HOW SPONOES ARE SECURED.

Methods te Obtain Tfcsas -Demand KEceeda the Supply, The sponge belongs to one of th# lowest order* of auinial life. Its skeleton is a strong fibrous substance, and the animal part of it ia a gelatinous matter which tills the pores and covers the entire surface. If this matter Is not removed within a few houra after the sponge has been torn from the rock or stones to which It was fastened it la almost impossible to purify it. The hooking or harpooning methods used iu the Florida and Cuban fishing grounds are useless when the sponges lie In deep water. In some parts of the Mediterranean sea, where very fine sponges are found, the old method of diving Is used. The diver fastens a stone to his feet and with a long rope in his hand goes down feet first. Some divers can remain under water for three minutes at a time. They snatch the sponges from the bottom, working as rapidly as possible. If lucky, the diver fills the little basket he carries, tugs hard at the rope and is drawn to the surface. Another method employed in spongefishing is dredging. The dredge Is a strong, heavy net, from six to eight yards long and about one yard high. It is made of hair cords, with the meshes

about four Inches square. Thla Is dragged along the bottom by a rope attached to the bowsprit of a small sailing vessel. As It passes over the bottom It tears the sponges from their anchorage and they fall Into the net. Of late years divers clad In armor have become common off the Greek coast. They descend in thirty and forty fathoms and bring up the finest nursery and toilet sponges and rare cup sponges. After the sponges are brought to the land they are buried in sand and kept there until they are decomposed. Then they are washed in a running stream of fresh water, carefully dried and packed in bales for the market. If the sponges are not perfectly dry when packed they are liable to catch the cholera, which means that they become heated and are discolored with orange-colored blotches. The demand for fine sponges always exceeds the supply, and some particularly fine cup sponges have brought SIOO a dozen. The prices of Florida sponges have doubled iu the last twenty years, and sponge experts declare that they will be still more expensive. As sponges are sold by weight, dishonest dealers frequently fill the sponges with sand to increase the weight, but this practice Is dying out. The practical value of the sponge lies In its great absorbing capacity and also Is due to the fact that water softens the tissues until they become soft and pliable. Although sponges are found in all tropical or semi-tropical waters, the commercial sponges are confined almost exclusively to the waters of the southern and western coast of Florida, the Bahaman archipelago and to the Mediterranean and Red Seas. The sponges as they are found in their native waters vary in form; some are cup or vgse shaped, others half round, others globular, some are fan shaped and some cylindrical. .

The way In which live American towns recover from a great calamity was shown In the rapid restoration of Chicago after the fire of 1871, and again In the case of Johnstown, wiped out almost completely by floods. In 1887 the borough bad a population of 9,592; now It la a city of 30,000 inhabitants, and taking in the immediately surrounding territory the population of what is really the new Johnstown numbers about 35,000. The mother of Tesla, the famous electrician, found her lot cast In a very wild country, far from any of the conveniences of civilization. She had, however, inherited an inventive spirit from her father, an inventor and constructor of machinery, and she resolutely mpde good the deficiencies in her home by constructing nearly all the articles needed In the household, and without objects from which to copy. She planted hemp, and flax, took out the fiber, spun the thread and then made her own loom preparatory to weaving. This cloth produced by her varied from the heaviest grades suitable for winter clothing to fine pieces suitable for embroidery.

DEATH’S AWFUL FORM

COMES TO IMPRISONED PASSENGERS AT SEA. Bixte*n Die In Flames on the Mallor 3 Liner Leona-111-Fated Boat Beaches New York Harbor with Her Ghastly Cargo. Cremated on the Fea. The Mallory line steamer Leona, which left her pier at New York on Saturday, bound for Galveston, took fire at sea, put back and arrived in port Sunday night with sixteen corpses on board. The dead were thirteen steerage passengers and three members of the *rew, who succumbed to & terrible fire which occurred off the Delaware capes at an early hour Sunday morning. The horror of the story can hardly be told. Those who are dead were penned up below decks, and although frantic efforts were made by tie officers of the vessel to save them, the fire had gained such terrible headway before - the danger was discovered that all escape was cut off. The steamer carried in her cargo many bales of cotton. When the fire was discovered it burst forth with such fury that it was impossible to reach the steerage. The saloon passengers were first aroused, and in such a manner as to occasion little alarm. When it became apparent that the fire had cut off the steerage the captain and his men poured great quantities of water down the ventilator, and the most frantic efforts were made for the escape of those penned up. In this way nine of the steerage passengers made their escape. S. V. Winslow, of Rutherford, N. J., a survivor, told the following graphic story of the fire: “First Mate Wallace was pacing the bridge about 2 a. m., when he thought that he smelled smoke. He went down the forward to the companion way and opened the door. There was a burst of flame, which burned his face. “Wallace cried the alarm of fire to the forward watch, telling him to wake the steward and have all the passengers aroused as quickly as possible, without creating any excitement. Warns the Passengers.

“The steward said in calm tones that there was a slight fire in the forward part of the ship, and it might be advisable for the passengers to get their things together. It might be possible, he added, that the ship would eventually have to be abandoned. “There was no excitement among the saloon passengers. The steward made frequent trips forward, and came back with reports of the progress of the flames. He said that the fire was confined below decks, and, as the flames did not rise very high, the passengers did not fully realize the extent of the peril. “Oapt. Wilder at once ordered the crew to rescue the steerage passengers. On the same deck with the steerage, on the port side of the ship, a large quantity of cotton bagging was stored, separated from the steerage passengers by a board partition. “The main deck was almost completely filled with freight, cutting off all exit from the steerage to the afterpart of the ship. The only way out from the steerage was up the forwaud coinpaniouway. Try to Bave Those In the Steerage. “The crew attempted to descend. They were driven back by dense volumes of smoke and flames. The smoke and flames also came up through the ventilators, and it was apparent to all who were on deck that below decks was a roaring furnace. “Then it dawned ou the officers und crew that the unfortunates in the steerage were probably burning to death. Oapt. Wilder saw his crew driven back from the eompanionway and the relation of the horror below made him desperate. “He rushed to the stairs and boldly attempted to go below. He did not get down more than half a dozen steps when the increasing clouds of smoke and the flames shooting up around him drove him back on deck. “He stepped back to the shelter of the pilot taiuse, His face was scorched. Bis eyebrows were burned aw’ay. He stood there dazed and overcome for a moment. Then he exclaimed: ‘No man can go through that and come out alive.’ “When the steward aroused me I jumped up hastily and dressed. I ran forward to see how extensive the fire was. The captain was just coming out of the companionway after his fruitless effort to go below. “When I looked down into that horrible hole the thought came over me like it had over the captain and the crew that there were helpless people down below who were probably burning to death.

“I listened for sounds, but could beer nothing save the roar of the flames as they grew steadily in volume below and rolled round and round in the narrow quarters. There was not a scream, not a shriek, no signs of life below. Only a slight wind was blowing from the southward, that carried the volume of smoke aft over the full length of the ship and her in a shroud of choking black, until tjie captain gave orders to change the course completely, so that the smoke would be blown over the bow. The speed of the ship was first slackened, then the order was given to keep up bare steerageway. "When the news of the fire reached the lower depths of the ship, where the stokers were feeding the boilers, they deserted their posts and rushed to the deck, eighteen of them in all. They clambered into the second boat on the port side and began cutting it away. First Officer Wallace and Chief Engineer Taylor were after them in a moment. “ ‘Get out of that boat,’ thundered Wallace. “The stokers refused to obey and went on cutting away the lashings of the boat. “ ‘Come out of that boat,’ re-echoed Taylor. Then he reached for his revolver. ‘I will shoot the man who cuts away the boat.’ “The Spaniards looked at the chief engineer and then sullenly obeyed. Nine Make Their Escape. “During the excitement of the first hour we did not know that anyone had gotten out of the steerage alive, but later we found in the cabin that nine of them had managed to get out. Their bunks had been nearest to the companion way, and they had been awakened by the part of the crew rushing out of the forecastle. The fire crept up through cracks about the pilot-house and then into the house itself. The quartermaster stuck to the until the flames almost enveloped him. “Captain Wilder ordered signal lights of distress burned, and in a very few minutes there flashed, up In the darkness far to the north an answering signal. It came from the City of Augusta of the Savannah line, which came alongside about daybreak. 1 ” “The passengers were all transferred te the City of Augusta in safety and the work of fighting the fire was continued. About 9 o’clock in the morning the flames were under control and the steamer out of danger. The passengers were sent back to the Leona and the City of Augusta continued on her way to Savannah. The Leona put abbot and returned to port under her own steam.”

CHANGES IN TARIFF.

DINGLEY MEASURE HAS BEEN REMODELED. The Senate Committee Brlnge la a Report Showing Many Modificattona in the Hones Bill—Will Not Be Retroactive. Measure aa Amended The tariff bill, as reported by the Senate Committee on Finance Tuesday, is a very different measure from that which passed the House, and the members of the committee intend to make still further amendments as soon as they have time to prepare them. Among these will be a broad reciprocity clause ns a substitute for that which appears in the House bill. The duty on tea and the additional tax on beer are intended to be temporary, and for the purpose of raising revenue. Senator Aldrich presented the bill to the Senate. The time for the bill to take effect is made July 1, 1897, instead of May 1, as provided in the House. The sugar schedule is wholly rewritten in the interest of the trust. The word bituminous is stricken out and all coal made dutiable at 75 cents per ton, with a proviso added that the duty on coal and shale shall be GO cents per ton, and on coal slack, or culma, 15 cents per ton, when imported from any country, colony or dependency that does not impose upon coal or coal slack or culma higher rates of duty than those named In this proviso. The Senate has Increased the Internal revenue duty on beer by changing section 8339 of the revised statutes to read aa follows: Until Jan. 1, 1900, there shall be paid on all beer, lager beer, ale, porter, and other similar fermented liquors, brewed or manufactured and sold or removed for consump* tlon or sale within the United States, by whatever name such liquors may be called, a tax of (1,44 for every barrel containing not more than 81 gallons; and after Jan. 1, 1900, there shall be paid a tax of $1 per barrel on every barrel of such beer, lager beer, ale, porter, and other similar fermented liquors.

The present rate is sl. The retroactive clause of the Dingley tariff bill is stricken from the Senate bill. The entire House provision relating to reciprocity has been stricken out and the following section substituted: That whenever any country, dependency or colony shall pay or bestow, directly or Indirectly, any bounty or grant upon the exportation of any article or merchandise from such country, dependency, or colony, and such article or merchandise Is dutiable under the provisions of this act, then, upon the Importation of any such article or merchandise Into the United States, whether the same shall be Imported directly from the country of production or otherwise, and whether such article or merchandise Is Imported in the same condition aB when exported from the country of production, or has been changed In condition by manufacture or otherwise, there shall be levied and Said In all such cases. In addition to the utles otherwise Imposed by this act, an additional duty equal to the net amount of such bounty or grant, however the same be paid or bestowed. The net amount of all such bounties or grants shall be from time to time ascertained, determined, and declared by the Secretary of the Treasury, who shall make all needful regulations for the Identification of such articles and merchandise, and for the assessment and collection of bucli additional duties. The House provision in the tariff bill keeping in force the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty is stricken out, the effect being indirectly to abrogate the treaty and impose the same duty on Hawaiian sugars as is imposed on sugars from other countries. The provision in the House bill on distilled wines is stricken out and the following substituted: Still wines, Including ginger wine or ginger cordial and vermuth, In casks or packages, other than bottles or Jugs, If containing 14 per cent, or less, of absolute alcohol, 80 cents per gallon; If containing more than 14 per cent of absolute alcohol, 50 cents per Sallou. In bottles or Jugs, per case of one ozen bottles, or Jugs, containing each not more than one quart, and more than one pint, or 24 bottles or Jugs containing each not more than one pint, $1 per case; and any excess beyond these quantities found In such bottles or Jugs shall be subject to a duty of 0 cents per pint or fractional part thereof, but no separate or additional duty shall be assessed on the bottles or Jugs; provided, that any wines, ginger cordial, or vermuth Imported containing more than 24 f>er cent of alcohol shall be classed as spirts, and pay duty accordingly. And provided further, that there shall be no constructive or other allowance for breakage, leakage, or damage on wines, liquors, cordials, or distilled spirits. Wines, cordials, brandy and other spirituous liquors, Including bitters of all kinds, and bay rum, or buy water, imported In bottles or Jugs, shall be packed In packages containing not less than one dozen bottles or Jugs In each package, or duty shall be paid as If such package contained at least one dozen bottles or Jugs; and all such bottles or Jugs shall, unless otherwise specially provided for In this act, pay an additional duty of 3 cents for each bottle or Jug. The percentage of alcohol In wines and fruit juices shall be determined In such manner as the Secretary of the Treasury shall by regulation prescribe. Lumber and Wool Change*. The lumber schedule is changed by adding after the word timber the words “Hewn, sided, or squared and round timber,” and the duty fixed at the rate of 1 cent per cubic foot as in the Hon. l- :; bill. The rate of $2 per ton on all sawed boards, etc., is retained, but when planed on one side, the additional rate is made 35 instead of 50 cents per 1,000 feet board measure; when planed, tongued, and grooved the additional rate is made 70 cents per 1,000 feet board measure instead of $1; if planed on two sides and tongued and grooved $1.05 per 1,000 instead of $1.50. The House proviso for an additional duty of 25 per cent ad valorem upon lumber imported from any -foreign country which imposes an export duty is changed so as ' j add the amount of the export duty instead of any fixed sum. Placed on the free list are poplar and other pulp woods, heading bolts, stave bolts and railroad ties. Many and important changes were made in the wool and woolen schedule. First-class wools were reduced from 11 cents per pound, as provided in the House bill, to 8 cents per pound, and second-class wools from 12 to 9 cents, whereas the duties on wools of the third class were raised. The dividing line in this latter class was placed at 10 cents value, wools under that value being made dutiable at the rate of 4 cents per pound instead of 32 per cent ad valorem, as in the Jlouse bill. Wools valued at more than 10 cents per pound were placed at 7 cents per pound instead of 50 per cent ad valorem. The wool growers failed to secure all the changes they desired in classification, but it is understood that the rates fixed on the wools themselves are satisfactory to them.

A man made mad Is one who, after suffering ten, fifteen or twenty years with rheumatism, finds that by the use of a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil he Is cured. He feels the waste of his life In pain, with the loss of time, place and money, and then reflects that for the expense of GOc. he could have saved all this and lived free of pain; It Is enough to make him mad. Most of our sufferings are Intensified by delay In seeking relief, and there Is much worth knowlug as regards the cure of palu that we find out at last only by the use of the best cure. It Is worth knowing that for the cure of rheumatism there Is special virtue In The Great Remedy for Fain, St. Jacobs Oil. and as so much can be saved by its use. the cost Is really nothing.
