The Appeal

The SPONGE INDUSTRY in the AMERICAS By F. A. PIERCE A SPONGE FLEET hook as discovered. To overcome the ripples in the water, which interfered with their fishing, the spongers soon learned to make use of oil, and that extracted from the liver of sharks was found to be the best. Another change in the method soon followed, for a man standing upright in his boat found considerable difficulty seeing the bottom with sufficient distinctness. To oversee the sponges, a man with a telescope," was introduced, which was merely ordinary wooden pail with a glass instead of wooden bottom. This device was introduced in 1870, and necessitated two men for each boat, one to propel the boat and the other to search for and gather up the sponges. Later large vessels came into use in the Florida waters and sponging was often carried on at a distance of 20 to 30 miles from shore. The average size of the sponges was about 15 tons capacity, rigged as schooners in the form of cases, and carrying a crew of from 5 to 13 men in a rule the proceeds of the sponging trips go into a common fund, from which each man receives his share according to his duties. When a vessel reaches a sponging ground, if the weather is favorable and the water sufficiently clear a bar is located by means of "sighting" with a water glass. The crew is sent out in small boats, two men in each, the "sculler" and the "hooker," the duty of the former beaker and the boat, to incidence to the signals of the latter to indicate the hooks when necessary. A proficient sculler and command of the boat, stopping it almost on the instant. Upon the hooker devolves the work of finding and catching the sponges. He leans over the side, watching the bottom through his water glass, the hook with its pole resting conveniently across the boat where it may be seized upon the instant. The position is a trying one physically, especially when the waves grow rough the work is impossible the sponge glass or bucket, with its glass bottom below the low surface of the water, operates by dispelling reflection, and to heighten its efficiency the hooker usually wears a straw hat which cuts off a large part of the direct light when his head is thrust into the mouth of the bucket. By this means the bottom may sometimes be seen in the depths of 50 feet. When a sponge is sighted, the maneuvers the boat into position at a word or sign on the hook; the latter seizes his hook, resting the hook on shoulder, and with his right hand lower it. It is then injected into the sponge, more or less distinctly visible through the water glass, which is held in position with the left hand. In pulling or tearing the sponge a certain degree of skill is required to prevent mutilation, which, of course, impairs its value in the markets. Some time, it is adhere so tightly that it requires the united parts of both men to loosen them, and in most cases parts of the base of the sponge are left behind. In deep water—that is, in depths over 28 or 40 feet—probably not more than one-third of the THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 27. NO. 35. W W HERE do all the sponges come from? We see them every day, and while everyone knows that they are products of the few know how they are gathered and how lumpy the districts where they are caught. To most people familiar only with the sponges of the shops, the animal as it comes from the sea would be rather unrecognizable. When brought to the surface they are black and slimy. The sponge of the market is merely the skeleton—supporting framework—which gives strength and form to the soft gelatinous tissues of the lily animal. Sponges are known to the general public almost solely for their use in the toilet—one of their minor applications. They are vastly more valuable in the arts. To the surgeon the sponge is invaluable, almost, as a life-saver in taking up wound care and of oralorrhage; while the doctor formerly prescribed burnt sponge for glandular swellings, nowadays iodine and bromine, which are the chemical and useful constituents, are used alone. In many trades they are practically indispensable, and imply the efforts and ingenuity of inventors, no satisfactory nature has ever been produced and it is doubtful whether one can be found. The properties that give a sponge its value are many; they are found in combination in no other natural or artificial product, and the impression of the sponge body is of small moment to civilization. 10 YELLOW SPONGE FLORIDA KEY small moment to civilization. Sponge life does not thrive in fresh water. Of the food of the sponges practically nothing is known. That it is taken in through the canal system and that it must be in a finely divided state is practically certain, but of what it constitutes is not known. They appear to have but few natural enemies. The so-called "roots" of sponges perform no other purpose than that of anchorage. The rate of growth of the sponge under natural, unhurried conditions, is also a matter of uncertainty, but it is estimated that the average 6-inch sponge is probably only four years old. The industry in the Americas is a most important one. The fisheries as at present developed are almost entirely restricted to the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, with its contiguous waters. As early as 1822 the inhabitants of Key West, Florida, learned, from specimens thrown up on the beaches, of the presence of them in the useful sponges. For some time they were in limited use among the inhabitants, but not until 1836 was a cargo sent to New York. Up to this time the entire sponge supply of the United States was derived from the Mediterranean, though of later years a few sponges come from the Bahamas. While fishing in the Americas is rather a modern industry, it produces more than two-thirds of the world's supply in weight; but the fisheries of the Mediterranean now produce about one-half of the world's supply in value. An idea of the number of sponges produced by the fisheries of the Americas can perhaps best be grasped if it is realized that last year's crop of dry sponges weighed 4,000,000 pounds; and as each pound is capable of absorbing 14 plants of water, it will be seen that the number of sponges Americas could absorb 7,000,000 gallons. Nor is there annual valuation of this product be lost sight of the last year there were produced in the Americas sponges valued at $1,500,000. The two places where sponge fishing is best studied in the Americas are at Tarpon Springs, Florida, and at Bataano, on the southern coast of Cuba. On the Florida coast there are two well-defined sponge regions. The Key grounds on the east, consisting of a chain of keys starting from the mainland near Miami and extending in the shape of a horn far into the Gulf of Mexico; and the Bay grounds on the west, also extending into the Gulf of Mexico. The Bay grounds, which formerly held a secondary position commercially, did practically the entire production of Florida sponge and are by far the most prolific in the Americas. The Atlantic side of the regions is not adapted to the propagation of this animal because of the depth and low temperature of the waters and the frequent disturbances of hurricanes. These valuable sponge grounds have been overfished in and out of season to such an extent that congress found it necessary to enact a stringent law for the protection and conservation of this industry. This law prohibits divers from working between the 1st of May and the 15th of June, by for the worst deep, and vessels of the revenue cutter service patrol the Florida waters today to see that this law is enforced. While the sponging areas of Batabano, Cuba, and the Tarpon Springs, Florida, are figuratively within a stone's throw of each other, yet the methods of gathering in this interesting animal at these points are entirely different. In Florida the old method of sponging the sponge was to wade into the shallow waters and pull up the growth by hand. Later the sponge hook was introduced. This was a two-timed short hook attached to a pole of moderate length; a hook was then used to implement after a while. With the introduction of deeper water was explored. The fisherman standing in his boat closely scanned the bottom of the water for sponges, tearing them loose with the THE APPEAL. THE BOAT FLEET EXHIBIT OF SPONORS DATABANG hookergs have sufficient strength, keenness of sight, and skill with the pole to work successfully. In consequence of this and the fact that only when the water is exceptionally clear can the sponges be seen at all in the greater depths, most of the hooking is carried on in less than 6 fathoms of water. In 1895 the Mediterranean method of sponging with diving apparatus was introduced into the Florida field. It was most successful. As compared with hooking, the diving system requires a much more expensive equipment. Its mumps, suits, and gear are all more costly than the sponge hooks and glasses, which constitute the secondary equipment of the hooker. The expense of operation and cost of maintenance are also heavier, and to meet this additional cost the yield per man must be considerably DALAPARO ANGLO CHE is propelled by two steel oars, which are operated through two water-tight joints. Attached to the forward section of the keel is a wheel, upon which the vessel travels over the level bottom of hard sand upon which the sponges are found. The sponging-apparatus consist of a water-joint object from the bow through a water-joint spherical joint. This is operated by a man inside the hull from a view obtained through the forward window. Electric lights furnish illumination. The sponges as fast as seized are thrown into a basket suspended from a forward arm of the boat. Thus it will be seen that while both the diving and hooking methods are in vogue in the sponging industry of Florida, the number of sponges which "get the hook" tully equidus the number outfitted by the divers the hulls of the main ship sippees are placed on deck and left there until all the slimy matter they contain is drained off. While the sponges are dying they give off a strong odor of ammonia, which, after a few days, changes to the more pleasure smell of seawed. The schooner then returns to its base of operation and places its catch in pens or "kraals," generally about 10 feet square and built of wattled stakes driven in shallow water in the shelter of some key or land, so that the flowing tide washes the sponges as it comes and goes. This washing process takes about one week, after which the sponges are thoroughly squeezed out and beaten with sticks until all the living matter disappears. They are then strung in bunches upon pieces of oope, after drying the sponges to a hardness of about 10 according to kinds, arranged in piles to show them to the best advantage, and soaked in water in order to swell them to their largest proportions.

They then attract the mite-mite upon pieces of rope. After drying the living matter are cleaned out quite thoroughly by hand, sorted according to kinds, arranged in piles to show them to the best advantage, and soaked in water in order to swell them to their largest proportions. They are now ready for market, and this phase of the industry is a most interesting one. At appointed times, sponge buyers assemble and, proceed from pile to pile, bid for each separately, basing their bids on the number of sponges and the size and grade of the sponges. After purchasing, the buyers forward the sponges to their packing and warehouses, which they maintain at convenient clean points on the coast, and the irregularly contained particles are removed, and the reduced and the larger sponges are fitted with shears, the clapper requiring a degree of shrinkage to the sponge to a regular shape with the minimum waste. After being trimmed with the sponges are sorted according to size and quality, and burgled in bales, which are wrapped in burlap. In Cuba the sponge is found on the north and south coasts. The most important beds are on the southern coast in the vicinity of Batabano, between the mainland and the Isle of Pines. While sponges are found in several other sections of the Americas, the distinction of furnishing the greatest variety belongs to Florida and the indies, the most popular grades being sheepswool fellet, yellow grass, glove, reef, and wire. The highest priced sponges are the Turkish. These have brought as high as 850 pound, but their production is extremely limited. Tex is America's sheep-wool variety, so called because of its resemblance. Notwithstanding that this is a much cheaper grade, it is often preferred to the Turkish sponge as a toilet article. Then, in order, follow the velvet, yellow, grass, and glove sponges. Dr. H. F. Moore, scientific assistant, United States bureau of fisheries, who was awarded the prize of one hundred dollars gold at the Fourth International Fishery Congress, in 1908, for the most comprehensive paper on sponge fisheries, has sold a series of experiments which have resulted in the production of the rooftop sponge. The root of the sponge is the most important part, and at this point it first begins to tear. A rootless sponge, therefore, will far outlast the common variety. At appointed times, sponge buyers assemble and, proceeding from pile to pile, bid for each separately, basing their bids on the number of bunches and the size and grade of the sponges. After purchasing, the buyers forward the sponges to their packing and warehouses, which they maintain at convenient points on the coast. Here they are thoroughly cleansed of the remaining dirt, all foreign particles are removed, and the irregular and torn parts are clipped with shears, the clippers requiring a degree of skill to remove the irregular, regular shape with the minimum waste. After regular sponges are sorted according to size and quality, pressed into bales, which are wrapped in burlap. In Cuba the sponge is found on the north and south coasts. The most important beds are on the southern coast in the vicinity of Batabano, between the mainland and the Isle of Pines. While sponges are found in several other sections of the Americas, the distinction of furnishing the greatest variety belongs to Florida and the West Indies, the more popular grades being sheep-wool, velvet, yellow, grass, glove, reef, and wire. The highest priced sponge is the Turkish. These have brought as high as $50 per pound, but production is extremely limited. Next is America, not knowing that this is a much cheaper grade, it is often referred to the Turkish sponge as a toil article. Then in order, follow the velvet, yellow, grass, and glove, Dr. H. F.

Its pumps, suits, and gear are all more costly than the sponge hooks and glasses, which constitute the secondary equipment of the hooker. The expense of operation and cost of maintenance are also heavier, and to meet this additional cost the yield per man must be considerably larger. Another method of gathering sponges which has not yet made its appearance in American waters is the sponge-fishing submarine boat, considered by many a practical and useful craft. This unique boat has been built in the building yard and sent to the sponge fishing grounds of Tunis, where it is now in operation. BIRD MEN OF OLD Greek Mythology Tells of First Aero Experiments. Flew With Legendary Wings of Wax to Escape Wrath of an Ancient King—Criminal Made the First Flight. Washington, D. C.—The first aeronautical voyage history chronicles was that of the legendary Daalusal and his son. As mythology says, the father, Daalusal, had some kind of a tiff with Minos, his majesty the king of Crete. One sunny day when the kingly wrath had reached the boiling stage, Daalusal and his son, Icarus, decided a different climate would be good for them. So the wings were waxed on and they sailed away. But they rose so high that the heat from the sun melted the wax and Icarus dropped into the icarus. Archytes of Tarsum were a pigeon of wood that flow in the fourth century, B. C. Simon, the magician, in 66 A. D. endeavored to do a little air experiment and broke his neck. In the reign of the Emperor Commenus a Saracen met a similar fate in Constantinople, and flying was abandoned for a few centuries. Joseph Montgolfier, a paper manufacturer of Annayon, France, discovered in 1782 that heat rarified air and made it occupy a much larger space than it did before being heated. He made a small parallelepiped of taffeta and filled it with heated air, it rose the roof of his apartment and he was made, on January 4, 1783, the first public ascension was made, who rode in this Montgolfier, as it was called, but the flight lasted ten minutes. To commemorate it a yearly festival was established. Hydrogen had been discovered by Cavendish six years before. It was found to have a specific gravity about one-sixteenth of that of air. Two THE FIRST PROSINGER BALLOON THE FIRST BALLOON Types of Early Balloons. months after Montgolfier's triumph Professor Charles of Paris sent up an inflated hydrogen balloon which, after travelling 15 miles, was torn to piece by the superstitious peasantry. A month later another Montgolfier was sent up containing a sheep, a cock and a duck. Louis XVI, king of France witnessed the flight, and he demanded that a human should make an ascension. He ordered that a criminal should be sent up. The famous Pilgrimage of the soul was granted. On October 15, 1783, the known ascension was made by Rozier in a hot air bag, remaining up 4 minutes and 25 seconds. America caught the fever, and James Willecx, a carpenter of Philadelphia, saw over the Schuylkill river in an aerostat made by the scientists, Rittenhouse and Hopkins. Two other flights, one of 27 miles in a Montgolfier from Paris, and a shorter one by Professor Charles in a hydrogen balloon, closed the first year of real flying known to the world. In 1784 more than 40 ascents and royages were made, the first trip in England being recorded in September 1785. The english channel was crossed from Calais by Blanchard and Dr. Jeffries, an American. So it went. Flight after flight was made and the fat became more popular. For almost a century the balloon scarcely altered in design, all of them were made with fantastic decorations and the wallow basket was not used. However, many improvements were affected in the method of inflation, the construction of the valve, the ripping of the valve and the scientific instruments used. Before 1862 balloons was looked upon much as an amusement, and in order to defray the balloonists' expenses the public had to pay to see their flights. The sizes of the balloons increased, previous balloons of the early days had been 20,000 cubic feet capacity, but one was constructed in Paris of 215,000 cubic feet in 1853. The balloon of the balloon of 450,000 cubic feet was made. Modern balloons did not run more than 80,000 cubic feet. That is the largest balloon which is allowed to compete for the James Gordon Bennett cup race. In 1836 the record flight was 500 miles in 18 hours. In 1870 balloons made a 'thousand miles and last year Hawley and Post established a new world's record of about 1,200 miles, flying for the Bennett trophy from St. Louis.

Sitka, Alaska.—What are known as totems, or totem poles, are quite common in Alaska territory. Some of these totems are shown in an accompanying illustration. As a usual thing these totem poles are of Alaska cedar, which is very tough in the territory. This wood, though of a hardy type, will yield fiber, is fine grained and adapted to carving. All the totems are made by Alaska Indians; the carving is done with rather rude, coarse implements, and consequently is of a crude, unartistic nature. None of the carv Totem Poles Near Sitka. Ing makes any approach to either beauty or the artistic. On the contrary, all of the work is rough and rudely performed. However, there is an element of the odd and protesque in all of these carvings, crucified through they are. In point of art the work may be compared to the rude paintings of the plains Indians on their skins composing their rude tents or tenes, buffalo robes etc. Generally the figures carved on these totems are those representing human beings, particularly the faces, features, etc., all of which are extremely grotesque and even drolly fantastic in shape and crude expression. Of course the forms of various wild animals, fish and marine creatures, etc., are carved on these pieces of wood. In point of size these totem figures vary from mere toy dimensions, up to very large size. Some of the figures are feet and even yards in length. When large these queer appearing figures are carved out of the solid tree or log and form part of it. The totems are invariably exposed, like those shown in the illustration, in the streets, along roadways, trails, the seashore and in many other places. AMERICAN WOMAN IN LONDON Wife of Diplomat and Writer Prominent in Social Life of Metropolis. London.—Among the American women who were conspicuous in the London social life of the recent coronation period was Halle Ermine Rivke, the beautiful wife of Post Wheeler. Mrs. Wheeler was a Kentucky girl and is a cousin of Amelia Princess Troubetzkoy, a well-known novellist. She is the author of least half a dozen novels which proved popular and remunerative. Perhaps her best known book is Satan Sanderson. In 1906 she married Post Wheeler, at that time secretary of the Amer- Hallie Erminie Rives-Wheeler. ican embassy at Tokyo, but now secretary of the embassy at St. Petersburg. Mr. Wheeler is an author of ability and has written considerable of interest and value on the Tukudh Indians in the Arctic regions, with whom he spent an extended period of time.

New York.—One of the most picturesque figures in the business and financial life of this country passed away in the death of John W. Gates. Gates was warmly loved and deeply hated. He won and lost millions, gave and received many hard blows, met the great kings of Wall street at their most familiar game of speculation and beat them, Brezely invaded many lines of endeavor and came out of them successful and wrote his name in large characters over financial events of a quarter of a century. He was a gambler by instinct. But he was never a bear. He was too optimistic for that. He believed in upbuilding rather than in tearing down, and he shared with others the results of his indefatigable chase for wealth. His readiness to take a chance on any reasonable proposition and the large sum of money he was willing to risk upon the soundness of his judgment earned for him the soubriquet of "Bet you-a Million" Gates. "All life is a gamble." Once said, the farmer was奖励ed when plants were harvested. Every man who goes into business embarks on speculation. It was barbed wire that made Gates. It was introduced into use at a time when the ranchmen of the west and southwest were fencing in their broad acres and Gates, who was then conducting a little hardware store at John W. Gates. Turner Junction, now a part of Chicago, saw his opportunity. He went to Texas as a salesman and soon took enough orders to swamp the manufactory for which he was working. Then he asked for a share in the profits and was refused. He became a manufacturer himself, establishing a plant at St. Louis, and soon found himself involved in lawsuits over patents. He moved into another state where the court, injections issued against him could not reach him, finally won his case and continued for a time a successful career as a maker of barbed wire. Gates never turned his back upon opportunity and he saw opportunity beckoning to him. He began organizing and consolidating wire companies. He organized the Consolidated Steel and Wire company, which was capitalized at $90,000,000, and which he sold to the Federal Steel company. Then followed the American Steel Wire company, capitalized at $90,000,000, and a little later the United States Steel corporation, with which Gates' companies were merged, was formed. He made millions out of these deals and other millions out of railway and industrial stocks. During his spectacular plunging in Wall street, which he entered soon after the close of the war with Spain, various attempts were made to break him. Occasionally his wings were somewhat singed, but he was never seriously wounded and he made the financial interests of Wall street reckon with him. In wheat and corn corns he is said to have made millions. He had nearly a perfect system of getting information of things which might affect Wall street. His own eyes were always open and when he could not look far enough ahead he paid others to do his scouting. Gates' business training began early. Before he was sixteen he contracted to husk a neighbor's corn and made enough money to buy an interest in a threshing machine. He happened to strike a year of bumper crops and he succeeded so well that he was able to buy out his partners. Giving his threshing machine as security, he bought a piece of woodland, converted it into firewood, cleared $1,000 and he was not then washing machine. And he was not then washing years of age. Some of Gates' spectacle ventures were on the turf, and many manures to his credit here he invaded England and is said to have made $1,375,000 one season. He was a man of tremendous energy, of heavy build, but not the least pictureque in appearance. He was not at all bruise and domineering, but gentle in manner and speech. i een BS 7 * WEEK'S RECORD IN MINNESO- TA’S CAPITAL. ‘The “Saintly City” and Saintly city Folks—Newsy Items of Social, Re- Mgtous, Political and General Mat- ters Among the Peopie, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1911. a eae ee eee PLEASE SEND IN THAT RECEIPT CARD.
