are known to grow at a depth of 200
feet and live even deeper, doubtless.
At the depth of fifty feet they can be
forked by an expert fisher, but at a
greater depth they must be got by
diving.
Sponge fishers use a glass by. which
sponges can be seen growing on the
bottom. The instrument is in the na

sponges grow is very clear, and bottom
can be seen at a great depth.
The home of the sponge fishing indus

large percentage of the Mediterranean
sponges come from the island of Hy
dra. Some, however, come from off
the Coast of TripoH. A few sponges
come from the faroff land of Madagas

year when sponge fishing is practically
abandoned. This is in August and
September, the hurricane months. Dur
ing the other ten months the industry
flourishes.

All unmarried females of means and
position are chaperoned here, Age
doesn’t matter. They are spinsters—
that’s enough. No tender maid of thir
ty goos unattended in California. No
single womap of any age goes to the
theater alone with a man, and, as for
“buggy riding,” the custom is un
known. No girl goes to a restaurant
for lunch with a youth she has known
from the cradle. It would not be cor
rect, and it would not be entirely cor
rect, either, for her to get another girl.
No; she must have the chaperon—the
tried and seasoned veteran of matri
mony—or else the proprieties will be
split up the back.
The ardor with which the cult of the
chaperon has been taken up in the
west should make the thoughtful
pause. At the rate we’re going at
we’ll soon be where they are in France,
and it will be hopelessly compromising
for any of us to walk two blocks on

“Go, sir?” replied John. ‘‘They’re not

How the Discovery of the Precious
Metal Was Made.
On May 8,1859, as stated in Fossett’s
“Colorado” (1876), John Gregory, a
prospector, climbed the hill inte wbat
is still known as Gregory gulch (mid
way between the present Central City
and Black Hawk), scraped away the
grass and leaves, filled his pan with
flirt and took.^t down to the stream.
Upon panning (washing) it down,
there was about $4 worth of gold in it.
This was followed by a stampede to
the Gregory diggings, as they were
afterward called. Gregory employed
five men from the new arrivals and by
means of a .sluice took out $972 in one
week. Other rich strikes were made
almost daily, and large amounts of
gold were taken out in a short lime.
The Bates, Bobtail, Mammoth, Gun
nell, Gurroughs, Illinois and hundreds
of other lodes were found, and thou
sands of claims were taken up. As the
summer of 1859 advanced the wealth
of the gold veins and gulches of what
is now Gilpin county became more and
more apparent. Over 15,000 men were
congregated in Gregory, Russell and
tributary gulehes, and many of them
were accumulating wealth rapidly, but
everything valuable was soon pre
empted, and large numbers were forced
to hunt -their fortunes elsewhere.—En

It is said the powdered borax will
take grease spots out of woolen goods
better than anything else that can be
used on short notice. Spread the skirt
out with the spot over a smooth place
on the table and rub the borax into it
with the^ fingers, allowing it to remain
a few minutes, then brush off with a

times or till the spot disappears, and
your skirt is ready to wear.

The Water Pomp.
The most ancient description we have
of & water pump is by Hero of Alexan

the general use of the pump in Ger
many previous to the beginning of the
sixteenth century. At about that time
the endless chain and bucket works
for raising water from mines began to
be replaced by pumps.
The Force of Cyclones.
Careful estimates of the force of a
cyclone and the energy required to
keep a full, fledged hurricane in active
operation reveal the presence of a pow

men appear as nothing in comparison.
A force fully equal to over 400,000,000
horsepower was estimated as develop
ed in a West Indian cyclone. This is
about fifteen times the power that can
be developed by all the means within
the range of man’s capabilities during
the same time.
