Amber.

The source of amber was long I'M
known. By some it was regarded
as carbonaceous mineral, but it has
been found to be the resinous gum OF
an extinct species of cone-bearing
trees. Professor Zaddach thinks that
the trees which yielded the amber
must have grown upon the greenland
beds of the cretaceous period, flourish
ing luxuriantly on the marshy coast
which then surrounded the great con-
tinent of northern Europe. Probably
the temperature then was much high.
erthan it is now; and this even at that
epoch extended to the now frost
bound Arctic regions, a fact which
has been proved by the remarkable
plant-remains of temperate climes
which have recently been discovered
there. The amber flora of the Baltic
area under review contains northern
forms associated with plants of more
temperate zones; thus camphor trees
(CtnndmOmun) occur with willows,
birches, beeches. and numerous oaks.
The largest quantity of the gum
appears to have been derived from
the PinuS Saccinus. More than two
hundred specimens Of objects have
been found imbedded in the fossil
gum, including insects, reptiles,
leaves, grains, shells, fruit, etc. Am
Der was known to the ancients by
the name of "electron," on account
of its electrical susceptibility it was
also engraved and used by them for
seals, etc. 1t occurs abundantly on
the Prussian coast Of the Baltic, from
Dantzic to Memel. 1t is also found
on the coast Of Denmark and Swe-
den, in Galicia, Poland, Moravia, the
Ural, Switzerland (near Basle),
France (near Paris). near London,
in various parts of Asia, and in the
greensand OF New jersey, and also
10 Japan. 1t is chiefly found in
Prussia, however, and is not abun-
dant elsewhere. In the latter coun.
try it occurs in the primary deposits
of the coast. The amber bearing
stratum, which lies partly below the
sea level and partly above, is of a
blush green color, and consists of a
coarse-grained sand, the particles of
which have yellow coating. In
this blue earth is found the amber to
the amount of p pounds to 90 cubic
feet. The pieces Of amber found are
generally weathered, but have re-
tanned their original shape, showing
that the sea had but little action on
them. The color is far from con.
slant, being Of all shades of yellow
and brown.
The amber dredging establishment
at Sehwartzort, on the Curish Half
(near Mcneil, produces about $4,000
to 10000 pounds of amber yearly,
and is still in the hands of a Konigs-
berg firm, which keeps its transac-
tons very secret -Four steam dredg-
es are employed for the collection OF
the amber, as we'll as considerable
number of dredges worked by hand.
The amber is found almost uniformly
in separate nodules, with Ignite, dis
seminated in the sand. at depth of
from 10 to IL feet. Work is carried |
on by night as well as day, by "shifts"
of workmen, laboring eight hours
each. The work gives employment
to about 400 persons. The amber
collected is considerable, amounting
to about 2ss pounds per shift, and
for six days work, 5,lS4 pounds.
The sand, after being dredged up, is
sent on shore, where it is washed in
order to find the amber - Commercial

FROM THE FRENCH

have been well acquainted with
q mountebank 1t 10 not of politi-
clans that l wish to tell you, but on.
ly of q common acroboat. Why
should | have known him As San
cho says, one should have friends
everywhere.
This mountebank has Just died,
and l am going to tell you his story
II 10 common place enough. when
all said but this moutebank in dy-
ing uttered a sublime word. IL was
the grain OF gold 10 the heap of sand
Pierre Boursot was born at Sou.
litrs, q little village near Mans. His
father was cooper. AT five ono is
not an aristocrat; and | have had
many q pleasant game with little
Pierre. In time it became necessary
TO go to Paris TO college and after
that could see my former comarde
only during vacations. We were
no longer together, but we were not
lost to each others sight.
As Tor Pierre, he grew big, went
to the common school, became q
good workman like his father and
toward his nineteenth year nothing
would do but he must fall 10 love
with the cures niece, a very pretty
girl, on my word. But it was not
for him that two black eyes beamed,
aud that beat little heart whose
futtering agitated young bosom
div nelly nodded.
All these treasures were reserved
for the village teacher. When Pier.
re learned not only that he was not
loved, but that bis charmer loved
aLother, the unhappy boy became
mad, and two days before the wed.
ding night he sought quarrel with
his happy rival. A struggle follow
ed, and the poor devil Of tutor, cut
with knife, fell never to rise again.
1t was on that OCCASION that l for
the first time gained knowledge of
the quality of French justice. The
case was very simple, was it not?
The affair occurred 10 the presence
of ten witnesses, and for that mat.
ter, Pierre avowed all that one
could ask, even generalization W hich
was entirely unnecessary. Well,
the magistrate found grounds for
sending the prisoner to jail for six
monthsl That was astonishing
eaough, but what was more so was
that Pierre, defended by young
lawyer who made bis debut az an
advocate 10 the case, was acquitted
on the trial.
Once more free, Pierre did not 20
back to Soulitre. He disappeared
without even communicating with
his relatives. In the summer, when
| again saw his father, / said to him
"Have you received letter ?" mo-
answered poor Coursot. Afterward
| did not ask him the question, 30
as not to revive grief which time
was healing.
