The Amber MOnOpO ly.

At Konigsberg, a few days ago, the right to
collect amber on the beach near Schwarzort
during space Of IL years from the lst of
December next was sold to the firm Of Becker
& Co., which has held the contract during the
last "a years. The price paid is $50, 900
marks year-say S37 600. The Prussian
coast Of the Baltic, between Memel and
Konisberg, yields more amber than any other
known locality, and it is from this source
that the great demand for the material in the
East is supplied. Originally Konigsberg did
vast business in amber, having some 20
turner's, but Dantzic is now the chief seat Of
the industry and notably of the manufacture
of mouth-pieces for pipes. In old times the
Grand Masters of the Ieutonic Order enjoyed
a monopoly in the amber trade then it pass
ed to the crown, and very stringent re gulations
were enacted to prevent its Infringement.
'StraDd-riders" patrolled the coast, and a
range Of gallows was kept standing IN teyro-
rem, on which the hapless peasant taken
with piece Of the precious material in his
possession was hanged out Of hand. Even
now it is theft for person to retain piece
Of amber he has picked up on the coast, and
trespass TO venture there in certain districts
The amber, washed out Of extensions Of coal
beds beneath the sea, comes up to The shore
in the seaweed cast up after storm. The
men drag the weed on shore in nets, and the
women and children pick out the amber. In
winter, when the sea is frozen over, holes are
broken in the ice and the weed is hauled up
with pixies and spears.

The Centre of Population.

A volume recently issued from the
Census Office, embracing portion of the
statistics gathered at the enumeration OF
1880, contains a diagram which shows how
the centre of population has shifted from
decade to decade, since 1870, in its steady
march westward. What statisticians
understand by the term centre of popula-
ton is the point at which equilibrium would
be reached were the country taken as a
plane surface without weight. but capable
of sustaining weight. and the inhabitants
distributed over it in number and position as
they are found at the period under consider
alton, each inhabitant being supposed to be
of equal weight, and consequently to
exert pressure on the pivotal point in
direct proportion to his distance therefrom.
The first census of the United States,
taken in 1890, showed the centre of
population TO be on the eastern shore of
Maryland about twenty-five miles from
Baltimore and near the thirty-ninth paral-
lei of latitude. From that point it has
moved westward at the average rate of
about fiftv-one miles in a decade. never
deviating as much as degree to the north
or south of the thirty-ninth parallel. BY
1900 it had moved forty one miles, and
was found at point eighteen miles west
of Baltimore. In 1910 it was near the
Potomac, in Virginia, at a place forty
miles northwest of Washington, having
travelled thirty-six miles during the pre-
ceding decade. BY 1860 it had reached a
point twenty miles south of Chillicothe,
o., and little north of the thirty-ninth
parallel, having made the greatest progress
ever made in a decade. the distance from
the last point being eighty-one miles.
This remarkable movement was caused
by the settlement of the Pacific Coast
twelve persons in San Francisco, by rea.
son Of their distance from the pivotal
point, counterbalancing forty persons
in Boston. The next step was forty-two
miles westward. and about twelve north
ward, which brought the centre into High
land county. Ohio, about forty eight miles
east by north of Cincinnati 1t is be-
lieved that the apparent northern move
ment during this decade was caused by a
defective enumeration of the colored pop
ulation of the Southern States at the CEN
sus of 1870. In 1880 the centre was near
the village of Taylorsville, Kentucky,
about eight miles west by south of Gin
cinnati, the westward progress being fifty
eight miles, and the DETECTION to the south
about eight. The census of 1890 will
probably discover it in Jennings county in
southeastern Indiana.
If there is no great change in the rate
of western movement of population, the
central point, still travelling, as i: doubt
less will, on line closely corresponding
to the thirty-ninth parallel of latitude
will not cross the Mississippi river until
1850, when it will be found not far from
the mouth of the Missouri II is not i'm
probable. however. that it will never
reach that stream. but will remain nearly
stationary somewhere in southern Illinois.

The Cowboy.

correspondent of the New York Times
explains to the uninitiated what the cowboy
Is. He is gentleman that ut the present
moment affects the frontier of Arizona and
New Mexico. Tombston has latterly been
their headquarters, from whence they take
their departure over the line or elsewhere, as
the case may be. and raids upon Mexicans
and his own people Unfortunately, stealing
| cattle, robbing stages and all who come in
their way, not stopping at murder; any re-
sistance or refusal to ''throw up your hands"
being followed by a pistol-shot, and they as
often shoot first.
Returning from their raids, they sell the
stolen cattle To butchers, who make ne in
qniries, and as long rs the proceeds last they
hang around the gambling saloons and swag-
ger through the streets, armed to the teeth,
ready for fight with anybody that may look
askance at them. They are a terror to the
traveller and citizen. Recently they have
been little more quiet, AS the citizens of
Tombstone have organized a vigilance COM
mittee and seem determined to abate the
presence of these gentlemen. Many, fearing
the consequences, have taken themselves of,
but they are not far away and are still about
the country. There is at present an oppos ing
party. consisting of the carp brothers and
friends.
A feud led to the recent shooting of one of
the Earps by one OF the opposite party, and
day or two later the leader, who was supposed
to have shot carp, was himself shot dead,
visited a friend in Tombstone, laid up with a
bullet hole through the leg, which he got by
being in the saloon at the time carp was shot.
the ball passing first through Earp's body,
1t is to be hoped that the Kilkenny cat
principle will prevail until both sides are
used up; at the present moment they are a
serious obstacle to the comfort and feeling Of
security to the traveller. Between cowboys
and Apaches things are decidedly lively, the
doubt in your mind as to which you will meet
before the day is over giving a pleasant ex-
citement and serving to relieve the monotony
of the road.

Is an able expose of the coelie system

and impartial account of Its effect upon
the Industries of the State. The dcscrlp
lions of life and crime in Chinatown are
vivid and accurate. and the fairness OF the

his expressions exceptionally valuable.
His views on the subject are sound and
