AM IRIS.
A aluable Product Which Is the kesult

A Valuable Product Which Is the kesult
of Disease In the Whale.
A valuable. product of this whale is
the..remarkable substance called AMBER
gris-i. e., gray amber. Until late
years ambergris could only be found
floating on the surface of the sea, the
| coasts of Africa, Brazil and the Bahia
mas being the usual localities for it.
The color of ambergris when broken is
ashen gray, mostly clouded with a red
dish hue, and diversified with irregular
streaks of yellow and black spots. On
the exterior it is black and shining.
and looks as if it had here and there
been daubed with pitch. 1t is mostly
found in Jumps varying in weight from
half an ounce to q hundred pounds, or
even moro. As it is worth about a
| guinea per ounce, a large piece is of
very great value; so that a party of
sailors who once found q lump of
fifty pounds weight and knew the
value of their discovery, deserted
their ship and went home with
their prize. Ambergris has now been
robbed of its mysteries and is known to
be unprosaically formed by a morbid
condition of the intestine, and there
fore each whale is carefully searched be-
fore the bodyis cut adrift after the blub-
Der and spermaceti have been removed.
Not one whale in fifty, however. pro-
duces a single ounce of ambergris. The
black spots which have been mentioned
are the hard beaks of octopods which
the whale has eaten, and which retain
their shape after the soft flesh has been
digested: The geological reader may
remember that the beaks of cuttles
have been found within the bodies of
certain fossil reptiles, thus showing
c%onclusively what was the nature Of
their food. There are several speci-
mems in the College of Surgeons, n
being a valuable object, as it is cylin-
drical, and retains the shape of the in-
testine in which it was formed. Am
hergris is little used in Europe, but in
the East it is held IN high reputation,
partly as a perfume. and partly as q
valuable ingredient in cookery.-Losq-
mans Magazane.

Trine Fishy.

Jim johnson and Tom Pitcher, of
Union Point, went fishing a few days
ago, but in a short time their bait gave
out and they had caught no fish. They
scufled around and found a large black
bug and hitched him by the gable end
to their hook. Then they sat down,
both holding to the pole, and patiently
waited to catch a whale, but got no
bite. Finally they concluded to AZ
anime their bait. TO their astonish-
ment the bug was much larger than
when they put him on the hook, SO
they cut him open and found that he
had been fishing himself. and had
caught and swallowed a half dozen
minnows. The young men looked at
each other in silent disgust Detroit

The Idaho

The statement made by apress dispatch
from Idaho in regard to the defalcation
of Isaac Hibbs, postmaster at Lewiston,
does not tally with the information re-
ceived from the detective service Of the
Postofice Department. Hibbs could not
have taken $50. 600, $ stated, because he
did not have money orders enough to get
that amount. 1t appears that Hibbs will
receive very little of the money which
he planned to get. Thus far thirty
money orders have been heard from, and
Of these twelve were intercepted at
Pierce City. Hibbs wrote to his friends
and various banks whom he charged to
collect money orders, asking that his
mail be sent to Victoria, British Column
bia, also to Pierce City to forward to
Victoria, coming to the fictitious name of
Wilson. The postmaster was ordered by
the Postmaster General not to forward
the mail as directed. The postmaster at
Victoria was also instructed TO withhold
all mail for Hibbs or Wilson. The de-
tectiye who was emf to work up the mat
ter belongs to the San Francisco force,
and is one Of the best in the United
States. The postofice authorities do not
deny OF affirm. but it is suspected that
Hibbs is already under arrest. and as
soon as the papers necessary have been
made IL he will be brought back to
Idaho.
