Saint Patrick's Day was celebrated
quietly here by the members of Father
Fishers church. In the evening an i'm
mense audience gathered at the opera
house to enjoy the excellent entertain
ment so kindly prepared by our Los An
geles friends. Father Fisher in his
hearty way made few remarks that
called down the house, closing by intro
ducing Judge Ryan, who gave an elo-
quent address. The instrumental music
by Messrs. Wilde and Brenner was
highly applauded. The baritone solo
by Mr.. Lagie. also the tenor solo by
Nuelle, were most enjoyable. Miss
Burdick and Miss Appel were charming
in their selections. Mrs. DR.. Kannon
captivated the audience with her pleas
ant manner and rich musical voice. Her
first selection being that sweet Irish bal
lad, the Bells of Shandon. For an en-
core she gave Killarney, which is dear
to every Irish heart.

An Ugly Bit Of Property.

In the gallery of the United States
Circuit Court is pile of oak tiIbers
that look strong enough to batter down
the biggest building in the city. Lying
apart they suggest nothing formidable
to the mind, but when they are put TO-
gether properly they make a gallows that
is eighteen feet high and has history:
The gallows is the property Of the United
States Government. On it were hanged
Hicks the pirate, and Gordon the SLAYER.
1t has not been used in years and the
possibility of its being called into service
again is unlikely. But it is carefully
preserved in order, probably, that no
man may be encouraged to commit a
capital crime on Government territory
because there is no gallows ready on
which to hang him.-Mw York Sun.

It is mistake to suppose that amber
is only used to tip pipes or give addi-
tional glory to a choice cigar, for, being
full of electricity, the smaller fragments
are made into beads and worn by many
people as q preventive Of soge thr2at and
Group. Children find relief in chewing
upon the polished surface while cutting
teeth. The Chinese wear bracelets made
of amber, and use large quantities OF it
in the construction of idols.
Amber is designated as clear, cloudy
or milky. The eastern nations prefer
the milky variety, but Americans as 8
rule choose the cloudy variety because it
is less easily initiated by gum copal:
The material is worked with chisel and
turning wheel, the former having raz-
orlike edge, and the most beautiful OBJ
jects are produced. Among the collec-
tions of an artist, which he preserves as
evidence of the kind of apprenticeship
he passed through, is an amber skull. 1t
is less than three-quarters of an inch high,
but the bones and articulations are dis
tinctly marked. A magnifying glass is
necessary to enjoy the marvellous detail
of the carving
Another specimen is holder, with a
hollow head of a monk for the cigar, the
old recluse laughing; but you can only
see the wrinkles in his face through a
glass. There are still other representa-
tions in art that will vie in perfection
with the most famous statues, and YET
there may not be half an inch OF substance
on which to carve the lines.
Take it all in all, amber in its histor.
and results constitutes one of the most
interesting studies in natural history, and
to see the deft workman evolve from the
crude mass forms of beauty on which the
eve loves to linger is luxury that is en-.
joyable by every devotee of high art

AMBER HUNTERS AT WORK.

tainable. For all we know to the con-
trary,it was contemporaneous with Adam
and Eve. The prophet Ezekiel speaks of
a great cloud with a fire Unfolding it and
a brightness about it of the color of
amber. The classic writers of old COM
pared it with the yellow tresses of the
celestial divinities.
Sophocles sang Of amber as "the con.
gealed tear drops of the birds that
mourned the death Of Meleager." As
tradition hath it, "the sisters of Meleager
wept increasingly after his. death, until
Diana changed them into guinea hens,
which were transferred to the island of
Leros." A still older fable, coeval with
Hesiod himself (who lived about 735 B.
c., and wrote an account of the birth of
the world and the origin of the gods),
relates how Phethon paid the penalty of
his drive across the heavens in the chariot
of the sun, Zeus having killed him with
flash of lightning and hurled hin: down
into the River Eridanus. His sisters, the
Heliada, daughters of Helios (the sun),
who had yoked the horses to the chariot,
bewailed the death of their brother SO
bitterly that the gods, in compassion,
changed them into poplar trees that
"shed tears of AMBER In later times
the Eridanus was supposed to be the
same as the River Pc, because amber
was found on the banks. Hence the
Electrides insule, or 'amber islands,
ore placed at its mouth.
The philosophers showed themselves
scarcely less imaginative than the poets.
With them amber was liquid produced
by the rays of the setting sun, or an ex.
cretion of the ocean thrown up by its
waves in the spring, or the gum of GER
tain trees growing on some of tie mac
cessible islands in the Adriatic, which
exuded from their branches with the
rising of the dog star. Thales, the first
to observe its electrical properties, was
so struck with its power Of attracting
other substances that he did not hesitate
to endow the amber with the possession
of soul. Absurd as were the deduc-
tions, they constitute the germ OF tne
modern science of electricity, which
takes its name from elektron, the Greek
word for amber.
Pliuy arrived much nearer the truth
than any of his predecessors when be al
legged it to be resinous juice oozins
from old pines and tirs and discharged
into the sea, where, taking lodgment, it
was gradually hardened by the influence
of heat or cold or the action of the sun.
The origin of amber has also been mat
ter of dispute among naturalists, some
describing it as an animal substance re-
sembling beeswax secreted by an ant in
habiting pine forests, Others maintaining
it to be fossil mineral of antediluvian
origin: but, according to the recent re-
searches of Goppert. amber is nothing
more than indurated resin derived from
various trees of the gum family, which
resin is found in q similar condition in
all zones, because its usual original de-
positories, namely, beds of brown coal,
have been formed almost every where
under similar circumstances.
