EN- BALMED IN Am BER.
Natures Prcservntive Better Than
That of the Egyptians.

In many museums may be seen, in
the most perfect state of preservation
In amber, fossilized remains Of plants
and animals. The science of Egypt in
its highest development did not sue
coed in discovering a method of en-
balming so perfect as the simple proc
ess taking place in nature. A tree ex-
udes a gummy, resinOus matter In a
liquid state. An insect accidentally
lights in it and is caught. The exuda-
ton continues and envelopes it COM
pletcly, preserving the most minute de-
tails Of its structure. In the course Of
time the resin becomes a fossil and is
known as amber. The history of fossil
insects is largely indebted TO the fly
in amber. And to the preserving prop
critics of amber we owe, likewise. II
knowledge of some of the more minute
details Of ancient plant structure.
The coasts of the Baltic are. and have
been from the days of the Phoenician
traders, the great source of the amber
of commerce. 1t occurs in rolled frag-
mcnts, III strata known to biologists
rs oligoeene. These are tertiary rocks
of a date Il little more recent than those
of the London basin, and equivalent to
the young tertiary series of the Isle of
Wight. The fragments of fossil resin
were washed down by the rivers from
the pine forests Of the districts along
with sediments of vegetable debris. In
them are found most perfectly pre-
served remains Of the most delicate It's
sue of the vegetation OF the period
as well as Of insect life. Fragments
OF twigs, leaves. buds and flowers, with
scpals. petals. stamens and pistil still
in place, occur. Pollen grains have like
wise been found. A recent genus. deut-
zia. has been recognized by its charac-
teristic stamens; the valves of the an
theirs of cinnamomum are seen in 9TH
ers. In one specimen. the pendant
catkin of a species of oak is seen as
distinctly through the clear amber as
IL 1t were n fresh flower.
And besides the insect and plant re-
mains thus sealed UP In amber, stray
relics OF the higher fauna Of the forest
have also been met with. Fragments
OF hair and feathers have been caught
In the sticky resin and preserved.
Among others a wo0dpecker and souri,
rel have been recognized In the Baltic
amber.-Gentleman's Magazine.
