A curiou. Kind or Fraud.

A rogue with the unmanageable name Of Shunkernath Wishwumber- natii has been convicted in Bombay and sentenced by NIT. Justice Startling to five years penal servitude for a curious sort of fraud. It seems that he had, by certain skillfnl feats of jugglery, to the accompaniment of cabalistic acts and utterances, per suaded a man named HurTibux that be was able to make duplicates of currency notes to any extent.
 Hurribux, being one afternoon in- trusted by the cashier of his masters firm with 10000 rupees in notes to carry to another firm, bethought him of this magician, and accom- panied by Brahman and another he repaired to the house where he had seen the miracle performed. Here, as before, numerous mystic ceremonies were gone through, end ing in the handing over to Hurribux and his companion of certain pieces of paper, which they were to expose to the sun. Nothing important however, came of this, but the wiz ard, having treasured his visitors, re- tired into a room to make it all right. This, as the sequel showed, meant making off by a back door with the rupee es.-London Daily News.

BEAUTIFUL AMBER.

ts Original Form ation, Process Of Evoiu-
 ton and Preservative Qualities
 In many museums may be seen in she most perfect state of preserva- ton in amber fossilized remains of plants and animals The science of Egypt in it's highest ,lOpment did not succeed in discove z a method of embalming so perfect as the sim pie process taking place in nature A tree exudes a gummy. resinous matter in a liquid state Aainsect accident ly alights in it and is caught. The emulation continues and envelopes if completely, preserving the most min ute details of its structure. In the course of tme the resin becomes fossil and is known as amber. The history of fossil insects is largely in debted to the fly in amber, and to the preserving properties of amber we owe likewise our knowledge of some of tue moro minute details of ancient plant structure.
 The coasts of the Baltic are and have been from the days of Phoai clan traders the great source of the amber of commerce. It occurs in rolled fragments in strata known to geologists as oligoceno These are tertiary rocks of a date a little more recent than those of the London basin and equivalent to the younger tertiary series of the isle of Wight. The fragments of fossil resin were washed down by the rivers from the pine forests of the district along with sediments and vegetable debris. In them are found most perfectly pre- served remains of the most delicate tissues of the vegetation of the peri od, as well as of insect life. Frag- ments of twigs. leaves. buds and flowers with sepals, petals, stamens and pistil still in place occur Pollen grains have likewise been found. A recent genus, deutzia, has been re cognizsd by it's characteristic sta mems. The valves of the anthers of cinnaInomum are seen in others. In one specimen the pendant catkin of a species of oak is seen as distinct ly through the clear amber as if it were a fresh flower.
 And besides the insect and plant remains 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 wood becker and squirrel have been reeog- nized in the Baltic amber. r.-Gentle- mans Magazine.

NIodern n.a nftl,n s,ars-

The means resorted to in this mod ern age by some business houses to advertise their wares becomes at times almost farcical. For instance, a theatrical company recently play ing in the city is carrying a particu. lar make of safe as part of its out it. The safe is advertised on the programme as conspicuously as the players names themselves and in a special act isshown on the stage with the makers name in large letters across the door. It plays no part whatever in the act, except that at one period of the performance the actor makes an agonized stride in it's direction, but it is never referred to It speaks for itself and speaksloudly. In fact, when the rather tame scene is concluded, the conviction is forced apon the spectator that the act is specially arranged to advertise the safe. Buffalo Express.

Child, on to be Insured.

A new enterprise has been started
 here in the shape of Childrens
 Aid Association of Arizona. Its ob- ject is to grant life insurance to children between the ages of five and twentv-one years. The rates will be low and so arranged that children may be induced to save at least a part of their spending money by procuring policies upon their lives. On attaining majority those insured will be paid the amount of their policies in full, and thus have something with which to begin the battle of life. As teaching habits of prudent thrift and economy, the scheme of the society is we'll worth looking into closely by ali our young People.-Gazette.

Anelent sfexioo.

Everywhere about the valleys of New Mexico, invariably upon emi- nences, and usually upon high flat topped mesas or table hills. are the ruins of houses of the aEcient semi civilized Indian population that lived here and titled the soil before the coming of the Spaniards-four cen turies ago.
 The numbers of this old population can be only vaguely inferred by the numerous cobblestone foundations of their houses, still well defined above the surface of the ground, and by the debris of the fallen walls which con stitute hillocks, grassgrown and in- termixed with occasional old stone utensils and countless fragments of pottery.
 This pottery when turned up by the spade is found to be handsome and varied in color and as fresh of tint as it could have been when the village was destroyed or abandoned and every tradition of its existence lost in prehistoric past Philadelphia Times
