LONG IMBEDDED IN AMBER
Dragon Fly, Preserved for Centuries,
10 Most Remarkable Natural
Curiosity.

Flies In amber are not uncommon,
but dragon fly. almost perfect, IL
unique. The piece of amber with its
large insect imperishably imprisoned
was presented few weeks ago to an
English statesman by a rich Russian
merchant
The piece is remarkable for its size
and the purity of its transparent vel
low. but more especially for this In
sect It contains. This particular
dragon fly fitted about over the
marshes of what geologists cali the
tertiary period. tens or hundreds of
thousands OF years ago. and was en-
quilted by the resin that flowed from a
pine tree. This resin, In the course
Of ages. turned to the stone that we
now call amber. Several thousand
species Of fossil insects have been
found in amber but this is one of the
finest ever seen.

: horse up 4 Tree.

Visitors to Ferry Bar We're much
surprised yesterday morning to see a
horse up among the branches of a
tree. The animal had got in its un-
comfortable position by falling ten
feet from a bank that overtopped the
tree. The tree probably saved the
horses life.
Blocks and fall were fastened to a
tree stump on top of the hill and
leather belts were wrapped about the
horse. When the work of hitching
the belts was completed II was found
that the animal could not be rescued
until several of the limbs of the tree
were cut on. This took considerable
time. during which the horse rested
and watched the work of the score or
more of men who were trying to re-
lease him. With the removal of the
last limb the horse was slowly drawn
to the top of the bank from which he
had fallen. A close examination re-
vealed that outside of few
scratches he was unhurt.-Baltimore
