The Amber Industry.

The business Of obtaining amber
from the ocean has been for long
state monopoly in Prussia. The chief
center of the industry is In the prov
ince of eastern Prussia. The gathering
of the amber goes on throughout the
year. but 1t Is most profitable at the
time of the equinoctial storms. when
the winds and the waves throw it
ashore After a storm the fishermen
drag the beach. They deposit the
haul upon the strand, where the wom-
en- and children pick out the pieces OF
amber from among the seaweeds. The
pieces are assorted according to size,
color and form. The value Of piece
of amber Is enhanced when 1t bears
the impressions Of plant or animal
substances. The prices of the pieces
vary from about 13 cents to Is cents.
but may reach to 500 or more The
price per pound runs from about $1.25
to $3.50. A very large piece sometimes
attains the weight of sixteen or seven
teen ounces. The color is most CON-
monty the familiar yellow. but it may
be reddish brown or emerald green or
creamy color and some pieces are quite
white. The total yield is valued at
$1,500,000 year.-Harper's Weekly.

Tho BibIiomaniac,s Error.

There is famous story of man,
Don Vincente of Aragon, that Is told
by all writers upon the art of book
hunting. This Don Vincente is called
by Andrew Lang 1.-THE great pattern of
biblioclepts." To get the book be
coveted he killed its possessor and set
fire to his house so as to cover up his
crime. But the man was at last sus-
pected and the famous book found in
his possession to confirm the suspi-
cion. The case against him was ar
gued on the ground that there was but
one copy in the world Of the book found
In his possession, and its previous own
er was known to all. Don Vincente
had clever lawyer, who proved that
another copy did exist In the Louvre,
and since there were two, he argued.
there might also be more, and so Don
Vincente might have come honestly by
his. At this Don Vincente gave a
great cry and said to the alcalde: "Ah,
Senior Alcalde, my error was clumsy
indeed! My copy was not unique."-
Frederick A. King in Bookman.

Music In the Home,

We are all more or less aware of the
value, and indeed the necessity of fur
nishing books to all children and even
Of making it possible for them all to
see good pictures. We are apt, how
ever, to regard music as something
that we need provide only for the ex-
ceptional child. the child who shows
signs of being what we call musical"
This Is due partly to the fact that mu-
sic lessons are more expensive than
books, and that a ticket to a concert
costs about four times as much as a
ticket to q museum. Our mistake Is in
fancying that costly music lessons and
concerts are the only means Of furnish
ing musical instruction Of the best
kind to children Some Of the finest
music in the world is so simple that
any mother who plays the piano at all
can perform it for her children, and.
moreover, teach them to play 1t them
selves.-Home Progress.

Holv Wars by Moslems,

There has been no universal war by
Moslems on unbelievers since the
early days of Northumberland. 1t
has been supposed that only the ca
liph, an office now claimed by the sui
tans of Turkey, can order general
war or jihad. but as the Persians and
the Moors. who are Mohammedans. do
not acknowledge the spiritual authori-
ty of the Ottoman sultan and look to
their own rulers for their cue in such
case. it Is not at all likely that there
will ever again be jihad. Holy wars
have been proclaimed by the mahdis.
as was the case in the Sudan In 1882,
when Chinese" Gordon was murdered
at Khartum. but there has been no gen
eral war between the followers Of the
prophet and the infidel dogs since the
early times when Mohammed was
establishing his power.-Argonaut.

Eormosa.

Geologically speaking, Formosa is
divided into three longitudinal belts
The western belt is on the average
about twenty miles wide and is an al
luvial formation containing no mineral
deposits. The middle belt is of terti-
airy formation. This belt is about tif-
teen miles wide. broadening out in the
north to include the entire north coast,
and ranges in altitude from 200 to
$500 feet above sea level This strip
contains all the mineral deposits which
are at present productive. The eastern
belt includes about one-half of the is
land and consists of high mountain
ranges, reaching an altitude of 1900
feet The formation of these noun
tains is paleozoc limestone. granite
and crystalline schist Their mineral
resources are practically unknown

Graphite.

Chemically graphite is a very inter-
esing body and is known as one of
the allotropic notifications of carbon.
Carbon, like the magicians Of old, has
the power under proper conditions of
assuming various forms called allo-
tropic notifications without losing its
individuality. So while its properties
and appearance may have changed it
is still chemically carbon and nothing
but carbon. AS ordinarily met with in
the form of coke. coal and charcoal, 1t
is called amorphous carbon, as graphite
it is called graphite carbon, and in the
form of the diamond it is known as
crystalline carbon. Coal is therefore
very aptly termed BLACK diamonds"
since chemically it is identically the
same as the white diamond. though
some change which has taken place in
that infnitesimal particle called the
molecule has caused its value to be
rated in dollars per ton instead of dol
lars per carat-Exchange.

The WiIds of CHICAGO.

Foreign ignorance of America has
censed to be surprising. 1t has come
to be taken as a matter of course by
Americans, but every now and then
some amusing instance occurs to call
attention to 1t again. A young wo-
man recently returned from abroad
says that just before she sailed for
home she met a party of Englishmen
who were very polite and showed
great interest in her when they heard
she was from Chicago.
'Ah, yes" said one of them. 81

have some relatives over there. You
have to go to market in a cart 1t
must be great fun
The girl was puzzled for minute,
but soon found out that his relatives
lived on a ranch somewhere in the far
west, and then she had the greatest
difficulty In -persuading him that in
Chicago people did not go to market in
a cart. In fact. she says she doesn't
think he believes it yet-St- Louis

Music and the Hair

Though II per cent of ali musicians
are bald, it appears that this is the re-
suit of exposure to the wrong musical
vibrations. NJ. Henri de Parville. the
French physicist, is credited with the
theory that the well known action of
music on the nervous system affects
the nutrition of the bodily tissues and
thus has an influence on the hair. and
it is claimed that observations support
this view. The influence, however. l.
not always the same. All male p
lists have a wealth of hair. and il
found that playing the piano ami
lin have a specially beneficial effect.
as do also, in less degree. the violon-
cello, the harp and the double bass.
Players Of the flute and clarinet get
much less hirsute stimulation. their
locks showing very perceptible thin
ming by the age of fifty The harm
done is among players of brass instl
ments, and those who make much Ii
of the cornet and the horn advance
pidly toward badness, while players
of the trombone lose at least 60 per
cent of their hair in about five years.

Apple Rust.
Apple Husts
A French chemist has shown that Il

A French chemist has shown that the
apple contains an oxidizing ferment
which produces the brownish or red
dish color of cider. The manner In
which this substance produces oxida-
ton can readily be observed by any
one who cuts an apple open and leaves
it exposed for short time to the air.
The cut surfaces gradually turn red
as the oxygen of the air unites with
the juice-in word, the apple rusts.
Rusting of an apple may also be
brought about by simply bruising the
fruit without breaking the skin. Ev-
erybody knows that apples that have
fallen violently to the ground show
red or rusty spots underneath the
bruised rind. In this case the oxygen
is derived from the air contained in
the ducts or interstices among the It's
sues of the fruit, and it becomes active
through the breaking of the cells that
inclose the oxidizing ferment- If an
apple is cooked before its skin Is
broken its tissues do not oxidize when
exposed to the air. This is explained
on the supposition that the oxidizing
properties of the ferment are destroyed
by heat-Harper's.

How Deafness Comes.

Without using the scientific terms,
there are two kinds Of deafness that
creep on us gradually, the hardening
Of the eardrum and the running ear,
both conducive to less and less ability
to hear clearly. Many who are so at
f1icted attribute the ailment to catarrh-
al influence or increasing years and do
nothing to remedy what they deem in
durable. There is no science so back
ward as that which deals with diseases
of the ear. Aurists and ostologists
have made some curative progress in
octostosis, a process of bone formation
In which Justification takes place with
in the substance of the cartilage. Few
cures have been actually effected, and
a prominent medical authority states
that until the cause and cure Of rheu-
matism are determined deafness will
continue. The presence of uric acid in
the system is. according to this learned
man, the cause of deafness either swift
or progressive. Danish this blood alien
and the deaf will hear. It is advisable,
therefore, to watch out against the
twinges Of govt and the rheumatic
stiffening of the joints and muscles If
deafness is to be Observation-Disclosures

The Shane of the Skv

What is the apparent form Of the
vault of the sky? There is probably
no one to whose eyes it seems a true
hemisphere. with the zenith appearing
as distant as the horizon. At sea or
in fat country the seeming greater
distance of the horizon is best shown.
Professor ]. NJ. Pernter in a study Of
this subject reached the conclusion
that the form of the vault In vertical
section is that of the segment of a cir
Gle. the arc Of which subtends at the
center at an angle of the order Of 40
degrees. If the reader will draw such
a segment he may be surprised by the
amount of fattening which is thus
ascribed to the sky. From this optical
illusion many curious effects arise,
such as the seeming increased magni-
tude of the sun and moon when near
the horizon and the apparently oval
forms of halos and coronas seen at low
attitudes.
