Diary of Father Time

Although amber Il now applied to
few useful purposes among western
nations beyond forming the mouth
pieces for tobacco-pipss and cigar
holders, al one time It was highly
priced. especially by the Greeks and
Romans. In such repute was amber
held In Rome IN the time OF Pllny
that he sarcasucally remarks: "The
price OF small figure In IT, however
diminunve. exceeds that Of living.
healthy slave" During the reign OF
Nero. an expedition was sent from
Rome to explore the amber producing
country along the Baltic coast, and
so successful was the party that a
present OF $4,000 pounds OF amber
was brought back To the emperor.
The Romans used It TO a great extent
In producing limitations OF precious
stones by. artificial staining.
Thalss, OF Militus. $500 years ago,
noticed THAI amber. when rubbed, at
traoted light bodies. and that remote
and simple observation Is the tounda-
tion OF the modern science OF cleo

1T must Ice remembered that the
Babylonians regarded this mortal life

fortunate, beyond the grave. They also
supposed the predluvian kings to have
enjoyed lives of incredible length. To
the Babylunians and the Hebrews those
