- WHERE AMBER y y

The Greek name for it was electron,
which is the origin of our word cleo
tricity. At the time Of its formation
great changes took place along the
Baltic coast and immense pine for
ests were sunk.
The gum or resin Of these trees was
undoubtedly very soft when given of,
for in many exhibits whole and por-
tions Of bodies of insects are found,
including ants, spiders, centipedes,
etc, some of which are now extinct.
For the last 200 years amber has
been mined, but formerly it was gath
cred along the shores, having been
washed there by the waves.
Masses Of it are also cast ashore By
the heavy storms of autumn. The
pieces vary in weight from a few
ounces to sometimes fifteen pounds.
In the Royal Museum in Berlin
there is a mass weighing nearly eigh-
teen pounds.

The little boy Kept shooting at

other boys came and threw stones,
and Jimmie jumped and lodged
from branch to branch, but It wasn't
any fun any more.
Pretty soon a car came In across
the road and a lot OF students got
out. Some of them saw the crowd
of boys across the road and came
over to see what was the matter.
Jimmie saw them, too, and began
to chatter at the top OF his voice.
When they came nearer he saw that
one Of them was his student He
said:
Hello, boys, what's the matter?
Then he looked up in the tree and
saw Jimmie.
why, it's James he said. Here
you young rascals, get out OF here

He said it so threateningly that
the bad boys were scared and start

JIMMIE SQUIRREL lived on
beautiful old campus with lots
0 OF nice feathery elms that
stretched out long, droopy branches
to Jump across. He was funny
little snubby nosed fellow, and the
first tine he tried TO beg nuts from
a student, as his mother had taught
him. he nearly fell over on his little
snub nose. The student laughed
and said:
We'll. James" but Jimmie was so
embarrassed that he frisked around
his fuzzy gray tail and jumped tor
the lowest hanging bough.
The student stopped laughing and
tried to coax him down with nuts,
but he wouldn't come until the stu
dent had gone away. Then he slid
down the trunk, with his beady little
black eyes on the walk, and snatched
I'D a nut in his paw. 1t was a pea
nut. and nice and soft to crack and
eat
The student tried to get Jimmy

Jimmy would only cock bright eye
and come a little nearer, with his tail
balanced, ready to flick of at

Jimmie had always wanted to
play in a big elm just across the

him never to go there, that only the

~ ONE curious facts about amber
- No doubt many persons would
like to know where the amber
necklace and pipe-stem come from.
II is the fossilzed resin OF some
species Of pine trees which grew in
great abundance along the Baltic
coast, probably about two million years
ago.
Amber mining is one Of the indus
tries seriously affected by the present
European war, as the most extensive
deposits lie along the shore of the
Baltic Sea.
Lesser quantities have also been
found in other parts Of the world
namely. in China. France, along the
Adriatic shores, in Poland, and also
in this country.
A slab of amber about twenty inches
long. six wide and an inch thick was
found near Jacksonville, \. j.

why are you getting smaller and

At that the Moon was so over
cople he could hardly speak at all
for several minutes.
AT last he said in a choked voice:
It's bad enough to work SO hard
shining that one gets thinner and
thinner every night, but when it
comes to having people think one
is sucked away like an ordinary
Candy, it's too much" And with
that he sank behind the clouds and
entirely disappeared.
"Oh, dear" said the Littlest Pep
permint Lozenge in distress, Il did
not mean to hurt his feelings. How
very sensitive he is"
NOT MUCH Fun TO PLAY WITH.
Never mind" said the Popcorn
Giant consolingly, "he gets that way
when he's quite tired out shining.
But then he goes away for a rest,
and when he comes back he begins
growing and growing until he's big
and jolly once more. But l don't
think, Little PEPPERMINT Lozenge,
that he'd ever be much fun to play
with"
No" said the Littlest Peppermint
Lozenge, thoughtfully, Il guess
mother was right. l guess that old
Moon is too proud and stiff for me.
Well let him keep on shining, won't
we, Popcorn Giant, and we'll go
back to my house and tell mother
where we've been. and then well
have a good play"
And after that the Littlest Pep

happy, and never cried for the

~ NE night the youngest Pep
pernint Lozenge was al
lowed to stay up late for a
party, and so it happened that ne
saw the Moon for the first time.
"Oh. look at the Peppermint
Lozenge up in the sky" he ex-
claimed. q want it to come down
end play with me"
And TO be sure, the Moon did
look like Peppermint Lozenge' 1t
was so round and white
But his mother laughed. That's
not a Peppermint Lozenge; that's
the Moon. He can't come down and
play with you, and you wouldn't like
him if he did"
But the Littlest Peppermint Loz-
enge was not sure OF that. He con-
tinued to think that the Moon was
a Candy Moon set up in the dark
blue sky, and he fret;ed and fretted
because he could not have it to play
with. On this account his mother
put him to bed earlier every night,
so he wouldn't see the Moon.
But one night the Littlest Pep
permint Lozenge woke up in the
middle OF the night, and the first
thing he did was to run to the win
dow to see if the Moon was still
there.
PART OF THE MOON Is GONE.
Yes, there it was, but how differ
ent it looked. The last time he saw
it it had been round and full, but
row it was a funny shape and part
Of it seemed to have gone. AS the
Littlest Peppermint Lozenge looked
at it a dreadful thought occurred TO
him.
"Oh. mother" he cried, running
into her room, get up, quickl Some

mother sleepily, and don't worry
any more about that old Moon, or
l shall have to punish you
The Littlest Peppermint Lozenge
went back to bed. but he dreamed
about the Moon ell night. In the
morning, without telling any one,
which was very naughty OF him, he
ran away to see his friend, the Pop
corn Giant. and ask him to take him
TO see the Moon.

THE MYSTIC STREAM.

1t one time seemed to us that we were
near
A mystic stream with messy banks
and flowers,
With summer sunshine falling over all,
We plucked the fragrant bloom IN
idle hours.
The stream. so narrow, seemed that
we cold step
Or wade across, unto the other side.
Nor need the bridge that spanned the
silVery wave,
That meath the vines and foliage
semed to hide.
We wander on and on, the days go by.
We tread the very margin Of the
tide
Then faces we have known we see no
more,
The stream is crossed were on the
other side.
We turn about in haste; we would so
back
To youth, to all life held so bright,
so gay
But now a raging torrent rushing on
We see thro' mist-the bridge is
swept away.

A PERFECT DAY
Carrie Jacobs Bond)

When you come to the end of perfect day
And you sit alone with your thought
While the chimes ring out with a carol gay
For the joy that the day has brought,
DO you think what the end of a perfect day
Can mean to tired heart
When the sun goes down with "a flaming
ray
And the dear friends have to part?

Well, this is the end of perfect day,
Near the end of journey, too;
But it leaves a thought that is big and

With wish that is kind and true.
For mem 'ry has painted this perfect day
With coors that never fade
And we find at the end of perfect day,
The soul of a friend we We made.
