AMBERcRIs-A VALUABLE FIND

Ii you come across any ambergris on
your next tripto the beach, don't ignore
the substance--it IS worth from $4 to SIS
an ounce, several times the valuesof pure
silver 1881 isss1i
Ambergris is q waxy substance used
as base for fine perfumes, and may be
found floating in the ocean. washed up on
the beach, or stored in the intestions of a
sperm whale.
According to Dr., F. G.. Walton Smith,
director of the University Of Miami Mar
inc Laboratory. the odds are slim against
your discovering true ambergris, but this
is how you can tell if you've found hunk
of the valuable substance:
Heat needle or piece of wire in gas
or candle flame for Is seconds and press
it to a depth of one-eighth inch into a
sample of what you hope is ambergris. I, ...
If it is genuine, you will see a, dark
brown or black resinous liquideappearing
to boil around the wire. Withdraw the wire
and touch the melted material with your
finger. If there are tacky, pitch-like strings
sticking to your skin, you've nearly hit
the Jackpot. sAs.s eaasae
When the melted strings have cooled,
they look like dark browil5or black enamel
--if it is ambergris that you have. Next
place the wire in the flame again. If you
have the real stuff, white fume will be
given off and the ambergris will burn
brightly. Blow out the flame, If you notice
an odor of burning rubber, you've got am.
bergris for certain.
