AMBEE. This fossil substance is; supposed io.be the product of extinct coniferse, "4 It resembles the rosins and,is sometimes found on fossil wood and inriiosing the cones and leaves 0/ the tree called by Goppert Pinites Succintfer. Insects which inhabited-the ancient 1 orests have beeen found embalmed in it, The elec tric properties of amber are well known. The Greeks called it “elektron” fromwhich is derived the word “ electricity.!?: Amber is brittle and tasteless; it is a little heavier than water, generally of -p or light yellow color, and often transparent. The exact constituents of ambfer bafe not yet been ascertained. It is a mixture'of resins, que cinnic acid, and a yolatile oil cbntainiiig sev eral hydrocarbons.. •. After a treatment w.ith ether, the insoluble pact is said to have the same compositionas catnphor. Amber may be dissolved by^||fire ! ijjflfcaliB and by sulphur ic acid. Wheriit isßubjected to fuming ni tric acid “ artificial musk” is formed. The largest specimen of amber known weighs 18 lb. and is deposited in the Royal Cabinet of iSerlin. Amber is found in various parts of the world, but the chief supply is now. from Nurth-eastpnni Prussia* on <tb£ qqp&ripfi the Baltic Sea, where it is washed out of the bluffs, and is generally found after a-storrn Prof. G. Za'ddach of the University of Kiin ingsberg has described in The Quarterly Journal of Science the geological formation of the amber region called Samland, lying north-west of Koningsberg, from which we gather the following information : “ The blue earth ’’ or “ amber earth ” on the west, lies on the level of the sea, under deep beds., of a green sand of the-jteytiaiy, the stratum of amber-earth being only three' or four feet thick V'itetether places it rea’Ches a.thickness of eight feet. The amber occu pies ouly-a, narrow, pone in the whole form ation ; ih l this indeed it occurs abundantly, but is not equally .distributed. For each square fopt ot, the surface of fbe<bed— jthat is, one cubio fool of sand-—fbom one-half to one/poupd jpf ambpE. niay be. reckoned as about the average, - ThWpieces wetSf-' va rious sizes, those weighing as much as a half pound being soldom .larger lumps of' one or mbre f pounds are> ; ejftremely rare. Their surfaces are dull and worn, and their edges and angles are so mew Sal; Wu tid ed, but not to a "sufficient eAtenii £0 oWiferiate* the various forms which re -s ceived as the liquid resin of a tree, such aB pin si drops and plates, which were formed between the bark and the wood, or between yearly rings of growth of the stem. Fre quently, also,, fine impressions of the parts, of the plants which produced them can be distinguished on their surfaces. It follows! 1 .therefore, that the pieces of amber r wer©foi*' (some time, but not very long, rolled- about; by tho water previous to their deposition. With.the amber also oceprs fossil wo.od.,but gOTieralfy Oniy in' small i picces, wbieh were'' probably half-decayed when.'they were de posited. The complete system of a tree has never yet been found in the amber earth,and solid.pieces of a foot or m.o.r.e .in length are 1 very rare. Such pieces of wood as'still have amber attaclfed to of Special inter est, and thefe are even 'Sotoe s<> completely penetrated with the hmber-resin' that they appear to consist, not so much of wood-fibers as of amber-filaments. In the “am ber-earth ” and in the lower part of the' “ quick-sand ” just above it there also occur pie.tiCk of com pact clay and marl which contain numerous' fossils, the same as those which are found in the overlying ferruginous sandstone. The amber-earth bp no means lies in its original' bed—that Tb, not i,n the soil of the old forest in which the amber-pines grew ; the Whole deposit of the “ glauconitic sand'” is a. ma rine formation, and the amber was washed into it by the sea, in which crabs, sea-ur chins, and oysteics lived. Frdiu the habits of these animals, and from the form of the pieces of amber, it may be inferred that the deposition of the latter occurred not yery far from the shflreand from-tbe., condition of the amber, that its deposition took place in a proportionately’- short time, and that considerable stores of it must have been Col lected in neighboring localities. In the beds above and below the “ amber-earttei”only'a\ few isolated' pieces of amber occur.. When lashed r by the.

" THE PEESEEVATI’ok OF LEATHEE. A contributor l .of the Shoe and leather Re porter gives bo* rtrfe* fu a 6 lfe f fl inlts' in relation to the preservation of leather. The extreme heat to which most men and women expose boots and shoes during the,winter deprives leather, of its vitality* rendering it liable to b reak and era ck.

' . BHTTEE MAKING. In the New York butter market, the Orange epanty product holds the highest rank and commands extreme prices always.’ Its excelir-nce is, in some measure, to be at tributed to the superiority of the pasture lands of that Region over most, if not all. other sections of the state, but more parti cularly care and at tention bestowed upon"t,he manufacture of the butter and its preparation for market. The numerous spfihgi of soft and cool water gushing ‘from’the hills 'in Orange and con tiguous counties affording admirable sites for spring houses is a great and important aid, in the manufacture’ of butter—an ad vantage that the westerfi section pf ,the state is but par ially possessed of. - In the process of manufacturing it is presumed there is but little if .any difference between that pursued >p .Qrpnge epunty, and other auctions.; In hot weather, after the butter-is salted'arid worked'over, it is t.akdh.db; the spring ind ,'i ?. -• i f * T «.‘J i-./ ri . A L immersed in the water, where it remains dur ing the day, when it is worked and packed. For winter butter a small teaspoonful of pulverized saltpetre and a large table spoon ful of white sugar are added for twenty odd pounds of butter at the last working. As a general thing no coloring matter is used in factory butter. ’ The working is done on an inclined slab with beveled sides running down to the; lower end, and within four inches of each other, at which point a wooden lever,, fitted into a socket, is attached as a working instrument—performing the office of the butter ladle. The firkins for packing are of white oak, carefully and neatly inade and well soaked in cold water before being used. When filled they are headed upland strong brine poured into the top —a 'hole being inade for the purpose—filling np any empty’ places that may femaiii aTter packing. Thus prepared it is ready for market.— Rural New Yorker. - .. BOTS IN HOESES.

" All in excess, of this is injurious: The milk, 'cream, and the surroundings of the butter room should all be pure, as foul odors are certain to .impart a disagreeable flavor. Mr. King stated that he knew a inari to plant horiey-siickles and roses arounff the place where his ; butter was made, for the purpose of giving l 'it an agreeable flavor; This,was a pleasant, conceit, whatever the influence on the dairy-room may have' been.
