ABOUT AMBER.
Interesting Pacts Concerning This
Beautiful and Precious Material.
From liaipcr's Bazaar.
Although amber is not a precious
stone, or anything of the sort, it is,
nevertheless, a precious material, one
full of picturesque Interest and very
beautiful to boot. Most of tho am
ber of the world has been found
thrown up on the shores of tho Baltic
sea, and is supposed to be the resldlum
of an old and huge forest of a period
before the civilization of the world
began. A little Is found In this coun
try, a little In England, a little in
tho far orient; a little of It is mined,
nnd there the fossil trees, whoso gum
it was, are still In evidence In the
strata with the gum exuding from
them; but the most of the world's am
ber comes from the Prussian coast.
Originally the appropriation of any
Piece of amber found along the shore
was punished with death. At present
the region Is let out to contractors, and
tho coast Is patrolled for trespasser.'.
Quantities of the precious substance
are thrown on the beach after eivat
storms, and In winter the amber Ush
ers break through tho ice and gather
it by hauling up the sea wwd into
which it has become Imbedded, or go
out Into deep water and spear up the
masses of sea weed that carry It.
The great entrepot or the sale of
amber Is In Vienna, where It Is cut
nnd carved into faceted beads and
fanciful shapes. This is very delicate
work, owing to tho brittle nature of
the article, and requires an unusual
skill and artistry. Sometimes an In
sect Is found sealed Into tho gum. th"
chief interest of which Is that It is an
extinct insect of a long vanished past.
When any modern insect Is found In
what purports to be amber. It Is know n
not to be amber, but merely gum
copal. Amber can be told from copal
by the fact that the flume of burning
copal Is steady, while that of amber
snaps and sparkles. It Is distinguished
from Its Imitation in glass by biting it,
the glass resisting the teeth stoutly,
the amber seeming to yield to the bite.
True amber, mot cover, is electrical; In
deed, electricity takes Its nnme from
the old Greek name for amber, and
nono of Its imitations has any power
of that nature. The best amber will
attract to Itself various articles with
great celerity; if warmed by rubbing,
the second quality will attract with
much less force; and with every less
fineness of grade, resulting usually
from melting and lemeltlng, tho power
diminishes, till after the fourth quality
has been reached there Is no electrical
power left at all.
When the best limber is carved the
morsels left from the caning are molt
ed, molded and then recut, and thu
result Is considered of the second qual
ity. This process can be repeated four
or five times, but each tlmo the grade
Is of less valuo than that of the tlmo
before.
The great purchasers of amber are
among tho Mohammedans; und win
derful specimens aro to be found in
tho Turkish markets. The women aro
Very fond of It, both for its color and
its fragrance, to Illumine their toilets,
and the men use it for mouthpieces to
their pipes; ns tho friendly pipe Is
passed from mouth to mouth, and wip
fng it would bo a great solecism, It is
mado of amber, which Is supposed by
the Turks to resist Infection. We will
see mothers even In this enlightened
countrj who secure a string of amber
beads mound their child's throat with
n no wiser purpose nnd belief.
While this brilliant und beautiful
eubstnnco has no power of separating
nnd refracting rays of Ilsht as a crys
tal has, It has tho power of holding tho
rays in Itsolf till It looks like solidified
sunshine. There Is a soft radiance,
like that of yellow harvest moons, In

"She lilts her hands to bless you."
Grevllle sighed again.
"It Is your mother."
"Ah, poor thing!" said Grevllle. "I
