AMBER, CRYSTAL, PEARLS. SOME INTERESTING PACTS ABOUT , THREE CURIOUS SUBSTANCES. Insects Encased In Amber—A Re markable Discovery of Crystal— How C&lnamen Produce Pearls. •'Amber is a curious stuff," said a col lector cf curios the other day."lt is oc'.y comparatively recently that its na ture has been known, and even at this day very few people seem to have any notion as to what it is in reality. The ancients regarded it as altogether myste rious and even magical. They found that it was rendered electrical by friction so as to attract light substances, and our word 'electricity' comes from.the Greek name for amber, which was 'electron.' A favorite puzzle with them was how the insects so frequently found in amber came to be so situated. I have myself seen a chunk of very transparent amber in which a small lizzard with five legs was encased, looking as if it might have been alive yesterday, though, doubtless, it had been dead for thousands of years. The mystery regarding this sort of pheuomenon is easily enough explained when it is un derstood that amber is actually the fos sil gum of an extinct kind of cone-bear ing treo. In the process ol hardening it imprisoned the flies and other creatures preserved in the chunks of it that are found to-day. It is discovered plenti fully by digging in certain parts of the great plains of North Germany, where the strange tree once flourished. It is also found in considerable quantities along *.he shores of the Baltic, in the yellow sand stone. At Palmicken, in East Prussia, it is dug in regular mines; elsewhere it is picked from cliffs, and a good deal of it is gathered in the shape of nodules cast up by the waves. The : finest specimen of amber in Europe is a cup made of that material now at the Brighton Museum, England. It was found at Hove some years ago, together with weapons and utensils of stone and bronze, so it is evidently very ancient, indeed. In the fourteenth century, and before amber was made into knives and forks with one prong, which were used by priuces and church dignitaries, it | was more valuable than gold then. Now ; it is worth from $2 to SSO a pound, ac cording to its quality. Tho most im portant use made of it is for meerschaum snd other pipes. Meerschaum, by the way, is a material dug out of the earth in Turkey; it comes in boxes holding fifty pounds and valued at from S2O to S3OO. Thei dust and chips obtained from it in the process of manufacture are worked in pipes, this material being called 'imitation meerschaum.' Amber dust is melted, and the product is what is sold as 'amberine.' " "What a very beautiful sphere of crystal this is!" said the newspaper man, taking in his hand a cool globe that looked like a huge dewdrop, which the collector handed him for examination. "Yes, that is a pretty specimen. I suppose jou are aware of the theory en tertained by the ancients regarding such rock crystal. They thought it was ac tually ice frozen to greatdensity by dura tion of time, congealed beyond liquida tion. 'Krystallos' in Greek means 'ice.' The famous writer on natural philosophy, Pliny, who wrote more facts that were not true than ever auy man collected to gether before or since, says the crystal is undoubtedly water frozen by cold so in tense that nothing can melt it again. Roman ladies of that time were accus tomed to carry such spheres as this one in their hands during hot weather for coolness. It was the thing, also, to have the material worked into wine jugs and other vessels. Nero had two drinking cups of crystal worth S3OOO each, and a crystal ladle also; but when he learned that he had lost his kingdom lie broke them, lest they fall into the hands cf any one else. A crystal lens was employed in Rome to kindle the sacred vestal fire. Great care was taken not to put the crys tal ware in a warm place for fear that it would melt. The most remarkable dis covery of crystal on record was made in 1867 above the Tiefen glacier by a party of tourists, a single cave in the granite yielding 1000 crystals of from fifty to 100 pounds weight." "And what is this?" "That," replied the collector, "is a diminutive Chinese god, covered with a coat of pearl by a real pearl oyster. On such parts of the coast of the Flowery Kingdom as produce pearl oysters a reg ular business is often made of manufac turing pearls articficially by introducing into the shells of the live oysters foreign objects of various kinds. You doubtless know that the pearl is a morbid symptom in the bivalve. A grain of sand or some such substance getting into the oyster produces irritation, and the animal pro tects itself by covering the objectionable particle with coating after coating of its own pearly secretion. The interruption of light by the successive coats of which the pearl is formed in this way gives it its beautiful lustre. Taking advantage of this habit of the pearl oyster the in genious Chinaman pries it gently open and puts in whatever he likes, maybe a little figure of a god like this. The oys ter goes to work and covers it with pearl, until after a few months the idol is a pearl idol. It is worth mentioning in cidentally that sharks are by no means such a terror to pearl divers as is com monly supposed. It is true that now and then a diver does get gobbled, but for every such human victim hundreds of sharks are killed by the divers. In a great majority of instances the diver proves much more than a match for the ■harks, at home as he is in the water, and armed with a long, keen knife for strik ing the fish behind the pectoral fin in the fatal spot. The diver is perfectly safe while on the bottom gathering oysters, because the man-eating sharkß are not ground feeders and they will not touch him there. It is when he is rising to the surface with his catch, out of breath after two minutes spent below, that he is apt to find a fish perhaps thirty-five feet in length looming overhead like a gigan tic shadow, waiting to take him in at a felt*. - This is unpleasant, but it is the ■hark that gets the worst of it usually. The first thing that the diver tries to do is to get to the surface for a breath of air, then he gets under again and manoeu vres until he gets the fish afoul. Pearl divers in the Torres Straits are not one twentieth part so much afraid of the tiger sharks which are swarming there as of the giant mollusk at the bottom, six feet or more across its shell, which lies with extended jaws, as if waiting for the unfortunate fisherman to drop into them. The victim, dropping out of Ms boat into the depths with a heavy stone attached to his feet, brings his leg Into contact with the mantle of the huge mollusk, which closes upon the limb with one tremendous bite. Only one thing remains then for tho diver to do, namely, amputate the limb with his own knife, because the mighty bivalve's jaws are clasped together with a tenacity that would take several horse power to loosen, and it is anchored to the bottom with a cable of its own three times as strong as the best inch rope."— Wathinglon Star. WISE WORDS. If you are a good man, what arc you good for? Be not simply good, but good for something. When man chooses for himself, ho chooses wrong. Toy pistols kill more people than sixty four pounders. A broken word is something that can not be mended. Don't scold the world until you know your own heart. If happiness is your object in this life, don't try to get rich. If you haven't much, you can doublo it by being thankful. Life is not worth living, unless you live for somebody else. No man's oonduct can be right whoso convictions are wrong. The only thing you can bo sure of suc cess in, is in doing good. Money lost can be recovered, but an hour lost is gone forever. It is human nature to want the garden somebody else has made. No one can lovo anything good with out being made better by it. A really good man never wants to climb a tree to be looked at. Thousands of people fall because they are afraid to make a beginning. The quickest way to become rich is to learn to be contented in poverty. No man really knows auything until he knows it well enough to tell it. To have what wo want is riches, but to be able to do without is power. A rotten post will tell you the truth about itself the minute you shake it. Don't have much to say about yourself if you want to keep clear of hypocrisy. Example is more contagious than smallpox, and there is no way of vaccin ating against it. People who never think of anybody but themselves are always little, no mat ter how big they feel. Let your light shine in your own home, and don't be afraid that it will become too bright. Don't be turning it down all the time, as some people do their gas. —lndianapolis (Ind.) Ji/un's Horn. The Secret of Shooting on the Wing. "We arc making the best firearms to be found iu the world in this'country to day," writes Captain Bogardus in tho Philadelphia Times. "Americans on tho whole are the best shots. In the English army there arc many good shots at long range, but I fail to see the sense of lying on one's back, resting tho gun on tho toes and blazing away at a target 1,000 yards away. The Germans shoot off hand at 200 or 400 yards distance, which I think is much better. I advise tho American militia to adopt that style, be cause it will be found more useful in the field in actual warfare. "It is a well-known fact that one-half the shots made in the field arc at birds which fly across the sportsman or go quartering off from him, and most of tho misses that occur are owing to the failure of the shooter to hold forward enough so that the centre of the charge will be upon the bird when the shot reaches him. The centre of the flight of shot should reach the line of his flight just where he will be when the line of the shot intersects his line of flight, not where he was when the aim was made. At a fast flying crossing pigeon I hold from eight to ten inches ahead; at a quartering bird from three to four inches. At a bird going straight away close to the ground 1 hold right on; if rising I shoot high. At aD incoming bird I shoot right at the head and rarely fail to kill." The Pearls of Bahrein. The pearl fishery is the great occupa tion of the Bahreinee. The pearls of their seas are celebrated for their firm ness, and do not peal. They are com monly reported to lose one per cent, an nually for fifty years in color and water, but after that they remain the same. They have seven skins, whereas the Cin galese pearls have only six. The mer-' chants generally buy them wholesale by the old Portuguese weight of the chao. They divide them into different sizes with sieves and sell them in India, so that, as is usually the case with special ties, it is impossible to buy a good peart in Bahrein.— Cornhill Magazine. A Palace of Beer Kegs. One cf the biggest features of the World's Fair in Chicago will be furnished by Milwaukee, Wis., provided tho plans now being talked of are carried out. II will be a beor palace, modeled some what after the corn palace of Sioux City and the ice palace of St. Paul. The imposing structure will be built entirely of beer kegs, casks, bottles and other appurtenances of the beer indus try. The plan is to have all the Mil waukee brewers contribute to the affair, Inside thi* immense structure then will be a number of interesting exhibits. —Ale is. JVA Journal. SELECT SIFTINGS.

The most colossal swindles that are perpetrated on the confiding New York public are in old furniture. More old furniture, so-called is sold here in a year than the past produced in a century. Chairs, tables, sideboards, desks, beds, settees, fireplaces—everything, in fact, that is salable, is made right on the spot, in a west-side factory, for ono houso alone, which supplies all the trade. You can order anything in the way of old furniture you like from this house. If they do not happen to have it they say to you? "Leave your orders and we will have our agents pick it up for you," and almost before you are out of the store the order to manufacture tho piece you want is over at the factory. Belgium used to be the great source of production for fraudulent old furniture, but the house in question eventually saw its way clear to making its stock at home. It imported the best Belgian and French wood-carvers and designers it could secure. It purchased genuine old pieces to be used as models, and photo graphs, engravings and drawings of old furniture in European museums. Its work is beautiful and worth money, though not, of course, the three or four hundred per cent, profit it sticks upon it on account of its alleged antiquity, of which, if you demand it, it will furnish a certificate. One part of its factory is devoted to tho production of counterfeit "Grandfather's clocks" alone, of which it sells hundreds every year.— Neu> York News. Punished for Eating With Ladies. Some of the high case Hindus of Bom bay have got themselves into trouble by attending a social dinner with two la dies, one of whom was Dr. Emma Ry der and tho other the well-known Pun dita Ramabia, who will be remembered as a recent visitor to this country. The priests have brought these offending gen tlemen to trial and pronounced sentence against them. For eating a simple meal with ladies in the open day, these pol luted Hindus must "change their sacred ihread," go through a process of purga tion, "bathe in some sacred tank oi river," and do othor ridiculous and in convenient things.— Philadelphia Frtn. iJtoot'a Remarkable Trip for Water. A »tory of one of the most interesting freaks of vegetable life is told by Eli wood Cooper, of Santa Barbara. As coming from him tho story cannot be anything but strictly in accordance with the facts. Through Mr. Cooper's garden there ran, some years ago, a sewer made of redwood timber. This sewer was again cased by an outside sewer. Across the sewer there was built a brick wall many feet high, and in such a way that it was pierced by the inner sewer, which it enclosed tightly, while the outside sewer ended abruptly against the wall. The outside sewer casing had in course of time decayed, and a eucalyptus tree standing some sixty feet away had taken advantage ol this and sent one of its roots to the coveted spot in as direct a line as possible. Here the root entered the out- and followed its course as far as it could. At last it came to the wall which shut off its course, and it could go no further, the inside sewer being per fectly tight. But on the other side of the wall the sewer and its double casing continued, and this eucalyptus tree evidently knew how to get there. Some three feet high in the brick wall there was a little hole an inch'or two in diameter, and this the eucalyptus tree was aware of, as its big root began to climb the dry wall and face the sun and wind until it found the hole, through which it descended on the other side and entered the sewer again, and followed it along as formerly. How did the tree know of the hole in the wall? llow did it know that the sewer was on the other side? Did it smell, and if it did, how could it direct the root togo and find the place with such precision? The roots of any plant grow always and unerringly in the direction of its food just as the eucalyptus tree did.— San Diego Union. An Aztec Festival. One of the most novei celebrr.uons ever held on the American continent took place in the City of Mexico tho other day. It was the celebration of the 3G9th anni versary of the torture of Cuauhtemoc,the last Emperor of the race, by Cortez, for the purpose of making him divulge the location of the treasure supposed to have been buried by Montezuma. The celebration took place on the Plaza dc la Reforma, where there had been erected two Aztec pavilions. Three bat talions of infantry formed in double line, through which President Diaz and his Cabinet passed to the Aztec temple, where the Governor of the Federal dis trict, the city council, military men and others, received him. Addresses were delivered in the Aztec language and poems were read. Indians for miles around cainc bearing feather worked standards and attired in costumes such as were worn previous to the fall of the Aztec Empire. There were native bands by scores, and it was estimated that, including tho military bands, there were at least four hundred musicians present. After President Diaz placed a wreath on the statue of the Emperor tho Indians j nearly buried the bane with flowers ar ranged in un artistic manner. Open air dances were given, Indian music being furnished by the native bands.— San Francisco Chronicle. Chloroforming a Hull. The Buenos Ayres Standard notices what it calls an extraordinary veterinary operation which it says is perhaps one of the most, if not the most, successful veterinary operatiou of modern surgery, on un imported bull, the property of the tnistees of the late Signor Corti, which was purchased last year for the sum of SSOOO in gold. The statement is as follows: "For some time past a large growth has been forming on the throat of this animal, and yesterday Mr. Mit chell decided to remove the obstruction which endangered the bull's life, and most successfully removed a tumor of twenty-four ounces weight, sections oi which he has forwarded to a specialist for microscopical examination. This is, perhaps, the only case on record of a bull being chloroformed, it taking as much as ten ounces chloroform and six ounces of ether before he was under the influ- QMI." to the removal of the tumor it is one of the simplest of veterinary opera tions. As to chloroforming HU animal it has long been practiced in the United Stutes in connection with operations, but also in Chicago in the vivisection oi animals to eliminate pain.— Farm, Field antl Stockman. • Illinois has more miles of railway than lowa.
