About Amber.

Amber is one of the strangest of nature's treasures (writes Peggy Webling in the Daily Chronicle.").

Greek philosophers commend- ed the virtues of amber, and the Romans prized it as a gem, Craftsmen of the Middle Ages loved to adorn their handiwork with amber of every shade of colour, The popular idea that it is always yellow is not the fact. for there is amber, which, is-al" most white, amber as dark as mahogany, amber as red as wide, umber as brown as cedar wood, and amber, which has been hid den in the tombs of Egypt, nearly as black as jet.

Although the finest amber comes from the shorea of the Baltie, it is found in all parts of the world, even far from" the ocean, Good specimens have been collected from our English coast, and there is a story told by an author of the 18th century that fb was once discovered, in London, "between Tyburn and Kensington gravel pits, and like- wise behind St. George's Hospital, near Hyde Park."

Flies in amber are very curious and interesting. Pope describes. the impression that they give the beholder.

"The things, we know, are neither rich nor rare," But wonder how the devil they

got there."

A couple of almost perfect specimens, cut. from the trees in Jan Indian forest, are before me as I write. The insects are often seen, by the loss of their legs and wings, to have struggled vainly to escape, but in these pretty pieces, smooth and gleaming, a tiny spider and a fly are hardly spoiled at all.
