IN AN MINE.
A Queer Industry in Which Hon
esty Is at a Premium. , ;
Valuable Deposits Displaced by l'ropitioaa
tiales antt Carried -Ysliorc by the
ares Some Iuterctli,jr
Particulars.
Deep down in the "blue earth" along
the shores of and beneath the treacher
ous breakers of the Baltic sea are found
in bits and .fragments cf fossilized wood
the traces of vast forests that in ages
lone past had covered nearly the entire
I coast line of , what is now known as
East Prussia, says the New York Tress.
Large tracts of land have stink there
below sea level and in time were cov
ered with the rank submarine growths
of ' seawopd and algae. Whenever a
storm churns and lashes the waves then
large masses of this green tangle are
torn from the bottom, and often carry
with them pieces of amber, the resin of
fossil pines, which, being but slightly
heavier than salt water, will float in
the network of weeds.- Upon bringing
the floating meadows, that cover the
sea after a propitious gale, ashore at
given points, there depends frequently
an enormous gain to the amber fisher,
who has rented certain portions of the
shore from the crown.
At those times the villages on the sea
board are all astir with excitement.
Nobody thinks of rest day nor night,
and everyone is on the alert, ready to
fly to the edge of the waves at the first
alarm from the watchers. Men defy
the roaring breakers, and, standing up
to their shoulders in the seething foam,
catch wisps of seaweed in long nets
and fling them shoreward, where the
women and children gather from them
the yellow jewels- of the sea. In this
manner as much as fourteen thousand
dollars' worth is known to have been
gathered in a single night. - But in spite
of the most rapid work it is not always
possible to bring all the cast-up amber
ashore; the larger pieces, especially,
are apt to sink. They are gathered by
means of long-handled nets called
"catchers," when a bright day and a
placid sea enables the amber fisher's
sight to penetrate the limpid water.
Inasmuch as it is often necessary to
turn over huge rocks this work is very
laborious, yet a case is known where
six hundred dollars' worth of amber
amply repaid four men for a summer
day's drudgery. Recently, however,
this mode has been entirely aba ndoned
in favor of one more in keeping- with
modern ingenuity and inventions.
The company now having charge of
the industry recognized some twenty
years ago the fact that the largest
pieces of amber eould not be easily
moved by the waves on account of then
weight, and that therefore a lucrative
harvest could be gathered directly from
the submerged portion of the amber
bearing stratum. Accordingly divers
were imported . from Vranee, but the
very first attempt, though thoroughly
satisfactory from a commercial point of
view, demonstrated that Frenchmen
were not able to stand the rigid climate
of eastern Prussia, and Lithuanians
were substituted for them.
Naturally the gleaning of the bot
tom of the sea along the coast eventual
ly exhausted the accessible supply of the
valuable resin, and from twenty-eight
thousand four hundred pounds in 1881
the treasure dropped to five thousand
two hundred pounds in 1S90, so that div
ing had to be discontinued and will not
be resumed until the government permits
submarine amber mining. The rapid
action of dynamite is t hen to take the
place of the work of divers, whose
movements are hampered by the stiff
and heavj' rubber suit and brass helmet.
Every miner has strapped to him a
bag, in which he collects the pieces of
amber. Before a miner is permitted to
leave the premises after each day's
work he is searched.. Scrupulously
honest men have had strangely per
verted conception of right and wrong
as regards amber. It seems to be con
sidered as a gift of nature to which he
who finds it is entitled. In the Hal tie
amber fields uueh thefts were formerly
punishable by death, and occasion still
required a quite frequent infliction of
severe punishment. A recital of the
curious and ingenious ways and means
iij which men have attempted to cir
cumvent the vigilance of the examiners
would add a highly interesting chapter
to the history of fraud.
The amber gathered in the mine and
the smaller pieces collected from the
shelves are washed with sand in revolv
ing drums. Next the pieces are sorted
into nearly one hundred classes, each
one representing some particular adap
tation of the raw material, flat pieces
that are made into smokers' utensils;
round pieces for beads and jewelry, and
small fragments out of which amber
varnish is made. The output of last
year was manufactured in four hundred
thousand dollars' worth of smokers'
utensils, and the balance of some
eighty thousand dollars' worth into jew
elry and varnish. '

BIRD TOILETS.
Peculiar Habits or the Fcnl.!icrHl DpdI
kcus of Wood actl Held.
The-feathcred tribes have many pe
culiar ways and fancies about the de
tails of their toilets. Some birds use
water only, some water ::nd dust, while
others prefer dust and no water. Uirds
are not only exceedingly nice in their
choice of bath, water, but also very
particular about the quality of their
"toilet dust." Wild ducks, though
feeding by salt water, prefer to bathe
in fresh water pools, and will fly long
distances inland to running brooks
and ponds, where they preen and dress
their feathers in the early hours of the
morning. Sparrows bathe often, both
in water and in dust. They are not so
particular about the quality of the wa
ter as about the quality of the dust.
They prefer clean water, but 1 1 have
seen them take a bath in shallow pools
that were quite muddy. The city spar
row must take a water bath where he
can get it in the streets or on the tops
of- houses but he is most careful in his
choice of his dust bath. Road dust,
the dryest and finest possible, suits
him best. I have noticed the city spar
row taking his dust bath in the street,
and invariably he chooses a place
where the dust is like powder. Part
ridges prefer dry loam. They like to
scratch out the soil from under the
grass and fill their feathers with cool
earth. Most birds are fond of burnt
ashes. Some early morning take a
walk across a field that has been burnt
over and see the number of winged
creatures that rise suddenly from the
ash heaps. A darting form, a small
cloud of ashes and the bathers disap
pear. Persona who sympathize with the
afflicted will rejoice with D. E. Can- of

he went up into Wisconsin, and in con

came upon me very acute and severe,"
he said. "My jointa swelled and became
inflamed ; sore to touch or almost to look
at. Upon the argent request of my
mother-in-law I tried Chamberlain's
Pain Balm to reduce the swelling and
ease the pain, and to my agreeable sur

It is the supply city for an extensive and rich agricultural
and grazing country, its trade reaching as far south as Summer
Liake, a distance of over two hundred miles.
The Largest "Wool Market.
The rich grazing country along the eastern slope of the Cas
cades furnishes pasturo for thousands of sheep, the wool from
which finds market here. ' ;
The Dalles -is the largest original wool shipping point in
America, about 5,000,000 pounds being shipped last year.
ITS PRODUCTS.
The salmon fisheries are the finest on the Columbia, yielding
this year a revenue of thousands of dollars, which -will be more
than doubled in the near future.
The products of the beautiful Klickitat valley find market
here, and the country south and east has this year filled the
warehouses, and aU available storage places, to overflowing with
their products. .

It is the richest city of its size on the coast' and its money ia
