THE AMBER HARVEST. Work of the Wntlurn nnd the Divers of the IlaHiu Sen. Tho poor people who earn a precari ous livelihood by gathering amber on tho shores of tho Baltic sea work only In tho roughest weather. When tho wind blows in from the sea, as it often does with terrific violence, the bowlders are tossed and tumbled at the bottom and great quantities of sea wrack aro washed up on the beach. This Is tho harvest of the waders, for hidden In the roots and branches of the seaweed lumps of tbo precious gum may be found. In other parts of the coast divers go crawling on the bottom of the sea for tho lumps of amber hidden In seaweed and under rocks. It Is believed that once a great pine forest flourished hero where the great billows roll and that amber Is the gum exuded from tho trees, of which not a vestige remains. Tho finds are very variable. The lar gest pleco known, weighing eighteen pounds, Is in the Royal museum in -Berlin. The usual finds range from lumps as big as a man's head to particles like grains of sand. The larger pieces ore found jammed in rocks or In tangles of marine vegetation. Divers work from four to five hours a day In all seasons, except when the sea Is blocked with Ice. Tho work Is so, arduous that they are bathed In perspiration even in tho coldest weather. For all their grinding toll the Samland natives are happy In their way and Increase and multiply as in more favored regions of the earth. A SPECIAL SENSE. That "Which Unerringly Direct a Shark to Carrion. It is a curious thing and, so far as present knowledge goes, quite Inex plicable how a shark seems to have an unerring perception of tho presence of carrion. By virtue of what sense does ho know that at u distance of perhaps a couple of miles there is food to bo had for the picking up? It can hardly bo sight, and to say that It is the sense of smell presupposes an olfactory ap paratus of such marvelous delicacy that one good whiff from an average "harness cask" would surely burst tho machinery for good and all. And yet our shark will bolt a goodly lump of the gamiest salt pork without so much as a wink. No, it cannot be his noso which leads him. Now a t.ieory has been put forward by naturalists that the shark possesses, In common with the Andes condor, a special sense, or Instinct, which Is de nied to cleaner feeding animals. Tho naturalist cannot explain this sense. Ho confesses. In fact, that ho knows nothing about It. But ho can give It a name. Ho calls It tho "carrion sense." and with that name, which, of course. explains nothing at all, expects us to bo satisfied. Pearson's Maga.lne. TonKlmcMH of the Ant. Ants are really very long lived, con sidering' their minuteness. Janet had two queens under observation for ton years, und one of Sir John Lubbock'H ant pets lived Into her fifteenth year. Ants are very teuacloiiB of life after severe Injury. Following loss of the entlro abdomen, they sometimes llvo two weeks, nnd In ono case a headless ant, carefully decapitated by aseptic surgery, lived for forty-one days. X carpenter uut after being submerged eight days lu distilled water came to life upon being dried, so Unit ants aro practically proof against drowning. Thoy can live for long periods without food. In one case tho fast lasted near ly nine months before tho ant starved to death. Scientific American. Chicago Live Stock. Chlengo, Feb.
