JOE STOUFFKR, Secretary Humane World still IN This is the title of a publication which is sent out by the Humane Society of St. Paul for ttie purpose of preventing cruelly to animals by teaching people who deal' wtth them sympathy for. and appreciation of, the services which these faiihEul dumb animals render to us. Much of the ill treatment which they receive is due to ignorance and thoughtlessness. The reading of "Black Beauty" has led thousands, of persons of all ages to Sook at tbe subject from a horse's standpoint, and that beautiful story will live in the hearts of generations to come It is the purpose of Tbe Humane World to teach people that to give ani- tnals good fopd, comfortab'e shelter and kind care, -because ft a'dds to their value and usefulness The horse that is kept in good physical condition is ready to respond when his master asks for a strong pull, and all animals are worth mare in dollars and cents for having bad intelligent care.

Improved methpds of. transporting stock is made a special feature oE this work Railroad companies providing good facilities are commended to the public and those failing in this regard are condemned accordingly. Drinking fountains, where dogs and o'ther animals can have free access to fresh water hot weather is urged both for their comfort and as a preventive hydrophobia. In many ways it is shown the welfare of our animal friends is so closely interwoven with our own that even motives of self interest should prompt us to be mindful of their comfort, Mrs H. Knanp, tbe agent for the Humane World, is authorized by the pub lishers to furnish the paper to teamsters and expressmen free, and to support the work she solicits subscriptions from the people of Iowa City who are in sympathy with this worthy cause.

In this manner us mta'h as fourteen thousand dollars' worth is known to have been gathered in A single night. Itut in spite of the most rapid xvork it is not always possible to bring nil the cust up timber tushore; the lurjre uit'ees, especially, are apt to sink, arc by means of long-handled wrU, ctillM "catchers," when a. bright and a pliteid sea ejmbles th.e umber- Usher's sight to penetrate the limpid water. Inasmuch us it is often neeeRMiry to iura over huge rocks, thte work is very laborious; yet, ease ii known where six hundred dollars' worth of tuntiur limply repaid four men for a sn miner day's drudgery. Uecently.

however, this mode has been entirely abandoned in furor of one more in keeping with laiKlern ingenuity and inventions. Tho cowpnny now having charge of the entire industry reoogni7ed amne twenty years ago tho fuet that the largest ptecos of umber could not be easily moved by the waves on aec'onntof their weight, ttnd thai, therefore, a lucrative harvest eon Id be gathered directly from the submerged portion of the umber-bearing stratum. Accordingly (livers were imported -from France, but the very lifht attempt, thongh thoroughly satisfactory from a commercial point of view, demon strn ted that Frenchmen were not able to stand the rigid climate of Eastern Prussia, and Lithuanians were substituted for them. Naturally Hie gleaning of the bottooi of, the sea along the coast eventually the accessible supply of the valuable rtsin, and from 2tMOO in 1881 the trove dropped pounds in 18SS; so that diving lias to be discontinued, and will not be resumed until the government permits submarine amber mining, i The rapid action of dynamite is then to take the place of the work of divers, whose movements ai-e awkwardly hampered by tbe necehsarl- ly stiff and heavy rubber suit jmd bfass helmet. At the present titne umber is mined from that portion of the "blue earth" stratum which extendsinto terra firma.

Difficulties that only the genintt of modern engineers were able to overcome, to-wit, the penetration of quickhaml and layers of grovel that admitted water from the sea, prevented exten- diggings until a very, recent time. Now, however, a drift that si ants downward to a depth of ISO feet access to tunnels running in, every direction. Out of 2,480,000 cubic feet of "blue earth" were token 40o.OOO pounds of amber, valued at nearly 4500,000, last year by mining. Every miner has strapped to him a bag in which he collects the Jtirge pieces of the valuable commodity. The loosened dirt is carried away in small carts, which are hoisted to tho surface on elevators, and is then dumped into a' large bin, from whence it is carried by a stream of water into an arrangement of sluices.

These have perforated iron bottoms that permit the snntl and water to escape, retain tug only the amber and litrgor pebbles, 'which are eaiily separated. Before a miner permitted to leave the premises he is subjected to a rigorous search. Experience has thoroughly justified this regulation otherwise, most scrupulously Iioiie'it ncii were known to have strangely perverted conceptions of right and wrong as regards amber. It seems to be considered as a gift of nature to which he who finds it is entitled. At, tlw beginning of this Cpntnry such thefts were punishable by death, find though, of course, the for the crime has been muih mitigated hinw then, occasion still require 1 quite a frequent infliction of severe punishment.

A recital of the cnriirua and Ingenious ways and means in which men have tempted to circumvent the vigilance of the examiners would add highly interesting chapter to the history of fraud. The amber gathered in the mine and the smaller pieces collected from tho sluices are with wild in revolving drums. This process removes the rough outer ir rind frotn it, and thereby enhances it 1 commercial value Next the pieces are fiorttfd i a hundred classes, each one represent' ing some particular adaptation to the raw material, There are three main that are made into smolf nmnd for bcodt and jewelry, aad soull out ol whtoh Yarabh i niadfe.
