Some delay to Paimnicken, East Prussia, May 1. —(—With frost out of the ground, quarrying for amber has started again at the great Prussian amber mining works here, only plant of its kind in the world Palmnicken lives on a whole village of 860 peop ployed in the plant. Amber, “Prussian zold," was trad- ed at this little spot on the Baltic coast with the ancient Phoenicians. Fishermen dredged for it in & days, but more recently it has be dug out of blue clay. Great hoppers bring up cars of clay from an area a syuare mile in extent. The clay 1= washed for amber in much the same way as auriferous earth is washed for gold. Each sca- son about 3,600,000 cubic meters of sofl are moved. Amber is found in pieces are picked out and with sand in great revolving drums. An army of girls sits at a running tard and picks out six recognized standard gualities. Every year the abeut 125,000 pounds third of this is suitabls orpaments. The rest is ground to powder to make *“pressed” amber, or melted down to make varnish and colophony. Amber oil and acid are by-products obtained by distillation. Pleces of seven or cight pounds welght are not rare, hut the biggest single lump ever found here weighed about 15 pounds. 1In the laboratory. of all shades and sizes are kept— vright amber, pale yellow amber, dark amber and milky amber, plain and with flies, bugs or tiny leaves tmbedded in them, dating from the tartiary period when coniferous for- asts flourished here in a sub-tropical <limate. The mest valuable amber b the quaint name of “sauerkrau cayse it is of a pale vellow tinge and has markings suggesting strands of cut cabbage.
