The science of Egypt, in it3 highest development, did not succeed in discovering a method of embalming so perfect as the simple process taking place in nature. A tree exudes a gummy, resinous matter in a liquid state. An insect accidentally lights in it and is caught. The exudation continues and envelops it completely, preserving the most minute details of its structure. In the course of time the resin becomes a, fossil and is known as amber. The history of fossil insects is largely indebted to th.e fly in amber. And to the preserviig properties of amber we owe, likewise, our knowledge of some of the more minute details of ancient plant structure. The coasts of the Baltic are and have, been from the days of the Phoenician traders the great source of the amber of commerce. It occurs in rolled fragments, in strata known to geologists as oligocene. These are tertiary rocks of a date little more recent than those of the London basin and equivalent to the younger tertiary series of the Isle? of Wight. The fragments of fossil resin were washed down by the rivers from the pine forests of the district along; with sediments and vegetable debris. In them are found most perfectly preserved remains of the period, as well as of insect life. Fragments of twigs, leaves, buds and flowers, with .sepals, petals, stamens and pistils still in place, occur. A recent genus, dentzia, has been! recognized by its characteristic stamens; the valves of the anthers of! cinnamomum are seen in others. In one specimen the pendent catkin of a species of oak is seen as distinctly! through the clear amber as if it were a fresh flower. And, besides the insect and plant remains thus sealed up in amber, stray relics of the; higheif fauna of the forest have also been met . T THE MONTHLY of the meeting j ! ? with.;- ?

The central figure In the paper was Zacharie Vincent, alias Telariolin, a Huron of Ancienne Lorette, born in 1808, a example of the Huron-Iroquo- is great stock, says the Montreal Gazette. His father and grandfather had been Hurons ' from Huron mothers ; his mother was a is of Iroquois descent. Dr. Beers prefaced his jaccount of the ;ifts, character and achievements of lis hero for, in spite of his failings, ;here was something herhic in Zacharie by contrasting the two! main sections of the Huron-Iroquo- is race. The points of difference that marked off the Iroquois from the Hurons in the days of Champlain and Frontenac and Montcalm and under the British dispensation have continued to distinguish heir descendants, changed though they he from the formidable warriors of old. Dr. Beers illustrated this difference of traits that had come under his personal observation. He then related the tradition of the original home of the Hurons and outlined their migration since Cartier's visit to Hochelaga (the beaver dam). The legend that they had come out of a mountain between Quebec and the great sea had been explained to Dr. Beers by an Oka chief to indicate the period during which the Hurons were hiding from the tomahawks of their warlike kinsmen, the Iroquois. Zachorarie did justice to his a was in he that, from childhood, igin vagabond of the woods and waters.
