With lantern slides, experiments
and numerous actual speciuens o
amber and its imitations, Dean Krau
illustrated his lecture yesterday after
noon and took his audience on "A Tri]
To The Amber Coast." The afternoo
heat reduced the attendance to les
than usual and less than one hundre
students and townspeople were in Nat
ural Science Auditorium.
Amber is, said Dean Kraus, a fossi
resin of rather complex chemica
composition which is exuded fron
trees. Amber is found in Roumania
Sicily, and Burma, but primarily ir
eastern Prussia on the , Baltic. Th(
nearest city to the center of the ambe
trade is Koenigsburg, while its rea
heart is the village of Pamnicken. It
is there that the amber industry has
most extensively developed.
Amber has been known for cen-
turies; the Greeks called it "electrum"
from its properties of electrification;
and its use has largely been confined
to jewel-cases and beads because of
its softness and injury by abrasion.
Recently it has been adapted for cig-
arette holders, pipe-stems and other
accessories for smokers.
Is Soft
When found amber is soft and may
be easily worked up into various
forms. It is also easily polished, and
the two qualities make it very desir-
able for decorative purposes in which
it will not receive hard usage. There
are various colors of amber, varying
from perfect clearness to osseous or
bone-like structure. The differences
in color are caused by the presence of
more or less air-bubbles. Clear amber
is almost free from them, osseous
sometimes has as many as 900,000 to
the square millimetre.
Amber was probably formed, Dean
Kraus stated, in the prehistoric for-
ests of Scandinavia. From these for-
ests it was transported in loose pieces
to the southern shore of the Baltic by
water. Amber floats, not directly on
the surface but a little beneath it,
being only slightly more dense than
water. People on the Baltic coast
still pick up pieces of amber, especial-
ly after violent storms.
The present day industry, Dean
Kraus said, began in 1860 when a Ger-
man contracting firm. Stantien and
Becker, was given a contract to dredge
a channel for shipping purposes. The
dredge brought to light so much
amber that the company offered to do
the dredging free if the government
would allow them to retain the amber
found. All amber, since it is cast up
by the sea. belongs not to the finder
but to the government, and the latter
pays a bounty to those who turn in
their discoveries.
Shaft Sunk
In 1876 a shaft was sunk to mine
amber after it was discovered that a
certain stratum was rich in the "blue
earth" which contains the material.
The shaft system proved both dan-
gerous and expensive and was aban-~
doned in 1923. In 1913 the open pit.
method was begun and it has been
found the most profitable. Amber is
mined by great dredges and hydrau-~
lies.
Besides its use as jewelry amber is
used in large quantities for amber
rosin, a substance used in the varnish
and lacquer industries. For the amber
rosin the amber of poorer quality and
the chips from the moulded and polish-
ed gem amber is used.
Dean Kraus concluded his lecture
with a discussion of the various sub-
stitutes for natural amber. The first
of these is pressed amber, made of
low quality amber and chips fused to-
gether by heat. Another well-known
substitute is Bakelite, which may be
distinguished by its greater weight,

and a third substitute comes from
Zanzibar and has a goosepimple sur-

r PARIS, France, July 21.-The Her-
iot cabinet was defeated tonight 290
to 257 in the Chamber of Deputies
after barely two days existence.
Outside while the vote was in prog-
ress, police reserves curbed a crowd
of several thousand Parisians who
hooted the premier and members of his
government. The temper of the
crowd was described as "ugly" and it
was seen as typifying the mounting
aapprehension of the country at large.
The Heriot cabinet was formed to
succeed the tenth ministry of Aristide
Briand and to re-habilitate the finan-
cial position of France. It lasted just
a few hours longer than the Francois-
Marshal ministry, which in 1924, was
formed to present the case of the
president of the republic, Alexendre
Millerand to Parliament after M.
Heriot had refused to receive a mis-
sion to form a cabinet, at his home.
lillerand's Fall Cnompared
Significant references to the historic
events of M. Millerand's departure
from Elysses palace, where he was
succeeded by M. Doumergue, were
made today when the man who played
an agressive part in this event fell
with a disastrous crash from the ped-
estal in which the election of 1924
lifted him.
The reverse the radical leader met
with today, was all the more serious
since it followed so quikly upon the
assault he made with success on the
Briand cabinet last week, and because
it may mean the return of Al. Miller-
and to power with a national union
cabinet comprising all the former
premier's cabinet and presided over
by M. Poincaire.
While the premier was pleading hi;
case before the chamber, crowl,
gathered in front of the Palace Bour-
bon. They grew to serious propoi-
tions, and before the vote was an
nounced at least 5,000 person had
massed in front of the chamber in the
Rue Bourgoene and the Boulevard
Saint Germain. They hooted Hleriot
and there was an occasional cry or
"on to Elysses."
Defeated on Policy
The Heriot ministry wa sdefeated on
the question of its declaration of pol-
icy. This dealt entirely with the sal-
vation of the franc and the general
financial situation. Immediately after
the vote, M. Heriot went to Elysses
Palace and presented the resignation
of his ministry to President Doumer-
gue.
There seemed to be little doubt
when the lower house met this after-
noon that the time for political man-
euvering around the financial question
was ended. M. Heriot, who for two
years has been a commanding figure
in Parliament, came to the govern-
ment bench for the third time without
a single greeting from the assembly.

THIRD EDITION Of BOOK
BY CONRADNOW PRINTED1
a "Temper" by Lawrence Conrad of
the rhetoric department, which was
published in February, 1924, has just
been brought out in a third edition,
by the original publishers, Dodd,
Mead, and - Company.
Although the novel was issued more
than two years ago, its sale is as
great at the present time as it has
ever been.
"Temper" has aroused a great deal
of comment both for its reflection up -
on our great industrial system and
for the unusual manner in which it is
written. It has served as the basis
of a number of sermons in American
churches; it has been used as a docu-
ment in sociology in two or three col-
leges, and has been adopted as a study
hook in Americanization by a national
organizlion interested in work with
foreigners.
The first Amerien novel to use the
automobile industry as both back
ground and theme, interest in it has
increased during the last winter as a
result of the automobile industry tak-
ing its place as the greatest American
industry. A typically Michigan prod-
uct, it developed out of the author's
experience in a Detroit automobile
factory.

CAMP CUSTER, July 21 (Special)-
Every citizen in Michigan is invited
to visit Camp Custer on Michigan
Day, July 30. There will be a special
program for the benefit of the camp
guests, and everyone whether they
have relatives in camp or not are urg-
ed to visit camp one of these two
days, as they will be welcome. They
can see first hand what is being taught
the young men of Michigan.
Governor Alex J. Groesbeck, and a
number other prominent citizens of
Michigan have been invited to visit
camp on Michigan Day, and Mayor
John W. Smith, Detroit, and prominent
Detroit citizens, including Congress-
man John W. Sosnowski and Con-
gressman Clarence J. McLeod, have
been invited to visit camp on Detroit
Day.
General Fred W. Green, mayor of
Ionia, who was the chairman of the
C. M. T. C. for Ionia county, and who
brought his students from Ionia to
camp and turned them over to Col.
Sheldon, will visit camp again for sev-

eral days during the latter part of
July.
Every afternoon the young men en-
joy athletic games of all kinds, and
many are on the tracks getting ready
for the track and field contests that
will be held the early part of August.
Eagle Lake, adjoining camp proper,
is a busy place every afternoon. Sev-
eral hundred boys visit there and have
a swim every afternoon. This is a
popular sport in camp this year.
Very few of the C. M. T. C. students,
less than 550 of them, go to Battle
Creek at night. The boys remain in
camp and enjoy the many things pre-
pared for them in the way of movies,
concerts, dances, and talking parties.
The camp for the first week has been
free from sickness of any kind, and
the discipline has been excellent.
When it is understood that many of
the students have never before been
under any kind of restraint or disci-
pline Colonel Sheldon marvels at the
manner in which they accept the du-
ties asked of them.
