Was the Koran the work of Mohammed?

Was the Koran the Work of Mohammed?
The Koran is alleged to be series of
revelations to Mohammed, made at various
times and various places. As the visions
occurred, memoranda concerning them
were jotted down by the Prophet, some
times on palm leaves, sometimes on bits of
skin and parchment, end occasionally on
the shoulder-blades of sheep. The entire
death, and edited by one of his followers
How much was added by the first editors
We have no means of knowing, but it is
certain that among Mohammed people the
entire body of writings known as the
Koran is received as from the pen of Mo-
BANNED, and as entitled to all the rever-
ence ascribed to his name. The Koran is
the Moslem guide, not in religious matters
only, but as body of civil law from which
there is no appeal Globe. Democrat.

PETRIFIED MAN.
The Discovery Made by Two Fresno
Farmers.

FRESNO, December l4th.-Yesterday two men
named Packwood and Barrett came in from
Cantua canyon with remarkable curiosity,
namely, a petriied man. The men are from
Fresno, but have land at Cantua canyon which
they were engaged in cultiva ing. One of
then saw foot protruding from the ground,
and, upon investigation, they unearthed the
body Of man. They found that it was petri-
fed when they attempted to lift it, it being as
much as they could do to carry it to their
wagon. As it was, they let it fall, and foot
and leg were broken off.
Paekwood and Barrett brought their strange
find to Fresno and deposited it in the rear room
of a drug store here, and but a few are per-
mitted to see it. The body is remarkably we'll
preserved and even the lines on the back of the
hand are visible. The left hand rests on the
breast, the right On the stomach, which is de.
pressed The head is of a good size and the
features are of the Caucasian type. The man
measures nearly seven feet in length.
Physicians have seen the petrifaction and de-
clare it genuine but have not determined
upon the race he belonged to. A reporter ex-
amined the portion broken off and found it
somewhat porous. From appearances the pet
rified man is a genuine curiosity. Ee was
found in district that is noted for its petrifac-
tiOns.
