STRANGE DISCOVERY.
The Ossihed Remains Of a Pre-
historic American.
Spine Was Curved So That the Man Could
Not Have Looked Away from tho
Ground - Secrets of an
Ancient Mound.

An hours ride south of San Francisco
the remains have just been discovered
of community of prehistoric inhabit-
ants of this country. They were found
by party of students from Stanford
university who were on scientific ex-
ploration some four miles east of the
university grounds.
A pear'shaped mound Of earth covers
the remains of the colony. 1t is calcu-
.ated that some thousands of persons
are buried there. The mound lies with
is longer axis north and south, and
measures 40 feet in length by 320 in
width, and has an area of nearly two
3 ,res. In height it ranges from about
two feet at the southern end to ten feet
at its highest point, near the northern
extremity. The soil used in its con-
struction was the ordinary black adobe
Of the neighborhood.
1t was ascertained from some of the
old inhabitants of Spanish descent in
the vicinity that when the whites first
settled the country there was an Indian
village near the mound. But that
would not necessarily indicate any con-
nection between the Indians and the
prehistoric people buried there.
Tie mound Is now being explored
with antific care under the direction
of iio| Mary Sheldon Barnes, who has
charrc 1f the work in Pacific coast his
tory at The university.
The dr5t days excavation resulted in
the huo ng of three skeletons, together
with 4 uumber Of pointed bone imple-

would be recognized as forceful any

rare plants were blooming, the party
entered the library-a part of the cold

Daniel Boone was yet a man in middle
life, and upon the shelves of which
many quaint old curious volumes"
were reposing.

in Otoe county, Nebraska, recently re.
ferred to by Secretary Morton, numbers
eight, They were bred from three
calves rounded up with cattle in Colo

a six-acre lot and fed like native cattle
Two of the bulls, seven and eight
years, fought out the question of lead
crship year ago, and the elder was
pushed by the younger through heavy
plank fence. They are now kept apart.
Along with the buffaloes Is herd of elk,
also numbering eight. They are mas
ters of the situation. A cross between
the elk and black-cattle was obtained,
but the only calf proved barren. The
elk are fed lightly and are ordinarily
peaceful, but when they are in search
Of water their rush is irresistible.

SCHOLAR AND SEAMAN.


Capt. A. T. Mahan, the Famous Com.
mander of tho Chicago.
1t is strange how comparatively un-
known to the American public, outside
of government and naval circles, is
A. r. Mahan, formerly president of the
United States war college, and now
comanding officer of the Chicago, flag
ship on the European station. And
when persons read in the daily papers
that banquet was given in his honor,
in London, on the queens birthday,
they asked: "Who is this Capt. Mahan
they are making such fuss about in
England2"
Capt. Mahan, says the Illustrated
American, is the greatest authority on
naval tactics in the world. Moreover,
he has written two great works upon
the "Infucnce of Sea Power" as fasci-
mating and instructive to landlubbers
as to seamen. The first tells of the in.
fuence Of that power Upon History,

French Revolution and Empire, 1903.
1872" Capt. Mahan has also written
1.-THE Gulf and Inland Waters" and q
Life of Admiral Farragut."
This ornament to the United States
navy is New Yorker by birth, and
was appointed to the naval academy in
1856. In 1861 he was commissioned a
lieutenant, and lieutenant commander
in 1865. During 1s7o-7l he was at
tached to the New York navy yard,
and In 1872 was commissioned com,
mander. He was promoted to captain
In 1885, and was made president of the
war college in 1886. Last year he was
appointed to the Chicago.

then in the right leg, next in the left
hip and completely through the right
thigh and hip, then in the head, and
finally, before Richmond, his right arm
was taken off.
When he lost his arm Col. Oates was
taken to farmhouse, where he was
nursed by southern girl. After he
was able to be about he felt that if he
couldn't win the girl he would thank
her for having saved his life. He made

Col. Oates is one of the most striking

broad-shouldered, deep-chested and
