In front of small house on the south side
of Sutter street in 1876, where it remained
until moved to its present position about
four years ago. In its old place it was. on

1t is scarcely noticeable and thousands. of
people pass daily within few feet of it
and never know it is there.
The whale that once was the owner of
the vertebra must have been a monster,
although at the time he was killed there
were very likely q good many just like
him. The bone is about six feet across at
the widest point from side to side and four
feet the other way.
At one time the bone had sign painted
on it, but that has been almost obliter-
ated by the action of the elements. In
fact the bone itself shows signs of decay.
1t Is bleached almost white and is cracked
IN dozen places. Judging from its pres

Local Managers Cannot Agree
on Rates for Growing
Crops.
FARMERS TO GET THE BENEFIT
New Phase of the Fire Underwriters
Bitter Fight-The Patrol Not
in Danger.

1here is going to be q free-for-all conflict
among fire insurance companies over In
surlng growing grain this season through
out the State. This news will no doubt be
pleasing to farmers, who have not been
getting all their share out of the wheat
crops. 1t may mean that man with 1000
acres OF growing grain can insure his crop
against fire for paltry figure in com pari-
son with rates of former years; and also
that every field of wheat and other grain
Will be covered by policies.
The prospect of war in this branch OF
hre insurance business became a certainty
yesterday. when the local companies failed
to agree on standard rate.
A petition had been circulated among
the thirty-tive companies dealing in grain
insurance, asking the general managers of
the respective agencies to sign it in favor
Oh certain rate. A. E. Magill of the
Ph9nix and Home, who has persist.
emily objected to the formation of a com
pact, refused to sign. Two other managers
hearing of this decided to withhold their
signatures. AS it was evident that the
petition had fallen through a meeting of
the managers was called. They assembled
yesterday at California and Battery streets
In the Underwriters rooms and made an
0ACi'O dtlcHlpG 10 com pine on q stand
ara rate for insurance of growing grain
from risk by fire. Thirty-fve Companies
were represented. Magill refused to ioin
hands with his rivals, and so the plan was
abandoned as a failure.
And now the old standard exists no
more for the farmer. A little dickering on
his part, by putting one company against
another, will in ali probability result in an
offer for business at his own terms.
The result will be a go-as-you please
policy, leading manager remarked.
"Cut your neighbor's throat and be
done with it.. Anything to get business" 4"
1t is possible that the assessment on fire
insurance companies for support of the
Fire Patrol will be increased this quarter.
since the old II per centum of premium
income is not sufficient for that purpose
any longer. The patrol, however, will
not be curtailed further. Salaries oi
men IN the patrol have been reduced, ex.
penses cut down wherever it was possible
to retrench, the outside station on Eddy
street abolished and the premises rented
and in addition to all this the public.

Herrold, reinouished his salary and act.

FORMIDABLE ENGINES OF WAR
The French Army Not So Great a Bur
den to the Nation as ImaEined.

den to the Nation as Imagined.
One cannot speak or think of the French
army without at once comparing it with
the German. If we strip off the coverings
and come to the naked fact the two armies
exist for the purpose of fighting each
other, and, therefore, the prime question
is, (which will win, which will be the
best able to stand the strain of warp No
doubt the fact that the French army is
popular is great gain in peace, and, to q
certain extent, gain in war. The light
hearted, enthusiastic soldier will do won
ders when he is on the rising wave. If
however. the popularity of the army has
been bought by sacrifice of the essentials
of discipline, it has been bought far too
dearly. When once nations are at war the
popularity or unpopularity of military
service matters in truth very little. All
that the soldier thinks of is winning, for
he knows that in the long run winning is
the road of safety and of life, and soldiers,
like other men, think of their lives.
The grievances of the barracks are all
sunk in the instant need for standing
shoulder to shoulder, and if these griev-
ances were only the phenomena of rigid
discipline men in the field might easily
come to regard them as a source of safety.
The unhappy conscript, if his unhappiness
be due not TO o weak spirit. but to the iron
strictness of the discipline under which he
is drilled, may fight quite as well, nay
better, than he whose barrack life has been
so pleasant that it has failed to make him
feel the awful seriousness of war. The
men who set their teeth and fire in dour,
stubborn, gloomy earnestness are often
better soldiers than those to whom CAM
paign seems kind of picnic. At the
same time it must not be forgotten that
the martinete style of discipline may con-
ceivably be carried too far and may result
in breaking the spirit of the soldier and in
turning him into mere machine. What
is wanted is discipline which produces
perfect loyalty to the officer and perfect
obedience, but which at the same time
leaves the soldier his independence and
his power OF initiative when initiative is
required.
The soldiers of Grant and Sherman to-
ward the end of the war had these quail
ties to perfection, and if / mistake not our
own soldiers at the present day have them
as largely. developed as they can be devel-
oped in time of peace. Possibly the French
private has them, too. But be that as it

WHAT PROF. LIE CONTE SAYS
Spirit Individuality Not Possessed
by the Dumb AMI

Being interviewed on the question of
souls in animals, Professor Joseph LIE
Conte of the University of California said
II have treated that subject at length in
my published works, and therein 1 have
declared that self-consciousness especially
seems to me the simplest sign of separate
entity or spirit individuality, and its ap-
pearance among psychical phenomena
the very act of spirit BIRTH We may
imagine man to have emerged ever so
gradually from animals In this gradual
development the moment he became con-
scious of self, the moment he turned his
thoughts inward in wonder upon himself
and on the mystery of his existence as
separate from nature, that moment marks
the birth of humanity out of animalitv.
All else characteristic of man followed as
a necessary consequence. l am quite sure
that if any animal, say dog or monkey,
could be educated up to the point of self
consciousness (Which however, L am sure
is impossible) that moment he (no
longer IT'D would become a responsible
moral being, and all else characteristic OF
moral beings would follow. At that mo-
ment would come personality, immortal
ity, capacity of voluntary progress. and
science, philosophy, religion would quickly
follow.
I'VE have emphasized self-consclous-
ness as the most fundamental sign of
spirit individuality, but difference of
exactly the same kind is found running
through the whole gamut of human facul-
ties as compared with corresponding facul-
ties in animals. As animal consciousness
is related to human self-consciousness. so
exactly is animal will to human free will,
animal intelligence to human reason,
animal sign-language to rational gram
matical speech of man. constructive art OF
animals to true rational progressive art of
man. In every one of these the resem-
blance is great; but the difference is i'm
mense, and not only in degree but also in
kind. In every case it is like shadow and
substance, promise and fulfillment; or,
still better, it is like embryo and child.
The change from one 10 the other is like
to birth into higher sphere, the begin
ming OF another cycle of evolution"
