fant's. Twice only was his body cone
vulsed with rigors, until tho work OF ~
suscitation began.
One of the interesting features OF this
experiment was his extreme eensitiveneoes
Utterly unconscious and as rigid as
corpse, in a darkened room, with eyes
blindfoIded by heavy black silk hand
kerchief, yet if a stranger entered ana
looked at him, however still and without
speaking, the pulse would rise five to fif-
teen beats to the minute, and respiration
greatly increased.
In justice to Professor Tyndall We would
state that we found it impossible to comply
with all of his Instructions. Members OF
the press and many physicians and friends
insisted on seeing him and watching the
progress of this experiment. The noise OF
the street cars passing his hotel. the rattle
of thousand vehicles, the crowds OF eager
and excited people that gathered in and
about Hotel Ramona, all had their influ-
ence to prevent him reaching the stage OF
suspended animation whj !, he had ex-
pected.
In our opinion, Tyndall could not have
been buried at any time during his cata-
leptic trance without putting an end to his
life. To have even prepared his body for
burial. as he directed. under the circum-
stances would have meant suffocation, and
a killing which would have been man.
slaughter. The committee, therefore. per.
formed their duties faithfully toward Mr..
great scientific question involved, the laws
of the land and the dictates of humanity.

A Will Filled and a Fight Is in Pros
pect
VENTURA, Jan. 8.--The will of Antonio
Schiarpa Pietra, the Ventura county
millionaire, who died in San Reno,
Italy, February l, 1895, bequeaths the
whole estate without reservation to
Leopoldo Schiappa-Pie the resident
brother. This cuts off three sisters
and one brother resid ent in Genoa,
Italy, the heirs resident in Santa
Barbara, and a presumptive son, An
tonic, residing in San Francisco. The
will is Photographic, but bears nothing
but the date and signature, with no.
thing to indicate where it was written.
It bears date of July II, 1894. and ap-
! points Leopoldo sole executor, devisee
| and legatee- Barnes & Selby, attor-
neys for the public administrator, ap-
pear as attorneys for the executor.
Late tonight the attorneys for the
Santa Barbara heirs telephoned for a
certified copy Of the will. 1t is known
that the attorneys for the presumptive
son, Antonio, in San Francisco have
been watching for developments in
this matter since February last A
big contest is looked for, as the petit
ton for probate of the document
places value of $4,000 on the Ven
tura estate. The hearing of applica-
tion for probate has been fixed for

THE COMMITTEES REPORT

Those Who Had Charge of TyndaiI's Burial
Test Have Their Say
The committee who were selected to
bury Prof. Tyndall seven feet under ground
and at the end of thirty days to dig him up
and see what his corpse looked like, have
met and agreed upon a report, which in
substance is as follows:
TO THE PUBLIC
We, the undersigned committee. selected
by the audience at Illinois hall, Sunday,
January 3. 1896, to take charge of Prof.
Tyndall's burial test, beg to submit the
following report:
The committee consisted of seven MEM
bers, to whom was added Prof. Bell. They
had no in crest whatever i'll Prof Tyndall
but they all felt great interest in the
great question involved in his experiment.
If a western mystic could enter the realms
of, and successfully compete with, the fa-
nous ''adepts" and mystics of India, here
in Los Angeles, it would be an eveht
| worthy the close of this Nineteenth cen-
tury. 1t was expected by Prof. Tyndall
that animation would he almost, if not en-
tirely, suspended by z am. Tuesday; that
respiration and circulation would have
almost ceased. II he had reached that
stage by the appointed time, that the COM
mittee were tn prepare the body according
to his directions, IN the interesl S of science.
None of the committee ever dreamed that
they were called upon to smother, strange
or otherwise interfere with the life func-
tions of Tyndail, and consequently none
were alarmed nor influenced in the slight
est degree by the open and covert hints of
''criminal prosecution ,'''arrest by polce,''
| etc
| For thirty-three and one-half hours we
watched Tyndall's existence in the cata-
! leptic state, keeping an accurate houry
record of temperature, circulation and
respiration, with the following results:
| Temperature-Highe 1O1%; lowest,
| 96ss.
| Circulation (pulse) e)-Highest, ITO; low
est, AZ.
Observation-Disclosures %; lowest, 4.
The body remained rigid during the
whole of that time, any limb being moved
would remain stationary at the angle to
which it was raised. No stentorous breath
ing occurred during This catalep!ic sleep,
but his breathing was as gentle as an in

From both the above tables it is seen that
the greater precipitation comes after the
first day of January, the months that have
the heaviest fall being as rule February
and March. There does not seem then to
be any particular ground for believing til 1t
the present year will be remarkably dry
one, or even dryer than the average. At
present this section lacks 1913 inches of
rain, but there does not seem to be any
good reason why this amount should not
be made up in the remaining months of the
wet season.
At present, Mr.. Franklin says. that there
are apparent atmospheric disturbances off
the whole coast of Southern California, but
these are not indicated in the chart. In
the official report. the forecast for South
ern California is for stationary weather.
slightly warmer. There is very high at
mospheric pressure in the mountain and
plateau regions. extending westward to the
Pacific coast with Diminishing pressure.
In the Puget Sound district there is a low
barometer noticeable, cloudy weather and
rain with light easterly and southerly
winds. Elsewhere on the coast the indica-
tionS are for far, warmer weather.
The old residents of Santa Monica say
that there is rain in the air. and It's pres
ence is indicated by The murky horizon
and the hot still air. They prophesy ram
within the next two days But whether it
comes or not as prophesIed, there are still
five months in which to make up the neces-
sary amount, so that as YET, there does not
seem to be any good ground for uneasiness
on the score of a dry year.

PASADENA, Jan. Snow that the
widening of North Raymond avenue
from Locust to Chestnut streets has
been arranged and the work will soon
be under way, thus making the avenue
of a uniform width, the property own
ers on that thoroughfars have been
considering the matter of paving por
tion of it. The work has been esti-
m ated and Contractor Fairchild will
probably be given contract by the
property owners interested to pave
that portion of the avenue from Col
orado to LOCUST streets, the material
selected being asphaltum, with the gat-
terS Of granite. It has been matter
of regret that the cutters on Colorado
street were not made of granite blocks,
instead of the same asphaltum of
which the rest of the street is paved, as
teams standing at ths curb soon stamp
great holes and depres sions in the pave
ment where the water from the sprink-
ling cart settles, forming dirty pools
next to the side walk. This mistake is
not to be made in the new work. The
paving of this new section of Raymond
avenue will hasten the erection of new
business blocks in that vicinity, at
least one of the projected buildings
only awaiting the paving Of the street.
