A Quaint Old Town,

Aries Is one of those curious old towns
that were evidently planned with all eye to
Siege. Crossing tho moat, one passes
through an ombattled gateway with quaint
armorial carvings sadly mutilated by time
The cobblcstono streets are very narrow,
and, in their lahyrinthino windings, re.
mind one of the kylos Of Butte Having
safely threaded them, tho center Of the
town Is rcached-tho Place Royalo. Hore,
hard by the Hotol do Villc, Is tho Cathe.
dral Of ST. Trophimus. Not far distant
from the cathedral arc tho remains Of the
Roman theator, Tho two Corinthian col.
ulnns still standing remind ono of the
forum at Rome. The ground is strewn
with the fragments Of pillars extending in
limo for considerable distance, and be.
yond rlse-tier above tier in the form of
semicircle--the seats for the spectators
Near to the thcater is tho most celebrated
Of the Aries antiquities, the great amphI:
theater. 1t measures 40 feet by BAL and
there still remain two stories of 60 arches
formed of such enormous blocks of stone
as call to mind the giant circle at Stone
henge. Within tho walls are vaulted
chambers opening on the aroma, which are
supposed to have been the dens Of wild
beasts. Above them there are CORR.
doris and As rows Of seats, which were
capable Of accommodating upward of co.
900 people. The building is believed to
be of the time of Titus, and though not
comparable in interest to the Coliseum at
Rome Is in much better state Of preser-
walton. The amphithcater was in the
eighth century converted into n fortresa
either by the Saracens or by Charles Mar
tel, who erected four defensive towers
three Of which remain.-London Culver.

Valuable Fossils Unearthed
in a Gully Near
Stanford.
University Men Rewarded While
Searching for Geological
Specimens.
Relics of a Prehistoric Age 10 Be
Added to the Palo Alto
Museum.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. CAL, Dec.
14.-During the latter part of last week a
pair of fossil mastodon tusks were found
by DR.. Branner and 6. B. Wilson. News
of tie discovery was given out to-day by
Mr.. Wilson. They were on collecting
trip among the hills southwest of the
university. While digging in the gravel
IN narrow gully for fossil shells. part of
one of the tusks was uncovered. Its mate
was found shortly afterward.
Owing to the character of the soil the
giant tusks were we'll preserved. AS it
would take about four men to carry one of
them from their present site to the uni
versity, they were carefully covered and
observations taken to determine their
location. A party of students will bring
the fossils to the university during the
Christmas holidays.
Dr.. Branner made light of the discovery.
He said that it was of no infrequent oc-
currence to find remains of either ele-
plants or mastodons in this region. In
rummaging through lot of dusty fossils
in search of an elephants tooth he pointed
out weather-worn human skull which
had been pierced by bullet. When asked
where 1t was picked up, he replied that he
had found it il Mayfield on one of his
geological trips. The elephants tooth and
many other interesting fossils found in
the neighborhood are kept in the geo.
logical department.
