FOOTPRINTS IN THE STONE.
Discovery in . Los Angeles Park OF
Great Interest to Archaeologista.


Scientidcally-incllned persons in
southern California are bordering
deeply over the discovery, in Elysian
park here, of a distinct imprint in solid
stone of shoe worn by human being,
says the Los Angeles Herald. This dis
covery is certain to excite no little COM
ment for there appears to be no authen-
tic record of fossilized footprint Of
a human being of ordinary size having
been found heretofore. The peculiar
feature of this find is that the owner
of the foot wore a shoe of antique Next
can fashion, with high, narrow heel
and broad, fat sole. The imprint is
perfectly clear and looAs as though the
owner had unwittingly put his right
foot into soft mud but a day or two
ago and left his mark, to be dried by
the sun and preserved for future gen
erations.
The fossil imprint was discovered by
laborers who were making deep cut
for the new wagon road northwest of
the park. 1t was cut out of solid rock,
four feet or thereabouts below the sur
face soil, and from a point on the hill
side at least 10 feet above the bottom
of the little canyon at the hills base.
The stone is fne-grained shale, I'M
pregnated with lime. An interesting
fact in connection with the find is this:
Several other excenently preserved and
clearly defined organic remains,
such as ferns, leaves and twigs, have
been found in the same deposit, and.
stranger still. but few days ago the
complete outline Of a fish was taken
from the same stratum of stone not
many feet distant from this last find.
The fish's remains were 20 feet below
the surface

CURIOUS FACTS.

Skiddan is a township in England
that contains but one house and the
occupier of that has no vote.
1t is no unusual thing for a vessel
plying between Japan and London to
carry 100000 fans as a single item of
its cargo.
On the village green at Meriden, in
Warwickshire, is large stone cross,
which is supposed to mark the central
point of England.
The largest known flower is the raf-
fiesta of Sumatra, whose diameter is
nine feet, and which smells like piece
of putrid beef of the same size.
Two Bit is a novel name of the young

The city of Bantam, in Great Bucharia,
is cut in the side of mountain. There
are 10000 artificial caves, some very
large, and two statues, one 90 and the
other 20 feet high. each hewn from
single stone.
The largest fagpole in the United
States-over 176 feet long and 3Oinches

and will present it to the town.

FEW AMERICANS AMONG THEM.
Hawaii's Population Made Up Largely
of Japs and Chinese.

A census of the Hawaiian islands has
been taken recently and the result just
ben received by the department at
Washington. The figures, says the Man
chester IN. H. Union, are most interest
ing in view of the renewed movement
for their direct annexation 20 this gov
eminent, which the present administra-
ton is said to be very DESTROYS of
bringing about. The total Americans
constitute less than three per cent.
of the whole and but little over two
per cent. of the male population. They
are, however, in full possession Of the
government, having thus been since
Queen Liliuokalani was deposed. Con-
sidering these facts, 1t is not strange
that they should be fearful lest such
power should be wrested from them
or at least be considerably more linn
tied than at present. Except for the
peculiar conditions that were undoubt-
eddy made the most of at the time, this
absolute power could not have been
seized by such a small minority, as Il
was, and it is remarkable that It has
been SO long maintained.

THE POPULAR IDEA.
But They Are Not All Innocent Men
Who Go to Siberia.

But They Are Not All Innocent Men
Who Go to Siberia.
There is popular idea that the
wastes of Siberia are peopled with men
who have been unjustly exiled from
Russia, and that the criminal is really
as difficult to find as the traditional
needle in the bunch of hay, says Tit
Bits. Facts, however, do not substanti-
ate this theory any more than they do
the large majority of popular impress
sions.
great sensation was created two or
three years ago by the finding of seven
Russian exiles or prisoners, who had
made their escape from Siberia They
were In ON open boat In the Pacific,
and were taken to San Francisco, where
they became the objects of popular
commiseration, as well as the text for
the denouncing of the Russian methods
OF dealing with political offenders.
The Californians, ever ready with
sympathy, gave them clothes and found
them work to do. 1t now appears that
during the interval that has elapsed be-
tween their arrival in San Francisco
and now every one of them has been
punished by the law of the land. The
last of the party has just been sentenced
to 81 years imprisonment for burglary,
while one Of his comrades only short
time ago was hanged for two murders
which he had committed.
Investigations which have been made
show that every one of these men had
been sent to Siberia for reasons which
would have earned him corresponding
period of exile from the haunts of his
fellowmen if not absolute deportation
from the country in any other part of
the world.

Why do not wheelmen one and all
take definite action toward forcing the
bicycle makers to produce an inter

thing that causes more woe and weari-

than the need to pump his tire, and
while he is in group of friends to find
not one nipple of pump that happens
to fit his machine. An interchangeable

ON the subject of American dried fruits
In Switzerland, United States Consul
German, at Zurich, speaks of the sue

and then, following out the prospect

ased in France, using French marks,
SO that the goods may be sold to the re-
taller as French fruit.
