HUMAN REMAINS
FOUND IN CAVES
IN CALAVERAS COUNTY UNIVER-

THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD.

BERKELEY. Cal, September 19.-It
is definitely announced that human
remains have been found in the lime
stone caves of Calaveras County by
the University of California anthrO-
biologists. The exploration OF these
caverns has been only part of the
general chronological survey of the
State undertaken several years ago
Is The department OF authropoiogy at
Berkeley, but it has proved to be one
of the most fruitful. The Shasta
caves, which were also exploited,
have yielded valuable bone treasures,
but nothing that could be distin-
guished as human remains, although
there are bone fragments which look
as if they had been whitfield rudely
by primitive savages.
The Calaveras caves have, however,
given mmistakable evidences of their
occupancy by ancient men. In at
least two of these CavernS human
bones have been eXhumed. The bones
We're covered with stalagtc depos

cry is of great scientific Importance,
for the remains are traceable to the
late quaternary epoch. In one of the
caves human bones were found by Pro-
fessor Frederick Ward Putnam and
Professor John c. Merriam in close
proximity to the fossil remains of a
"megalonyX" Tan ancient relative Of
the modern sloth and these animal
bones were also covered with stalag-
mite. Professor Putnam says that
while it has been Impossible to assert
that same of the bones are at least

that some of the bones are at feast
several thousand years old. The exam

day of universal iamentation.
But Wagner'S idea of Good Friday Is
very different. With him the day, in
stead of being one of woe, is one of
calm, peaceful and thankful joy, a joy
that springs from the knowledge of the
promise of redemption made by Christ
on the cross. According to Wagner, ma
tnre is never so bright and smiling as it
is on Good Friday: 1t is the beginning
of spring. the birds are singing THEN

bright spring flowers. and the trees are
brilliant In their new suits of green.

the accompaniment of some OF the most
beautiful music that was ever written,
Gurnemanz tells him that on Good
Friday the tears of repentant sinners
moistefl the earth and make all the grass

legend which was popular In the early
Christian lines In Italy and Spain when
Good Friday invariably came al the

to prove that Tom Paine wrote the

over which Herbert Spencer and Cold

would be pleased to receive a copy of
his book, DensIow decided to send him
one. He was ignorant of the exact adj
dress in London, but did not appreheno
any difficulty regarding the delivery of
the volume. Having properly inscribed
the fly leaf, he did the copy up and
mailed it to Herbert Spencer, London,

Months passed and Denslow maryeled
that he had not received SO much as a

The longest fence in the world is prob
ably that which has been erected by
the Erie Cattle Company along the
Mexican border. It is seventy-five miles
in length. and separates exactly for
its entire distance the two republics OF
North America. The fence was built to
keep the cattle from falling an easy
prey TO the Mexican COW punchers. Al
though it cost a great deal of money,
ii is estimated that cattle enough will
be saved in one year to more than pay
for it. 1t is a barbed-wire fence with
