WHALING WAY UP
IN THE MOUNTAINS
Remarkable Fossils Found in Southern
California Hills-Good Specimens
in Demand for Museums All
Over the World

Directly back of the old mission of
San Juan, Cal, in quiet, out of the
way region which is still asleep, there
is some very good quail shooting. In
following the birds a sportsman came
across a man at work on the side of a
cliff with a pickaI. He was not a gold
miner, that was evident, as he had no
washer, but he had worked out a big
round object. which resembled more
than anything else a seat.
I'm a whaler," he answered with a
grin to question. Sure look at that,
and he indicated the round object.
Piece of a whales backbone, amt it?
and the whole critter lies here, 1900 feet
above the ocean. The weather, rains,
wash them out; they roll down the
mountain side and I trace them up.
It's just as exciting as whaling at sea,
and then / don't have to divVy with
the whole crew.
What are they good for? l sell them
to museums if | can, and if l can't do
that l grind them up and make phos-
pilates out of them. It's mighty hard
to get a perfect whale. Some died a
natural death i'm lagoons, and of course
they We're eaten up and the bones
hauled about and separated; but most
of these mountain whales were bagged
when the whole coast went into the
air, I'm not a geologist, so you can
! tatke it for what it is worth, but it S
my opinion that the entire coast noun
tains We're lifted with a rush, there
was an awful earthquake and a strip
of land that had been under water for
miles off shore was tossed upward and
the coast range made. OF course every
thing went with it, and hundreds of
whales found themselves on tops of
mountains with the water rolling back
to the west. In some places there
| must have been twenty miles of sea
| bottom exposed. That's what hap
pened a. Los ngeles. one of the best
whales l ever saw was caught when
the ground Los Angeles rests on was
shot up, and that is twenty miles from
the nearest water today
1.-THE Los Angeles whale was found
when the cut was made through First
street. The street went directly through
the middle Of the back of a whale, so
they got all the middle Vertebrae, but
the head and tail are under valuable
houses. The animal was lying on its
side.
"I've found the remains of half a
dozen whales within ten miles along
this range, and the place has been
skinned of all its surface bones long
time ago. At many ranches you VIII
find these sections of Vertebrae, which
the old timers sed as seats, and when
they could get the jaw bones they set
them up for gateposts."

The negro's love of titles of whatever
sort is amusingly illustrated by a story
told by the governor of southern
state.
1t appears that the congregation of a
colored church in Georgia conceived
the notion that it would add greatly
to their dignity if the pastor of the
church We're enabled to add the initials
ID. D." to his name. A member, hear
ing of an institution in the north
which would, for value received, con-
fer such a degree. entered into cOrre-
spondence with that end in view. Re-
ply came to the effect that the sum
of SIS would obtain the desired dignity.
A difficulty arose, however, in that
the congregation were unable to raise
more than $39. Finally, after much
confabulation, the congregation dele
gated one of their number to see the
thing out. Accordingly the following
message was sent to the institution
mentioned:
KINDLY forward our pastor one ID,
we being unable to afford the other at
this ime."-Harper's Weekly.
