The discovery of huge mammal, on
fish, has been made two miles north
of Hueneme, near the Lehman ranch,
and there ~ considerable speculation
on the part of the fishermen and resi-
dents Of this district as 10 What the
thing Is. The body is largely decayed
50 trdt there is not much more than a
skeleton with a pile of heavy. scaly
skin. The body is As feet in length
but there are evidences that pant of
it has been swept away by the tides.
There is a lower jaw seven feet long
and resembling that of a sword fish
in shape. TIE ribs siick out four or
five feet and the vertebrae are at
least Is inches in diameter. Condi-
tons would indicae th9t the body wa

OFFICIALS TAKE AEROPLANE.
Wright Brothers Will Get $4,000 for
Their EIYing Machine.

Washington.-The Wright aeroplane
which successfully completed the test
required of it was formally accepted
by the government Saturday. The two
brothers called at the war department
| this morning and were informed by
General Allen, chief of the signal SER
vice corps, who has had jurisdiction
of the matter, that the machine hav-
! ing met all the requirements, was en-
tirely satisfactory and now becomes
government property. In addition to
the contract price of $4,000 for the
machine, the Wright Brothers will re-
ceive $4,000 bonus for two miles speed
per hour in excess of the government
requirement. This was determined
| by the official figures of the remark
able flight yesterday. These were
made public today and show that the
aeroplane covered the distance from
| Fort Myer to Shooters Hill at the rate
of S7.735 miles per hour and returned
at the rate of 47.431 miles. The mean
between the two places is 42.5SS miles
per hour, which stands for the record
|
for two man areoplane, in a cross
country flight.
As to their future plans, the broth
ers are not yet sure. One of them will
go to Germany where the completion
of large contract awaits them. They
have not decided which. one will go.
They are also planning to sell areo-
planes to individuals at about $500
each for exhibition flights.
Orville left for Dayton this after
noon with his sister Katherine.
1t is understood that Wilbur will re-
main to instruct two army officers in
the use of the aeroplane, according to
contract These two officers will be
