OF five men swear that the boat should
either carry the flag across the Atlantic
to some European port or ii should sink
with the ship. Commodore George
Emener, who gave the flag to the ad-
venturous yoyagers, saw to IL that the
little craft was we'll supplied with stores
and gasolene, and when the lines were
finally cast off from the club float at
$50 y. IN. "all hands" gave them three
cheers and a gun was fired in their
honor.

a perfect fossil Of a huge sea tortoise
which Hector Alliot. curator Of the
Southwest Museum, pronounces the
most important discovery of the kind
ever made in Southern California. Don
Ion has a bee ranch and was seeking
rock to hold down the lid Of the hive
when he saw a shell protruding from
the ground. He dug it up and 1t proved
a solid stone, weighing one hundred
pounds and showing the exact mark
ings and even some of the original color
on the back and yellow bottom. The
specimen is nearly thirty inches in diam

Alliot estimates it as 4O0, 900 years old,
and beyond doubt the most ancient ever
picked up on the Western Hemisphere.

California and all other territory this
side of the Rocky Mountains was still a
mile or two under water. When that
great earth spasm occurred which lifted
the peaks of Shasta, Rainier and Whit

land into being this tortoise undoubtedly
perished, and, already petrifed, was sub
sequently rolled and ground in glacial
period ice for 10000 years. The marks
Of this show clearly. One flipper is in
tact. The head and edges Of the shell
were oblterated. Hundreds of large
petrified clans were found embedded ir
