SQUIRRELS DIG up FOSSILS.
Little tDigeers Reveal Ancient Indian
Graveyard.

Little 'Diggers Reveal Ancient Indian
Graveyard.
Santa Monica, Gala peculiar dis
scovery has been made,tof a fossil, bed
up the coast at the mouth of Topanga
canyon. Some years ago a man living
there unearthed some excellent speci-
mems OF fossils and supposed Indian
bones. Recently large heap of black
dirt was noticed at the edge of the
beach, and upon investigation it proved
to be the burrow of family of squir-
rels.
The little 'diggers had piled up on the
surface of the sandy soil perhaps 25O
pounds of black sand, in which were
pieces of clam shells, fossils and bits
Of human bone. There We're even rocks
weighing close to two pounds. The
dirt was just as it had been dumped
by the animals, and bones and fossils
were mixed together with the rocks
and sand. The bones have been iden-
tilted as those Of human beings, sew
eral specimens showing conclusively
that they at one time had constituted
the framework of a stalwart Indian
brave.
Theories have been advanced by men
interested in osteology, but no definite
conclusions have been reached. They
think that the bones are those Of In
dams, but that they are hundreds of
years old. The squirrels must have
burrowed many feet, or else the beach
In the years past was nearer to the
mountains than it is at present.
That Is natural, for the change Is
made by the yearly washing Of guam
titles of sand and rocks from the inte-
rior down to the mouth of the canyon.
The old burying ground is now prob
ably many feet below the surface, and
only the busy little ground squirrels
know the exact location Of the rest Of
the bones.

GALL|P0LI GUARDS
TURKISH PENINSULA
Was Once a Beautiful City,
but Has Gone to Decay.

Washington.-"The city of Gallipoli,
toward which the allied forces are
lighting, guards the neck Of the CALI
poll peninsula, where the peninsula
joins the mainland, near the elbow
formed by the Dardanelles strait and
the Sea Of Marmora," begins bulletin
issued by the National Geographic so
ciety. The description Of this key po-
sit1on to the best protected of all of the
worlds water avenues, a position to
which the interest Of all the nations is
now turned with much questioning,
continues:
"Gallipoli is the last bar that locks
the Dardanelles, and secures Marmora
sea as a Turkish lake. It is a power
fully fortified city, it's defensive works
having been begun in modern style in
1878, when the Russians threatened to
take possession Of Constantinople. The
work Of strengthening this port has
been carried on at irregular intervals
since. When the Bulgarians were at
lacking the lines at Chatalja, the
Turks, who felt that they might expect
an endeavor to turn their TANKS by
way of Gallipon and Marmora sea,
worked feverishly upon the ports re-
doubts. While Gallipoli is not COM
parable In strength to the greatest fort
resses Of Europe, it, nevertheless, with
it's modern batteries and extensive out
works, forms proper conclusion to
the nightly fortified water lane lead
Ing down to the Aegean sea.
This city beautiful Of the Greeks
(Kallipolis) was the first point in Eu-
rope to be won and maintained by the
Ottoman hordes. It is today anything
but a beautiful city. Its streets are
narrow, immethodical and dirty, while
most Of its houses are overworn wood
en- structures, in which decay and un-
t1diness mix to an unpleasing picture.
There are few buildings of any archi-
tectural interest, though the great lead
en- domed bazaars appeal to the 1magi-
nation Of the westerner. Some few and
uncared for relics Of eastern empire
and Grecian times have been left to
normal decay by the Turks.
Until Turkish occupation and the
putting into effect Of the suspicious, in
tolerant and shortsighted policies Of
exclusion and exclusiveness Of the
orient Gallipou seemed destined, as a
well placed port upon one Of natures
natural avenues Of water trade, to be-
come one Of the greatest of all the
commercial cities Of the near east.
Through the centuries Of Turkish rule
1t has slept an almost dreamless sleep.
Today, with population Of $4,000,
with few ambitions and little under
standing of its advantages, it has, how
ever, under the Young Turk regime,
given some evidence Of a reawaken-

submarine and that the speed of the
Lusitania, which he estimates was not
more than about fifteen knots, was not
increased. A few minutes later, the
doctor says, the ship altered her course,
which indicated to him that the ships
officers also had sighted the peril.
In relating the story Of his expert
ences DR.. Foss said he wished to pref
ace it with the remark that he "heart-
lily condemned the policy Of steam
ship line saving fuel at the expense Of
human life," his idea being that If
Captain Turner of the Lusitania had
been going at full speed or more than
twenty-five knots she would not have
been torpedoed.
DR.. Foss censured the conduct of
some stewards, stokers and other men,
bers of the crew, but praised the men
passengers for their attention to wom-
en-. and children. He noted a large
number Of the crew rushing up on deck
and equipping themselves with life
preservers, which they pulled out of
big chests on deck. They made no
effort, the doctor says. to assist the
women and children to find life belts.
After Dr. Foss had gone below. feel

mander had seen the submarine that

that everything would be done to elude
danger, the torpedo hit the ship for

OYSTER FARMING SUCCESSFUL;

Remarkable. Returns From First Prao-:
teal Experiment In Louisiana. II
New Orleans. - Remarkable returns
have resulted from the first practical
"oyster farming experiment the Loui-
siana state conservation commission
has undertaken in making use Of the
heretofore unused water bottoms of
the state.
/ Sample shells from the bottom of
Silver lake, in Terrebonne parish, have
arrived at the Office Of the conservation
commission, and, although planted nine
months ago, clusters of oysters, some
OF them Of marketable size, from eight
to fourteen In number, were growing
on each. These shells were the old on
"shucked" shells that were planted on
the bottom Of Sister lake, or Lake
Caillau, as it is sometimes called, to-
provide "clutch' for the young oyster
or "spat." #
This lake, having a water bottom of
800 acres, has the proper salinity' of
water for the growing Of oysters, but
lacked the necessary hard bottom or
other solids for the oyster "spat" to
attach itself and therefore prohibited
any experiment in the growing of the
bivalves.
Last year it was decided to SOW the
bottom Of the lake with the old oyster
shells, and on May 8, 1914, the commits
sion distributed 1O,498 barrels of old
shells over the lakes bottom, Results
were at once apparent, for by June
It was found that "spat" from the seed
oysters sowed in the lake had attached
and were in all stages of development.
Inspector J. Labat worked under the
direction of Frank T. Payne. The in
vestigations showed that the oysters
were growing at rapid rate.
In March, or nine months after the
clutch" was planted, the inspectors
tonged up clusters from various parts
of the lake and sent these to>the COM
mission for examination. The oysters
were remarkably rich in flavor and of
the priced salty taste.

ly the ally Of Austria and Germany If
she had followed her arrangement
with them she would have gone into
the war on their side. 1t was from
the very beginning apparent that she
would not do that Both sides were
e1erting every influence to enlist her,
and It was therefore inexpedient for
either belligerent to intrust it's diplo-
matte concerns to her.
Thus the United States from the be-
ginning was indicated as the central
Office Of diplomacy.
1t would be well nigh impossible to
catalogue the duties that fall to the
diplomat1c agents of the mutually
friendly power which takes over this
set Of relations when war breaks out.
In England, for instance, there was
large population Of Germans and Aus
TRANS. Some were naturalized; some
were not Many Of both classes were
property owners. Some were anxious
to get out Of the country; others were
just as anxious that they should not be
forced out of it. / American agents had
to look after their interests.
When the war got fairly under way
camps for prisoners of war began to
be established in all the warning coun-
tries. Complaints came from these, and
American diplomats had to look after
the interests of British and French and
Russian prisoners in Germany and Aus
tria and vice versa. Commissions have
been sent to supplement the efforts Of
the regular diplomatic establishment In
this regard.
Not the least dfmcult services Ne
quired of the American consulo: and
diplomats have been IN connection
with the colonial c1nternments: Of bel
ngerents. Thus there have been e.
tablished in India; in Canada and in
Australia special camps for taking
care Of citizens Of enemy countries.
Many hundreds Of men are held in
the big internment establishments,
while their families have required at
tention elsewhere because they have
not been formally interned, but left
largely to shift for themselves. These
cases have created a set of problems,
not new, to diplomacy, but never %
trge as In the present war.
