ift rebrualry near the hamlet of Roblate l,$
miles southeast of Paan Robles. Van. R.
Elliott, a surveyor, was helping W,
Qlllie, superintendent of the San Lula
Obispo Orchard Company, to run some
new lines over the big tract. As they aur-
veyed they came upon a stretch of rocky
ground front whidii the rain had washed
the thin covering of soil. They saw some-
thing that looked like a skeleton embedded.
in the rock, but on investigating more
carefully. found that the skeleton was part
of the rock itself. The finders wrote to
President Jordan about it, but art the uni-
versity had no funds available for the re-
covery and identification of fossilized per-
sons, the matter woe dropped until a few
weeks ago, when Dr. Jordan went to Ban
Luis Obispo to attend a convention of
teachers. His attentton was again celled
to the matter, and he madea trip back
into the hills to see the thing for himself.
He was so impressed with it that be deter,
mined to have the curio cut out of the
:rook and removed to Palo Alto for study.
Prof. J. P. Smith of the geological depart-
ment of the university took charge, and
with J. H. Means, a postgraduate student
in geology, went to Roblan a week ago.
They found that removal, waa impossible
with the time and the facilities at their
command, and, so, as the next best thing,
made a plaster cast of the fossil. This cast
is now on exhibition in the geological mu-
,seum at Stanford.
Prof. Smith was asked about the fossil
and in reply gave these facts: "The fossil
1.. in the condition of a cast or mold in hard
rock, very much indurated end weathered.
Here and there are seen traces of bones as
e� idence that it was not carved by some
.practical joker. The specimen is 87 inches
long 16 inches wide and consists of a back-
bone and ribs, with what maybe traces of
the pelvis. The number of vertebrae and
ribs cannot be accurately made out, The
rocks in the vicinity contain numerous in-
vertebrate marine shells, and are undoubt-
edly of salt water origin, although they
now lie 1,400 feet above sea level. Thus it
is easily seen that the animal, whatever it
may have been, is older than the San Luis
Obispo Mountains. The rocks are of the
miocene tertiary age, known as the white
shale or the Monterey series of Prof. Law-
son." Fossilized human remains have
been found only as far back as quaternary
times. A ekuli was dug up from the pia
ocene tertiary Lava beds of Calaveras
County in 1866, but it has not been gener-
ally accepted by geologists as authentic.
It is also very doubtful as to whether the
Calaveras lava is of the tertiary of quater-
nary age. Several years ago a supposed
fossil man was found in the miocene ter-
tiary.of France, but this was proved a
'fraud. Thus the occurrence of human re-
mains in the middle tertiary age is very
doubtful, since the upper miocene, the
pliocene and the whole of the quaternary
periods have elapsed between that time
and this. It is impossible to measure this
extent of time accurately in years or even
in centuries but it must have been several
hundred thousand years, since in that time
has accutaulated the greater part of the
thick mass of sediment out of which the
coast range bas been formed. The fossil
might possibly be an anthropoid ape, but
this, too, is very unlikely, since, although
this class of simiadae can be traced as far
back as the middle miocene, they were
,confined to the land. Then, too, in the
same rocks with the supposed man are
found other vertebrate, remains of por-
poises or other cetaceans. The "man fos-
sil" might be the young of one of these.—

not long ago the 10 -year-old approached
her mother in evident perturbatiou and
announced that she didn't know what
would become of Annie, if she contin-
ued to address the throne the way she
did. The parent was naturally anxious
and inquired what the young lady was
doing that caused her pious medita-

SENTENCE OF PONTIUS PILATE.
The following is a correct transcript
of the sentence of Pontius Pilate, the
most memorable judicial sentence
which- has ever been uttered by human
lips in the annals of tbe world :
entente pronounced by Pontius
Pilate, Intendant of Lower Galilee.
that Jesus of Nazareth shall suffer
death by they cross. In the seventeenth
year oft Elie reign of the Emperor Ti-
berius End on the 25th of March, in the
most choly city of Jerusalem, during
pontijl.cate of Annas and Caiphus,
Pontittb Pilate, Intendant of the Pro-
vince of Lower Galilee, sitting en judg-
ment1tt the presidential chair of the
praetor, .sentences Jesus of Nazareth to
death on a cross, between two robbers,
as the numerous testimonies of the
people prove that (1) Jesus is a mislead -
et; (2) he had excited the world to se-
ditiofferrhu is 'an eneff1y to the laws:
he fa cattle himails himself

It likewise order° the firto st centurion,

sons, rich and poor, to,prevent the exe-
cution of Jesus.
The: witnesses who' have signed the
execution against Jesus are: (1)lDaniel

(3) Raphaal Robani; (4) Capet. Finally
it orders that the said Jesus be taken

There seems to be no historical' doubt
as to the authenticity of the above
document, and it ie, obvious that the
reasons of the eenteecd correspond ea-
actly with thdto recorded in the Gos-

The curious document was discover-
ed in A.D., 1280, in the city of Aquill.
in the kingdom of Naples, in the course
of a search being made for the discov-
ery, (Mellower; antiquities, and it re-
mained there until it was found by the
commissaries of art in the French army
of Italy. ' Up to the time of the cam-
paign m South Italy it was preserved
to the sacristy of the Carthuslrtns, near
Naples, where it was kept in a box of
ebony:
Since then the relic has been kept in
the Chapelo Caserta. • The Carthusians
obtained by petition, leave that the
plate might be kept by them as an ac-
knowledgement of the sacrifices which
they had made for the French army.

The reasons assigned by the school com-
mittee for the discontinuance of slates,
slate pencils and sponges in the public
schools and the substitution of paper, lead
pencils and rubber erasers in their places
are as follows:
1. A light gray mark upon a slightly
darker grey surface is more or less indis-
tinct and trying to tbe eyesight.
2: The resistance of the hard pencil upon
the hard slate is trying to the muscles,
and the resistance to which the muscles
are thus trained must be overcome when
beginning to write with pencil or pen upon
paper.
8. The use of slates, slate pencils and
sponges is a very uncleanly custom and
leads to and establishes very uncleanly
habits.—Boston Globe.

Coring Cross Eyes.
Strabismus or "cross eyes" are now
safely and almost painlessly corrected.
The desired result may be obtained by
the wearing of proper spectacles in early
youth, but if the evil is not then corrected,
an operation, later on, will be necessary.
The removal of a "cataract" from the
eye is one of the most delicate operations
performed by the oculist: A cataract is
formed by the lens of the eye becoming
opaque so as to appear grayish or other-
wise, when it shuts out the light from the
optic nerve. The oculist of to -day cuts
into the'ball of the eye and removes the
darkened lens, and the optician supplies
the defect by artificial lenses that make
good the sight.
The demand for glass eyes is increasing
as the character and quality of the eyes.
improve. Unsightly eyeballs are now re-
moved in part, leaving enough of the mus
cies to rotate the glass shell that is placed
over them. Where the work is properly
done the possessor of the glass eye can
move it about with all the naturalness of
a real optic, and in many cases it is very
difficult to tell the manufactured article
from the genuine.
All the wild stories about substituting
rabbits' eyes for human eyes, or the state-
ments to the effect that oculists can take
eyes from their sockets, wipe them on a
coarse towel and restore them unimpaired
to the happy patient, are all moonshine,
and any one who is called upon to listen
to any such tales 1r fectly justified if,
under such circuu 'te should wink

FEAR AS A CAUSE OF DEATH.
The Imagination a Potent Factor in /to -
salting a Fatal Disease.
"Of the whole number of persons sup-
posed
upposed to die of disease," said a prominent
physician the other day, "I should say
that at least fifty per cent. are really can
ried away by fear. Were it not for thte
element mortality would be far less than
it is."
In support of his statement he cited
various cases where the element of fear
had entered largely in as a potent factor to
persuade people that their time had come.
Presentiments, prophecies, premonitions
and general nervousness all played their
part, On the other hand, a short time ago
a patient of a New York hospital was
frightened into getting well. This man
was brought in an ambulance, supposedly
dying from heart failure.
He was laid on a table and a diagnosis
showed him to be suffering from hysteria.
The surgeon turned to ono of his &seist-
ants and, asking for a knife, remarked
that he would cut down to the heart, and
find out what the trouble was. The pa-
tient gave a yell, and leaping from the
table started for the door. Remonstrance
was in vain. That man was cured and
never came back. '
Some years ago four criminals,condemn-
ed in Russia to die, were taken to a house
end shown several beds, in which they
were told a number of cholera patients
had died. As a matter of fact, the beds
sero new, never having been eleptin. The
criminals were informed that they would
be set at liberty if they would undergo the
ordeal of sleeping several nights in the
beds. From the prisoner's point of view
it was a possible, though desperate, chance
to escape. They one acid ell decided to
take the chances. At the end of tee time
prescribed, two were unitijttred and went
free; but the others developed all the symp-
toms end died ofeestatio cholera.
Two physician'' determined to take ad-
vantage of the impressionable mind of a
female patient and prove a theory for the
benefit of science, The lady had complain-
ed of an itching on her back. She was
told that a blister would be applied. In-
stead, a rommon postage stamp was appli-
ed, and, so runs the chronicle, performed
all the offices of the plaster which was not
there.
A college professor was once the subject
of a practical joke at the hands of the
students. They met him one after an-
other, and each successively inquired after
his health, saying that he looked i11. He
took to his bed, a physician was called
and for days the professor imagined he
was ill.
