U. Uoble aeveral day ago near Summer lake. The akull la under the ob servation of Dr. W. A. Leonard a; lbs present time. Dr. Leonard Is examining a peculiar and al most unheard of tooth formation In the akull. The cuspid tooth of the upper row of teeth, tustead of extending downward from Its roots, and fit ting In line with the other teeth, protrudes upward, extending al most to the eye. Instead of being uf the normal size and shape, the tooth Is tapered down to a sharp point on the end, resembling more of an abbreviated tusk. While teeth have been known, very rare ly, to grow upward from the up per layer, among humans of the present day, the extraordinary site and shape of th petrified "tusk" leads examiner familiar with teeth anatomy to believe it entirely possible that a atrange physical race of people roamed the Oregon country hundreds of years ago. Dr. Coble la disappointed at not being able to locate the rest of tbe akeleton that other peculiar ities In anatomy might be reveal ed. The top of the skull was sticking out of the ground when Dr. Coble accldently came upon It. The rounded shape of the head. In Ita petrified stage, at first ap peared only to be a smooth round rock. Upon a more minute ex amination, however, Dr. Coble noted the seams of the skull and proceeded to unearth It. Appar ently the head had been severad from the body, for no tracea of the rest of tbe skeleton were to be found. According to Dr. Leonard, who has the akull in his office, mak ing a deep study of the abnor mal tooth, the skull 1 all of 500 years old. Exposed as It was to first the sun, and then the moisture, the top part of the skull, which pro truded aoove the surface of the ground, waa far more disinteg rated than that of the lower part of the head, which was buried beneath the surface. urn southward for the 690 L return (light to Kings Hay. mated flying time la be- Lot snd ten hours each way. j irn and Lincoln Kllsworia. rlraa member of ,tho ex sre narlsnting the two ilunK a course that ap- Ibe pole at right angles to iat path through the snow the Isle Admiral Hubert la 1909.
