sword and FIRE, the soldier asd the priest
could not do the rail xay to-day is doing.
Hence the occasion of these hurried
sketches. This year there is opened to
American travel an entirely nes land
new not merely in soil. but in interest,
suggestion and historical study. Hither-
to travelling in the United States has been
confued to the seeing of natural wonders
or the exploring of natural resources.
The aesthetic element of travel, the
stimulus which leads our educated So
ciety to Europe or ancient Asia and A.
RIGA, has never found any satisfaction in
an American tour. To-day we open a
new page. At this moment railway
rests with it's duplicate termini entering
at two points what is possibly the most
ancient seat of civilization or human life
on this continent. A visit tn southern
Colorado and New Mexico opens up now
not merely natural scenery, grand and
lovely as that is here, but whole new
fields of social study, historical investiga-
ton and the picturesque in common life.
A visit to this region affords oppor-
tunity for the study of five great and
distinct fields Of social history and re-
search:
First-The Spanish American civiliza-
ton of North America.
Second--The modern fire. worshipping
Indians. known as Pueblos, Moquis and
sometimes by other local names.
Third-The remains of the buried Az
tee cities.
Fourth-The rough and resis.less from
tier life of our own nation now extending
its advance picket lines southwark.
Fifth-To these may be added proba-
bly, another: The remains of the cliff.
dwellers, who we're possibly pre-Adam-
lite or prehistoric race, although this is
not absolutely clear.
Each of them represents distinct civ
ilization, some of them now lost and all
of them in existence, or remains picture
esque and suggestive.
Up to this time scientific research has
been substantially confined to few ira.
ditional fields in the Old World, and Gu
riosity and pleasure have followed in its
wake, allured by Legendary or historic
associations. To-day it looks as if the
scene might suddenly shift and the
search for the solution of historic prob.
lens be transferred suddenly to our very
doors.
All these interesting fields of study
and research lie now close around US, as
far as times and means of communities
ton 60; some of them accessible by rail
and all of them nearly so. And it can
not be but that this year they will be
explored by the active and most aggres.
rive scientific and historical students of
both hemispheres.
