Ancient Mexico.

Readers who know anything of Central
America-Yucatan, part of Mexico and
Guatemala, and the wonderful ruins of
temples and towns built in ages long,
long ago-will hear with pleasure that
scientific archaeological expedition is to
be sent under the authority of France
and the United States, to make further
explorations in that mysterious country.
The chief promoter of the expedition is
Mr.. Peter Lorillard, of New York, by
whom the greater part of the cost will
be borne. In numbers and equipment
nothing will be lacking; casts of the inn
portant bas-reliefs and inscriptions will
be taken, whereby scholars in all parts
of the world will be enabled to study
relics of eivilization not less interesting
than the old monuments of Egypt and
Assyria. From what is already known,
it is supposed that the builders of these
temples had intimate relations with Cam
bodia and Java, if they were not actually
emigrants from those countries. Inter
esting affinities have been made out by
linguistic students, some OF whom be-
ieve that the table-land of Peru, and not
that of Asia, was the cradle of the human
race; and that the Hittites of Scripture,
during their wanderings settled in Peru,
and erected the buildings which now ex-
cite our astonishment. Hence it will be
understood that something may be dis
covered that will throw light on primeval
history. The hill-country of Yucatan is
almost unknown. It is reported that the
inhabitants fierce tribe named Mayas
-"have reconstructed the old towns
with their forts and temples, and revived
many of the customs, laws, and idola-
trous rites of their forefathers." The
explorers will visit these people, and
also endeavor to find traces of the tribes
that preceded the Aztecs Chambers

A Silver Lamp Three Hundred Years
Old.

While engaged in improving the
ground around the old Catholic church
IN Ysleta some parties dug out of the
ground large silver lamp. Investiga-
ton and research proved that it had
been brought over to this country from
Spain about 1543 by Cordovan, the
well-known prospector and settler. The
lamp Is OF the very finest silver and
very, heavy and valuable. 1t was sent
to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where it was
cleaned and FURNISHED and returned to
the church, an object of curiosity as
we'll as valuable relic and ornament.
This church was constructed in the
year 1880, under the auspices of the
franciscan friars.-H Paso Times. IS
