Buried Cities Of America.

Recent explorations in Central
America and Southern Mexico go
far to confirm the belief held by
many archaeologists that America is
extremely old.
In the State of Chiapas a fine
broad paved road, built by prehis-
toric inhabitants, has been traced
from Tonala down into Guatemala,
and thence in curve up again into
Mexico, terminating at Parlenque.
All along this road are still to be
seen the remains of ruined cities, and
careful estimate Of the one time
population Of these places is about
thirty millions.
On that part of the road near Pa
lenque the ruins are of great magni-
tude. Houses four and often five
stories high have been found in the
ueptn OF Jne IOreSG.
Many of these houses are pyra-
midal in form, and so covered are
some of them with vegetable mold
that large trees are growing from
the roofs.
In some of the houses employ
ment has been made Of stone beams
of tremendous weight, and the archi-
lecture indicates a high degree of
science.
In some OF the houses visited
bronze lamps have been discovered
and the interior and exterior decora-
tions of the more important houses
consist of panelling, filed with elab.
orately carved figures, almost life
size, two types of men and women
being represented, some plainly
Egyptian and others genuine Afri-
car.
In front of one Of the houses the
explorers found fourteen sculptures
of gods with folded arms.
Another discovery was that an
enormous paved road extends from
Palenque across Yucatsn to the Is
land of Cozumel, and is continued
on the island.
Palenque explorers assert that
they have discovered in the edifices
before mentioned, examples Of a per.
feet arch. One explorer is scientif-
ically trained man, who has recently
arrived from India, and by his ac-
counts the region from Chiapas to
Yucatan must have been the seat OF
a densely populous nation.
Possibly it may never be known
who these strange people were, as
they have apparently left no litera-
ture behind them. But in the light

LONDON, Sept. 22.-From Austria
comes the report or the inveation Of
another new smokeless gunpowder.
A correspondent telegraphs that it
has greater carrying power than
ordinary gunpowder, and creates O
very thin transparent smoke, which
is so light that Immediately after
firing one shot aim can be taken
again. III has no smell whatever.
