The civilization of Peru began about
the same time as that of Mexico. about
500 years prior to the landing of Column
bus. 1t is attributed to Manic, the first
Peruvian king of the Incas line, who es-
tabished the empire on firm basis. He
connected the country by number of
straight roads, often 100 miles in extent,
and all connected with the capital.
Along these roads were placed houses
of repose and entertainment for the
kings runners. Agriculture received
much attention, and, ON account of the
scarcity of rain prevalent in that region,
the fields We're watered by canals led in
from rivers and lakes. The people cult
waited maize, potatoes, and cotton, and
had quite an extensive commerce.

Peruvians is an interesting study. They
were much more developed in this re-
spect than their southern neighbors, and
