In q quaint old geography which
once had tho good fortune to own, the
western coast of South America was
decorated with tiny figures of men and
women, among whom meandered the
words, 1.-THE Land Of the Pigmies.
More modern maps make no mention Of
such people, and i had forgotten that !
ever believed in their existence, when ]
happened lately TO come upon them
again.
A few months ago, perched on the
summit Of one Of the highest Of the
Peruvian Andes, were discovered the
ruins Of a wonderful pigmy city, the
home of o race Of dwarfs, and some OF
its most interesting relics-all that were
transportable-are now ON their way
northward, to find resting place in our
national museum at the Smithsonian
institution in Washington.
From these discoveries it appears that
the old belief in tiny race inhabiting
the lowlands on the Pacific coast was
well founded. There the little people
lived unmolested, SO far as we know,
for an indefinite time, till they were at
last driven back upon tho mountains by
q larger and stronger race. Then they
built and occupied the deserted city
which today excites our wonder
