THE SIZE AMAZING.
The size Of some of the castles built by these
ancestors of the Pueblo Indians was amazing.
In New Mexico there are ruins of buildings
which in size and grandeur equaled any of the
department structures at Washington. One Of
them has surrounding wall 935 feet long and
feet high. the erection of which required So
900 pieces OF stone. In putting up the huge
rock-shelter fortresses stone and mortar had to
be carried hundreds of feet up the precipitous
face OF the canon cliffs. The labor involved
must have been gigantic
Early man disputed the ownership of caverns
with the hyena, the tiger and the bear. Easily
displacing those brutes he improved the ac-
commodations provided by nature deepening
and widening the recesses. He added to their
security and comfort by raising slabs of stone
to close the entrances. and finally walled them
in with strong masonry. Later on he dug
hollows out Of soft places in the rock thus
forming the first artificial shelters. In various
parts of the old world countless cave dweR-
ings. very much like those of Colorado and
New Mexico. They are plentiful in Asia and
Africa. In certain regions of both continents
the hills are fairly honeycombed with caverns
natural and ar ticial which once were inhabited
by human beings. Many of them are so occu-
pied to this day. There are cave-dwelling
tribes in India now.

CAVES CARVED By TIE wiSDs.
The caves which they occupied we're carved
out by the winds. Wherever a stratum of soft
sand or chalky and friable material was exposed
on the cauyon's side between layers OF hard
rock the breeZes sweeping through the gorge
blew away the loose stuff. leaving hollows. The
eolian cavities thus created being overhung by

cave. II Is difficult to see how such a strong
hold could have been attacked with success by
any foe, however strong numerically, SO long as
the food and water of the besieged held out.
In the walls described there was only one very
small entrance, which could be blocked at a
moments notice. Behind the wall the whole
space of the cavern was occupied by buildings.
