This Continent in History.


This G Continent in History.
illustrated American.
Science and survey are bent on
proving that this continent is by
no means the raw young patch OF
earth early discoverers believed.
Indeed, if investigation goes on,
the continent discovered by Co,
lumbus will in time prove to be
the elder earth-the sceneof mans
first activities, if not his most inn
pressiye deeds. The mystery that
sperplexed the spaniards Of cortez,
the Gauls of early centuries, in
their incursions upon the northern
coast, have been, within the last
ten years, increased by the resur-
1ection of evidences of past peo-
Z ,.es and industries, which seem
to make these continents coeyal in
the appliances of civilization with
the earliest occupation of Europe
and Asia. Mexico and Central
America have been steadily yield
ing evidences of what is. loosely
called prehistoric habitation. I'M
plements of art, handlcraft and
industry quite as ingenious as the
resurrected remnants of Pompell
and Herculaneum. are turned up
all along the Gulf of Mexico. The
remnants on the Rio Grande and
New Mexico elicit the deepest IN
terest of the archaologist. In
Texas the other day a vagrant IN
yestigator came upon monument
that fairly startles the learned
world, and will result presumably
in new theory of the original
settlement Of the continent. A
wall, twenty miles long, over fifteen
feet high, and equally thick, is
found, running northeast and
southwest, near the present pros
porous town of Milano.
The top level of this extraordi-
nary structure is far below the
present surface, which is made up
of a thick layer of loan and the
debris that accumulates over long
neglected ruins. The discoyerer
pronounces the wall as in Nevery
sense as solid and well built as that
long time wonder, the great granite
decentralization of China. Eviden-
ces remaiL that originally the wall
was fanked at regular distances,
which would indicate that this
enormous structure was built by
one people as defense against
another. There are evidences OF
inscriptions hele aad there on
the entablatures, but the characters
are in a tongue unknown to modern
linguists, and until the key is dis
covered the ruins will serve no
definite scientific ends save as proof
that no part of the worlds old Of
