Azteo Calendar Explained.

What is claimed to be the correct inter
probation of the ancient Aztec calendar
was made public at the meeting Of the an
thropological congress in the Anthropo-
logical building at the Worlds fair.
Scholars of international reputation de-
clare it to be the most important discovery
in its way of the century, as it furnishes
key to much of tie ancient life and arts OF
ct least six different nations that inhabited
Mexico and Central America centuries
ago. The disclosure was made by wo-
man, Mrs. Zelia Nuttall, one Of the judges
Of ethnology at the fair, who read lengthy
paper before the congress, IN whleh she
explained the wonderful calendar.
