cities aud other collections of human
dwellings less pretentious have excited
archaeological interest and popular i'm
agination to high degree.
In New Mexico and Central America
some as yet unexplained and undeciph
cred inscriptions, hieroglyphic or other
wise, have long been known to exist. The
latest and perhaps queerest discovery is
that made within month, of an ancient
monument inscribed with what appears
to be Chinese characters, which, Judging
by appearances, may have been there for
many centuries. This monument is in
the state of Hermosillo, Mexico, and the
government commission sent to examine
it is on the way back. They have taken
copies of all the characters, and will sub
NIT them to some Chinese scholar for
translation. They are convinced of their
antiquity and of their genuineness.
This opens quite field for specula-
tion as to whether the Chinaman who
soul ptured that ancient stone did so
before he left his original home or
while on a voyage of discovery before
Columb bus came. The Chinese would not
hesitate in all probability to claim the
discovery of America, if they thought
there was anything to be made by such
claim. They already lay great claims to
antiquity; and precedence of everybody
and everything else upon earth. Why
shouldn't they claim to be the original,
or aboriginal Americans?
