Discoveries have recently been made
in the lava beds of New Mexico says
the Flagstaff Sun, which throw new
light on the very complete system of
reservoirs aud irrigation viaducts
which were employed by the ancient
inhabitants of that part of the country.
Under the lava which covers hundreds
of square miles are found traces of
cemented bitches and reseryois that
are marvels of civil engineering.
bitches wound in and out at the base
of the mountain ranges, following the
sinuosities of the canals In such
manner as to catch all the storm water
before it was absorbed by the loose
sand at the mountains base. Reser-
vols at convenient places stored the
water, which was led in cemented
bitches across loose soil to the various
points where it was required. Chasms
were crossed by viaducts..
