Charnay, in his Ancient Cities OF the New

OF the Temple OF the Sun" at Palenque,
and. opposite, a picture OF japanese
temple The one is almost a counterpart
Of the other. but Mr.. Charnay limits his
remarks to asking how this resemblance is
TO be el lplained and stating that theory
might be started with respect TO the prob
able Asiatic origin Of the Toltec tribes.
In his beautiful work he does not appear
to have any knowledge OF Fusang and its
historical discoverer, old Hwui Shan or, If
he does. he ignores him. He seems to be-
lieve that the Japanese carried on steady
trafric formerly on the coast OF North
America. "as also by fortuitous immigra
tions resulting from shipwrock." Later
he compares the stucco has reliets on the
ruined nunnery at Chichen Itza to Chinese
carvings These ruins are in the true
country OF the Mayas.
Elephants heads on some Of the Ameri-
can ruins have excited the wonder of all

Of Yucatan analogous to those Of the Budd-

archipelago, with the same kind OF inches
in which the cross LEGGED god Buddha sits

In view OF all this evidence II seems
that we must accept Hwui Shans discov-

It is greatly to be desired that the United States will do nothing to stop the circulation of Can idian money in Alaska. The business connection betweenSkagway, and other Alaskan localities, ard Canadian points, both in the interior and on the coast to the south, is so close that 1t is almost essential that the currency of either country circulate at par in the other. The greater portion of the business of this city is with Canadians and those doing busi- ness in Canada, and if tax be placed upon the exchange of Canadian money 1t will work serious hardship on the business men of the city. There are now thousands of dollars spent in this city which would not be if Canadian money. were not taken and freely exchanged. It would seem that our government has done enough to de- stroy industry and discourage trade in Alaska without increasing the handicap at this time. '
