N Vanished People
interesting Relics of q Prehistoric Race
Recently Found in Peru.

The discovery of an old, old race IN
Peru, race that may have found the
first ways of civilization earlier than
the Sgyptians; a total revision of pre-
conceived notions concerning the his
tory of old Peru and the sway of the
lncas, and the revelation of hitherto
unknown races and nations which
5prang up, hourished and died on the
slopes of the Andes-these are the
most important results of the anthrop-
illogical work undertaken by the Uni
versity of California. For over two
years DR. Max Uhle, formerly of the
University of Berlin, has secured Peru
and adjacent countries in the search
for the relics and habitations Of
prehistoric race. The result is the ad
dition OF 140 cases of Peruvian relics
TO the coming museum OF the Uni
versity of California and the genesis
of new theory concerning prehistoric
Peru.
/ The theory, in brief. is that the In
cas-, the absolute rulers of the land
when She Spanish came, were lords Of
Peru only from comparatively modern
times. AnciAnt Peru, according to
the new theory. was the battle ground
/ of many and diverse nations and
/ tribes, which held dominion in turn
( before the Incas conquered the land.
/ As England since the dawn OF his
tory has been populated by many and
varied races, first Celts, then Britons,
then Danes, then SaXons and finally
Normans, so Peru was under the sway
from time to time of various races an1
tribes in the pure Indian population.
Some centuries before the Spaniards
came. before Pizarro swept the land
in his bloody conquest, the Incas, a
brave, hardy race, arose and swept
ali before them, so that at the time
of the conquest they held dominion
over all the land with the exception
Of some scattered tribes still keeping
up a sturdy opposition in the high
Andes.
But underlying all these various civil
lizations was another one, from which
they all proceeded. Some of the later
stages of civilization can be traced 10
various tribes which existed at the
time of the Spanish conquest, and, tor
that matter, exist now. Certain Gus
toms tribal observances, types of body
can be traced to the living descendants

time, stand in regions absolutely oe-
void of vegetation-barren deserts. In
other words since they rose anG fell
the climate of that region has had
time to change.
Possibly, and even probably, this
civilization was at one time the most
advanced upon the earth. There is
fair reason to believe that it was older
than the first civilization of Egypt.
that when the Egyptians. possessors
of the first and earliest civilization of
which we have record, began 80 leave
OFF hunting and to till the soil, these
nameless people were already farmers
and irrigators, dwelt in towns and
administered judgment under a tribal
government. OF this there is no proof
as yet, and while this may have been
the earliest civilization Egypt was yet
the cradle of modern enlightenment
In Peru progress went slowly, so that
there was little to choose between the
civilization of the Incastic period and
that of this earliest time, but Egypt
gave her light to other nations, who
carried it on.
The Peruviaps have vanished with
out trace. Not one great race, bur
many, has come and ruled through
centuries and died out; their heroes
have compelled men and gathered
them for battle; their poets have sung;
their captains conquered; their kings
, made laws, and of them all there are
left but skulls and ruins. The merest
babe that was born in one OF those
adobe dwellings and died before il
spoke its first word is as well remem-

But of the older. mightier civilization
mo trace is left. They, in common with
all the other Peruvians before the
coming of the Spaniards, had no sys-
TEN of writing. Their tribal name Is
lost, their language is a mystery. All
that remains clear is that at a time
not later than 1000 years ago, and in
all probability much earlier, they con-
trolled all the region which is now
Peru and that they had their main
fortresses and citadels among the up
per valleys of the Peruvian Andes.
From. his researches, from excava-
tions made among ruins and cemeter
les through all Peru, Dr. Uhle is able
to tell something of this people and
their habits. They were idol worship
ers, probably sun worshipers. Among
their ruins are several great pyramids
resembling the sun temples of the
Peruvians of Pizarro's time and many
idols and implements of rather fin
ished workmanship have been found.
They lived in fortified towns and built
great walls of adobe to guard their
fortresses. One of the largest of these
stretches almost three miles along the

Thomas A. Edison, Jr., has made
some brilliant inventions of his own
the latest of which promises to be one
Of the most important of the decade,
but he calls 1t an accidental discovery
With the cooperation of his uncle,
william Holzer, Thomas Edison, Jr,
has invented a cheap process for
toughening steel iron and copper. The
process is so simple that a ton Of
steel, the inventor says, can be treated
at a cost of only about 81. 1t is said
that the whole body of metal is thus
toughened and made homogeneous,
and 1t is claimed the process is su-
perior to the Krupp, Harvey, or any
known process. Expensive tests are
now being made by the British govern
ment with a view of adopting the new
process for armor plate. A company
Of which Thomas A. Edison, Jr.. is
president, has been incorporated with
a capital of s1,000O0O. The stock is
being placed on the market by Mr..
John A. Thompson, the well known
banker of 35 Wall street, who is secre-
tary and treasurer of the company.

of Science.

Sensational claims have been made
IN the English press in the past few
days in respect to an invention of a
new valve mechanism which has been
tried on the Great Northern railway.
It is asserted it will reduce coal con-
sumption 40 per cent, and that the
locomotive thus filled at lao pounds Of
steam will do more work than an or
binary one with 210 pounds. The
president of the road told stockholders
yesterday that its importance was
probably exaggerated.
1t may be said in this connection
that another invention which is really
epoch making, was recently perfected,
and will be soon announced. 1t has
been tested by the highest authorities,
who affirm it will revolutionize the
motive power of the world. 1t cannot
yet be described, but it comes from
Germany.

Europeans are just waking up to the
fact that the pressed steel freight cars
of American railways present great
advantages. The Pressed Steel Car
Company Of Pittsburg has delivered,
since 1896, more than 10000 cars Of
this class, which are now in use In
America, Australia, China, Japan, In
dia, Egypt, MeXico-besides very few
in South America and Europe. They
have carrying capacities varying from
fifty to 10 tons, while the ordinary
wooden car carries about thirty tons,
and the freight car of France, from
eight to twelve tons. The steel cars
are cheaper and last longer than the
older form and for load of forty-tive
to fifty tons have dead weight of
only fifteen tons, while wooden cars
carrying twenty-seven tons have a
dead weight of thirteen and a half
tons.
