Is believed to be almost it's exact counter
part. The age of these mounds antedates
any tradition concerning them among the
North American Indians. Like others
scattered about in different parts of the
United States, they have figured promi-
nently in various romantic theories OF an
early race, differing from the Indians,
and was finally either exterminated by
them or driven into Central America,
there to become the precursors of the
civilization discovered and destroyed by
the Spaniards. Modern archaeology. I'M
fortunately for the romance of the story,

explanation that still leaves sufficient

However that may be, ahoki is the
king of all American mounds. 1t covers
nearly fourteen acres of land, and stands,
as has been said by Professor Putnam of
Harvard, in the same relation to other
mounds as the Great Pyramid of Egypt

taken for it's permanent preservation and

value in the growing study Of American
archaeology. "

visitor concluded, after an examination Of
the other smaller mounds, that n very
populous town had once existed here, sim
liar to those of Mexico described by the
first conquerors. The mounds were sites
of temples, or monuments TO great men,"
Another later writer, referring to Cahokia,
has said; ut is probable that upon this
platform was reared "a capacious temple,
within whose walls the high priests, gath
cred from different quarters at stated sea-
sons, celebrated their mystic rites, whilst
the swarming multitudes below looked up
in mute alteration" Modern archaeology
discredits the 'capacious temple" although
1t accepts the probability of swarming null
titudes and the likelihood that one of the
largest human-made piles Of earth in the
world had a religious purpose. Mr.. Bush

the fact that the largest structures raised

to have n religious significance.

the answer may be patiently awaiting the
moment when the mound is carefully tun-

that Of other relics of the Mound Builders,
its age was once thought to be undoubt-

TO this belief It might have antedated the
ruins that nave been discovered in Central
America and a theory has even been put
forward that would carry 1t back to the
mythical lays of Atlantis. when a great
convulsion of nature was supposed to have
destroyed communication between the
eastern and western continents, before that
time united in n single body of land.
Modern archaeology has very much re-
duced, without absolutely disproving, the
likelihood of this remote antiquity, and the
evidence so far gathered from the almost
countless ruins that dot the valley of the
Mississippi and it's tributaries disproves
also the earlier belief that the race which
made them must have been materially diff
ferent from the Indian tribes, who after
ward inherited them. The absence OF In
