PRIMEVAL NORTH AMERICA.
Population Spread orrhyvurd ns the
Ice belt Hcccded, M Indicated
by Signs OF PrOEreSa.

The primcval people Of both North
and south America originated from
civilization OF high degree which oc-
cupird the suhcquaiorial belt some
10000 wears ago while the glacial sheet
was still on, says liarrcr's Magazine.
Population spread "uorthward as the
ice rcceded. Routes Of rNo,!us diyerg-
ing from the central point uf departure
are plainly marked by ruins and rec
ords. The subsequent settlements in
Mexico, Arizona. New Mexico, Colo
RADIO, Utah and California Indicate the
successive stages Of advance. as wei!
as the persistent struggle to maintain
the ancient civilization against re-
version and c~arastrophrs Of nature.
The varying architecture Of the valleys,
cliffs and mesa> is an ineligible ex-
preston Of the cSigcncirS which slim
ulated the builders. The gradual dis
"tribution Of population over the high
or ATTITUDES in after years was supple
mcHtcd by accrctiOns from Europe and
northern Asia centuries before the
coming Of Columbus. Wars and re-
prisals were the natural and inevitable
results of n mixed and degcneratinp
population with different dialects. The
mounds which cover the mid.conti-
mental areas, ISOLATED and in groups,
tell the story thereof. The Corean i'm
migration of the year 54+. historically
cited. which led To the founding OF
the Mexican empire in 1928. was but an
Incidental contribution TO the growing
population of North America. So. also,
were the very much earlier migrations
from Central America across the Gulf
of Mexico.
