RUINS OF OLD CITIES.
Recent Remarkable Discoveries of
Ancient Buildings i'm COahutla.
New York Herald.


OF the National Museum OF Mexico. has returned
to the City of Mexico. after stay Of two weeks
in the State OF Coahuila. where he made
eral important Investigations Of the recent finds
of cities and animals of antediluvian times
In giving an account Of his trip the doctor said:
The discoveries made at Pardon. in Goa
hula, are the most extraordinary that have been
made in Mexico and possibly In re world.
The excavations made so far show that large
city was buried not far from the present town
which was evidently washed down from the
mountains by food How long ago the catas-
Portions of buildings so far unearthed show
that the city-at least the largest OF the cities
there being at least three enc cities destroyed~was
very extensive, The indications are that there
are many massive structures In the city, and
to be found anywhere in Mexico.
According to the estimates or the scientists
under whose directions the excavations are be-
ing made. the o city in question had population
'The destruction wrought by the flood was
complete All the inhabitants OF the cities were
Of 't the human inhabitants and of the animals
strewn all through the debris, from q depth
Of three feet showing that all the debris was
that the debris is on an average sixty feet deep
where the largest Of the cities stood.
Most remarkable OF the minor finds made at
Paradon is that OF the remains Of elephants.
Never before In the history Of Mexico had It
been ascertained positively that elephants were
ever in the service Of the Inhabitants The re-
mains Of the elephants show plainly that the
Elephants were as much in evidence in the
streets OF the cities as horses. Upon many of
the tusks that have been found rings of
silver. Most of the tusks have average
leagth, for grown elephants Of three feet and
ar average diameter at the roots of six inches.
Judging from the remains of the elephants so
far unearthed the animals were about ten feet
In height and sixteen to eighteen feet In length,
differing little from those at present in exist
ence.
The flood which destroyed the ancient cities
did not have any connection whatever with the
deluge so far as can be learned by scientific in
vestigation. The Coahuila flood confined to
the district In which the cities that were de-
stroyed stood
THE flood resulted from immense cloud
burst, perhaps the most extraordinary that the
world has known, from the bursting OF
some great natural reservoir in the mountains OF
from some cause yet inexplicable.
THE suggestion which has been made by
some investigators that the cities were de-
stroyed by the landslides does not hold good
according to the government biologists"
