UNIQUE AZTALAN.
The Only Brick Walled Town site
Found In This Country.

in many respects Aztaian, i'll Wiscol.
sin, is among the most remarkable pre-
historic monuments IN the northwest.
1t Is the only brick walled town site
fs2nd in this country. IL is on the bot
tom land of the Crayfish river about
two miles from Lake Mills The inclos
ing walls OF the town site are about
100 feet OH It's TANKS and about LOG
feet long. The river served to com
plete the Enclosure of seventeen acres
of land.
Within and without the Enclosure
here are round, truncated and oblone
mounds Just beyond the inclosng
walls the land rises abruptly over
twenty feet to the rolling table lands
Of the surrounding country. From the
bank above stone could be tossed in
to the town site within the Enclosure
which would seem TO be a good reason
why this Enclosure, which has been
called fort, could not have been III
tended for a defense against any hui
man enemy.
Along the brow of the higher land
Is row of more than thirteen round
pyramldal mounds ranging from three
TO twelve feet in height From the top
of these mounds or standing on the
table land an enemy could command
the whole town site. 1t has always
been conceded that Aztalan was not
inclosed for purposes Of defense. 1t
has been supposed that it was walled
for protection from wild animals,
though the Enclosure has never been
high or abrupt enough since its dis
covery to keep out the panther, wild
cat. wolf, bear moose and buffalo, which
were the only dangerous animals Of
the woods hereabout.
The purpose of its inhabitants in
constructing this Enclosure over a half
mile long still remains a mystery. The
most remarkable art of Aztalan is its
brick walls and walks. In this 1t is
singular and alone, the only example
of bricklaying among all the monu-
ments of the mound builders. These
bricks or bricklets are not rectangti-
lar and regular in form and size, as are
the modern brick. They are simply
balls Of plastic clay welded by the
hand into small brickletS of irregular
form about the average size of snow
ball The material used was the
glacial yellowish red clay Of the Vi
cinity, and the color of the bricks is
red or light yellow Under the glass
scrapings appear like handful of
crystal sand. --Minneapolis Journal.

felt better. SO II year passed away.
one night he came home, and there
was his wife sitting in chair in place
of the doll. She spoke to him, saying,
The Great Spirit felt sorry for you, SO
he let me come back TO see yoa, but
YOU must never touch me, for If YOU

have special rights in the Hawaiian
islands.
The japanese newspapers state that
the Hawaiian Legislature is passing
laws against the Japanese, and has
enacted a bill to create a commission
of immigration, to have the special duty
of carefully examining the rights of
immigrants to land. The law is des-
cribed as principally aimed at the Jap
anese and it is stated in the Japanese
press that it will have the effect of
making immigration to Hawaii more
difficult.
Local japanese merchants and others
have cabled to Japan denials of the
statements contained in the Jill and
other papers. They have sent cables
denying that there is any anti-Japanese
feeling or agitation in the Hawaiian
Islands, and explaining that such agi-
tation is confined to the Pacific coast
states. An explanation of the new
immigration commission law has also
been sent, showing that its object is
not to prevent immigration of Japanese
to Hawaii. The Japanese here fear
that the publication of such statements
in Japan will lead to Foreign Office
rules absolutely stopping Japanese from
coming here any more, and they do not
want any such rule.
