Two books Of 800 years ago, bound in
the quaintest parchment, have given
up their secrets, after expert linguists
and ethnologists pondered many weeks
in vain. effort to determine their
origin
Many languages were consulted, Ara.
bic, Sanscrit, Malay. Japanese Russian
and languages that have traces Of
Latin, but the chirography within the
covers Of these musty volumes com.
pared with none of them.
The American Philosophical Society
Of Philadelphia gave it up. Savants
and sages of other literary societies
failed in their efforts to elucidate the
strange language. The bool:s were
finally referred to the United States
Bureau of Ethnology. Prof. Cyrus
Thomas withdrew the veil.

was on Bible history and the other a
collection Of Lenten sermons, written
in the sixteenth century by the mis-
sionary priest, Father Domingo Vico,
who spent many years among the In

Spanish Fathers undertook to trans
