and would like to have them solved.
Many OF the most valuable rock
writings have been set aside as
national monuments by the Govern
ment. Tl Morro, or Inscription
Rock, in New Mexico is probably the
most notable example. This national
monument is near the old Zuni trail,
which was followed by the Spaniards
In their hunt for the Seven Cities OF
Cibolla. For miles the cliffs abound
with inscriptions, messages in Span
ish being mingled with the older
picture writings OF the aborigines
who wandered over the desert long
before the Spaniards came.
The deciphering of the ancient pic-
ture writings is the main object OF
Government experts to-day. The
photographer who operates in the
neld nowadays is not satisfied to
copy the inscriptions, but secures a
perfect impression by somewhat
laborious methods. IL the rock
writing is pecked into the surface of

carefully pressed into the depres-
