glad that he must work? Human nature, which

by no means sure that the fall from innocence

In its entirety this section Of the city must
have presented an imposing appearance, being
literally forest OF columns surrounding and
connecting the various courts. AS to the use
of these great colonnades, tradition and his
tory are equally silent Some think that they
were the law courts Of the ancient city, where
Justice was administered and punishment
meted out. Others say that they were the
market places, where the produce of the sur
rounding country was bought and Sold This
latter explanation has one strong recommends
ton in its favor in that the descendants of
the builders OF the ancient city of Yucatan,
the present Maya Indians, still hold their mar
kets under the portals surrounding the plazas
in the towns and villages throughout the coun-
try today.
South of the Cenote Grande there are mum.
Der Of well-preserved structures, most Of them
presenting beautifully sculptured facades To
these fanciful names have been given, which
probably have little or nothing to do with
the original uses of the buildings. One large
structure, for example, has been called "The
Akabtzb." The name is Maya and means
1.-The House Of the Dark Writing" This build
ing was so called, because Of the fact that
over one of its interior doorways there is
Intel inscribed with hieroglyphs. This Intel
Is so placed that the hieroglyphics can only
be seen by artificial light, hence the name,
"The House Of the Dark Writing" Nearby is
a round tower, with but one exception the
only structure Of its kind in the Maya area.
This is called "The Caraco." Caracol is the
Spanish word for snail, and since the interior
circular corridor and spiral stairway Of this
structure bear some remote resemblance to the
conyolutions Of a snail shell, the name was
applied to the building. The Manjos Spanish

building at Chichen Itza 1t is composite,
showing three different periods Of construction.
The above are only few Of the many struc-
lures at Chichen liza. But in all directions for
several miles the brush is strewn with ruins.
Crumbling walls and jungle-ridden courts are
to be encountered on every side; disintegration
so far advanced that these once splendid pal
aces and temples are now but little more than
shapeless mounds of fallen masonry. The total
area covered by ruins which may be assigned
to this center Of primitive population has been
estimated by some as high as ten square miles.
That larger Maya cities yet remain to be dis
covered now seem highly improbable so thor
oughly has the general exploration Of the area
been done. Consequently we may affirm with
but little hesitation that "The Holy City of the
Itzas" was the largest and most important Of
the Maya civilization and probably Of abor.
fginal America as well.
