than the knowledge OF these old stone

value. according TO psychologists. n
making possible a study Of Maya history
and culture. SO far they are almost as
much mystery as they were two hun

and petroglyphs which mark the buried
temples and palaces are undecipherab.e,
and what little history of the movements
OF the Mayas and their ancestors, their
life and art, has survived has been or;y
In the form Of legends kept alive by o.
scure Maya tribes.
Mr.. Millwards explorations have estab-
lished the fact that the confines Of the
Maya empire extended far south OF the
belt of towns and cities whose ruins dot
the northern coast toward the Bay of
Campeche. More important still. II is
more than probable that the deserted
country through which he cut his way,
guarded on all sides by almost impene-
trable jungles, was the original birthplace
and stronghold Of the race
In the course of his explorations Mill
ward came upon more than three hun
dred groups Of ruins, which mark the site
OF what were once villages and towns OF
from 1900 to $4,000 population each. The
latter have all the characteristics Of great
centres OF highly developed life. As In
the famous Palenque, many of the ruins
In this hitherto undiscovered land which
Millward penetrated are notable In their
dimensions, decorations and suggestions
Of the high degree Of civilization which
created them. But as ever. owing 10 the
superstition Of the Mayas in his party, no
