is now quite safe to visit Cajamarqula. In fact,
the thought of robbers was not connected in my
mind with CajarmarquiIla, until l read Squier's
work.
During our brief stay among the ruins it was
impossible to make anything like measurements
except with the eye, but as far the vision
tended towards the mountain nothing
but ruins which stretched to a great distance TO
right and left. Toward the river they seemed to
melt away into the plain. Squier says that they
cover an area nearly square league, and
Middendorf estimates their extent at four square
kiIometers. From my observations. the ruins
consist of houses built of immense adobe blocks
closely adjoining each other, here and there sep
arated by streets. Some of he houses consist
of several apartments Admission is gained
through a low doorway, but nowhere is there a
sign of a window As in Pompeit the roofs
whatever may have been the material of their
construction. have long since fallen in. Outside
the buildings. the soil has risen to great height
sometimes nearly to the top of the wall but in
side the walls the depth gives an idea of the
original height of perhaps 10 feet or more To
ward the mountain a large portion of the city is
almost completely buried in the sand which in
the course Of ages has come drifting down from
the hills. There are within the city a few eIeva-
tons small hills which may have been occu-
pied by temples or forts. Pits are everywhere
within and without the houses, with a width of
from two to four and depth ranging from six
to twenty feet or more. Human remains in the
shape Of skulls and bones are found within the
pits scattered over the ground, together with
bits Of pottery and other articles, such as corn
cobs. which were probably inferred with the
dead. Some of these pits are said to have served
the purposes of storehouses or granaries while
others were certainly graves. The inhabitants of
the city buried their dead within or in the inme
date vicinity of their houses although the mass
of the people must have used the necropolis
some distance away from the residences. MANY
Of these pits, excavated in the hard soil are in
the form of jar or urn. while others are square
Squter thus describes the ruins as he saw
them:
These consist of three great groups of build
on and around the central mass. with streets
passing between them. It would be impossible
to describe this complicated maze of massive
adobe walls, most of them still standing albeit
much shattered by earthquakes or to convey an

Surprise for Mother.

A certain mother, given to mysti-
cism and impressive theories regard
ing her highly natural children, one
evening was entertaining visitors.
Suddenly came the sound Of little feet
pattering to the head of the stairs.
The mother raised her hand in solemn
warning.
Listen" she said, softly. The chill
dren are going to deliver their good
night message. 1t always gives me a
feeling of reverence to hear them
