A CRESCENT OF RUINS.
Tn. Curious Old Cliff Dwellings Of the
National Mesa Verde.

The Curious Old Cliff Dwellings Of the
National Mesa Verde.
In the Mesa Verde National park, In
southwestern Colorado. are 800 clin
dwellings. Of which only the three lar
gest have been repaired. The largest
ruin. called CliH palace. stands about
a thousand feet above the bottom OF
the canyon and 800 feet below the top
Of the ledge. All the houses connect
and open into one another. the entire
settlement forming crescent about
800 feet in length FROM end to end.
AS we contemplate these silent ruins
Il Is hard to believe that at one time
they resounded with the hum OF indus
try. the laughter of children. the dron-
ing Of priests. and the strident cry or
the sentiuels calling the warriors to
battle. The jewellers Of these aban-
doned communities have left no writ
ten record. but the shape OF the struc-
lures and the relics that have been
dug from the debris Of centuries give
some idea oS how these people lived
and moved and had their being.
The main houses were built on
ledge close to its front, and back OF
this was an open space that answered
the purpose Of court. street, play
ground or a place for industrial pur-
suits. such as weaving and pottery
making. At intervals along the front
were towers and bastons. and IN the
interior were kivas or secret chambers
used for religious ceremonies In ev-
cry village were storehouses to pro-
vid suppl Of provisions in times OF
war or failure of crops.
