RUINS OF ANCIENT TlAHuANAcu.

Of Ancient Egypt Is Indicated.
Washington. May "A city SO old
that even the legendary lore Of the
Incas. who traced an unbroken line Of
kings back to the eleventh century, Is
dumb concerning the people who built
It; city which thousand years ago
had been so long dead that even song,
story and tradition had forgotten ev-
cry vestige Of its history when Column
bus discovered the New World" Such
is the ancient city of Tiahuanacu,
whose ruins are crumbling surely. but
very slowly, into dust not far from the
southern shore OF Lake Titicaca, in
Bolivia.
THE little present day village of
Tiahuanacu is located on the railroad
which connects La Paz, the modern
capital Of Bolivia, with the part Of
Guaqui on Lake Titicaca, and may be
reached in about two hours from the
former place. The ruins of ancient
Tiahuanacu. covering an area Of about
4 square mile, are not over half mile
from the village" writes Edward Albes
IN the monthly bulletin of the Pan
American Union, Washington. d. C.
"A traveller stopping in the little

THEN and NOW

One hundred and twenty years ago
today occurred the events which re-
suited In an insurrection for the inde-
pendepce. of Ireland. At midnight OF
that day Dublin was in an uproar. The
doors Of g. local legislative reform club.
a branch of the United 1rishmen Socie-
~, burst open with crash. In the
doorway stood the scarlet coated SOL
diers OF the king. covering the assem-
bled. Irishmen with their guns. The
leaders were arrested and carried off
to jail for treason. From this moment
dates the insurrection that was fought
out, four years later. Ireland was
flooded with government troops, but
the society grew rapidly. Oaths OF
membership and secrecy were admin-
istered. Pixies and munitions Of war
were secretly. distributed, and hidden
for the uprising. The society had over
100000 members at the beginning Of
1898. Stern measures to stamp out the
rebellion were Instituted. The insur-
rection began near Spafford on the
Gath of May. 1t ragged for a month,
closing the battle Of Vinegar Hill with
victory for the government. The re-
bellion cost the lives of 100000 Irish
men and 10000 English. Three years
later the Irish parliament was removed
from Dublin and united with the Eng
lish at London.

| To-day. after more than century
under the rule OF the parliament at
London. 1t Is proposed to restore the
Irish. parliament taken away In 1901.
and to give Ireland home rule. The
country Is split In two over the prop
osition. The province Of Ulster at the
north declares against the proposal,
while the balance Of Ireland demands
it. The house Of commons has twice
passed the bill. and the third passing,
when the bill becomes a law, Is near.
More than 100000 men of Ulster stand
IN defiance against the proposed gov
eminent. They are organized into q
citizen army with some Of Great Brit
aims greatest soldiers as their leaders.
They arc drilling and learning to shoot
straight. Munitions Of war are being
gathered. A fund of $5,0O0,000 is being
raised for, the support Of the depend
ent rela tives Of the volunteers who
may be wounded or killed in the fight-
ing" The leaders of the government
are striving to avert civil war by con-
ciliatory measure. More than $4,000
British troops are assembled today in
the government barracks in Ulster to
put down any uprising.

Of the gateway to the Enclosure stands

by the ravages Of time, still show the

Thus the ruins Of the ancient city
have furnished much Of the material
to build the village Of today, and while
the strict unitarian may find no fault
with this work Of destroying the artis-
tic monuments of a hoary antiquity
to cater to present needs, to the student
Of archaeology 1t seems almost like
dissertation. The Bolivian government
has recently enacted law which for
ton Of that portion OF the ruins which
vandal hands have left intact.
| The ruins themselves include the
remnants Of temples, palaces, and great
structures Of what once must have
city. Not a vestige remains Of the
dwellings and less pretentious houses
! in which this population must have
lived. These were naturally of more
temporary character and the relentless
I
countless centuries, have obliterated
all traces. yt
The question which confronts the
archaeologist .fs-how could a popula-
ton sufficiently numerous to accom-
plish the building of such a city have
maintained itself in this region? TT
ruins are located $4,000 feet above the
level Of the sea on a vast plateau where
La, &c % r.
! ing Of corn and other grain. At pres
ent potatoes, oca, and some other edi-
BILE roots are grown. but the region
sustains only scanty mountain pop
ulation. The city once covered large
area, the great structures were built
by skilled masons. One stone is thir-
ty-six feet long by seven feet wide and
weighs ITO tons, another is twenty six
feet by sixteen, and six feet thick.
Only the monoliths Of ancient Egypt
equal those found in Tiahuanacu. The
| movement and placing Of such. mono
liths point to dense population. to an
organized government. and consequent
" to large agricultural area with
means Of transportation from various
directions The only tenable explana-
ton is that at the time when Tiahuan-
acu flourished the Andes were from
1000 to 5000 feet lower than at pres
emf. Biologists hold that in the Jur-
assic and even in the Cretaceous period
there were no Andes and that thru
gradual upheayal they have been
formed in more recent geological times.
The bones of a mastodon have been
discovered in Bolivia at an altitude of
13. 900 feet above the sea, and such an
animal could not have existed at such
an elevation. Skeletons Of gigantic
anteaters have been found in the des-
erts of Tarapaca. and these could only
have existed in regions or arboreal
vegetation. These and other geological
facts support the theory that the an
cient city Of Tiahuanacu existed when
