ANCIENT AMERICAN FORTRESS.

Tho exploring excavations in the
Mesa Verde National Park which the
Department OF the Interior is con
Quoting under the direction of DR..
Jesse w. FeWkes, Of the Smithsonian
Institution, are successful to de-
gree scarcely Anticipated when the
work was begun The new eXCava-
ton is across the canyon from the
famous Cliff Palace. This palace,
as the remarkable prehistoric city is
foolishly called, stands beneath the
rim of the east side of the canyon,
while the astonishing structure first
unearthed stands upon the rim of the
west side.
FOR many years visitors to the Mesa
Verde National Park have noticed
huge mound opposite the Cliff Palace
with trees growing upon it. 1t has
aroused a great deal Of curiosity, and
many have been the speculations
concerning it's meaning. especially
when stones were discovered emery
ing from it that evidently had been
cut by tools in the hands of man
It is this mound which the Depart
ment OF the Interior determined to
explore and under which DIR. Fewkes
has just found the most remarkable
prehistoric structure north OF the Az
tee architecture in Mexico.
This splendid structure is of cut
and polished stone. The building
has the form of a capital ID. The
straight elevation is 1913 feet long and
the curved part 245 feet. The outer
walls are double, ard between them
are a series of narrow rooms. AS
the outer walls are unbroken, the
entrance TO this building must have
been either subterranean or by the
means of ladders through the top.
Dr.. Fewkes believes the ruin was
an uncompleted fortress abandoned
when the cliff dWellers disappeared
from the Rocky Mountain region. He
does not think the, cliff dwellers were
exterminated, however, but believes
that, about the time they abandoned
their unfinished fortress they had be-
come strong enough to leave their
mountain refugees and mingle with
the tribes of the lowlauds. After
that, perhaps, they became amalgam-
ated with the various Indian races
ard lost their separate identity.
At Koki Spring, a short distance
from these ruins, there are a number
of other tree-grown mounds very
similar In appearance to the one just
excayated Here and there cut
stones are exposed in these. II is
possible that there is a buried city
beneath these mounds. DIR. Fewkes
hopes next year to find whether or
not there Is a buried and prehistoric.
city concealed beneath.

likely to turn the whole tide of their
lives. There are opportunities that
some embrace, that others would have
ignored. Then these were CppoTLun-

ed with the understanding to take al
vantage OF them. The circumstance

Every individual who looks back
upon his own career will have to ad-
nit that he is where he is by series
of aCCidents-that is by experiences
thrust upon him, the result of environ
ment he never sought. or sought
through some impulse for which he
could not account When he has found
the place in which he seems to fit, he
sticks to it and performs the duty as
best he can, unless Ousted by another
aspirant with a stronger pull.
Mr. Ripley has had fine and cred
table career There have been others
who have worked as hard, and per,
haDs been endowed with ability as
great who have not arrived anywhere
in particular, which. is to say that the
accidents attending them have not
been so kindly.
