This is a strong statement, since all the world appears to be interested in tomb. Moreover, these be great days for the archeologists. Diggers are hard at work pretty much over all the earth. And many curious things do their shovels turn up. And every now and then chance turns tip something ancient that sets the diggers busy on a new quest. Its an uninteresting newspaper these days that. does not contain some kind of a Tut story from some unknown or forgotten place of earth. .Tust read this list of archeological activities, casually made from recent news dispatches: The third Asiatic expedition of the American Museum of Natural History, led by Hoy Chapman Andrews, has discovered in the Gobi desert of Mongolia proof that Asia is the Mother of Continents and the Cradle if Life on tills globe.

Morris, in charge of the digging, was the dried body of a dog. This may be of historical value. Nobody knows from where the early Pueblo Indians came. If the species and place of origin of the dog may he found, It may show whether the Indians came from Asia, the South Sea Islands, or merely moved to New Mexico from some other part of this country. The remains of prehistoric bluff dwellers have been uncovered In the Ozark mountains of Missouri. A clamshell hoe, tobacco and corncobs are among the Interesting things unearthed. Scientists who will visit Prescott, Arlz., this summer to attempt to fathom the mystery of the ancient cliff dwellings on the Verde river will be asked to give their attention to a skeleton found recently by Morris and Howell Payne, ranchers. Although the skeleton Is apparently no larger than thnt of a child of four or five years the skull contains a fully developed set of mature teeth. Excavations being carried on In the Valley of Mexico have set back several thousand years the beginning of civilization in the Western Hemisphere. They show that man was building cities here many thousands of years ago. They reveal five distinct civilizations, one imposed upon the other, the lowest lying from 15 to 40 feet below the surface. They demonstrate apparently plainly enough thnt the tvi earliest civilizations of the Valiev of Mexico were developed by people with slanting eyes and strangely Mongolian features who painted the walls of their cities nnd temples with strangely grotesque figures and symbols, which suggest Chinese origin. The enthusiastic insist thnt the earliest of these civilizations (lutes hack 10.000 years ago. Notwithstanding all this, many archeologists stand by the Mayan cities of Yucatan as potentially the most important of ancient ruins known to man. Dr. Sylvnnus G. Merely, in charge of the explorations of the Carnegie institute, writing to the National Geographic society, says of the Mayas: Daring the first millennium before Christ, while yet our own forebears of northern Europe were plunged In the depths of barbarism, there developed somewhere in middle America, probably on the gulf coast of southern Mexico, a great aboriginal civilization called the Maya, which was destined to become the most brilliant expression of the ancient American mind. Their priests and astronomers were gathering front the stars the secrets of time nnd its accurate measure, the revolutions of the moon nnd planets. Their mnthemntioians .and ehrnnnlngists devised a ralendnr and chronology which was without peer on this continent and excelled by none in the old world at that time. Their builders developed nr architecture at once unique, dignified and beautiful. Their sculptors carved the most elaborate compositions and designs in stone. Their lenders mastered the problems of social and governmental organization nnd administered the state adequately and well. In short, a great national life was quickening to its fullest expresjungle-swallowe- d sion. The zenith of their civilization, however Inthe intellectual climax of all civilizations was the development of a hieroglyphic writing which, moreover, was the only system of writing in the new world worthy of comparison with the earlier graphic systems of the old world, such as those of Egypt, of Babylonia nnd of China, for example. Buried In the vast tropical forests of northern Central America, nnd especially In the state of Guatemala, these splendid memorials of a forgot ' deed, ten people are slowly coining to light. Year by year expeditions sent out by American scientific Institutions ure penetrating deeper and deeper Into these virgin fastnesses and are discovering new ruined cities. Doctor Morely has just completed an examinaIn Yucatan. tion of the Maya ruins of Cldchen-Itza- , The religious and civic centers of the ruins cover an area two miles long and one mile wide. Extending from this center In all directions for three to five miles are the remains of stone buildings These Include pyramids, platforms, terraces, plazas and paved roads, all now burled In a thick tropical foliage. are those of the The ruins of Cldchen-Itz- a largest city of the new Maya empire, which was probably founded about the middle of the Fifth century after Christ by colonists from the old empire cities of northern Guatemala, Doctor Morely said. During this first period It was occupied foi about two centuries and abandoned for unknown reasons. In the middle of the Seventh century the Inhabitants moved toward the coast, where they stayed three centuries, returning to Cldchen-Itz- a themselves there about 90? and A. D. It was then one of a league of three cities, the others being Uzntal and Mayapan, which ruled Yucatan from the beginning of the Eleventh to the Thirteenth century. It was a period of with a renaissance of art, architecture and prosi-er-it- sculpture. New types of buildings were then erected, the temples showing columns cut with feathered serpents, dedicated to their patron deity, called or feathered serpent. The great ball court, as large as a modern football field, wtis built and Inclosed by massive walls 30 feet high and 25 feet thick. In this inclosure games were played nut unlike modern basketball, Ihe object being to drive a ball through rings fastened in the side walls. A new religious cult developed under which most of the beautiful young women were hurled to death into a great natural well ISO feet in diameter nnd 70 feet deep, as sacrifices to the offended rain deities during the droughts. The fame of this sacred well spread far and wide, so that pilgrims came from a great distance to make precious offerings of carved jade, copper, bells, pottery and incense, which were deposited In this well as sacrifices to the min god. Because of the extraordinarily spectacular character of her religious rites and ceremonies Chichen-Itz- a became the mecca of the whole Mayan world. It Is difficult to make an estimate (if the population of Chichen-Itz- a during the period of her greatest glory, hut personally I think the whole Itza nation could not have numbered less than a quarter of a minion, and possibly half a million. Dr. Marshall 11. Kaville. American archeologist, told the American Archeological society tit Washington recently thnt under ag"s of American dust In the ruined temples of the lost Maya civilization In Yucatan, delvers into antiquity may make discoveries, in t lie near future, which will surpass in Interest the recent revelations at Luxor. He said the lost history of the Mayas never may tie found, hut there is every hope that Its numerous volumes will he discovered lit the tombs of the ancient priests who spent their lives writing them. Part of their chronology the Mayas left engraved on monuments and on the walls und rooms of their temples, palaces and homes. The more Intimate details of the era were recorded in hook form, on a material that closely resembles pufior. hut is stronger nnd more durable. Some few leaves of sticb volumes already have been discovered. The tombs of the Mayan priests, who als.r were the Intellectual leaders of the race, are known to be under the floors of the temples. The Peabody museum will shortly publish a work on the Mayan civilization by Prof. Herbert J. Spinden and Prof. A. M. Tozzcr. It Is based largely on archeological treasures recovered from the sacred sacrificial well referred to by Doctor Morely. Not much 's known publicly about these treasures. They were privately removed through the efforts of Edward H. Thompson, former United States consnl at Merida, and have been J'Mtlouslj guarded. Helper.
