Ancient Ruins of Mexico
From the New York Times.
City of Mexico, Aug-1. via Cul-
veston.—Rccoutly returned explor
er* from the state of Chiapas confirm
and add to the reiiiarkahle reports
concerning important aroinoological
discoveries. A fine broad paved
road, built liy prehistoric inhabitants,
has been traced from Tonala down
into Guatemala and thence in *'
curve up again into Mexico, termi
nating at Palenque. All along this
road arc still to be seen the remains of
ruined cities, and a careful estimate
of the population of these places is
about 30,(XX),000. On that part of
the road near Palenque the ruins are
of great magnitude. Houses four and
often five stories high have been
found in the depth of the forest.
Many of these houses are pyramidal
in form, and so covered arc some of
them with vegetable mold that large
trees are growing from the roofs. In
some oi the houses great employment
has been made of stone beams of tre
mendous weight, and the architect
ure indicates a high degree of scien
tific attainments.
In some houses visited bronze lamps
have been discovered, and the inter
ior and exterior mural decorations of
the more important houses consist of
pancliugs filled with elaborately
carved figures almost life siz.e, two
types of men and women being rep
resented, some plainly Egyptian and
others genuine Africans. In front of
one of the houses the explorers found
fourteen sculptures of gods with
folded arms.
The work of exploration was one
of extreme difficulty, owing to the
density of the forest and the unwill
ingness of the Indians to enter the
ancient edifices, they averring that
the buildings were inhabited by spir
its. Another discovery was that ai
enormous paved read extends from
Palenque acrosst ucatan to the island
of Cozumel, and is continued on the
island. The explorers went to Chia
pas on private business, hut incident
ally became interested in the work
of exploring the ruins, and they sug
gest that the government fit out an
expedition to make a complete, map
of this wonderfully interesting region,
regarding wliii^l little comparatively
is known, even after so many years,
since the white men became aware of
its existence.
Palenque explorers assert that they
have’discovcred in the edifices lie-
fore mentioned examples of a per
fect arcli. One explorer is a scien
tifically trained mail who has recent
ly arrived from India, and by his ac
count the region from Chiapas to
Yucatan must have been the seat of
a densely populous nation.
IF A BODY MEET A IlOBY
tho result is a collision, whether “eorninpf
thro’ tho rye,” or not. Life i» full of collis
ions. We lire constantly colliding with some
body or something. If it isn’t with our
neighbors it is with some dread diseases that
“knocks us olT the track” and perhaps dis
ables us for life. Women especially it seems,
have to bear the brunt of more collisions and
nillictions than mankind. In all cases of
nervousness, Itonring-dwwn sensations, ten
derness, periodical pains, sick headaeho , con
gestion, inflammation, or l.leeration and nil

tho rescue of women as no other medicine
