priest. With flvn brother mlsslonarlea
he left China, sailing north by the Pe
ninsula of Kamchatka, to the Aleutian
Islands, eastward of Alaska, and thence
to Furang, which Is the name of the
country he tells the most about. He de
scribes the people be encountered on his
voyage. The Aleutian Islanders, he said,
were a happy. Joyous people, having the
custom of tattooing their bodies, and
they received the stranger with a great
ehw of hospitality. Host of these I*l

The Origin of the Aster Civilian!lwa.
Me have I! that Hwul (than returned
to China, that he was a missionary priest
wlto had been to some country far to the
Kust. where he had'left his live comptin
lona to tarry out the missionary work
commanded ly Buddha. Ihe founder of
Iheir religion. Whatever became of
these five ntliwlonarlea we eon only con
jecture. A thousand years have passed
since Hwut Shan arrived m the village of
King Chow and rein—l hi* wonderful
discovery, and the prows of the Spanish
caravels plough tho Carlhlmao sea anl
Mexican gulf They And a people Inhab
iting the mainland possessing a clvlllx.-
tlon nearly equal lo their own. The As
ters Inhabited well built cities, possessed
written records and maps, and mode pa
per from the liber of the Agave. Their
advanced slate of civilisation was marred
only by their abominable human sacri
fice*.
The Mayas of Yucatan had attained
even a greater degree of civilisation than
'he Alices, especially In arts and arehl
lectural science, as the remains of Ihptr
elite* and temple* attest to this day
The Spaniards In their blind leal for the
Catholic faith destroyed nearly every
thing they could get their hands on which
showed the peculiar civilisation of these
peoph Whence they got this civilisation
ha* often been asked.
The Toiler* appear to be the first of the
aboriginal races who had attained any
degree of civilisation. They Inhabited
the valley of Anahuar. <ihe valley of Mex
ico.) built cities and temples and did not
Indnlae any llbndleh desire lor human

Irlls. rime down from ihe North, deso
lated their elite* and drove ihe Toltec*
South tin*> Central America and Yuca
tan. and look to themselves some of their
arts oral Industries, tto lh.tt we see the
civilization of the Aztec was that of the
'jfollcc*. Now we have the remains of the
Mayas In Yucatan, who were evidently
i Toltec, and what do we find?
I Remarkable Evidence.
In the National Museum at Madrid there
Is preserved one of the books of the Maya*
which escaped the general auto da fe of
the Bishop Lands. who burned these books
whenever found. The paper resembles
! very much the paper manufactured by
tho Chinese, and It consists of a lon*
- tin i doubled to fold between two hoards
like their early book*. The text consist*
j of hieroglyphics and picture writing.which
; l* the only thing about It not resembling
i the Chinese. It is. Indeed, a bc.iinlf.il
i piece of aboriginal book making.
In Mexico there existed traditions of
| Ihe visit of a strange people to the eoun
; try who taught many things, and Alex
ander von Humboldt. In hi* “Views of
i the Cordilleras,” mentions s number of
j surprising coincidences between the Mex
ican nnd Aalatlc clvlltx.illons. Recent
traveler* In Mexkto and Central America
must have noted the fondness displayed
by the native races for fireworks, which
they manufacture themselves and set off
In honor of their Catholic saints, which
were substMuied for ihelr Idols by the
Hpanliird*. Now. where did they obtain
Ihdr knowledge of firework*. If not from
the Chinese? Certainly they did no! get
them from Ihe Spaniards, who care noth
ing for firework*, anti, like ourselves. If
they ever had any go* them from the Chi
nese. Another thing which the modern
Mexican Indian Indulged In which Is pe
culiar to the Chinese 1* the stray, or rush
mat. They use It In one form or an
other as an umbrella, an awning, a cur
tain. a rug. and, finally, a cover to their
! couch lo sleep on. And whal Is more,
