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.

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 sacrifices. The Asiece, n fierce, war-like 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, Japanese or Chinese than the suyacal of j the Central American Indian! This I* a form of wxler-proof cloak, made by stitching long blades of the pxlm leaf, on* over ihe other. like the slats of a Persian blind, or the shingles on a house.
