Old Map of South America.
Claude Vautln, ac English mining
engineer, who has been prospecting hi
Peru, returned tbe other day on the
■tnatnshlp Zacann Besides looking
after mining property, he has been
collecting interesting antiquities of
the country.
One of the most Interesting things
he bring* bark with him is a map of
South America made by the Jesuits In
1592. It give* an outline of the land
at far north as Cuba and is apparent
ly accurate. Its purpose la evidently
plain, for every mission station In
the country at that time Is Indicated
on the map, and tho line of travel
necessary to reach them Is marked
out. This mnp wart obtained by Mr.
Vautln at Puno, Peru.
Auother Interesting collection ho
brought back is the death masks of
the Incas. They were hammered out
of metal and placed over the faces
of tho dead. Throe of these obtained
by Mr. Vautln arc of sheet gold.

' Pilla will be sent free to anyone on re

>1 unron's Paw Paw Pilla are unlike
all other laxative* or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
method*. They do not scour, they do
not Krlpe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all tho secretions of the liver
snd stomach in a way that soon puts
the* organ* in a healthy condition and
correct* constipation. In my opinion
constipation ri responsible for most ail
ments. There sre 26 feet of human
howels. which is really a sewer pipe.
Wben this pipe becomes clogged the
whole sy*tem becomes |>oisoned, caus
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffer* with constipation or any liver
ailment ran expert to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
I had my way I would prohibit the sale
of nine tenths of the cathartics that r.re
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowel* that they re
fuse to act unless forced by strong
Hiplim r
Munyon's Paw Paw Pilla are a tonic
to tbe stomach, liver and nerves. They
mvigcrate instead of weaken; they en
rich the btiod Instead of Impoverish
it; I bey enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These piQa eonts in no calomel, no
tfepe; they are soothing, healing and
stimalating. They school the bowelr
to act without physic. ,

the common adoption of a certain cul
ture, we do not yet know. It Is very
late In Hattl history, and long after
Its great period, that Hittltes appear
in the Hlble story, with one exception;
and when found In Palestine they
sepm to be aliens In tho land, or
strayed remnants of a vanishing
stock. The presence of "Children of
Heth" at Hebron In Abraham's time
may have been due to such a survival,
and so, too, may that of tho hapless
Uriah in David's realm. The promise
made to Joshua and the Israelites, of
"all tho land of the Hittltes" (even If
a gloss of late date), and the Hlttlte
Ezeklel Imputes to tho
city of Jerusalem, seem to reflect a
current tradition of past Hlttlte dom
ination In South Syria: but wben the
army broke up before Samaria bo
cause a word went forth that the
"Kings of the Hittltes" were coming,
it feared a power lying far to the
north, which had once been greater,
though It knew It not.
The world of scholars has disputed
about the Hittltes ever since tho mid
dle of tbe last century, when the de
cipherment of hieroglyphic and cune
iform records revenled the fact thnt a
people of their name had filled a place
lu west Asian history far more Impor
tant than tho Israelites were aware.
It has disputed especially their re
sponsibility for the monuments, In a
quaint Individual style of art, and In
scribed In some cases with undecl
phered plctographs, which have been
discovered during the last forty years
all over North Syria and groat part
I of Asia Minor; and It has questioned
most acrimoniously the ascription of
I the Asia Minor monuments to them,
I which Sayco first proposed after com
paring with the Syrian stores from
| llamath the magnificent rock-relief at
Ivrlz, tho rock figures near Smyrna,
i which Herodotus thought, to ho repre
sentations of conquering "Sesoßtrls,"
J snd the far more numerous sculptures
j In North Cappadocla, at the ruined
cities known as Hoghaz Keul and
I Kyuk. Close resemblance was admit
] tod, but the natural corollary, that, at
some time, there had been a Hlttlte
"Empire" (In the loose oriental sense)
was scouted. How should history
have forgotten such a fact?
Yet it had forgotten It; for a Hlt
tlte or Hattl empire did exist once,
! with Its center, not In Syria, but In
I far Cappadocln, towards tho Black
I sea. We know the fact now on the
best of evidence, and those doublings
of the learned are heard no more at
all. Our certainty has resulted from
discoveries made at the site long
known and guessed about, which Is
called by the uncouth-aoundlng Turk
ish name, Bnghaz-Keul—l. e„ defile-
I village. Here massive walls and gates
|of an early age, the almost burled
I skeleton of « mighty building, which
| might have been palace or temple,
and. most of all, the sculptured sides
of a rock-shrlne hard by, had puzzled
explorers and scholars for seventy
I years.. At last. In 1906, the excava
-1 tor's Bpade was put In earnest Into
tho soil after a certain archaeological
■cent had been followed up. The

lets, broken pieces of which had been
coming out of Cappadocla for several
years, and by a chain of Indications,
some of them obtained on the spot by J
Chantre In 1890, had been traced to
Hoghaz Keul. The well-known orlen
tallst, Hugo Wlnckler, began the sys- j
tematlc search In 19l)fi, and lighted at |
once on tablets. In 1907 he got more, j
moat of them from the ruins of the
great building referred to above,
which proved to have been a palace
—or rather, two palaces of different
dates, one being built partly over the
other. In a word, he found remains
of royal archives, written In cunei
form script, but partly in the Baby
lonian language, partly In o tongue j
unknown. Tho first kind was readily ;
deciphered; the other Is yielding Its
secrets only to slow and painful labor!
But already we have learned enough
to convince the most hardened scep
tic that history had forgotten a
great deal. This Is, however, to do his
tory some Injustice. She had not
entirely forgotten the kings of Bog
haz-Keut, but we could not under
stand her records: Egyptian Inscrip
tions of the eighteenth and nineteenth
dynasties mention four kings of the
Klilta under circumstances which Im
ply that theirs was no mean power;
but the . texts give no Indication that
those kings ru)«d elsewhere than In
Syria, where tho Pharaohs and their
officers came Into contact with them.
All these four names have now been
tound In the Boghaz-Keul archives, to
gether with other names of tho same
dynasty, and we see that It was in
Cappadocla that these kings were at
home.
From the tablets already read, the
growth of this empire towards the
south and enst can be followed, and
from the distribution of monuments of
lllttlto class 1 Its growth westward as
far us the Aegean sen may be reason
ably be Inferred. The first expansion
of the Hattl folk beyond the bounds
of Cappadocla seems to have been
ns early HS about 1800 11. C., when
they raided down to Babylon and up
set*'what Is called Its first dynasty;
but their careers of organized con
quest was not .to begin for nearly
threo centuries, till King Subbllulu,
whom the Egyptians called Sapararu,
cameJo the throne. When he died. In
the time of Amenophls IV. of Egypt,
he was over-lord of West Asia, from
the Black eea to Oronotes and from
the Tigris to the Aegean. From cor
respondence with the kings of Egypt,
of the Mosopotamlan Mltannl, and of
Babylon, which has now come to
light, the stages of his conquest can
be traced—raids on the Mltannl ter
ritory; raids into northern Syria; war
with the Mltannl; full establishment
of Hattl domtnlatlon over north Syria
and north Mesopotamia; recognition
of tbe Hattl king as suzerain by the
Amurrl or nomads of the Syrian and
Mesopotamlan wastes. Kings of Egypt
and Babylon acknowledged him as
their equal, but as yet there was no
war with the elder empires That did
not come till the time of Mutallu and
Rameses 11. The Hattl king had ad
vanced south Into the Aramaen coun
try, iSn the upper Orontes, and estab

llshed himself at Kadesh, near the
modern Horns. There the youn#
Hameses 11. attacked him, and fought
I the battle immortalized by the en-
J gravlnf? of a court poet's encomiastlo
| narrative on a wall at Kafnak. Ram
eses seems to have prevailed ho far
that he stopped any further advance
of the Hattl towards his own borders;
but when he made a treaty of peace
and dalliance with Mutallu's successor.
Hattusll 11. (whon he called Khlt>
aKar), Its terms Imply recognition of
the other party's power as equal to
his own. Part of Hattusll's corre
spondence has come to light at Bog*
haz-Keul. It includes a precis of the
j. provisions of this very treaty, and
documents which show that the Hattl
king was still overlord in Mosopo
j lamia and able to deal on a footing of
secure Independence with Babylon.
These records bring the history to
about 1260 B. C. We know something
of two more kings of Boghaz-Keul,
making eight in all. The last
reigned on the eve of that great re
vival on the Tigris, which would ul
j tlmately bring Assyria down to the j
j Mediterranean, and In his time the
Hattl empire was evidently decaying;
for there were kings In Syria, where j
the monarch om Boghaz-Keul had
| once ruled alone. To this Syrian
part of the empire we know what
nappened at the last. It was broken
up by the power of Nineveh In the
eighth century B. C. But how the
empire dwindled and came to an end
in Asia Minor we can only guess.
J Assyrian pressure was felt even there,
j for at least one Nlnovlte king raided
far across Taurus. From the oppo
site side, the north, a wild people, the |
Muxkl, swept through the peninsula
and Anally settled down in Phrygla,
probably freeing It, with all to west
ward, from the Cappadoclan rule, and
certainly establishing a monarchy
whoso holders, under the names Oor
dlas and Midas, loom large In early
Oreok legend. The Greeks, finding
the coasts undofended which the Cre
tans of Minos hal not been able to
conquer, came over and -colonized
th'em. Lydla rose last ruins of
Phygia. and by this time the power
of ltohhas-Keul was only a name. To i
Judpe from the remains of the city I
so far uncovered, It had enjoyed a seo- |
ond spring at some period, perhaps
i about 1000 11. C.; but this must havo
i been short. Greek literature makes |
; only one doubtful allusion to It In the
sixth century, and none at all to \ts i
i former greatness. Yet, all forgotten |
i ns It was by the people In whose j
[ hands In chief the transmission of
[ early history was to He, the Hattl em
i plro had not existed In vain even for
the development of that same people,
i Occupying for several centuries the
I most vltnl part of West Asia, through
i which all the land routes between
i east and west must pass, the Hattl
■ had been the main agents through
whont the civilizing Influences of the
• ecst had passed. Their art awakened
r art In Phrygla and Lydla, and left Its
, mark on the first Greek handiwork in
, lonia. From their plctographlc ays
i tem of writing were derived many aI
, phabetlc characters still used In Hel
t lenlsed parts of South and West Asia
i Minor, In classical times. Their re
• ltglon was the type religion of Asia
, Minor, and ultimately responsible for

> which spread to Greece and through
