Prehistoric Art Of Mexico Likened To That of Egypt TKPIC. Navarit, Mexico (AD K, O. Matthews, an Aincrlcan versed In Mexican archaeology, says that some of his recent discov eries of prehlstotre relics in west ern Mexico show striking similar ity to the ancient art of Ktrvpt. Mr. Matthews points out that while much data concerning the Tolti-cs and their successors, the Aztecs, has been gleaned from central and eastern Mexico, little has been learned regard iii the history of those who dwelt on the western shorus. lie is niviiiH his attention to supplying more in formation of regions archaeolo;; ically uncharted, and has uncov ered weamms. articles of domestic utility an adornment and grotes que images of religious portent. A recent prexs dispatch from Mexico rity told of a parly of ex cursionists in Vera Cruz state that found, hidden l'l ti cave near Oriz aba, a large- collection of Aztec idols. These images si 111 were be ing worshipped by Indians of that remote region, who continued to follow ceremonies mippood to have disappeared more than 4uO years ago. It was reported that after a battle with the Indians captured many of the priceless relies. The 1'nlverslty of Orizaba has om:tnized an expedition to ex plore the locality more thorough ly. Com men ting on this find of Idols, Mr. Matthews deplored the life of force und recalled an ex perience he had u few years ngo. Neur Tecoco he too found a cave filled with idols nnd other objects of great nut Inn it y. The Indians, holdii.g confidence in him. al lowed him to .select several of tlie :trt treasures on his promihe that lie would not reveal the hiding place.
