Caroline Islands'
Old Stone Ruins1
Whatever the political future of the
Caroline Islands. which Japan seized
ir-.zn Germany. they are bound to be
objects of scientific interest for gener
ations tocome.” according to a bulletin
n just issued by the National Geo
prat hie Society, and continues:
Who built the massive stone struc
tures which give evidence of a high
degree of civilization at some prehistor
ic time? What was the origin of the
jiene currency, some ‘co'os’ of which
t tigh rive tons?
-These are but two of the many
Questions which these Pacifi • islands
of —ystery present. The stone ruins ex
tend from Ponape, an island toward the
east of the group, to Yap, on the west.
‘*On Yau are great stone ten-aces,
embankments, and roads composed of
neatly laid stone blocks, stone graves,
stone p 1st forms, and enorut-’tis- cham
bers resembling council lodges with
gabies and tall pillars frequently carv
ed.
Ponape discloses the ‘Pacific Yen
‘ There the ruins are partly sub
3 rged. Apparently they once stood
on an island city, unless their site was
:: .mected with other islands before a
terrific upheaval inundated them.
What remains today is more than

projecting above the water of a la
gc-jc There is an oater lagoon, se
parated by a breakwater three miles
long. In ail this construction huge ba
sal: blocks were used. Apparently
they were untouched by iron tools.
Recent study ha,? confirmed the b-~
.1 that these mighty megalithic menu
meats antedate the present native popu
. .'.lor. of the Carolines.
' Origin of the unique stone coinage
.- tu knows. Shell money seems to
have supplanted the unwieldy stone
disks for 'small change’ long before
th^ white man arrived- The stone
mosey’ is made from limestone on
cakfte. It probably was employed for
primitive hanking rather than for gen
'irrriation. I-? security from theft
: - assured by its weight. Specimens
are found piled about the home of na
•ive chieftains.
