Find Traces Of Highly Civilized People
Ten Thousand Years Aoo-Maga-
lIthie City 10 unearthed.

New Haven, Conn.-There was sub
mitted at the meeting Of the Yale
corporation a report of the Yale ex-
petition to Peru, headed by Professor
Hiram Bingham, in which were made
known for the first time some remark
able discoveries. 1t Is said no scien-
tific expedition In recent years has
garnered SO much that is of interest In
the scientific world.
Chief among the results was the
finding for the first time of bones of
the prehistoric man. Of the age before
the glacial period. An estimate OF
the age Of the bones is not less than
10000 years. Several archaeological
discoveries made by Professor Bling
ham included ruins Of several Inca or
pre-Inca cities, and traces Of a high
ly civilized people earlier than the In
cas-. Another discovery was that of the
bones of the American bison, which
scientists never before had known to
exist In South America. The present
level of perpetual snow in the Andes
was determined. Clear geological evil
dence of past climatic changes was
found, especially in deep valleys Of the
Cordillera and In the deserts of the
coast regions. Devonian, carbonifer-
Gus. cretaceous and tertiary fossils
were collected. Evidence was found
tending to show that the great coast
terraces have had not a single geo.

w army will probably possess 40
aeroplanes. At present it only has
seven machines, number so insignifi-
cant as to make comparison with
some of the powers of Europe almost
impossible. In the development of the
so-called fourth army" of the military
service, this country is far behind
France and Germany, Notwithstanding
the fact that the first men to make
practicable the fight of heavier-than-
air machines were Americans. Even
Italy can show greater advancement
than this country, although this is due
to the fact that she has on her hands
war which gave her an opportunity
to demonstrate the usefulness of the
flying-machine in actual service. The
only thing approaching that opportu-
nifty in this country was offered during
the period when we massed troops on
the Mexican border.
Notwithstanding the fact that our
army may possess 40 aeroplanes in
side-of two years, we will not even
approach France in the number Of our
"avions," which is the name applied
in that country to military flying ma
chimes. The French war department
proposes to buy during the present
year $50 aeroplanes. the minister of
finance having asked for $1,000, 900 for
the extension of aeronautical service.
Twenty machines alone were used at
