Was Third Expedition.

This was Professor Bingham's third
expedition to Peru, and its object, he
said, was to intensity the work that
had been left incomplete. This time
be was able to devote considerable
time to the examination OF the remains
of the 100 one story stone dwellings,
temples and city walls OF the ancient
city Of the Peruvian trlbesmen, known
as Machu Picchu, constructed of carved
white stone, and $1,000 was expended
In ~excavatlng parts Of the ruins of the
city which had become covered with
heavy underground.
At Machu Picchu were found the fos-
sillzed bones of prehistoric man, skulls
and skeletons worn down to dust and
hardly dlstinguishable from the gravel
In which they were found. Professor
Bingham has brought back with him
several bronze tablets to see whether
the quality and shape Of them and the
characters on them may lead to more
being learned about the original In
habltants of this continent.
Opposition by the government of
Peru was so continuous and so severe
and uncalled for, Professor Bingham
said, that IL was improbable that the
scientific work they had begun would
be continued.
I'VE had great difficulty" the pro-
fessor said. 'in getting our cases Of
specimens out of the country and were
delayed seven weeks by the tedious OBJ
jections OF the Peruvian government.
At first the officials would not allow
US to take anything at all; then they
said that we could take half Of what
we had; then they permitted us to
take what they did not want. At last
they were persuaded to let is take all
the bones and fossils which we had
collected, but the decree Of the gov

Unbelievable Tortures.

The list OF tortures and methods OF
cruelty used Is too long for publica-
ton. Indians who couldn't or didn't
produce rubber were suspended with
their arms twisted and bound over
their heads and their feet swinging
while they were logged. Two hun
dred lashes a day constituted no un-
usual 1ogging.

Peru. The region can only be reach
ed from that city by travelling north
via Panama and thence to the mouth
OF the Amazon, continuing to Iquitos,
the most important inland city OF the
entire section, and then still farther In
land.
In 1896 the rubber possibilities of
the region were first discovered, and
the concession for collecting the sap
was given by the Peruvian govern
ment to the Arana Bros. The district
was inhabited by a harmless, peaceful
race of Indians. who were employed
In tapping the trees and collecting the
milk.
A campaign of most wasteful ex-
ploitation of the rubber possibilities
followed, In which the Indians we're
reduced to a state OF slavery by the
most shockingly barbaric methods.
Results only were asked without re-
gard to the future development of the
rubber possibilities.
Not only men. but women and chill
dren, were expected to furnish their
share of the supply or suffer the most
horrible torture.
In 1905 thirty-six Barbadian negroes,
British subjects, were imported as dep
uties, and the cruelty increased.
About this time the rubber conces-
sion was sold to the Peruvian Amazon
company, a British trading concern OF
good standing. II is not known wheth-
er 1t had any knowledge of the means
employed TO produce results, but the
system continued.

afire was a pastime. Many were burn
ed at the stake.
Professor Hiram Bingham, who had
been on an exploring expedition for six
months In Peru, searching for pre-Inca
remains In the region OF the Andes, re-
turned, accompanied by Professor Her
bert Il. Gregory and DIR. George f.
Eaton, both also Of Yale. The expedi
ton originally had eleven members.
and all but two have now returned.
Professor Bingham, who looked as
pale as n yellow fever immune, said
that the interior Of southern Peru was
being desolated by a succession of
plaques, including smallpox and ty-
plus fever, and that the government
was taking few steps TO check the
ravages of the scourges. DIR. Eaton
was i'll with camp fever. and Profes
sor Gregory was also incapacitated
from work for several weeks.
Professor Bingham brought back
with him fifty human skulls of a pre-
mean period and many skeletons, as
well as thirty cases of e%uriously
wrought bronze tablets and pieces Of
pottery, and DR.. Eaton collected fifty
cases Of bones to be sent on later, and
the fossillzed skeleton of a prehistoric
horse. Professor Bingham nearly lost
his life on one occasion when his mules
s%tampeded and the Indians forsook
him. He was for two days and nights
roaming about on the slopes of the
snow clad mountain, Palcol, with bare
ly any food and the chance of being
devoured by wild animals II he lay
down and went to sleep.

New Breakfast Food.

Popcorn for breakfast is Uncle
Sans latest advice to assist those
who desire some relief from the
high cost of living. Department
of Agricultural corn investigation
spe cialists declare popcorn Is su-
perior, when properly prepared
tor the table, to many of the
breakfast foods now on the mar
ket. And $50 worth of popped
corn in the form of 5scent pack
ages for the market represent an
Ontlay of only about 81 or $3.50
for raw material, these experts
say. This amount of corn can be
grown in a garden 20 feet by 40
feet.
In a farmers bulletin just is
sued the experts tell how to
grow popcorn, how to make it
into toothsome breakfast dishes
and advise the children of house
holds to take up this branch of
home farming.

One article of food seems des-
tined to be cheap this time.
Wheat crops in Canada were
never better according to reports
from that country, and now that
wheat is on the free list it will
come across the line and relieve
us TO some extent. The Repub-
lican tariff placed a duty of 25
cents a bushel on wheat, and if
this duty were still on, the good
wheat crops in Canada could not
benefit us any.

Prehistoric Egypt

Mr. Handbook has Just delivered leo
ture on prehistoric Egypt at the British
museum, the first of a course of four lee
lures.
After a detailed discussion of the dyn-
astic Egyptians on the one hand and the
prehistoric aborigines on the other, in
the course of which he showed a large
number of ivory, slate, bone and clay
figurines recovered from early Egyptian
graves, together with number of skulls,
he proceeded to examine some early GER
emonial slate palettes, which are illustra-
tive of the fauna of the county at that
period, as well of the artists skill,
says the Pail Mall Gazette.
These palettes were used for toilet pur-
poses. the malachine which was used for
face paint being ground upon them, and
it is interesting to note that traces of
paint are stil visible on some of them.
They are of further Importance. mas
much as they illustrate pictorially the
traditional conquest of the north by the
south prior to the unification of all Egypt
under one monarch. the legendary Mona,
one of whose historical counterparts would
appear to have been Aha-Men.
The early predynastic Egyptians were
Neolithic, and the fiints of their work.
manship are the finest wrought f1ints in
the world, but later on copper came into
use, and by the time of Aha-Men, one of
the earliest known kings, gold was also
known.
The Semitic element in the Egyptian
language proves conclusively that there
was a Semitic element in the blood of the
dynastic Egyptians, but this fact does
not seem to have much bearing on the
connection between the early Egyptian
and Babylonian civilizations as illustrat-
ed by the use of cylinder seals and SINH
lar shaped mace heads in both countries
In the very earliest times, for at the pc
riod in question the Sumerians and not
the Semites were in all probability the
ruling factors In Babylonian civilization.
Mr.. Handbook concluded his lecture with
some remarks on the paintings on early
Egyptian pottery, which showed that they
knew how to build and navigate sailing
boats as we'll as rowing boats from the
earliest times.

Business was comparatively quiet on
Morris avenue yesterday but the mer-
chants say that the demand is unusually
brisk for the day after. Thanksgiving.
The shipping clerks are still very much
rushed and many of them are wearing
a worried look. Christmas is now the
next holiday of note and it is expected
that quite a lively demand will be con-
tinually in evidence until after the Yule-
tide season is past.
The only apparent change in quotations
yesterday was that on red snapper There
was slight reduction in price and the
merchants say that the demand is only
fair. The supply is very good
Wednesday there was cleanup sale
of poultry turkeys coming in for much
greater share of demand than chickens
and other fowl. No change in quotations
has yet been registered and the demand
is but little quieter. There Is sure to
be great sale of turkeys about the 18th,
say the dealers, and they are preparing
for the rush.
