and most important ruin discovered In
South America since the days of the

the ruins of the city of Machu Picchu,
the cradle of the Inca empire on the
top of the Peruvian Andes-was
brought about by the chance meeting
Of an expedition under the auspices of
the National Geographic society and
Yale university with a Peruvian In
dian. Details of the discovery became
known today, when the society made
public the preliminary report of Prof.
Hiram Bingham of Yale, director of
the expedition.
Machu Picchu,' says Professor
Bingham, "is essentially a city of ref
uge. 1t Is perched on a mountain top
In the most inaccessible corner of the

banda river. So far as / know, there
Is no part Of the Andes that has been

years ago. Barely % years old, ELL

smiled while talking.

Going through the forest one day,
100 miles from a white man or ma

animal on the order of jaguar, or

and he got my hand in his mouth.
Here Is what he left me- 1t is prac-

TO do without 1t very well.
SHARK GOT HIS LEG
II left the jungles and went to
Tahiti, and in my first dip into the
waters of that smiling land my devil
luck returned. A shark. not the reg

got my leg and he speared the flesh
off. It was necessary to undergo an
amputation. All I could get in Pa
peete was a wooden pin and 1 hobbled
on that until I got to Hongkong.
