ANCIENT CITY OF THE INcAs


Visions of departed glory are con-
jured by the news that the ruins Of an
Inca city, hitherto unknown to arch
biologists. have been discovered on the
summit Of the Peruvian Andes. There
il. perhaps, no more fascinating chap
ter in the history of the western heini-
sphere than that which deals with the
remarkable civilization of this South
American race.
Prof. Hiram Bingham of Yale de-
clares the ruins to be the largest, with
the one exception of Cuzco. that have
yet been discovered. They derive
additional interest from the fact that
they have remained unoccupied since
they were deserted by their original in
habitants. and may thus be counted
upon to tell a story unmarried by the
alterations of human design.
Archeologists think the Cuzco val
ley of Peru was settled by the Incas
some 300 years before Pisarro landed
on the coast. It was in 1897 he first
cast envious eyes upon the wealth and
glory Of this new world empire. He
returned to Spain with his story, and
made . contract to conquer the
empire. He paid the price Of his life
to crafty his ambition, but the Inca
empire fell and the glories Of . great
people passed whom Spain took pos
session.
The city Of Machu Pichu escaped
Spains discovery. hidden In its noun
tain fastness. and we await with inter-
est the revelations it, undisturbed
treasures may afford. Assuredly
archaeology win b enriched. and there
10 reason to hope that art may gain
