GAS?

The cause of the upheaval near
Brooklyn was likened to the blow
ing up Of a balloon until 1t burst.
Henry Lane Bruner, professor of
geology at Butler College, offered
this explanation when the circum-
stances and the physical appear
ance of the upheaval were de
scribed to him. Prof. Bruner said,
advancing the theory that gas was
the cause.
''The gas expanded probably fast
er than it could escape, so it ex-
ploded, he said.
Prof. Bruner believed the gas
worked to the surface from a com
pressed subterranean pocket, ex-
panding as it rose upward through
the loose soil. When the surface
Of soil became too thin, as in the
case of the hypothetical balloon, it
burst, and the earth was catapulted
down the gully

CHICAGO. Aug. 16.-Ruins of a

he discovered fabulous stores of gold,

biggest discoveries in the archaeology
Of the Western Hemisphere, have
been uncovered in Colombia by the
Field Museums South American Arch
aelogicaI expedition. according to a
message to the museum from DR.. J.
A. Mason, head Of the party.
This ancient city. lying in a now
uninhabited section some forty miles
from the Caribbean coast and twenty
miles south of Santa Marta. has been
hitherto unknown to archaeoiogists.
Nand even to the Colombians them
felves, it is said.
Unable TO Learn Name
Once it was one of the worlds great
centers of population, according to
the message from DIR. Mason re
ceived here, but so far the explorers
have been unable to learn its name.
It appears the inhabitants were a
semi-civilized race OF agricultural
tribes.
The expedition has only begun to
work on the ruins. but an extraor
dinary number Of gold ornaments
have been found.
DR.. Mason said in his, message to
the Museum:
Built on Terraces
There must have been a tremen-
dous population here at one time, as
the country is covered with house
sites. The region IS very mountain
Gus and the houses, which were of
wood, were built on terraces made
with retaining walls.
The principal place where have
been working has a long staircase Of
fOrty-eight steps, all made Of nicely
cut quadrangular stone slabs. In
stead OF the Indian road of which I
have heard. there are thousands Of
