RUINSOFftNGIFNT CITT DISCOVERED HUTJpe Field Museum’s Archaeological Expedition in Colombia Makes Finding. DR. MASON SENDS WORD Fabulous Stores of Cold Are Expected to Be Found by Explorers. By United Sties CHICAGO, Aug. 16.—Ruins of a marvellous ancient city in which may he discovered fabulous stores of gold, and which is, at any rate, one of the biggest discoveries in the archaeology of the Western Hemisphere, have been uncovered in Colombia by the Field Museum's South American Archaelogical 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 archaeologists, ud even to the Colombians themBelves, it is said. Unable to Learn Name Once it was one of the world's great centers of population, according to the message from Dr. Mason received here, but so far the explorers have been unable to learn its name. It appears the Inhabitants were a Eemi-civilized race of agricultural j tribes. The expedition has only begun to ' work on the ruins, but an extraor- j dinary number of gold ornaments j have been found. Dr. Mason said in hts message to 1 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 mountainous and the houses, which were of wood, were built on terraces made with retaining walls. "The principal place where I have been working has a long staircase of forty-eight steps, all made of nicely- j cut quadraneular stone slabs. In- j stead of the Indian road of which I have heard, there are thousands of j them all through the mountains, i There are apparently wide roads connecting the main sites.” ANNOUNCE CONTEST L. S.

Thousands Ravine by

BT DONALD D. HOOVER, I Timet Staff Correspondent. BROOKLYN, Ind., Aug. 16.—We | all knew it must have happened somewhere and at last it has been discovered. Scientists tell us that everything j expands when it gets hot. Nobody will deny it has been hot, hot enough to expand anything. Now, old Mother Earth herself has expanded. It happened near this town, out where it didn't hurt anybody. If it had happened anywhere else, in the | center of Indianapolis, for instance. It would have been a different stoi-y. The old earth just naturally swelled up and burst. The explosion moved thousands of tons of soil, filling a gully seventy-five feet deep and 200 feet wide at one

CAS? The cause of the upheaval near Brooklyn was likened to the blowing up of a balloon until it burst. Henry Lane Bruner, professor of geology at Butler College, offered this explanation when the circumstances and the physical appearance of the upheaval were described to him. Prof. Bruner said, advancing the theory that gas was the cause. "The gas expanded probably faster than ft could escape, so it ex ploded,” he said. Prof. Bruner believed the gas worked to the surface from a compressed subterranean pocket, expanding 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.

"When I entered this department ; I was told not to pay any attention Ito anonymous letters, but when a check-up reveals such conditions as these, it is too much. Frequently letI ters carry the warning not to tell the , district patrolman, for he will tip the | place ahead of the raid. "In acting on complaints of this nature, spec.al squads have been sent to the place. In the future,” the chief l added, "whenever a place is found on a i man's beat and he has not turned in I the complaint and asked for help to raid it. I am going to call, that man | on the carpet. “Too many of these calls to my office will result in dismissal. Such ; a patrolman is not fit for this de- ; partment. I do not want to have to I come before you men like this again."
