...other. The floor was of solid rock, and these grooves had been hollowed with care. It was also observed that the tunnel sloped slightly in the direction of the city; and Senor Alvarotez has evolved this remarkable plausible hypothesis. When the tunnel was in use, there had been two cars of some sort, on wheels, one on each track. These cars were joined by a cable the length of the tunnel, so that when one car was at the university end the other was at Machu Picchu. It may be presumed that there were always more students going toward...
...sights of Princeton".

...only right, then, that members of General Foch's party should have feared that the strenuous schedule of activities he has been following would seriously impair his health. When we hear that he has spent only four nights since his arrival in any other lodging than a Pullman car, we do not blame them for being anxious lest his preliminary activities tire him to the extent of making his attendance at the Conference unwise, if not impossible. We rejoice, therefore, to hear that the General shows few signs of strain, and has gained ten pounds since he landed in this...
