Part of the Old Inca Wall and tht Temple of the Sun, Cuzco.
Tiiic traveleiVwho is ably t? en
tluro high altitudes will look
about the world today be
<i fore finding a more pic
turesque or Interesting historic spot
than the region of the . Peruvian
Andes, the original home of the Incas.
Cuzco, the City of the Sun, was thelfc
capital and the sent of the old dynasty
that tniled an empire extending from
Quito In Ecuador to the southern coast
of Chile. . . . .
Here on the west coast of South
Amerleji there existed a civilization in
the early port of the sixteenth cen
tury when the Spanish conquerors ar
rived which was more advanced and
productive of agricultural results, es
pecially. than that which has been
seen since under the rule of the Peru
vians of Spanish stock, writes Clayton
Sedgwick Cooper In Christian Herald.
Although these Inqa remains aro
found throughout the Andean sections
of Peru, the capital city of these races
of men. who lived and worked and
carried on an ordered civilization l^ng
before' our fair North American lands
were discovered or settled, continues
to be the great center of interest to
thdse who find -In these early ruling
races of South America subjects of
fascinating study. Every part of Cubco
is remindful of the past. It Is one 6f
the most antique and spectacular of
cities. It is too remote to have been
very thoroughly modernized ? as yet,
though n railway recently built, and
owned by an English comphny, con
nects It with the west coast at Mol
lendo, after a two days' train ride.
"Sorochee," or mountain slekness, ;is
common to travelers visiting these
lofty regions where one reaches over
14,000 feet above sea-level. Yet the
proximity to the equator affords u cli
mate capable of permitting many kinds
of agriculture on the rolling plains and
In the rich valleys of this mountain
world. White men are comparatively
few. Mixed breeds abound. The In
dians do virtually all the work, and
under conditions that resemble slav
ery mueli too closely.
Strange Scene? in -the City. .
As one enters C!uzco through a wide
green valley studded frequently with
Indian villages, he finds this old nnd
famous sopt of power lying In a hollow'
Of the hills, with green mountain* nil
about and an air of remoteness ^and
age afforded by the decaying buildings
and great Inca walls and temples. It
Is at once evident that the city with
its wide plazas was built for a much
larger population than that which is
found there today. The sanitary con
dition of the town reminds one of
Seoul, Korea, before the Japanese ar-*
rived. The medieval air of eccleslas
ticlsm.ls felt in the old churches, the
cathedra), and in the monasteries filled
with Spanish priests. The Indians
wfiose famous capital here at Cuzco
ruled the land, now sell their trinkets
nnd vegetables in the market^ places
under picturesque booths nnd dad in
their even more picturesque ponchos
and fiat, round hats; or bend double
beneath their heavy loads as they trot
through the winding streets.
The Plaza des Armes of <*uzco is
unforgettable. It Is a sen of color,
color everywhere. There are Indian
men and women in variegated clothing
from the distant Sierras, modern
cholos wearing hats made ln-<3ermany;
a team of mules drags the antiquated
Cuzco horse-car and lone trains of
lofty-necked llamas sweep by you each
with his hack-full -of alpaca from the
M#h Interiors.
Shops and Their Keepers.
We called It ? four-ringed circus,
and so It is; aa you sit in this great
flower-fllled square, more than eleven
thousand feet above sea-level, the
semltroplcal sun shedding Its warmth
radiantly upon your head through the
thin, Transparent, cloudless air. you
llnd yourself wondering which way to
face lest something of the strange
ever-unfolding scenes escape your
gaze. One side of the square. Is llped
t5y a ?arow~of llttts ihopii filled With 57
varieties of merchandise In which pre
dominate gay-colored saddles and di
verse accoutrements for the burros
and pack animals, with profuse deco
rations of rod and green and blue
wool; bofore these shops sit Indian
and cholo women holding In their
hands spindle spools which they manip
ulate dexterously during the Intervals
of tradd, spinning the wool and weav
ing It Into the poncho and eaps and
full shirts of the native dress. ?
?Al>ove these quaint places of~~mer
chandlse in the top of these two-storied
houses that spread out over the side
walks are homea with elaborately
carved biM conies overhanging the
street In old Spanish fbshlon, and with
red tiled roofs that glitter in the bright
sunshine.
Cathedral and Fortress.
On auothfcr Bide of the? plnr.it stands
the anclejit cathedral, built an one In
told of the famous Inca stone and con
taining the brother of Plzarro and that
Spanish conqueror's partner, Almargo.
On the doors of tho chapel of San
tiago, adjoining the cathedral, one can
read the legend preserved In archaic
sculpture of St. James coming down
visibly on his white horse, standing
with Innce In rest, turning the tide
of battle In favor of the Spaniards, thus
noting the last throes of the famous
Incn empire.
On still another side of the square,
?you can study the remarkable facade
of the old Jesuit church and the an
cient University of Cuzco founded in
the sixteenth century, which buildings
are said to be connected by an under
ground passage, associated with many
an historic intrigue in the days that
are dead.
These great piles of aucient mason- ,
ry look straight away to the east where
the great megallthlc fortress of Sacsa
hunmah, that cyclopean structure of
ten called tho ninth wonder of the
world, tops the hill (K)0 feet above the
city, and where ono climbs to behold
the rock remains which guarded the
aboriginal Inca empire of Manco Ga
pe c. On the summit stands a cross
beating the Inscription to the effect
that he who climbs the hill kisses the
crucifix and says n prayer at the foot
of the cross, to him a hundred days of
Indulgence shall be granted.
