TAI TO FAIRY STORY - .COD8CJENCE HAS DESTROYED KING SOLOMON'S MINES. the Ruins of Zimbabwe -The Oldese Material Found About Them Is of the Middle Ages, and There la No. thing to Show That the Arabs Ever )Had Anything' to Do With Them. Dr. Randall Maciver has blown up . :Xing Solomon's ellnes and left another. tf our cherished elusions a shapeless .111eav of ruins.

These striactures, de - .scribed on hearsay by more than one Portuguese chronieler of the later mid - ages, were n t seen by European • teyes till about forty years ago, when' 'els'alauch visited the elakulanga: and no 'peat account wa • mien of them be - Jere teeeteletish let:et:alien of the ter- tritore horth of the Limpopo.

Mr. Eider Haggard's well-known remance had much to do with the wide atten- tion that the ruins excited in this mutt. try; and there is no doubt that those responsible for the development • of Rhodesia were not unwilling that the 'glamour of a BibliCal past should be abed over the new territory. Has it not been told by a witty fabulist how !the financial fortunes of a certain com- • pany were enhanced when a learned German, "with admirable economy of proof," identified ite malarloup oonees- ••sion with the Ste ol of the Old Testa-• .lnent? Rhodes and ens Hobby. 73e effete as it may, Mr. Cecil Rhodes was prepared, nevertheless,. to put the question to the test of scientific exam- tnatien; and, largely at his instance, the late Mr. Theod ,re Bent was sent auteto Rhodesia in 1391. It'we.s an un- efortuntiie choice. Mr. Bent was an Intrepid explorer, of great resource. who was always accompanied by a wife not inferior to him in those qualities: but he had had no archaelegiCal training in youth, and, though he had, traveled among classical monuments, had not soeade their study his business, and had 'largely left the Publication of them tn ethers; nor had he ever done a piece of , scientific excavation.

It was in vaig that ia Etr archaeologists and ethnologists prd- ted. They saw no positive evidence of either high civilization or high anti- quity. The Rhodesian architecture eeemed to them mere stone -piling, and the carvings, mostly in the softest of atones, not better than the work of •any existing races low down in the wake of hurna.nity: Above all, they saw evidence of early Arabs -not a let- ter of their script, or a trace of their tsferic.s. The proofs of stellar orienta- •tion they took leave to doubt; and their attitude wa.s to be justified ere •flung iby a resurvey. Many objects fonnd-indeed, ell about whist certain- ly was possible -were of Kaffir origin. Could not the ruins themselves be na- 'eve African? They were told they did Dot know the Kaffir.
