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

he had had no archaelegiCal training in
youth, and, though he had, traveled
among classical monuments, had not

'largely left the Publication of them tn

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-

their attitude wa.s to be justified ere
