MINE UNCOVERED
DISCLOSING SPLENDORS
OF AN AGE LONG PAST.
'
British Archaelogists Explor-
ing This Most Interesting of
All Relics of Antiquity.
Explorers backed by British money
are digging up the ruins of King Solo-
mon's ancient citadel in South Africa,
the centre of the mining district from
which his huge stores of' -gold were dc -
rived. They are the most mysterieus,
as well as the most interesting of all
memorials of antinquity, and are
known to -day, in'the native language,
as the Great Zimbabwe ---meaning
"Here Is the Great Kraal."
- .
,The Great Zimbabwe 'was in, Solo-
mon's time a large anti poprilous city,
Ss may be judged by the fact that its
recognliable ruins cover an area of
more than three square miles. Doubt-
less its extent wasenuch greater, inas-
much as outside of this area are scat-
tered remains of many importa,nt
structures, an mounds hundreds of
yards in circumference which have
been found to contain conical towers,
traces of walls, etc.
The city was formidably fortified,
and must have been garrisoned by re-
giments of troops. In the middle of
It rose an isolated granite "kopje" two
hundred and fifty feet high, which was
crowned by a fortress. The latter. was
'probably in its day the naiAtiest
stronghold in the world, an unassail-
able citadel, its south side being de-
fended by ninety feet of sheer preci-
pice, while massive labyrinthine walls
rendered approach to the summit pos-
sible only through narrow passages
easily blocked.
The mines of King Solomon were
worked by a multitude of captive
Negro slaves, and all of the gold out-
put was brought to the Great Zimbab-
we to be bonVerted into' ingots for
shipment. It was thence that cara-
vans departed eastward for the sea-
port mow called Sofala, a journey of
two hundred miles, carrying, under'
armed, guard, gold, ivory," and other
precious merchandise destined for
,
Palestine and Arabia.
- Jewellery of Olden Days.
In the Great Zimbabwe are found ex-
tensive work -shops for the handling of
gield, in which objects of that metal
(as discovered by excavation) were
strewn over the cement floors "ai
thiols as nails in a carpenter's shep."
There were also furnaces for melting
the gold, soapstone molds into which
It was poured to make ingots, burnish-
ing tools, etc. , The manufacture of
gold jewellery seems to have been pur-
sued, on a considerable scale, judging
from the number of bangles and other
ornaments. recovered from the ruins.
The region, here described is now
believed to be the Havilah of Scrip-
ture, which speaks of "the whole land
of Havilah, where there is gold." The
seaport of Sofala (on the East Afri-
can coast, close to the twentieth paral-
lel of south latitude) is almost un-
doubtedly the Tarshish of the -Bible.
When the latter mentions. Solomon's
"ships of Tarshish," it refers to "his
fleet of sailing vessels which voyaged
southward through the Red Sea and
down the African shore to Sofala.
Mining engineers, as a result of care-
ful study of the ancient workings,
have estimated that at least $400,000, -
worth of gold must have been taken
out of them before—rather suddenly,
it would appear— they were abandon-
ed. Solomon's share was doubtless
large, judging from the plentifulness
of the precious metal in Jerusalem, as
described in the Bible, where, as we
are told, "silver was nothing account-
ed of in the days of Solomon," and
was "made to be as stones." Very
likely he obtained much additional
gold through trade with the Hiniyari-
tes and Sabaens..
It is thought entirely possible that
some of the workings, date -batik to a
Period before- the birth of Moses, and
It may be that the ,Great Zimbabwe it -
'self is, as much as 4,000 years old.

The invisible ear drum invented by
A. 0. Leonard, which is a miniature
e fittingmegaphoninside the ear en-

and head noises, and it does this so
successfully that no one could tell he
is agstreaf man. It is effective when
deafness is caused by catarrh or by
perforated, or wholly destroyed natur-
al drums. A request for information

-Weight of a Crowd.
Interesting experiments were made
some tinae ago at Harvard University
which seein to demonstrate that en-
gineers usually underestimate the
maximum loading, caused by dense
crowds 'en bridges, floors and plat-
forms. Forty men averaging lers
poimds in weight placed in a box six
feet square caused an average pres-
sure of 181 pounds to the square foot
an the floor.
An engineer has estimated the
weight per spuare foot of the densest
crowds on the New York elevated
railways at only 46 pounds, but, since
the Harvard experiments the opinion,
has been expressed that the maximum
loading oe the elevated cars and plat-
forms may be nearer 181 than 46
pounds. This applies to other close
packed crowds.
