Jewellery of Olden Days. In the Great Zimbabwe aro found ex- tensive workshops for the handling of gold, in which objects of that metal (as discovered by excavation) were strewn over the cement floors "es thick as nails in a carpenter's shop." There were also furnaces for melting the gold, soapstone melds, Into which 'it was poured to make ingots, burnish. ing tools, etc. The manufacture of gold jewellery seems to have been pur- sued an a considerable scale, judging froau the number of,bangles and other ornaments recoett from •tbc ruins. The regiou here described is now believed to be the Havilah of Scrip- ture, which speaks of "the whole land of 1-lavilah, where there is gold.' The seaport of Sotale (on -the East Afri- can coast, close to the twentieth paral- lel of south latitude) is' aliuost un- doubtedly the Tarshish of- the Bible. When the latter mentions. Solomon's "ships of Tarsbish," it refers to his fleet of sailing vessels which voyaged southward through the Red Sea and down the African shore to Settle, 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 obtaiued much additional' gold through trade with the Hfneyari- tes and Sabaens. It isa thought entirely possible that some of the workings date back to a period before the birth of Moses, and It may he that the Great Zimbabwe it- self is as much as 4,000 years old, Trading Forty Centuries Ago, One may easily picture to himself the tame wizen a crowd was assemb- led on the hilltop, or on the lower elopes of the lcopje, to watch the de- parture of a caravan eastward foe the sea coast—a long train of Negroes carrying gold, ivory, and other export products of the region. The Bible tells us that Solomon obtained' from Tar - shish apes, parrots. and gpantities Ref spices, Thence also carne slaves in large numbers. Doubtless ostrich feathers• and the plumes of other birds were luclutled in the consignments bound for Palestine. The people in the crowd were dress- ed in short armless tunics, and worn on their arms, legs, wrists and ankles hnassive -gold bangles, exquisitely made and chased in Zimbabwe de- 'slgns, with Mains of heavy gold beads around their necks. Some of tire men bore in their hands rods of office, with beaten gold sun images at the tops•, while. others held battle-axes, of gilded eopper•and spears with heads thickly plated with gold. It was all so very long ago! But the story is always of gold. In the temples -of the Great Zimbabwe have been found considerable quantities. of. gold dust, just as it came from the mites. Also crucibles, he which the precious stuff was melted, gold cake and bar gold, Ainong the, most curious objects recovered from the rums are large numbers of tiny gold tacks, which were used for fastening a thin gold sheathing upon sheets al copper. The glories of the Great Zimbabwe —the wonderful city of Salomon and the Arabian kings -althea long passed away. Its ruins are literally the haunt of the snake and the owl. The Rhode- sian natives of to -day believe tient to be infested by ghosts. But enough of them remain to furnish for many years to come an invitation to further ex- ploration by archeologists.

If you ever tried to steer one you wouldn't ask. Because it takes so long to got them ready to go anywhere. They need 'almost as much dolling up and, painting as any woman you ever saw. A ship's got to leave its. own way or it won't go. Ships always come off the ways backwards like the members of a oer- tain sex alighting from street cars. It coats so much to keep one in operation. • Why, they are always calling at sono place or another. • Because shipbuilders can't live with- out them. Who ever won an argument from them? . There's plenty of scandal connected with their building. Because they were held together with steel. Because they were forever blowing off steam. Because they frequently tossed their noses in the air. • Human Targets for Shells. The most dangerous job in the world, it is claimed, is that of a group of United state, airmen who, go up to be ssbped with ehreenei shells in order that the goners may have genuine anti-aircraft practice. The airman, with nerves not merely of iron, but as you might say, of chill- ed steel, goes up till he reaches 10,000 it, or 10,000 ft. Then he wirelesses to the gunners, giving them his exact heiglit. -. Adjusting the fuses of their shells accordingly the gunners blaze away. They are obliging enough not to aim exactly at hie machine, hut in order that he can tell them the precise height at which the shells are burst- ing, it is necessary for the shells to be as near the aeroplane as perusals', and -well, shrapnel is not at all pleasant stuff to have bursting and flying about you.

You'd Be Ugly in Japan. It has happened more than once that a Japanese baby has howled and shrieked In terror at the eight of a 'beautiful, fair-haired, blue-eyed Eng- lish girl. This' may strike you as comic or tragic, but it is a fact. Japanese standards' of feminine beauty are'dif- ferent from ours,. A Japanese .beauty must have straight black hair with the slightest tendency to wave, she will take end- less trouble to straighten it out—as much trouble, fn fact, as an English girl would take to produce the oppo- site effect. Her face should he narrow and long; her forehead laigh and narrow at the middle, but wider and lower at the sides, so that it corresponds as nearly as possible to the outline of Fuji, the mountain beloved by Japanese artists, Her eyes, of course, must be long and narrow, slanting upwards at the oornere; the eyebrows mere shad- awe, and high above the eyes; her complexion ivory white with -little. or no color. The Japanese girl carries her bead and shoulders slightly forward, and in- clines her body forward from the waist. She walks with short, quick steps, her toes turned In and her feet hardly lifted from the ground, To walk otherwise would be immodest! Home of Two. Apostles Discovered. Excavations made under the church of San Sebastian on the Appian Way thieve brought to light the most ancient Christian monument yet discovered, says a despatch from Rome. I•t con- sists of the remains of a house in which, judging from inscriptions on the wail, St. Peter and St. Paul lived when they were in Rome. The excavators now hope to solve the vexed question of the locality of the temporary, tomb in which the bodies of the two saints were hidden to foil the attempts of Oriental Christ tians to steal the bodies when the apostles died. Professor Marucobi, in charge of the excavating expedition, believes• that the tomb will be found soon if his funds hold out.
