THE NEW KING OF ETHIOPIA.
ONE OF THE CLEVEREST BRAINS IN AFRICA.
A DESCENDANT OF SOLOMON AND THE QUEEN OF SHEBA.
There is a new king in Africa. He is as Tafari Makonnen, King of Kings, Emperor, of Ethiopia and a full description of his recent coronation was wired to Hong Kong by Reuter'a Ltd.
Despite his high-sounding titlo he 3.19 3.40 6.89 0.88 8.4916, in appearance, not particularly impressive. The man who claims -17.30-'
descent from that historic meeting between the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon certainly possesses definitely Hebraic features. He is alight in build, being unusually sinall for an African, and his hands are as delicate as any woman's. But this unimpressive king has also one of the cleverest brains in Africa,

At this time, when his triumph is acclaimed by the European nations and the many chiefs of Africa, ho is only 37. A youthfu! age in Europe, but old in Africa. And there is nothing youthful in the quiet dignity and sure power of Kas Tafari.
Knows Europe and Its Waya. He is one of the few Africans who know Europe well. He has visited London, Paris and Roine, and speaks more than one European languago. He has his representa- tives in America, as well as in most European countries. There is not a new type of rifle, machine gun, or neroplane invented of which nowa doustnot reach this African king. And, sooner or later, patterns of the new gun or the latest aeroplano reach the highlands of Abyssinia.
A Moderniam. Most Europeats find Ras Tafari restrained. True ho is a king who is very conscious of his kingship. He talks courteously, behaves with dignity, is gonerous in hospitality but he rarely smiles. The cares of the Empire of Ethiopis seem to hang heavy upon him. And for one who is determined to bring his of the depths of country out medievalism into the light of modern civilisation, the task is not only tremendous, but also delicate. and dangerous.
His relaxations are few. For man who attends to almost every detail of the administration, whe-. Although the majority of his coun- ther judicial, military or purely trymen shut themselves off from economic, there is little time for Europe and its culture, limiting leisure. Nevertheless, he seizes op- themecives to nefarious dealings portunities for sport. He is a fine with white in-runners and the horseman, an excellent shat with like, Ras Tafari early developed rifle or rovolver and, like most an insatiable curiosity regarding Abyssinians, rarely wastes a cart those territories beyond the parpio ridge. But his Arab horses have mountains.
given way to a powerful Italian car, and the development of his own air service under the tuition of the French pilot, André Maillet, fas- cinates him more than hunting.
It is characteristic of the man that on his first visit outside Abyssinia, to Aden, he insisted upon having a flight in an acroplane there, the first
