KING SOLOMON'S MINES: TRUTH OR MYTH ?
That the Biblical Ophir-the, place. whence Solomon draw hla atores of, gold- was in Rhodesis, and that the grest rain standing in that Central African province Are rate witnesses to the fast, ta believed implicitly by the ordinary citizen who has red certain recent books of travel Ethnologists and antiquariana have not been so sure, and if we are to credit the last back on the subject-Medieval Rhadesin,"by D. Randall-Maeiver-there Dever, was the elightest foundation for such a claim. Mr Macivor, we are told by s writer in The Times Saturday Review (New York), is the first trained archeologlet who ever examined the Rhodesian ruins. Bent, who was part out by Co 1 Rhodes in 1891, and Hell, who followed him, were, the writer aaya, intrepid explorers of no special archeological trailing, but with abundant imagination, Rider Haggard helped out a little with his stories, and ea the "Solomon's-wines" myth graw op.' Says the reviewer:
"He [Bont] came back to report the ruins to be of fabulous antiquity and mon- |umentai grandeur; he brought home cortair 2181 carved and other objects as pièces de ron.

His book, The Roined Cition of Bashonaland,' settled the question for moe" people at home and for all South Africans, and, if a certain well-known story, bo true, the man who dared thetoniter to diabt that Solomon got his gold from Zimbabwe was told he had no imperial instinct.'
"It was in vain that x for archeologista and ethnologists protested. They Biw no positive oxidence of either high civilization or high antiquity. The Khodesian archites- ture seemed to them more stone-piling, and the carvings, mostly in the softest of stones, not better than the work of many existing races low down in the sails of humanity. Abors all, they saw no ovidence of early Arabs-not a latter of their script or a trace of their fabrics. The proofs of stellar orientation they took leave to doubt, and their attitude wa to be justified ere long by a re-survey. Many objects found-indeed, all about which
