SHORT LIFE

Mah-jongg Craze Dies Out.

Mah-jongg, the 2,000 years old game Introduced into England from China a fow years ago, is suffering from a steady deoline.

The craze long since reached its zenith, but, like other games, such as pontoon, coon-oan, backgam- mon, and pat-and-take, found its popularity only suddenly to die down again. Mah-jongg is rarely played nowadays.

18

The only stabilised games," said a buyer in a large store to a Daily Express representative, "are bridge and whist. All the others have their day and fade away. Mah-jongg, although it created a furore when first introduced, never really ousted bridge from favour, for it did not demand the same acute memory and concentration." Another buyer attributed 'the decline of mah-jongg to the advent of the cross-word puzzle craze," which is said to have been respon- eible for the financial difficulties of the Pung Chow Company, do- mestic manufacturers of mah- jongg sets, which recently had a receiver appointed to deal with

wonderful terraced ruins at In- yanga, Southern Rhodesia, by Mr. Edward Rossiter, who says that he has discovered 10ft, deep under the alluvial soil an unciont urn containing five very thick copper bangles. When it was exposed. to, the air the urn crumbled to dust.

The Assistant Curator of the Rhodesia Museum says that the bangles were probably taken from the legs of dead slaves. Mr. Ros- sitor estimates their age at from 8,000 to 10,000 years. They are the only articles made by man Leror, discovored in the terraced: ruins.. Professor Dart, Prófessor of Anatomy at Witwatersrand University, agrées that the find is of the first importance to ar chaeologists.

The Inyanga district of Rho dosia, a long narrow strip of coun-1 try lying cast of Salisbury and adjoining Portuguese East Africa, is noted for the number of its ruins, which are exceeded in in- terest among Rhodesian ruins by those of Zimbabive only. An area, of some 60 by 40 miles is covered with the remains of stone buildg: ings, aqueducts, stone-lined pits, and stone terraces, the terraces on the hill sides being perhaps the feature which is most striking to the visitor. The aqueducts, which lead oft from artifical dams show a high degree of skill in tlie con- struction.Itis supposed that the terraces and aqueducts were part of a large irrigation work. Hit- herto no clue has Leen, obtained as to the builders of these ruins.
