Mr.. Meyer writes his Honolulu
friends that all over that country are
to be found thousands of holes which
were mines that were once worked by
the ancients OF course there is no
definite knowledge with regard TO
who worked them, but the legends OF
the country have caused them to be
called king Solomon's Mines" and it
is generally believed that these holes
are the ones from which the Jewish
king really got his gold. They are
scattered all over Matabele and Ma

never dig in the holes themselves,

unable to go deeper than sixty or sew

mines. When one is found people
know that gold can be found under
meath the ground and start new hole

A Scientific Dragon-Fly.

Most Of the inventions of man have
their counterpart In nature. The swan
is the model of the stately ship, deep
sea fish are found to carry with them
incandescent lamps to light them on
their way. and instances may be null
tiplied indefinitely. And now comes
a species of dragon fly which used the
twin screw as a propeller long before
Fulton thought of the steamship. This
is not an imaginary creature. as some
might suppose. 1t is, however, one OF
the most extraordinary creatures in the
world, and the only one of its kind.
Its owner, a former governor Of Port
land prison, was a keen collector Of all
sorts of beetles and winged insects.
Once during his wanderings in Brazil
he CHANGED upon what seemed to him
q dragon fly of unusual shape. Catch
ing it in his net he found to his as
constituent that in addition to its
wings 1t had twin archimedian screws.
one on each side of its long body, which
revolved in the same manner as a
ships screw. On his return to England
he was offered $500 for 1t by the au-
thorities of the British museum. Being
a man of wealth he declined the offer
and made 1t the center orna ment OF a
beautiful collection of tropical insects.
Unfortunately, in capturing it two OF
the blades were broken on one of the
screws: otherwise 1t was in perfect
preservation.
