Were the men who built the pre-
historic structures at Zimbabwe IN
Africa Of the same race as the Aztecs
and other native races that have left
pyramids and monuments Of various
kinds throughout Central and South
America? This speculation takes its
rise from the uncovering at Umtali in
Africa Of an "arrastre" stone. Ar
arrastre Is a rude apparatus used In
Mexico and in some parts of the
United States for grinding. and, at
the same time, amalgamating ores
containing free gold and silver. IL
consists Of a vertical axis with hori.
zontal arms attached. To these arms
huge masses Of rock are fastened by
chains and dragged over the ore,
which Is placed on bed OF fiat stones.
within a circular Enclosure usually
about twelve feet in diameter. The
arrastre stone at Umtali was dis
covered by mining engineers In the
region OF the prehistoric gold mines.
II Is believed that the people who
built the old temples and courts at
Zimbabwe must have been the same
as those who ground and amalgamat-
ed the metallic ores with those crude
indictments.

RESERVOIR BURSTS. MANY DEAD.
Accident Near Madrid Results In Death or
Injury OF 400 Persons.


MADRID. April S.-A large reservoir in
course Of construction near this city col
lapsed to-day and many lives we're lost.
It Is believed that the casualties will number
400.
The disaster created great sensation
throughout the city and all business was

covered. and the number OF the injured Is
increasing All the latter are seriously hurt.
The ambulance stations are overlooking.
Gendarmes, troops and fremen and large
staff OF surgeons are engaged in the work
Of rescue.
The disaster created intense excitement
among the working classes. Professions
Of women carrying black flags marched
through the district where the accident
happened. crowd went to the shipping
district and compelled the storekeepers to
close their establishments as a sign OF
mourning.
One of the injured worlSmen says the
accident was so sudden that he could not
explain the cause. The workmen expected
some disaster to happen, as fortnight
ago three Of the arches OF the reservoir
collapsed and four others we're badly
cracked.
King Alfonso was at Carahanchel when
he heard Of the disaster Accompanied by
the Ministers he proceeded at once TO the
scene. where he was enthusiastically cheered.
The King was apparently deeply moved
and insisted on personally experimenting
the rescue operations. He was surrounded
while at the scene by crowds Of weeping
women. The King remained with the
workers for some time,
on his return 10 the palace he despatched
an abundance Of supplies for those at the
scene OF the work II IL believed the acoi-
dent was due 10 q sudden subsistence OF the

The Minister Of Agriculture has ordered
an inquiry into the disaster.
