Japan Is now intensely modern in va

proven great power, but within the
realm the people are moved to asser-

ocratic and socialistic ideals Is at
work. And though the recent display
OF mob spirit has been quieted. the
occurrences at the nations capital give
indication OF q radical change marking

Iron Tires for Autos. Z:

It Is generally admitted that, a.
though the pneumatic tire is the weakest
part of an automobile, it makes the pres
-ent day car possible. Yet inventors
have been at work for years trying to
perfect solid tire of some sort that
would take the place of the air-filled
one. A New York inventor claims to
have accomplished the object with q
new wheel that has i7qp tires for the
ground and thu pneumatics midway be-
tween the outside rim and the hub.
Similar affairs have been tried 1 num-
Der OF times, but have been discarded
mainly because of excessive weight.
The inventor made an experiments trip
recently, which showed that the idea 10

numbers Of young men to seek liberal

lapse of years the marquis looked upon
his work and pronounced 1t good. Not

These terraces covering the sides OF
the hills are mostly on their northern
side. AS many as 40 terraces. one
above and behind the other are to be
found on any one hill Most of these
have earth behind them; but from the

They are retaining walls, and most
probably were used for horticultural
purposes. Their constructors were most
probably Arabians, for in south Arabs
similar hill terraces are also found.
some day the mystery which envel-
ops this part of Rhodesia will bo
cleared up. At present it presents 4
most fascinating field for Investigation,
in the study Of which much progress
has been made within the last few
years: But we may never, perhaps,
know the tragedy of the exodus Of
these ancient colonists.

hills will echo to the whistle and the
rumble of the trains that are to link

Traces of lost races ana ancient peo-
pies are to be found throughout tho

are to be found almost every hundred

problems which scientific men for years

FALL FASHION FOR MISSES.

A very sensible feature of the dress
Of the school miss Is the wash waist
and wash guimpe. The heavy cottons
are good and warm, and lighter weight
linens can be worn all winter over a
long-sleeved corset cover. Like their
mothers, the waists for older girls are
somewhat on the tailored order, but a
few have frills, q fashion put forth by
London tailors.
The favorite outdoor costume for
young girls for common wear Is the
1ong-coat suit of heavy wool; of serge,
cheviot. fancy weave. or mayhap broad
cloth. For dressy wear perhaps the
young lady will consider she must have
q short coat suit. Desirable separate
coats are Of 1seven-eighths length, but
the short coat continues in favor for
the more elaborate street costume.
THERE'S much buying Of separate
skirts for the school girl, and these are
made very plain, wholly untrimmed.
The same materials are employed as
used in the suits. Mohair waists prom
lse to be very popular, and there are
exquisite ones Of white on display. Mo-
hair school dresses will be worn all
winter; they have the advantage Of
easily shaking OF the dust and they
wear we'll If the better class of goods
Is purchased.
An attractive little frock for best ia
made of soft cashmere or henrietta.
There is a narrow, plain panel at the
front OF the skirt, and the rest falls
In largish pleats. The waist is q sur
plfce, the fullness confined in p1eats.
With variety in the chemisettes this
little costume will pass muster for
many occasions.
The right kind of schoolgirl does not
care to bother much about clothes,
wants something she can throw on
without waste Of time; and the alien
veloping wrap she looks upon as a true
friend. The one here illustrated Is Of
blue cloth, the color a little brighter
than navy; the fullness at the back ia
fitted by broad box pleats ornamented
with several rows of black silk stitch
ing; large dome-shaped buttons of dull
gilt relieve the plainness Of the front.
For the girl at the awkward age"
anywhere from II to IA, the makers of
children's clothes are now preparing
waists that have q flexible featherbone
in the under-arm seams. This does
not at all interfere with freedom OF
movement, and transforms shapeless

Writers and scientific men Of til.

Writers and scientific men Of the
present day are engaged in q never
ending, never-satisfied search for
things mysterious and 1t the same
time romantic. Let those who would
environ themselves in such conditions
invade the mountains Of southeastern
Zambesia in South Africa and the prod
uct would doubtless thrill the reading
world for years to come. 80.
This mountainous country teens
with romance and mystery. Rising to
a height OF 10000 feet above the sea
level, the Inyanga mountains give
those WHO seek the strange and weird
a climate which strongly resembles
that of Switzerland. The mountains
cover an area of country extending
about 100 miles from north to south
and so miles from east to west, lying
Immediately to the south of the mighty

. The openwork employed on the win

suits for morning wear, but many an

Gus. They have no similitude what
ever to the remains to be found in 9th
er parts of southern Rhodesia. The
Inyanga ruins form type by them
selves, and it would appear as If the
whole of the Inyanga country was once
one huge city. For 100 miles by. 60 it
is almost impossible to notice stone
which has not passed through human
hands. Who were the occupiers? What
was their object? How did they dis
appear? y. y. .
Whoever the people were they most
certainly understood the building art
Books of fiction call attention to an
old fort, which despite the fact that 1t
Is told of in unauthentic works, has
become matter of history, because of
its actual existence. The walls, even
at this late period are substantial, be-
ing constructed from six to ten feet
in width at different spots and the
ruined SUBMITS Of the rude turrets are
still about eight feet in height.
Rough stones Of all sizes and shapes
were used in their construction. That
this building was fort admits Of no
discussion. Its stragetic position, enor-
nous strength, narrow entrances and
loopholed walls, all point to this con-
clusion; besides which a terrace wal!
round the inside OF the main walls
enabled the defenders to throw spears
and shoot arrows on the enemy out
eide. The entrances are all covered,
and number 81. To enter the building
one has to stocp considerably along a
passage barely shoulders wide. There
are no less than so loopholes in the
walls. The interior of the fort is d.
vided into six Enclosures, the central
Enclosure being higher than the others,
and thus forming an inner citadel with
walls ten feet wide. Inside the ruins
are the remains az the stone walls Of
circular dwellings. We visited other
and similar hill forts in the district,
ead found their numbers to be aston
ishing.
One Of the features OF great interest
In the lnyanga region is the slave
pits. " These are found BY hundreds,
even within small area. Generally the
pits are found In clusters Of twos and
threes, or stngly ct distance OF not
80 yards apart. Fig trees Of great girth
grow on the floors or from the wall
masonry. These Are not Indigenous and

when any great problem confronted
him. Here he could think for hours
and no problem was ever faced that
did not succumb to a stay of day or
two 1000 feet above the sea level, it
is related. \
At one time there was an enormous
city located in the heart of the range
and here also some deep mystery rests
over the Inyanga range-the mystery
Of long-forgotten people who have
left substantial traces-of their labors
on every square mile Of this vast
stretch Of mountain country. Hill
terraces, stone forts, old aqueducts and
slave pits, are within the view of Wis
itors; the extent of country covered
with these remains is simply marvel
