Ethiopia was the name given by the Greeks
to a country south of Egypt variously concelv-
ed as including only Nubia (Aethiopia AegyptD,
or Nubia Sonnar Kordofan and Abyssinla or
region extending indefinitely east and west
from the Upper Nile. but applied after the rail-
of Meroe more particularly to Abyssinia The
name is said to have had its origin from the
fact that 1t was alluded to by the Greeks as
country of sunburDed faces.
Historically there were three distinct king
doms known as Ethiopia those of Napata, Me-
roe and Askum There is no definite evidence
that either of these included at any time all
the territory between the southern border OF
Egypt and Bah ell Mandeb
Already in the time of the old empire the
Egyptians had relations with their southern
neighbors From the forests Of Nubia they OBJ
tanned large proportion of their timber and
the city of Abu (Elephantine) derived Its name
from the ivory which found it's way to this
place from the interior of Africa. King Uncas

The most powerful Nubian people at this time
was Kash or Kosh the Hebrew Cush. 1t Is
probable that the stock was originally Hamitic,
though In course of time II absorbed various
Negritic tribes. Usertesen III &c. 2409-2372)
established his frontier north Of the second
cataract and built for its protection two forts
at Semneh and Kummeh on opposite sides Of
the river Whether the Hyksos kings ever held
possession of this territory Is doubtful. At any
rate 1t had to be recognized by Aahmes (1575-
1881 the founder Of the eighteenth dynasty
and his successors. Napata probably had been
the capital of the independent kingdom, since
It was made the residence of the viceroy, en-
titled prince of Kosh, who governed the new
Egyptian province. In the time of Rameses ii

have extended her power in the north, and
twenty-five provinces are said to have been

destroyed by the Romans Another Queen

Zoscales, who controlled the coast from Masso-

PROFESSOR Garstang at Meroe, In the Suuau'
Professor Sayce In 1909 located the site OF the
city of Meroe the east bank OF the Nile, De
tween the Fifth and Sixth Cataracts, and the ex-
cavations carried on by Professor Garstang at
the end of 1909 enabled the details OF the Ethio-
plan capital to become known. The Temple OF
Anon where the Ethiopian Kings were crowned
was also discovered. Even more interesting is
the excavation of the beautiful Sun Temple,
which was discovered at the edge OF the knor,
or meadow thus confirming the account OF Hero
dotus. who tells us that Cambyses sent TO the
Ethiopian King to inquire about the Table OF
the Sun" in meadow lin the suburbs OF the
capital where cooked meats were set each

referred to In the Homeric legend that Zeus

days among the blameess Philippians. Many
others buildings were also explored and the
Temples of the Lion and the Kenisa were dis
covered. 1t may be noted that the lo1 emblem

have been the totem of the district. Many beau

THE STANCE.
By ID. j. LIVE.

In taking the position to drive the
ball from the tee. the very first step
in the game of golf, 1t is necessary to
understand the placing of the feet
properly on the ground in relation TO
the location of the ball on the tee in
front of the player has a very import
ant bearing. on the result of the OBJ
tanned in striking the ball. Some play
ers play off of the left foot, some play
the square stance, but the majority OF
the players play off the right
For my part, I believe the open
stance is the easier of the three to play
with. 1 find by playing off the right
foot, 1 possess much better control
over the ball. which is a great advanf-
age in giving me confidence in the
strike that is to follow. When it comes
TO striving for a long ball / am much
inclined to favor it. 1t is yet TO be
settled, and perhaps never will be, as to
which of these stances is really the bet
ter and the most effectuaI
The only possible objection that can
be made to the playing off the right
foot IS the natural tendency to slice
the ball. The body seems to want to
get in almost as soon as the club be-
gins the down swing, and when the
player is a little off his game, il is con-
stantly getting there before the club
unless the player has. very
safe and sure style of play, and his
wrist working right, / think he will
find that timing his stroke is a more
difficult matter with the open stance
than with the square, and also that the
tendency to slice is increased.
