FINDS OPH|R LAND
Region That Supplied Solomon
With Jewels.
Relies Of an Ancient Civilization on
the Edge Of the Sahara. In West
Africa, Are Brought Back by
DR.. Leo Frobenlus.

Berlin.-"Ophir," the land of gold
and precious stones Of Queen Sheba
Of King Solomon's time Is believed to
have been discovered by DR. Leo Fro
benius, the German explorer and
scholar, who has returned TO Berlin
from a two years exploration trip In
West Africa. "Ophir," according to
Doctor Frobenius, Is, or rather. was
not located in Rhodesla In South
Africa where explorers heretofore
have placed 1t, but in West Africa at
the lower edge of the Sahara desert
and In the vicinity of the Niger river.
AS proof of his belief that he has dis
covered the land from which King
Solomon obtained the vast amount Of
gold and jewels for his palaces for
himself and his 500 wives. the German
explorer brought 300 boxes filled with
ceramics. bronzes articles Of gold
and silver. all OF which he dug from
ruins OF cities whose history is lost
In the maze Of time.
Doctor Frobenius says his explora-
lions and his many finds" show that
the country and its people at one time
enjoyed the very highest degree of
civilization OF its time Bronzes,
ceramics and utensils show that a
high degree OF art and skill abounded
The country, said Doctor Frobenius
Is exceedingly rich in gold and other
valuable minerals. The natives
tribes of negroes have made no at
tempt to mine, said the explorer be
cause Of their religion, which forbids
it. but fond as they are of gold orna
ments, have been deferred by the su
perstitious fear of "evil spirits" Of an
Client times, which they believe guard
the treasures. Doctor Frobenius is
now engaged In giving the details OF
his discoveries In a book which he is
writing.

SEES BIG WAR CLOUD.
Correspondent Says End of Trou.
Bile in Europe Is Far Away.
Declares II Is impossible for Anyone
to Predict That 1912 Will End In
Peaee-RussIa Attempted 70
End Present Conflict.

Berlin, Germany.-That Europe has
passed through the two first months
OF spring without a catastrophe OF any
kind In the diplomatic field must not
be taken to mean that the sky Is now
cloGdless and the horizon clear. On
the contrary. ominous rumblings are
heard everywhere and no one dares
prophesy that 1919 will end in peace
During the last two weeks a CORE
spondent of Washington paper
writes. events have happened which
have puzzled the diplomats of all the
great countries-events which seem
to predict the imminency of material
changes In the delicate balance OF old
Europe. Our poor old world, In spite
OF all Its enlightenment, still possesses
tts political sphinx. situated within the
confines of Russia.
What ,Russia's plans really are no
one eHcR knows, least of all, probably
the ccrtse and peace-loving car him
self. Russia gave the first impulse to
the new grouping of the powers when.
under Alexander ILL.,, strong and
virile ruler of extraordinary gifts as
a statesman, she concluded the alli
ance with France, which became the
mistaken corner stone of the Euro
pean position. Now. at least. 1t seems
as II this corner stone is less firm than
before. France and Russia are no
longer In perfect harmony, and Russia
blamed the French ambassador to St.
Petersburg for the Earring note of the
discord which was dimly heard by
those whose ears are always pressed
against the ground.
Russia wanted to put an end to the
war between Italy and Turkey, but she
wanted something herself from the
government in Constantinople In ex-
change for her friendly services, and
she hoped. naturally. to be backed up
by France. In this hope she was dis
appointed. and the closing of the OAR
danel!es. which followed, caused the
greatest irritation In st. Petersburg,
because 1t brought home very forcibly
to the Russian statesmen the immense
disadvantage and danger of their EN-.
pire not controlling the outlets from
the Black sea. Now. of course, the
Dardanelles are once more open. but
many statesman's head will lie un-
easily until the Russian sphinx has
spoken and made known Its plans def.
niteiy. Meanwhile 1t is admitted that
the continuance of the Italo-Turkish
war is not free from danger.
Italy cannot think Of an advance in
Tripod until the autumn. and may not
be able to do so even then. Nor can
Italy withdraw with honor. There Is
an impasse which European diplomacy
will have to remove. But no states.
man has yet found way, and all that
M. Sazanoff's attempts have SO far
achieved is the diplomatic sensation In
Paris.

Pertinent Question.

Speaking of common sense. DR..
Faulkner head OF the Vineland IN. j.
hospital, told the following story
A mysterious building had been
erected on the outskirts of a small
town. 1t was shrouded In mystery.
All that was known about 1t was that
1t WAS a chemical laboratory. An old
farmer driving past the place after
work had been started. and, seeing
man In the doorway, called to him:
What be ye dom in this place p"
I'VE are searching for a universal
solvent, something that will dissolve
all things" said the chemist.
What good will that be-"
Imagine, sir! 1t will dissolve all
things. II we want a solution of iron,
glass, gold, anything. all that we haze
to do is to drop 1t In this solution"
Fine" said the farmer fine!
What be ye goin' 10 keep 1t in?"-Ey

Nanro Music.

But If proof positive of a soul in the
negro people should be demanded, it
can be given, for they have brought
over from Africa and developed in this
country. even under all the unfayor
able conditions of slavery. music so
wonderful, so beautiful, and yet SO
strange. that, like the gypsy music OF
Hungary. it Is at once the admiration
and despair of educated musicians of
our race. Unique and tnimitable. Il
Is the only music of this country, ex
cept that of the Indian, which can
claim to be folk music. In 1t the ne
groes pour out their Joys and their
SORROWS In naive but wonderfully NOV
ing fashion; and in the face of such
testimony of emotional and ethical
beauty who dare deny them wider fu.

The Government Forest Service in
sawmills of the country established
the interesting fact that mills with an
aggregate cut of 5,440,000,000 board
feet had a final waste of 100000
cords of slabs after the best had been
used for lath in many mills. A little
less than half was used for fuel at an
average price of 40 cord. A little
more than one-fourth was burned in
the waste burner or slab pile and
about one-fourth used for fuel under
the boilers. Assuming these mills to
be representative, the slab residue
from the entire lumber cut of the
country would amount to about a.,
5000 cords of which 100000 are
sold for fuel, 100000 used by the
mills for fuel and 100000 burned in
waste burners. When we recall that
