King SoIOmOn's Mines.

THE fascinating interest of the
ancient ruins in Rhodesia, South
Africa, drew the attention of the
archeologists of the British Associa-
tion during its recent meetings at
Cape Town. Among these ruins the
most conspicuous is the great Zim.
babwe temple. which lies about 20e
miles inland from the Indian ocean.
The oldest of the ruined buildings are
believed to date back at least to the
days of King Solomon. 1t is thought
that they were constructed by Semitic
colonists, whose chief object was gold
mining. and who have left indications
of their worship of Baal and Ashta-
roth. as described in the Bible. Elk.
perts believe that precious metal to
the value Of s3,oo0.o0o or $4,000. .ooa
must have been extracted from the

times.

Curious Timekeeper.

THERE is exhibited in tho British
Museum a large stone, composed
of carbonate Of lime. which has serv-
ed as natural timekeeper. This
stone is, indeed, an actual time record
of the work done for a long period in
an English coal mine.
The stone was removed from a COLI
liery drain. When the miners were at
work the water passing through the
drain left a deposit colored black by
the coal dust; but when no work was
done the water ran down clear and
left a white deposit. In course of
time these deposits built up the stone.
Each day of work left black streak
