Guarded by a handsome dog that had been her ponstant companion` in life, the dead body of an aged lady was `found on her doorstep in Philadelphia a few dalysago. The poor'ly<-.1ad woman! was noticed by scores of passer:-by as she sat on the step, with her head` leaning `against the door, but they isupposed she had become weary and had fallen asleep as she sat` in the sun. She was dressed in shabby black, with a worn fur cape thrown around her shoulders, and a white veil over her face made a queer contrast with her. otherwise black attire. \ Women and children on their may to the nearby grocery store noticed the queer pair old woman and dog--seated together, but no one s suspicions were aroused by the woman s long rest. 1 `rue raunuui Animal`-s name we... let Finally the wife of a baker, across the street, saw. the handsome black and white dog lick the :woman s hands and lace and then -give a dismal howl as `his caress was not returned. Fearing that` the old woma-n_-{was ill and could lnot rise from the step, she started to investigate. As she approached she was met by a threatening advance from the dog, and she reached the step only after many kind words to the animal. Shaking the old 'woman's shoulder failed to arouse her, and when her arm. was raised it was found to be` cold and stiff. She dropped it `with a scream, and notified the neigh- bors. A small crowd collected around the_ old` woman, but_ the dog kept them at bay. Eve-ry advance was met by a.- snarl and a policeman was called. `l"l .2- _.............nIn -.....-. 121-.....-... ...........J-...I 3' 5135} 311$ ID `IULLVCIJJIII-I VVQ3 UGLLIUEIO His -approach was likewise resented by the faithful animal, "but the patrol wagpn was called and the woman s body was pilacedi in it in spite of the dog's protests and growls.

There I have found it. It is situated on the banks of the Muir: River, about titteenmiles south of the Zambesi,and . halt-way between Sena and Tote. At the time of my discovery I had with me Mr.` Puzy and two mining engi- neers, Messrs. Gramann and Napolski. I should perhaps explain here that Fura is the native corruption of the word Afur, by which name the Arabs of the sixteenth century knew the dhtriot of which I am speaking. Afur is the Sabaean or South Arabian form of the Hebrew name Ohpir. I have ample proof that the Fura we discov- ered and explored this summer is the Ophir of the Old Testament. Afur or ,0phir in the Semitic language, means mine. Fura in the language of the *Pnnswe,.inerot:ugusoe East L;lee~ people who `now inhabit the district also means mine. The natives, who are under the POW` erful chief, Macombe, call themselves"-~ Makalanga, which means PEOPLE OF THE SUN. _ Unlike any other Africans I know, they are to this day, sun and` IE9` worshippers. They are quite unlike the ordinary African, and have a distinct Jewish type of face, and in my opinion they are a mixture of the Asiatic con- querors with the original inhabitants { of the country. 4 .u qo.on 1' On arriving in the district, Isoon found that the natives had some idea. of the existence of the ancient Ophir. In fact, they wash gold themselves af- ter the rainy season, and after storing it in quills, do atairly_ large trade in it with Beira and Tete. {him to England. Up to the present At first Ihad great difficulties with these people. For five weeks they re- fused to sell me food and performed war dances to frighten me. Macombe, the chief,' then sent his brother `Sun- tete to me, demanding what I meant by entering his country. By this time, however, as Ihad succeeded in getting food from other sources, Cuntete seem- ed inclined to be friendly. I made friends with him, and Ihave brought his greatest surprise is. that he has not seen the sun. This chief` subse- quently gave me valuable information regarding the position of the ancient ruins and` workings, which Int oncc investigated. Going to the spot-indicat ed, I found ancient ruins of undoubt- edly Semitic type. I discovered phallic emblems, which have always been con- nected with the ancient Semitic sun worship. Fura itself I found to pos- sess a formation of quartz.te slate and diorite, between which gold reefs were running. Under the ruins I found d large alluvial t-ract, in which we dis. covered gold and near it magnificent quartz reefs. The ancient workings which I found were not only surface workings, but them were also shafts ! and roads. ' I have built a. station in this district, and also one in Iynanga, both of which are in charge of trustworthy Euro- peans. I intend next summer to fur- ther investigate the traces of dia- monds, coal, white mica and saitpetre which we found. 4. 'nr_. ;,1.___._. ___:J.L _..........I L- I\.-l..2.. H WHICH WU LUULIU. My theory with regard to Ophir, said the doctor in conclusion, is this: The ancient conquerors heard at the mouth of the Zambesi of rich alluvial gold up river and sailed up to the east- ern entrance` of the Lu-pata, beyond which rapids made navigation difficult They then proceeded overland and found, under the very walls, of the for- tifications, ruins of which he have dis- covered, alluvial and also reef gold. They then settled for a considerable period,-and afterward migrated to the west toward the Ruenye. They eventu- ally settled in the (`cool climate on In- yanga, conquered a-ll.the`districts w-mt and southwest as far as the San)-ate River and Tete, and :built a. great em- pire along the Zarnbesi and Sabi riv- ers. The ancient Sabaean empire prob- ably Iasted for thousands of years. Its existence was well known among the Semitic nations, and it is interesting to note that Ophir is always mentioned in the Old Testament without any ex- planation as to its locality. I have seen enough to be assured that all the products of the ancient Ophir are tc be found on the Zambesi. ll A ._ _ ,______IL -3 ._.__ ,___.-_L.._L2__ LL- e of thd at, and HOW BOER TRAPS ARE PRE- PARED.

The one great reason for its ;popularity is the ease with which it ; may be grown, and theiplenteous re- . turns it gives for the care spent upon ,it. Pansy plants are raised by get- ting good seeds and sewing in shallow _boxes in the house, or hot beds out 5 of doors. In` the house, seeds may `be \ started im,February, March or April- iFill the box with fine prepared dirt, {bringing it nearly to the top. = This ;soi~l need not be so very rich, good` 'garden loam will answer very well. Make the top level and smooth and scatter the seed as evenly as posnme. l When this is done, sift some soil .over ;them until they are covered about al ` quarter of an inch in depth. Next give a" light sprinkling and then wet a piece of spongy paper, or brown wrap- ping paper, and put over the top of the box, set in- a sunny window free from` drafts, and in about eight days expect to see the first tiny shoots ap- pear. Do not pour water over the soil, but let all -moistutre be given- through the paper, which should be `frequently moistened. .

Have the ground where they are to be placed shaded deep and mellow, and plenty of well decayed manure worked in, as pansies delightin a rich soil. Select a cloudy day for set- ting out the plants, and put them about eight inches apart each" way, "firming them -down well. By July they will be in blossom, and will con- tinue to flower till late in the fall. In the :meantime, work the soil every week, give the plants all the water they can drink. Keep the blossoms- well picked off, so that no seed pods- which take the strength from the plants-ecan form,` and give fertilizer if it ahouldbe needed. The best terti- lizer is liquid manure, it it is not too strong. I To my mind a situation which receives the benefit at the syn till noon and is shaded tor the re- mainder at the day is an ideal place for a pansy bed. There is really no- thing complex about growing these winsome little owers, and the slight effort on the g1.'ower s part will .be more than compensated.
