About King Solomon's Mines. The first thing that is obviont about the ruins at Zimbabwe and elsewhere iu Mash- onaland is that they were built to form a protection for a foreign pop-ilation who visited this country in search of gold ; every means of fortification is employed, every line of attack is protected with a tv dun, fancy of t'rategical skill perfectly mar- vellous to behold ; and in the centre of th t tyitem, close to the temple on Zimbabwe hill, wa* th* ancient gold-smelting fur- Here w* found crucible* with gold ad- hering to them in qutnliti**, a gilt spear- nsad, tools for working gold, and a soap- stone ingot mould of exactly the same snap* as thoee usedby tns Egyptians and PIMMH- cians, a specimen of which in tin wa* found in Falmouth Harbour, and i* now in Truro Museum.

Excellent pottery with geometrical pat- terns and numerous objects representing nature worship, which, taken in conjunction with the large, solid, conical tower in the lowtr temple, point to the cult which wat practised by thsse primitivs explorers. The birds on tall soapstone pedestalt formed perhaps the ino-t interesting ohje. 'is among our finds curious conventional birds decorated with arrhaio patterns, which from tht position in which we found them clearly at on* time decorated the outer wall of the temple on the hill, and from certain tignt thereon we decided that thsy had to do with tun and nature orship.

The .liameter ef the great tower at it* base is seventeen and seventeen hun- dredth* feet, and i* exactly equa 1 1* th* cir cumference of the little tower ; and all the curve* of which the variout building! are constructed had radii of various multiple* of thit diameter.
