JAPAN AND THE LOST TEN TRIBES.
The "Jewish World" thinks it was perhaps inevitable that the lofit Ten Tribes of Israel should be sought in the .Japanese, for the museums of Japan contain a number of engravings of old pictures purporting to represent a landing of the Jews in the days of long ago. There is said to be a picture showing a procession in which soldiers and priests take part, the latter wearing hats of Biblical pattern, and in which the Holy Ark is easily to be discerned. There is also a drawing that depicts Solomon in the act of receiving gifts from the Queen of Sheba, as well as models of his palace and the Temple. Strangest of all, the founder of Japan's dynasty of 126 Emperors in 130 B.C. bore the same name, "Osea," as the last King of Israel (Hoshea,) who was his contemporary.
