GRAVE OF FORGOTTEN KING.
A cavern found in Southern Rhodesia bv the expedition headed by Dr. Leo Krobenius, of the University of Frank fort, is said to be the burial ground of a forgotten king. The wall drawings show a mummified bull and underneath the sacrificed zebra, and beside the latter is the hide of the bull in which the dead king was wrapped, and from which his head protrudes. Hard-by is the rock grave, a mahogany tree and a termite hill. The symbols of sovereignty —the bow and arrow—are 6hown being handed to the new king.
