Relics Fascinate Kaiser.

Dr. Leo Frobenius, chief of the German Central African exploration expedition, who asserts that he has located the exact site of the lost Atlantia, has just expounded his views and the results of his travels before the kaiser. The kaiser much interested in the trophies that Frobenius obtained in support of his Atlantis views, particularly the collection of ten's cottas. "One sees that these never were made by negroes,” was his majesty’s comment. The emperor also thought the terra cottas were portraits, as every head is different. Dr. Frobenius exhibited the photograph of a Byzantine Imperial castle which be had discovered In the heart of Africa.' He ex-' plained, that most of his exploration had taken place on British soil, but be had run across the ruins of a Persian city on German territory. This statement evoked a spontaneous outburst from the kaiser, to the effect that everything must be done Jto enable a thorough excavation of the ruins. Dr. Frobenius, therefore, will probably soon return to Africa with Imperial backing.
