South Germany has for some tilno

Torant0, 2 Fap01ite Res0yt In 1he Golden Age 0f Rome

Washington, Aug. 31.-Taranto, the great naval base of Southern Italy, where disaster overlook one of that nations battleships recently, causing the loss of 300 seamen, is the subject of the following war geogra phy bulle- tin issued today by tht National Geo. graphic society from it's Washington hea.dquarters:
 with history dating back to the eighth century before the Christian era-the same century which tradi- ton says marked the founding of Rome by ROmulus Taranto,. (the an- cient Tarentun), has a past of fas- cinating interest and a present of great commercial importance. This city of 50,000 inhabitants, many of whom still retain a Greek accent in- herited from the ancient Spartan col onists, clings to a rocky acropolis which sticks in the heel of the Ital- ian boot at the point where it joins the instep.' In ancient times the rock, which rises from the sea to a height of more than 50 feet, was a peninsula, but Ferdinand I of Aragon dug a canal across the isthmus mak- ing an islet of the town site. On one side is the Gulf of TarantO and on the other the Mare Piccolo (Little Sea). The entrance to the magnificent har- Dor, one of the finest in all Italy is commanded by two well fortified islands, San Pietro and San Paolo. The Little Sea anchorage has a depth of 36 feet and an aera of more than 5000 acres, affording unlimited &C., commodations for Italy's Mediterra- mean fleet, and here the government has installed splendidly equipped dry docks. The arsenal extends for a mile and a half along the shore of this inner sea.
 "Legend relates that Tarantum, or Taras, was settled by the Pathenans a class of Spartans who claimed the rights of citizenship in the Lacedac- mOnian capital but who had not re- ceived it, perhaps on account of a stain on their birth. The town re- ceived the name Taras from the son of Neptune. Almost from it's found- Aation the colony 1ourished, nor was this surprising for the surrounding land was immensely fertile, soon be- coming famous for it's olives, while the pastures sustained wonderful f1ocks of sheep whose wool, accord ing to Horace, was so fine that it be- hooved the Tarentines to make the animals wear coverings to protect their fleece.
 ''As a related industry the fishers of the town found in the waters of the inner sea peculiar musse1 from which the highly prized purple dye was made. Thus weaving and dyeing developed hand-in- hand, increasing the wealth and importance of the col ony to such an extent that by the be- ginning of the fourth century B. c. Tarentun was recognized as the most
