THERE has for many centuries
existed in the minds of many
civilized peoples curious fas-
cination with reference to the idea
that in remote parts Of the tropics
amid the dark skinned races there
flourish mysteriously isolated white
tribes bearing a strong resemblance to
the civilized branches of the Caucasian
race.
The early Adventures in Central
and South America brought home
many tales OF extraordinary cities he
yond the mountains, and vague stories
af1oat in South Africa some forty Ave
years ago furnished Rider Haggard
with a theme for one OF his novels.
Legends like these are met in al
most all the less explored regions Of
the world. and they have always GER
tain features In common. The isolated
white people almost invariably inhabit
a mountainous region In a vague in
terror, always "just beyond: they hold
aloof from the surrounding races; they
are seldom seen, and yet are definitely
stated to be more civilized and better
educated than the darker masses
whom they avoid
Who they are and whence they came
no one knows: native fables AFFORD no
explanation. Once IT was thought
that forgotten white explorers mig ut
have built up unknown Kingdoms in
the wild places OF the earth, but upon
examination these theories vanish as
rapidly as do the white tribes them
! selves, and the ultimate explanation Is
almost prosaic.
| Yet so strong hold has the idea
gained that even in the beginning OF
the twentieth century the possibility
of the existence OF genuine white races
IL not altogether scoffed at. Less than
fourteen years ago an American officer
engaged in the operations against this
Moros in the Philippines collected APP
parently substantial evidence relating

first designed a potential failure, but
was subsequently modified in 1859
when she was renamed Tennessee and
modelled into a first rate wooden frig-
ate of 4,S40 tons displacement. She
was converted into a full rugged ship
ar d under steam alone was capable of
making nearly fourteen knots an hour
She proved in service to be fine sea
boat and was a general favorite in the
navy because of her roomy and COM
Portable accommodations She was
sold in September of 8S7 for s34,525,
although up to 1869 she represented
an outlay Of Sl.673,os0.
The fifth Tennessee was the
armored cruiser which was launched
in 1904. This ship was renamed Mem
phis in May of 1916. after the au-
thoriZaion of the present superdread-
nought, and was wrecked in the har-
Dor of Santo Domingo on August 90,
1915. when tropical storm and a tidal
wave caused her to snap her chain
cables She was swept onto the coral
reefs and wrecked.

, tured by Farragut's fleet at the taking
OF the city OF New Orleans on April rs.
1862. Her name was subsequently
changed to Mobile and for some time
Admiral Farrasut used her al a light
draft tender to the Hartford and car
ried his flag upon her where he could
not navigate with the heavier craft.
The second Tennessee was forIni-
dable ironclad which was captured
when the Federal forces took Mem
pills in the spring OF 1852. She was
then on the stocks and was purposely

A third and more powerful Tennes
see was the Confederate armored ram

| Hateful battle OF Mobile Bay. 1t vir-
| tualiy took the concentrated FIRE of

menacing and mighty craft into sub
mission. After her capture on August
5. 1854. she was commissioned in the
United States Navy and was sold in
the latter part of November. 1857

nance experts have declared that our
14-inch rife is a much better instru-
ment of destruction than the rival
British 15-inch piece.
Admiral Sims has said: There Is
no armor afioat to-day that cannot be
pierced by a 1i-inch gun at battle
ranges" And II seems that a a.

structive violence.
It will be possible for the Tennessee

pounds OF projectiles charged with
high explosives. Just how good our

In addition to her main battery the
Tennessee will carry a secondary
force of fourteen five inch rapid fire
rifles, four six Founders and four anti

equipped with two submerged tubes

twenty-one inch torpedoes. 1t Is no,

Legends of Strange White Races

district in the centre of this island
has never been explored and even the
coast Is not well known.
But along the seabord many stories
are told OF the fierce white people who
have their home in the forest clad
mountains OF the interior. Eye wit
nesses dcpose to having seen strange
fair complexioned girl, who fled toward
the hills as soon as she was addressed
Other men and women OF a light COM
plexioned race are said to have been
seen by more venturesome natives
who were bold enough to approach the
wild mountain district The American
officer was SO impressed that he de-
termined to conduct an exploring eX-
petition across the centre of the island.
But apparently tho mysterious white
folk had vanished, for the world has
as yet heard nothing of his search be-
ing crowned with success.
Arabia, however can with more rea-
son boast of a white tribe. For years
stories OF such race have been told
In the Persian Gulf. and an American
missionary stationed at Muscat alluded
some years ago TO coffee house bah
BILE in eastern Oman concerning a
mysterious race of light compleXioned
people who live somewhere in the
mountains, shun strangers and speak
a language all their own
| Various theories have been pro-
pounded to explain the fable, but prob
ably the explanation is to be found In
the narrative OF a journey made tC
Oman in 1879 by Col S. b. Miles, a
British officer. Col. Miles in the course
OF his travels came across a town
named Sheraizi. In the heart Of the
Green Mountains. This strange place
was perched like an eagles nest or
the top OF a great cliff. and was In
habited by people Of lighter skin thar

They rarely descended to the plains
and refused to mix with or intermarrS
with the Arabs.
