FINDS UNKNOWN VILLAGE
 IN REMOTE ARCTIC ZONE

Riga.-A hitherto unknown village in a remote interior of the Arctic zone is reported by the Russian officer E. Popow, in the ARusskoje Wrenja." /"
 On his wanderings through North ern Siberia, Popow stumbled on vil- lage of 38 male and female inhabit- ants who had never seen a stranger before. Their village is thousands of kilometers from any human habita- tion and enclosed on three sides by a vast bog.
 Popow, who lived among the will lagers for two years, describes them as being almost primitive in their habits and instincts and as having but vague notion that they are Russian. They speak Russian, but so profusely interspersed with old Slavic words as to be almost unrecognizable.
