PEOPLE OF MYSTERY.

A hiltiheilto unknown wlilte race, suggested by some to be of Welsh origin, is reported by explorers just back from the Darien district of Central America, thus.adding to the number of mystery! races discovered in... recent years. The, Japanese census of a few months ago revealed the unsuspected existence in that country of a tribe whose members wear no clothing, , hunt with the bow and arrow, and speak no known dialect. Inhabiting a remote valley in North Japan, these strange people are almost savages- ;while what is more interesting to the ethnologist, or student of races, is that they are white-skin-ned, ’ Not long ago a nearly white tribe was located in the heart of Brazil, where tradition state's that white Indians have long lived. No direct evidence is. available, but more than one explorer, among them Colonel Fawcett, perhaps the greatest living authority on Brazil, believes that they are still to be found in considerable numbers. These Indians are said to have blue eyes. , Compared with their neighbours, the people of Ankole, in South Uganda, are quite pale in complexion. They are of fine physique, and apparently have no affinity with the. Negroes of the country.
