MYSTERY RACE.

Prehistoric Viking Wanderers.

Widespread interest has been arnased hare at the news from Calon Panama) that Professor Richard Marsh. of the Smith- Bonian Institution, is returning from the jungles of Darion with two members of the golden-hair ed. blub-eyed Indian mystery trile, says New York messugo

Ethnologists here will thus have the long-desired opportunity! of adding to their Reast know- ledge of this interesting people, the origin of whom still baffles scientists throughout the world.

It is declared that they are pro- bably the descendants of pre- historic Viking wanderers. 1his be proved it will show that the Norsemen discovered the Americas long before Columbus,

When Mr. Marsh set out from New York to investigato the | numerous reports of this tribo ho stored carefully away in the hold of the Carillo (the expedition ship) a varied assortment of pre- sonts with which he planned to win the good will of the Darion nativos, notoriously! 11 fierce and indepondant! people. Chiof autong the pre-onts were two beautifully made lomon wood bows, with a sufficient num- ber of steeltipped arrows.

These bows were intended for | tho principal chiefs, and the fact that they now undoubtedly re- prosont to these people the finest weapons they have ever seen, spoaks volumes for their primi- tive culture. In fact, the Indians of the interior of Darien still use the Bro-hardoned wood arrows and spears with which the first Spanish conquerors found them.

So far the experiences of the Darien Indian tribes with tho white man have been only with the Spanish conquerors and the English buccaneers, who for obvious ronsons induced them to fcloro their borders to whito

people. The attitude of the Sani Blas Indians along the Atlantio coast in this respect in woll known, and for 400 years, thoy havo maintaineded thoir com- pleto autonomy.

The San Blas peoplo, however, fhold only the coast line of Darion and bohind their country are many tribes of undlassified and unknown Indians, jwho have deither ventured forth from their jungle fastnesses nor permitted white men to intrude on them.
