A SETTLEMENT OF WHITES WHO HAVE LIVED 300 YEARS UNKNOWN. Cut Off From the World In Their Moun- tain Lliome — Beautiful, Fair White Skinned Girls Clad In

Linen Garmenta.

E2ired,

Suowy

That white races of mysterious origin and of an advanced grade of civilization exist in certain of the as yet unexplored plateaus of Africa has long been a mat- ter of tradition among all those who have devoted their attention to the eth- nographical and geographical science of the dark continent, and Rider Haggard aud other English uovelists have found in reports bearing upon the subject the theme of many cf their most popular stories.

But no attention has been drawn as yet to the fact that in the interior of San Jago, the largest of the Cape Verde islands, which nestle in the Atlantic off the most westerly point of northern Africa, there exists a strange people known by the name of the Cantadas, who for 300 years past have been abso- lutely cut off from all intercourse with the outer world, and who are fair haired, light complexioned and blue eyed, whereas the remaining population of the Cape Verde islands consists of negroes and of Portuguése, who are almost as swarthy and somber in color as full blooded Africans.

Clear and sharp against the eky line of San Jago the mountain of San An- tonio towers aloft in « pinnacle to the height of some 8,000 feet. In form it conveys the impression of an ancient volcano, with its sharp slope on the side toward the sea, but on the inland side the declivity is broken by a sort of cup shaped interval, at the farther end of which there is the stump of what seems in times gone by to have consti- tuted a second peak, of equal height to San Antonio, but which, through some great cataclysm of nature, has been broken off some 4,000 or 5,000 feet. above the common base.

Strangely enough, the peak of Sam Antonio is accessible to clever moun- ier, whereas the sister mountain— thaf is to say, the broken off peak—is quite the reverse. From the point where it rises from the surrounding desert table land there is nothing but a steep wall of volcanic rock, not merely hun- dreds but probably a couple of thou- sand feet high. Indeed the only point whence access could ever be obtained to the summit of the sister mountain of San Antonio would be from the euplike interval which divides the two, and mention of which has been made above.

This cup, however, is filled with water and is known by the name of the Cantadas lake. It is a great sheet of water of marvelous depth and clearness.

On this farther end of the lake, and in the interior of this sister mountain of San Antonio, dwells the mysterious white race known as the Cantadas. Dis- trustful, apparently, of the gaze of stran- gers, these people of the mountain sel- dom leave their habitations during day- time, and on the slightest alarm of visitors they seek the shelter of the rock. But by hiding on the opposite cliffs un- til evening and with the aid of glasses it is possible to get a good view of them when they begin at sunset to gather on

A TTYSTERIOUS RACE. |

Beautiful, fair haired, white skinred gitls, clad in flowing white linen sar- iments, which scarcely conceal the siuu- ous beavty of perfect grace and form, come out to wash linen in the Jake and to sport on the cool green grass. The men, too, are simply dressed in much the same Way, their white linen gazar- ments being admirably suited to the tropic.climate. Many other signs of a high degree of.civilization appear, and from certain points near the summit of San Antonio it. is possible, with the aid of strong: glasses, to catch glimpses through fissures here and there in the wall of rock ef the twin mountain, of sheep and cattle grazing, of green fields and trees and of white, flat roofed houses running parallel with one auother, all brilliantly lighted by the sum, and there- fore leading to the belief that the inte- rior of this-sister mountain of San An- tonio must be hollowed out into some valley, possibly the crater of an extinct yolcano,, which, through some freak of nature, has been converted fram barren basalt and. lava inte: grassy en< fertile slopes.

An intrepid explorer would net have great dificulty in reaching the Cantadas people.. All that woald be necessary would: ba to ascend the San Antonio peak, to»descend on the other side until one reached the cliffs that overhang the Cantadas lake, to have oneself lowered by means of a rope to the surface of the latter and then to swim across the lake, which. may be anywhere from four to Bix mides in Jength

Certain scientists who have investi- gated the tradition and ramors that ex- ist about the Cantadas among the in- habitants, Africum and Portuguese, of the Cape Verde islands, are inclined to the belief thaf they are of Cornish gerigin. This theory is due to the fact that what is stated to be their tongue resembles the dialect of the natives of Coruwall more than any other kuow-:. language.—New York Journal.
