ij FOUND IN CAUCASUS
l \ American Woman Visits
-j Lost Nation in Russia.
Welchville, Maine. —That the gorges
2 of the Russian Caucasus hide a “lost
1 nation” which claims descent from
Jason, wears chain armor like the
ancients and still performs sacrifices
and worships trees, is the strange tale
brought back to America by Mrs. Karl
Rankin, who has just returned from
five years as a Near East relief work
-1 er * n Armenia. Mrs. Rankin is the
> first foreign woman and the first
American to venture into this liazard
; ous and hidden land.
Mrs. Rankin, a native of Welchville,
l ls back in her old home on her honey
i moon. It was as Miss Pauline Jordan
> that she spent five years in Armenia,
■ after two years of study with Madame
: Curie in Paris. On her arrival in New
York she married Karl Rankin, an
other returned Near East relief work
. er. Her family were pioneers in
| Maine, coming here in 1640.
Story of Her Trip.
Mrs. Rankin’s story of her visit to
the “iost nation” of the Saventians, as
hJA to an interviewer here, is as fol
lows :
“I was stationed at Alexandropol, in
' Russian Armenia, where 15,090 ref
ugee orphans are being educated by
the Near East relief. I found..that a
group of these children were of Saven
tian race, and it became necessary
for somebody to visit their mysterious
mountain homeland in an effort to
trace their relatives and if possible
to repatriate the children in homes
among their own people.
“Perhaps it was a foolhardy and
venturesome trip for a woman, but 1
still feel the thrill of having accom
plished it. I was told in Tillis that I
would not come back alive, but my
mission was important.
“From the railroad I traveled three
days on horseback to a village where
1 obtained local guides to accompany
me through the mountains. For five
days our horses climbed steadily, 12
hours a day. The trails often lay
'.along the edge of terrific chasms,
where a misstep meant death. Then
we began to encounter scattered cot
tages and tiny hamlets. It was no
ticeable that n:y Georgian guides had
a terror of the natives, for they would
often mumble to themselves in Rus
sian. ‘A dark people! A dark people!’
“The country is accessible through
a labyrinth of mountain passes for
only a few weeks each year. I was
llie first American woman who had
ever visited it. This people may truly
be called a lost nation, because it is
akin to no other people on earth to
day. Even the flora of their land
seems strange. The natives are white,
with fair skins and blue eyes, and
they talk a language unknown out
side their boundaries.
Their Religion Different.
Though they call themselves Chris
tians, Unit religion is different from
any other sect. They still perform
sacrifices and there are remnants of •
ancient tree worship in their rites.
Russian scholars say that these peo
ple are the descendants of Jason and
the Argonauts. One of their prized
relics is an anchor which they claim
came from Jason’s ship. It Is pre
served in a temple on the slopes of
that great mountain upon which
Prometheus is said to have been
bound.
“During our trip we were compelled
to seek nightly refuge in the homes of
the people. They live in wooden huts
of two stories, the lower floor shel
tering their animals, while the upper
floor is a single huge room where the
whole family lives and sleeps. Their
food consists mainly of hatcha-puri,
an odd mixture of corn meal and
goat's milk cheese.
“My mission among the Saventians
was entirely successful. After a few
days, they were no longer suspicious
of me, and within a week they were
quite friendly. They 'were tre
mendously ifnpressed to find that
Americans were caring for a group of
refugee children belonging to their
tribe, and they promised to send their
head men to our orphanage headquar
ters to select the first unit of children
for repatriation. It is quite likely
that the American work for these chil
dren will result in breaking down the
isolation of this people and bringing
them back again into a world useful
ness.”
PRECIOUS VOLUMES
FOUND IN LIBRARY
Oldest Was Written in Reign
of Henry V.
Winnipeg, Man.—Precious volumes
several hundred of years old have
been unearthed In a niche of St.
John’s college library by an ardent
book lover.
One of the ancient books is 509
years old; several are more than 400
years of age. Written before the days
Os printing, they were penned In a
fine hand and are now la a fine state
of preservation.
The oldest and most interesting of
the volumes is “Nicolai Decretalium
Libri' V.,” a book handwritten on
manuscript—l,2s6 pages —-which would
make many present-day sign writers
green with envy. It was written in
i 1417, during the reign of Henry V.
of England, and although it is 500
years old, its oaken boards are none j
the worse for wear.
, 1 Another specimen of early typog-
loly Bible in Latin—printed during
he reign of Edward IV., in 1478, just
exactly two years after William Cax
on introduced printing into England.
\ext in order of merit comes “Cic
ronis Epistolarium. Familiarium,”
he letters of Cicero, printed 407
ears ago, in 1519, four years after
•Volsey was made lord chancellor. I
Desiderius Erasmus, the famous
>utch scholar of the reign of Henry
TUI, is represented by several voi
ces which were printed during his
ifetime; the majority of them are
around 1535.
“The Holy Bible,” translated by
Thomas Matthew in 1537, is another
>ld-timer which has successfully with
stood the ravages of time. Archbish
op Cranmer, who was burned at the
stake in Mary’s reign, was a zealous
.eformer, and had the Bible trans
lated into English. Henry VIII or
dered a copy to be placed in all
churches and one of chcse copies now
reposes in St. Joliu’s College library
here.
Another famous man of the same
period was John Marbecke, who pub
lished his concordance in 1550. This
is the first published concordance to
the English Bible and was dedicated
to Edward VI, in whose reign it was
printed. According to Foxe, the au
thor was burned for making his con
cordance.
Several books printed in Elizabeth’s
reign are in pretty good shape, but
the most perfect is a copy of the
Bible, dedicated to “the most vertu
ous and noble Queene Elizabeth,” and
pi in ted at the Sign of the Tiger’s
Head in 1577, teu years before Mary,
queen of Scots, was beheaded. An
other precious volume is “The Book
of Common Prayer,” bound in slieep
. skin, the corners being re-enforced by
little brass plates, which are delicate
ly engraved. This book was printed
in the year 1607, two years after the
gunpowder plot, and is believed to
have been the property of King
James I.
