fetal reservoirs and turned brooks and rivers
into artificial channels, bringing them down
10 the roots of the corn; and to this habit Of
turning river wherever il was wanted Solo
mon refers 20 this when he says: The
Kings heart is in the hand of the Lord, and
he tuTneth IL as the rivers of water are
turned whithersoeveT he will.n
There seems, however TO be a clew 10 who
this mysterious race of people were that in
habited the Santa Cruz Mountains ages ago.
Ii is noticed by close observers that always
near where the giant Sequoias grow are
found more prehistoric relics than at other
places.
On the south shore of the reservoir there
remain, partly destroyed by fire, giant Sc
quotas that were larger than the giant, or
Gen. Fremont" of the Big Tree Grove near
Santa Cruz, and must have measured l25
feet in circumference and stood 500 feet
high. Ii is estimated by lumbemen that
the giant is about 5000 years old, and the
Gen Fremont about 5000.
j have a theory of my own as regards
these prehistoric remains and giant red
woods. ii is this: During a period OF the
EARTH's HISTORY
the Atlantic Coast and the Mississippi Valley
were covered with a mighty ocean, but dur
ing that same period the Pacific Coast as far
east as the Rocky mountains in Colorado
was a continent composed of beautiful val
leys and elevated plains, great rivers and in
land seas
That this continent was inhabited by a
race of people well advanced in the arts and
sciences, we have no reason 20 doubt. Pliny,
the Roman historian, tells Of wonderful
foreign land called Atlantis, where gold,
precious stones and valuable timber grew.
