 Oliver Wendell Holmes was born on Aug. 20, 1909 William F. Gladstone was born on Dec. 29, 1909. That is famous year in biography. Charles Darwin was born on Feb. I2, 1909. Edgar Allan Poe was born on Feb. l9. Alfrcd TennysOn was born in the same year; so was Picrrc Joseph Proudhon, the French social phi lCsophcr.

THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
Its Exact Location a Mystery That win
 Probably Never Be Solved

EToDaDiy Setcr Ac coiNcu.
 The location of the earthly paradise or garden of Eden Is still matter of dispute among oricntaiists and Scriptural scholars of highest reputation. Some have cn- deayored to locate it hy the fruits and mineral productions named in the Biblical descriptions as they appear in the second chapter of Genesis; others by the rivers mentioned in verses II to II of the above mentioned chapter. The weight of invcs- tigatioa and tradition incline to an agrCc- ment that the TiEris and the Euphrates of modern geography are the third and fourth rivers mentioned in the Biblical descrip- ton of the garden. Those who agree so far differ widely as to what rivers should now be regarded as the ancient Pison and Gihon. The Buddhistic scholars, al- though they reject our Bible in the greater part, incline to the opinion that the Pison is the sacred Gangcs, and that the Gihon is none other that the Nile. As to the last, it is altogether probable that they are correct on that point, becausc the Biblical account plainly says that Gihon com passeth the whole land of Ethiopia
 Some investigations affirm that Eden was n spot of comparatively small area To- cated on the tablclands of what is now Ar menia, frum which rise the Tigris and the EuphratCs. \ few scholars of distinction argue that the Adamic paradise was To- cntcd in Africa in the vicinity of the mountains of the Moon. Still another school of oricntalists locate the celebrated garden in the vicinity of the ancient city of Babylon.
 You will notice, however. that none of these theorists has been able to got the four rivers mentioned in the Biblical ac- count properly located. Neither have they found n place where one ErCat river ''scpa- rates into four lEndS - This bPinn inc case, it is hardly necessary to add that the exact location of Eden Is mystery that will probably never bc sOlycd--St. Louis Rpuublic

 Starting at Deer lake, Itasca county, Minn., Dr. Coues proceeded up the riv. CT to Lake Itasca in birch bark canoe. He reached the lake after ten days pad
