WAS PARADISE AT THE NORTH POLE
Many Biologists Contend That the Garden
of Eden WAS In the Arctic Regions.

Many Geologists Contend That the Garden
of Eden WAS In the Arctic Regions.
In an interesting and highly instruct
i've article Edward 5. Martin, in the
Ladies' Home Journal, reviews the nu-
merors theories advanced by scientists
in the endeavor to solve the perplexing
problem as to the exact location of the site
of the garden of Eden. After sitting the
theories the writer concludes that the
question is no nearer answered than it
was 1900 years ago, and that there are
no present indications that the matter
will ever be definitely settled by any
man. To one of the latest and most in
genious theories Mr.. Martin thus re-
fers:
The north pole will seem at first
thought of the average investigator the
most unlikely site on earth for paradise
tsIave occupied. Nevertheless several
SOBER and thoughtful books and pam
phlets have been written in support Of
the north poles pretensions. The north
pole nowadays is bitter cold, but it has
not always been so. Biologists tell US
that the earth was excessively hot
when IL first began Its course-much too
hot to admit Of the presence of any liv-
ing creatures, except, perhaps, sala-
mander. AS it grew cooler vegetation
began on it, and then it began to be
peopled, first with fishes, and then with
birds and beasts, finally with man.
The first spot on earth TO get cool
enough to use was the north pole. In
the process of time il got too cold, but
there must have been long period
when the polar region was the most
comfortable part of the world. During
this period, many eminent biologists be-
lieve, there existed around the north pole
continent now submerged. and that on
that continent our progenitors were
comfortable in their first home. 1t is
known with entire certainty that the
polar region was once warm enough for
tropical vegetation to grow there. There
was light enough also for such vegeta-
tion-abundant light, indeed, for ali
uses and plenty for primeval man.
Geology tells us that man might have
lived at the north pole.
