Schsiars OF Distinction 10 Not Agree and
tho Mystery Remains Unsolved.
The location Of the earthly paradise.
or Garden of Eden, Is still a matter OF
dispute among o~rientalists and Scrip
tural scholars of highest reputation.
says the st. Louis Republic. Some
have endeavored to locate 1t by the
fruits and mineral productions named
In the Biblical descriptions as they ap
pear In the second chapter of Genesis
others by the rivers mentioned in verses
eleven to fourteen Of the above men
toned chapter. The weight of inves.
tigation and tradition incline to an
agreement hat the Tigris and the
Euphrates Of modern geography are
the third and fourth rivers mentioned
in the Biblical description Of the gar
den. 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 Gauges and
that the Gihon is none other than the
Nile. AS to the last 1t is Altogether
probable that they are correct on that
point because the Biblical account
plainly says that Gihon ''compasseth
the whole. land.of Ethiopia" Some in-
vestigntionsafirm that Eden was aspot
OF comparatively small area located on
the table lands of what is now Armenia,
from which rise the Tigris and the
E~uphrates. A few scholars of distinc'
ton argue that the Adamic paradise
was located in Africa, In the vicinity
of the Mountains of the Moon. Still
another school of o~rientalists locate
the celebrated garden in the vicinity OF
the ancient city of Babylon. None
of these theorists have been able
to get the four rivers mentioned

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t IS
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but al infiamed condition
