Many Geoloxists Contend That the Garden
Of Eden Was In the Arctic Regions

sF.nv Geoloristx Contend That the Garden
Of Eden Was In the Arctic Regions
In an interesting and highly instruct
i've article Edward ;. Martin, IN the
Ladies Home Journal. reviews the M
meroEs theories advanced by scientists
in the endeavor TO solve the perplexing
problem as tothe exact location Of the site
of the garden Of Eden. After sitting the
theories the writer concludes that tie
question is no nearer answered than It
was 1000 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 NEST in
genious theories Mr.. Martin thus re-
fers:
The north pole viii seem at first
thought Of the average investigator the
most unlikely site On earth for paradise
10 have 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, bat 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 llv-
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 it got too cold, but
there must have been a 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
a 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 all
uses and plenty for primeval man.
Geology tells us that man might have
lived at the north pole.

A Ready Answer.

When Admiral Stephen B. Luce was
young lieutenant on the old ship Con-
stellation. he was known equally for
his capabilities as an officer and for his
FOSTERING tendencies. His readiness to
wit was also a marked quality, as is
shown by the following story, that is
favorite ia the wardrooms Of the navy
to this day. The ship was at Newport,
and the lieutenant entered fully into the
social pleasures of that gay city. As he
went aboard one evening, after an aft
ernoon ont, the officer of the deck no
ticed that his step was not as steady
as it might be, and III his sternest tones
said, Mr.. Luce, you're tight, sirI"

Youth an Important Element.

youngest nominee ever put forth
| by 9 national political convention
in this country, his comparative
youth, so far from being a ground
Of valid objection, is one Of the
strongest possible elements in his
favor.
Having furnished the highest
proof Of his talents on The floor Of
the national house of representa-
lives, there can be no issue raised
as to the maturity of bis powers or
the supurb quality Of his leader
ship. As the campaign progresses
his strength as the most available
man who could possibly have been
selected as the standard bearer of
the party will become apparent,
and the wisdom of the Chicago con-
vention, in selecting the brilliant
young Nebraskan, will be distinctly
emphasized.
In view Of the fact that Mr..
Bryan, at the. age Of thirty-six,
possesses the necessary mental
equipment for the high office of
president Of the United States, the
ardor OF youth which he combines
in such a marked degree with his
other qualifications gives him a
most decided advantage in the cam
paign. 1t will enable him to go be-
fore the people with his superb ora
tory and make brilliant personal
fight for the principles which he
represents. Ordinarily a man who
is well advanced in years is not able
to endure the physical strain of a
prolonged and active canvass and
is forced to depend largely upon
others for the enthusiasm which he
himself should inspire.
Mr.. Bryan is fortunate in being
able to conduct his own campaign.
If he is able to stir up the same en-
thusiasm among the masses Of the
people which he, aroused in the
democratic convention, the cam
paign this year will be the most nc
table in American politics and vic |
tory will inevitably perch upon the |
banners Of bimetaIhsm.
II Mr.. Bryan enters the white
house next March, he Will be the
youngest president by at least ten
years which this country has ever
had. Up to the present time this
distinction belongs to Gen. Grant.
He was only forty-seyen al the time
Of his Inauguration as president,
Grover Cleveland, who entered the
white house at the age Of forty
eight, comes next. Franklin Pierce
and James A. Garfield were each
forty-nine.
Beginning with. the administra-
ton Of Washington, in 1889, the.
ages Of the presidents, on assuming
the oathtof Office, have been as fol-
lows: Washington, 81; John Adams,
81; Thomas Jefferson, 58c James
5S; James Monroe, So;
John Quincy Adams, IS; Andrew
Jackson, 81; Martin Van Buren,, So;
William Henry Harrison, 55; John
Tyler, 81; James K. Polk, 80; Zack
airy Taylor, 65; Millard Fillmore,
so; Franklin Pierce, 49; 5ames
Buchanan, 66; Abraham Lincoln,
So; Andrew Johnson, 81; Ulyssus
S. Grant, 47, Rutherford B. Hayes,
81; James A. Garfield, 40; Chester
A. Arthur, 81; Grover Cleveland,
49, and Benjamin Harrison, IS.
From this list it appears that the
average presidential age is some }
where between fifty and tifty-fvo
years. Mr.. Bryan, therefore, should
he be elected in November, as
seems at present time most highly
probable, will be about fifteen years
younger than the average presi-
