What a Recent Discovery Eeveals.o

What Recent Discovery Eseveals.'
The Smithsonian institution has re-
caived a collection which is OF impor-
tance TO the archeoloSist.
1t is known as the Seton-kai'r con-
trlbutiou. having been discovered by
this Euglishman in SomGliiard, on the
eastern coast Of Africa. The imple-
ments We're purchased from the diseoy-
erer by the Smithsonian Institution.
There are about fifty pieces in the col
lection. made Of flint or Quartidc, ana
ranging in size from an inch or so in
length to half 4 foot, some weighing
several pounds. The objects are sup
posed to be spear heads. battle axes and
wedges. truncheo2s, bludgeons, OF
whatever they may be termed.
The discoverer had this 10 say on the
subject of his find and the locality
where the objects were unearthed:
Certain landmarks rs 20 the four
rivers mentioned in Genesis led me TO
think that the Garden Of Eden, IL 1t
ever existed. may have been here, and
that these very tools had been made
and used by Adam and his numerous
descendants. at any rate. my discov-
cries in Egypt and Somal!iand lead me
10 the idea that mans original home,
or the place where he was gradually
evolved. must have been in Africa, or,
at least, in tropical land. where
clothes were unnecessary and food
plentiful to hand"
