REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Columbus, o.. Aug. 3l.-The Reverend Lam
don West of Pleasant Hill, this State. claims
to have discovered unquestionab'e proof that
the Garden CT Eden, from which Adam ana
Eve were sent forth at the beginning of fu-
man history, was in Adams County. Ohio.
The famous Serpent Mound OF Ohio is the
key to the whole discovery.
No object that has ever been discovered
possesses for archaeologists such intense and
varied interest as this curious earthwork.
Since lS49, when 1t was first accurately sur
veyed by Messrs. Squire and Dana, it has
been a Mecca for archaeologists from all
parts of the world. Volumes have been
written about II. and every theory conceiy-
able by the mind of man has been advanced
as to the purpose of the vast work. Now.
1t has a new and vivid interest
1t has been called shrine and an altar.
a cemetery and place for worship; 1t has
been shown to he an idol and place where
human beings were sacrificed-all to the
perfect satisfaction Of the learned persons
making the various guesses.
The character of the mound Is SO unique
and totally different from any of the other
remains Of earthworks left by the so-called
Mound Builders that every utterance male
in relation to 1t Instantly attracts the notice
Of the scholars.
Professor Putnam of Harvard University
prepared an exhaustive account of the
mound ana gave his tneoEy as W HS SiS-
nif;cance 1t was through his Efforts that
the mound was saved from total des.ruc-
| tion. In 1851 he visited it for the first time
| and was powerfully impressed with It's tre-
mendous significance. He impressed the
| college authorities with the value of the
| ground, and late- it passed into the posses
| sion of the college. Later. in 1S99 It was
| formally presented by Harvard College 10
| the State Archaeological Society of Ohio.
| Professor Putnam conducted extensive eS-
| plorations in the hope of learning the true
| character and significance of the work and
| made examinations which revealed some-
| thing Of the great age Of the mound. 1t is
| held by some that undoubtedly 1t was old
/ before the Chinese wall was built and that
It was finished and disintegratiBg when the
/ Children OF Israel slaved In Egypt. 1t Is
| also probable. judging from the condition
| of the soil that covers the figure. that 1t
| was part OF the things universal that
| were overwhelmed by the flood.
| Mr. Vests Theory.
The Reverend Mr. West, who is a promi-
nent and widely known minister OF the Bap-
tist Church. has just outlined theory
concerning the creation and significance of
the mound widely different from all those
Of the scientists.
He believes that the mound itself was
created by the hand Of the Creator of the
world. and chat it marks the site Of the
Garden Of Eden.
He believes that the mound Is purely
symbolical and has no significance relative
to the religion or worship Of any race CT
men. but Ia. Intended to teach BIZ object
