SEEK THE GARDEN OF EDEN
Many Have Joined In That Unsatis
fed Quest Since First the
World Was Young.

The location Of the Garden Of
Eden has been determined SO many
times with such absolute and au-
thoritative fnality, albeit each time
in different place, that not all the
critics will take seriously the an
noucement Of Sir William Willcocks,
the English engineer who has been
for several years in the employ Of
the Turkish government engaged in
irrigation and reclamation work in
Mesopotamie. Sir William is of the
old-fashioned school that firmly be-
lieves Eden was a definite region,
and his work in the valleys of the
Euphrates and the Tigris convinces
him that the historical and biblical
Eden was below the junction Of
these two rivers, and not far above
this point, as many scholars and
archaeologists have believed.
He has recently set forth his view
in great detail before the Royal
Geographical society, and is in no
wise disconnected by the comment
that he makes the site of Eden iden-
teal with the region of the Arabian
Nights. Sir William believes, more
over, that the ancient Eden was
the same engineering methods as
are now being employed there again
after the lapse Of ages, and he is so
enthusiastic that he urges England
to bargain Egypt for Babylonia.
In the meantime the land for
Eden will go on-a never-ending
search in which every human heart
seeks the earthly paradise by meth.
DDS and pathways all its own.
