WHERE is GARDEN OF EDEN?

Forty miles west of old Bagdad, in
the vast level valley OF the historic
Euphrates, near Hit OF the Hittites,
lies the traditional Garden OF Eden.
Such is the interesting conclusion OF
Sir William Willcocks, the famous
Egyptian engineer and Bible student.
and many other authorities agree
with him.
"Out OF Eden came n river which
watered a garden. and from thence It
was parted and became four rivers"
And these four rivers. known in Bible
days as the Pison. Gihon, Hiddekel
and Euphrates-th ancient River OF
Babylon"--have been identified by
Sir William.
II was while studying, surveying
and mapping Chaldea previous to
starting work on the giant Irrigation
scheme planned for Mesopotamia,
that Willcocks became convinced
that the real Garden OF Eden lay In
the region described.
The Garden of Eden lies away over
in Turkish Arabia. too far from the
beaten tourist trail to draw many
sightseers. Probably not a dozen
white travellers see 1t in whole year.
To reach Chaldea the safest and sur
est route lies through the Suez, over
Pharaohs bones in the Red Sea,
through the Straits of Bab-elMandeb,
up the hot Persian Gulf. and thence
500 miles along the winding Tigris
and Euphrates.

Would Chew Hls Own.

Glen Arnold Grove, the educator
and lecturer, tells the following story.
the result Of observations made dur
ing a recent trip to Paris.
He was standing before a we'll
known bath house as two men came
along.
Said one to the other as he pointed
to a sign on the front Of the building:
Sure, Mike, did you ivver see the
loikes? Beans! chawed and fried!
wouldn't mind having some meself.
but Oill do me own chawing."
The sign indicated read
BAINS CHAUD EFT FROID.
Which, being interpreted, means

CAT PLAYS THE PIANO

Jamesburg, Pa, has wonder in the
form of musical cat, owned by Mrs
Perrine of Upper Jamesburg.
Edward Snedeker, a boarder at the
Perrine house, was sitting alone in
the house at night when he heard the
piano playing Knowing that he was
the only human occupant of the dwell.
ing he tiptoed to the door and peered
into the dark room, fully expecting to
be confronted by a spook.
Then he got a lighted lamp and
braced up courage to enter the parlor,
only to find that the cat was the plan.
ist 1t was walking up and down the
keys, from one end to the other.
Mrs. Perrine recalled hearing the
piano playing several times. She said
she always thought it was her daugh-
ter practicing.

FIGHT WITH AN OCTOPUS

Attacked by an octopus a young
man of Waimate Island, N. D., had
an exciting experience, a few days
ago. He was gathering mussels
in the SEE close to the shore on
one Of the islands in the gulf
when the young man with cries for
help attracted the notice of his father.
On arriving to see what was the mat
ter, the father found that an octopus
had one of its tenacles, as big as a
mans wrist, wound round the boys
leg. The creature had so strong hold
of the lad that it drew blood before
they could be separated.

In the care Of baby's skin and hair,
Cuticura Soap is the mothers IA
Vorite. Not only is It unrivaled in

COT AS AN ALARM CLOCK

Mark Moeller, a steelworker of
Sharon, Pa, wouldn't trade his pet
Maltese cat for the best alarm clock
ever invented. He vouches for the
story that within the last year he
hasn't arrived late at work, while be-
fore that time he was frequently
docked for tardiness.
Moeller's cat awakens him every
morning at o'clock and if he turns
over in bed to get few more winks
the feline will claw at his head until
he gets up. Moeller always used an
alarm clock and set it for s o'clock,
but frequently forgot to wind it.
There is a whistle at a nearby fac
tory that blows at 6 o'clock 1t is
believed the cat knows when this
whistle blows it is time for Moeller
to so to work and therefore arouses
him. The cat hasn't missed awaken
ing him one morning in the past year

SET HIS WIFE ON FIRE

Peter Deskowitz, living on the
ground floor of a two-family house in
Nutley N. j., quarreled with his wife
Maria, and after hot words, threw
her on the aoor, knelt on her and
emptied about gallon Of gasoline
on her. Then he set fire to her soak
ed clothing.
While neighbors we're trying to
quench the fire which wrapped the
tortured woman in a terrible. burn
ing mantle, Deskowitz, clad only in
undershirt, trousers and shoes, walk
ed out of the house and disappeared
in the woods beyond Nutley. The
woman lies at the point of death in
the Passaic General hospital and her
recovery is impossible.

NOW THE "ELECTRIC SLEEP"

Electric sleep, to be turned or" or
turned off" at will. is the aliuring
promise held out to sufferers from
sleeplessness by Dr. Nagelschmidt, a
German physician.
So far electric sleep has been pro-
duced only in rabbits and dogs, but
the experiments on animals have been
SO free from ill-effects that DR.. Nagel-
schmidt thinks human beings can be
subjected to the same treatment with
out danger.
DR.. Nagelschmidt asserts that his
new method also has the power to
eliminate pain in any portion Of the
human body. A condition is produced
In which pinpricks. or even the In
cisions Of the surgeons knife, are not
felt SO long az the patient remains In
an electrified" state.

Best Method of Cleansing Hands

Every automobilist who has had to
repair his machine has longed for
some way to wash his hands, ordinary
soap and water being almost useless
as a means Of removing the many and
tenacious varieties of dirt that gather
upon them on such occasions. So
chauffeurs and men who drive their
own cars will welcome the directions
given by that authoritative French
scientific magazine, Les Annales. This
paper directs that the hands be rub
bed with gasoline, the operation being
twice repeated; then they are to be
washed in sweet oil or butter, after
which a thorough washing with soap
and water will remove the last vestiges
Of dirt. The nails, however, require
special attention and it will repay the
automobilist to keep mixture of ben
zine and alcohol expressly for his
hands.
