against Chief OF Police Leyland as

The contention that council could not

aGARDEN OF EDEN" IN CEMENT

One of the oldest homes in this
country, if not in the world, is to be
found in Lucas, Kan. The old gentle
man who owns this home has aimed
to reproduce the original Garden of
Eden in cement. The house is of the
log cabin style, and is built of stone
lops, some of which are twenty feet
long. The porches, walks, fence, and
trees are all made Of cement, no wood
whatever being used. Near the cabin
the owner has built a cement mound
for strawberry bed. The plants
grow from holes in the sides. Forty
two tons of cement were used in the
construction Of this Garden of
Eden"
AS the visitor enters the front gate
he sees Adam and Eve with arched
arms over the walk, and Eve handing
an apple to Adam. An immense SER
pent is twined on one of the trees
watching the apple transaction. There
are seven cement trees from 80 to
3S feet high and twelve others from
8 to Is feet high.
On one of the corner trees is to be
seen Cain and his wife, and on the
next tree Abel (dead) and his wife
while a dog is in an angle of the
tree. In one tree is the "All-seeine
Eye and Hand" whilt in another Cair
and Abel may be seen making thei,
offering (pumpkin and sheep), Will,
nearby are two girls. To the right o.
the girls are two storks roosting
and back OF them is the figure of tn
devil. The devil measures 8 feet il
height. He is holding his tail will
one hand and fork with another.
The place presents weird appear
ance at night when lighted up, as tn
owner has installed electric lights il
the mouths of the various animals.
If the Garden OF Eden really look
ed as horrible as this we cannot un
derstand why II was necessary t
place an angel with flaming sword be
