THIS THE GARDEN OF EDEN7
Many Believe That Territory In Which
Famous Spot Was Situated Has
Been Located.

"And the Lord God planted garden
to the eastward In Eden. And river
went out of Eden to water tho garden
and 1t was parted into four heads."-
Genesis.
Sir William Willcocks, who, in be-
half Of the British government, has
had charge Of the wonderful irrigation
works in Egypt, was assigned not long
ago to the duty of planning n similar
large-scale enterprise for the restora-
ton Of ancient Babylonia to its former
agricultural productlveness.
Thus It happened that he located, to
the reasonable satisfaction Of archie
ologlsts, the verltable site Of the Gar
den Of Eden. For reasons wholly prac-
tlcal he thought that the best way to
begin.
Starting from the spot where jewish
tradition placed the gates Of paradise
the word paradise" meaning gar
den-he followed the traces Of the
four streams mentioned In Genesis,
which, as therein named, were the Pr
Sun, lnt biuOui lue Illuuehcl uuu iHo
Euphrates.
The Euphrates (known by that name
today flowed through the great city
Of Babylon. The Glhon Is now called
the linda. The Hlddekel is the mod
ern Sakhlawia, which flows into the
Tlgrls at Bagdad. The PlsOn has gone
dry, but Is represented by many
armed channels "encompasslng the
whole land of HavIlath" (see Genesis),
which lay between Egypt and Assyria
The Euphrates enters It's delta
few miles below Hit, there leaving the
desert and debouching into vast al
luvial plain. In this departure 1t has
n considerable fall, with number of
cataracts, and along narrow valley
giant water wheels lift water to irri-
gate of the land on both sides Of the
stream.
The entrance to this valley accord
ing to Jewish tradltion) was the gate
of the Paradise In which Adam and
Eve dwelt. and from which they we're
expelled for dlsobeying a divine COM
mand. There the traveller first meets
the date palm, which is "tree Of life"
(see Genesls) to the whole Arab world.
Along the valley garden succeeds
garden. It Is today n verltabe para
disc, orchards and date groves check
cred with fields Of cotton. The climate
Is everlasting summer, so that three or
four crops year may be grown.
Anclently the cataEncts were much
higher, and water wheels were unnec-
essary, the water being led Off by
bitches.
The Garden Of Eden, indeed, gains
interest from the fact that 1t seems to
have been the first irrigated area in
the world.

WATERMELON A LA FILIPINO
WeIl-Meant Effort Of Native Chef
Spoiled Surprise American Army
officer Had Planned.

The Filipinos, II seems, have more
than one way of serving watermelon.
The melons grown In the fur eastern
archipelago are small In size and in
ferlor in flavor. Lieutenant Smith,
stationed In one of the towns of north
ern Luzon. hankered for the juicy
lusciousness of melon from his own
Tennessee carefully Grated choice
watermelon and shipped 1t to him by
express. 1t cost him n good many
pesos, but no matter. 1t was II beauty
and arrived In perfect condition.
He instructed the cook to prepare
good dinner that very day; the splen-
did melon was TO be served rs crown
ing glory. The provincial treasurer,
the. school teacher and the few Ameri-
cans In the town were Invited to par
take of treat that was to be sur
prise to them.
The dinner went forward success
fully; but there was much curiosity
concerning the surprise that the host
had promised his guests, and all eyes
were turned frequently toward the
door through which It was expected to
appear, AZ last It came. The cook en-
tered, bearing aloft an immense plat
ter, and there came from the company
chorus Of "Ahsl" The platter was
placed on the table under a halo, no, a
cloud of-steam. The melon was
boiled thoroughly boiled.
The quick rising of the host to his
feet with the carving knife In his hand
convinced the cook that he had better
make the quickest exist possible,
which was through the window, and
involved leap Of ten feet to the
ground. Reports from the second
barrlo on the road leading north were
that he was still running when he
passed through. Lieutenant Smith has
not been able to smile about that wa
termelon yet.-New York Herald.
