First in America.

WHEN conversation turns to the
w subject of American Indians a
number of questions pop up or per-
haps lurk in our minds. One of these
questions is likely to be How many
centuries had Indians been in the
United States when the first explorer
Of record Gamer Another may be,
Nv ere Indians the first race of men
on this continent?" And another
question is apt to be. ibid the Indian
race or races come into being on
our continent or did they migrate
from some other continent. and. II
SO, from wherer' There is no answer
to these questions which is beyond
dispute.
The original American. or the
American aborigine. or the yellow:
brown or bronze-skinned man called
"the redskin," and to whom the
name Indian" came to be applied
through a geographical error Of the
large measure Of study by those
men of science classed as anthro-
biologists and ethnologists.
One Of the favorite explanations OF
the presence of the Indian in this
country is that he was a Monaghan
anu CduC <Aoiay SioSoA.S
Siberia by way of the Aleutian
Islands and Bering strait, and then
journeying south and east into his
land of promise.
There are many men Of science
who hold that the Indian never had
any connection with Asia and is not
descended from the Mongols, Tartars.
Chinese or Aleutians. They contend
that the Indian was an Egyptian or
a Carthagenian or one of the races
occupying the lands Of the Egyp-
tions, Assyrians. Babylonians Phoe-
nicians or Carthagenfans, and came
to America when q continent called
Atlantis. mentioned by the classic
authors of Greece. lay between Africa
and America That is. the Indian
came here before 5000 or more miles
of sea separated Africa and America.
There are other grave and learned
men who believe that the Indian
came neither from Asia nor Africa.
but from Europe, and these men con-
tend that he was Greek or Gaul.
and that he was related to the wild
and narbarian tribes of the lands
we now call England. Ireland and
Wales.
It may be that some Of the learned
men are stating the fact of the
American Indians origin. but they
are SO far apart in their theories
that the plain and unlettered man
finds them hard to follow. And
there are scientists who hold that
the first Indian did not come from

Asia, Africa or Europe. They have
a theory that the American Indian
was the original inan-that is, that
he was the first man to appear on
earth. Among biologists are those
who believe that the land we call
the new world is the oldest land
in the world. They believe that the
first part of the world to appear
above the seas which enveloped the
world were the Laurentian hills,
north of Lake Superior. 1t is be-
lieved that the first man of the earth
appeared in that region and that
the American Indian is descended
from that man. There are many
theories or speculations as to what
was the kind of climate this conti-
nent had when it appeared above the
seas. and there is much guesswork
as to when that was, the figure Of a
hundred million. years being nhen-
toned by one man and hundred
times hundred million years by an
other. They do not agree,
