Brookline, the Massachusetts
Paradise "philologist and geo.
logist," evidently an archaeo-
logist and sociologist also, has
found the true site of Paradise.
1t is in Ohio, on the Ohio, the
Beautiful River" as the lroquis
called it. 1t seems that the Indians
are not only the oldest Ameri-
can family, but of the oldest
human family. DR.. Aliens CAL
citations and processes are alittle
hard for a layman to follow, but
we have learned to accept humbly
and gratefully the results of new
and painfully precise science. "
Once there was a people, Allen
gave it birth, as Mr.. Kipling
would say, in Asia Minor call
ed the Cynthians. " They were
the fount and origin of all people.
The only Cynthians we ever
hes I'd of were Apollo and Diana
Doubtless all.cradling Cynthia
was the Land East of the Sun
and West of the Moon.
I;may not be generally known
that the North Pole travels
arc ind the world once in $4,000
years" a dizzy speed. Some 49,
900 years ago the Garden OF
Eden was what is now the
Sta of Ohio. This is proved
by careful mathematical com.
put ATOMS" which we are un.
worthy to understand. Adam
was the original Ohio man, an
ces1or of several million origina
Harding men. Pison, Gihon,
Euphrates, Tigris were, presum
ably Mahoning, Great Malml
Muskingum, Ohio. The nam'
Western Reservation still carrie
a suggestion of the ancient parl
or garden. The primeval Buck
eyes were red men. In 1900
yesrs more Ohio and the rest 0
these States will have returne
to The Eastern Hemisphere, an
our defendants will probably b
copper-colored, like their fore
fathers. Many legends of tn
Isles of the Blessed and tn
Terrestrial Paradise show adver
tur IS sailing past the Pillars {
Hercules and the Baths of tn
Western stars. 1t was felt this
Eden lay in the West. Now "
know that it was in the Midi
West. We hope that this theor
will reconcile the Ohio brethere
to stay in Paradise instead
