Tongues Differentiated.
That the parent tongue should
evolve irlo miscellaneous dialects
where no written language had ex-
listed required no great lapse of
time. That the stem itself should
lose its identity in a brief period
under such conditions was natural;
that more rapid advance should be
made in crude knowledge OF the
arts as neg centers of population
developed a symbolic language of
varied design was logical and the
evolution of those into insignia
carved in stone. of radically differ
ent types, required less than 10000
years for advance in skill of the
early artisans. How great has been
this diversified development of re-
corded language has come to light
with exploration and excavation in
recent years. Descriptions on frag-
ments of structures in Ceylon and
Java have defied Interpretation
though plainly bearing record in a
tongue unknown now, as temples Of
the sun and fire.
Let 1t be understood that the belt
now called the Torrid zone lay
about the earth in these early pre-
historic times at an angle OF more
than 60 degrees variance from it's
present locus: that the axis Of the
earth in these 100000 years has
shifted to it's present location; and
regions then vast fields of ice. such
as entire Europe, were Arctic re-
gions: and that part Of North
America and ali of present South
America were in southern latitudes,
Brazil and the Argentine being in
polar regios.
Fossils show lee Age.
The discovery of ichthyo fossils
has furnished familiar proof that vast
fields of ice had covered regions
now in parts of the Temperate ana
Torrid zones. Glacial movements in
the British Isles evidence in q posi-
tive degree its former Arctic con-
ditions and my own recorded re-
searches in South and North Amer
lea and Central Europe bear testi-
mony as a part of a long string of
geological Investigations that the
present climatic zones had been pre-
ceded by a frigid climate. The Do
lomites and region of the Aar had
Interested me profoundly but l had
never suspected that the subsistence
of a vast continent was instrument

say that the time Is near when ge-
illogical Investigations will confirm
these things. when the human race
will open it's mind to the treasure
house of knowledge from which l
have drawn in making these reve-
lations. Allegorical and legendary
accounts of the Creation served
their place among historic peoples
to whom they were given, a large
number of prophets of Israel hav-
ing byen psychic, but light upon the
true origin of man who was created
and did not evolve from the genus
Simiidae may well be welcomed.
