Garden of Eden Language
as Described by Darwin

Writers Of many different nation
alities have claimed that their lam
guage was the one spoken in the
Garden Of Eden, says London An
swers Magazine.
In 1880 a man named Goropius
declared that Dutch is the language
spoken in Paradise, and therefore
that Adam talked Dutch. Andre
Kemp, on the other hand, believed
that the Almighty addressed Adam
in Swedish, and was answered in
Danish, while Eve spoke French.
II this were so, how did Adam and
Eve get along when they talked to
each other?
The Persians are also generous in
awarding three languages to the
Garden Of Eden. They believe that
the Serpent used the most persua-
sive tongue, Arabic; that Adam and
Eve used Persian, the most poetic
Of tongues; while the Angel who
drove them from the Garden used
Turkish, the most threatening of
tongues.
Naturally, the Jews claim that
Hebrew was the primitive language.
This theory had most votes from
Eastern writer's, the next on the list
being Syriac; but claims have also
been put in from other parts Of the
world.
A writer named Erro pumps for
Basque as Adams language; others
declare that Polynesian was the
primitive language of mankind.
It seems more than probable.
however, that none Of these Ian
guages was spoken in Eden, be-
cause none Of them was then in ex-
istence.
The first men are more likely to
have conversed by means Of signs
and cries than through the medium
Of any known tongue. This is the
opinion of no less an authority than
Charles Darwin, who thus recorded
his view of the matter:
II cannot doubt that language
owes its origin to the imitation and
modification, aided by signs and
gestures, of various natural sounds,
the voices Of other animals, and
mans own instructive cries."

we are looking forward to staying.
Some think that the Japs will come
down through Shansi and over this
way to the end of the railroad and
then cut south across the noun
tains to Hamchun, but doubt that.
They are concentrating on Hankow
now, and will use every expediency
to take that port. But with the
trouble in the north and in Japan
with the Soviets, there may be a
different story to tell in a short
time. Unless, this is just a bluff"

An Indian Legend

The Indians of the black swamp
region Of Ottawa county, Ohio,
handed down a lover-follows-his-
love-to-death legend of the swamp
land. Soon after his loved one
passed on, according to the legend,
the young redskin saw her ghost on
the dark waters. Into the darkness
he followed the ghost, who took
him to his love. Afterward, the two
could be seen rowing in a canoe on
the water.
