Conclusion of a scientific exjfcdition, recently returned from famous Easter Islands go far toward clearing up the mystery which has surrounded that liny spot of land in ths south central Pacific for the past 250 years. Investigation of these Franco-Belgian scientists support the conclusion that the much-discussed carvings and l.i tone monuments on the island are not the work of a preiu.- toric race which disappeared when some lost continent sank into th, ocean. The expedition concluded from its work that the statue, were the ! creation of comparatively recent times, that the island was not the remnant of a lost continent, although the monuments were quarried right there on the island. Their theory is supported by primitive tools which were uncovered and by examination of the monument* themselvea I
