WW» ¥••• w»« Vigo, the Spanish seaport. Is an old 1 time scene of war. It was to Vigo that , Praku mid Norris sailed lu 15*1 to . place Don Ant'inlo on the throne of ‘ Portugal.

When the English under Hooke , put Into Vigo harbor again there was , treasure in sight A fleet of Spanish galleons, of which Beuliow had been In pursuit, was in the bay. protected by a i Ereiich fleet.

, THE LOST PABAIHSE t — - » THtORIES AS TO THt LOCATION OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN. r The < «n.rn*aa of Learaed Oplaioa th.- Heller That A ill. 11l soil Eve's Original Home Was on llir Ureal llahrlunlan I'lala. I Almost every spot of the globe bus '• had the claim made < n its behalf tb.it * It is the site of vanished Eden Most 1 pontons seem agreed ou the fact tbiit 1 pnrtidlse bus disapptnired from our midst. The question I . Where w«s It f altustod? To those who deny the Bile ! Ileal story of man's genesis the ques- . tlon takes another form, mid they |s-r---plex themst-lves us to the spot in which muu tlrst appeared on this earth. Home evade tie 1 difficulty by saying I that man np|H*risi in many different that be did nut spring from one original. If we accept tl* doctrine of the Bar- , wlulmis we ure forced to confess that the place wkere num first evolved must . have beeu anything but a garden of i Eden. It must have been it haunt of mere animalism, and its fisjd would cert.-gnly not have Is-en fruit. Rough* i »ly speaking, therefore, there are two hi'lkmils- those who Is-lieve that man I catue from a divine original, but fell away from bis first estate, to which with Infinite labor he may return, and those who Is-lleve that he evolved from the beast and la still evolving to th--greatness that he may ultimately* al- ! tain Retting aside these somewhat : discordant theories, we may well ask. I Eden? The soundest aetontidts are agreed that mankind camo from a single oriI ! gin whether a distinct Mention or an evolution is beside the mark mid the original man must have bad a local habitation. The g - I maun * I and maps of the middle n*w leave a I g<Hsl deal to Is- desired in the matter of i aiv-nrnte detail, but they have nt least ■ the merit of Isihlne-* and If we g > to ‘ them for an answer to our question wo I may get something like n deflnite re- I I ply. According to an old map of the I thigi-enth centurF. paradise is a circular Island lying near India. It la surroundisl by a wall in which Is a , gateway op< ning to th* west. The gate is closed and the wall quite insurmountable. later atlasi-s do i not locate this hap: y Island. * Other early tn:i| would have us beI I Here that Eden lay in central China. | We can eo with these ancient geog•a > far -bl pl e tie’ ore 'e site of man's birtliplncqgin Asia, but the consensus of learned opinion does not incline either to India or China. Eminent authority support* Hie Idea that Eden lay s »meu lien- on the great Babylonia-} pluiti. watered by the Tigris and the i. lirah-s- the Pcratli and Hiddekel of Genesis. Other authorities give their Vo*- for Armenia. po-'Pdy , influenced 4>y the tradition which says I that the Ark rested >n Mount Ararat. : but this tradition would only jioiut to Arm- Ida as the |i:< l-able first 1 >me of postdiluvian man. Professor I<elitzs,!i and Pr-t-*<or ' Sayre favor Babylon: Heidegger favors Pah-stine: Media. Arabia and the ups i-r Nile * ■ i-ail their supporters. <yur.-trefagi-s. treating the subject solely I from a si-ientiflc standpoint. <-on.-lu<l<-s I tl* linguistic and other human types point to central Asia, but does not cldc on guy , v 'lse locality. With the author of Genesis, as I»r. l<di-.4i has remarked. "Eden is geoi graphically deseritied in a manner I which leaves no doubt that ->• net Io eallty was liefore Hie mind of the an- ' thor." Even to those who think that this author was budding on uncertain traditions It must yet la- of know what this ha-ality was. Babyion ; was the most fertile land known to the ; ancient world: its poorest fields repaid tlftyfold. its la-tier a bug dredfohl Its luxuriance of fruit and I grain was so great as to la- m tiially j . There#- no question at i I all that this Mistriet was the seat of i 1 Asia's earliest civilization and there- ! fore why not saw of the world's? Tlie idea of man created perfect and , living in a garden of fruitful loveliness | h is always had a fascination for po-# | humanity, recognizing its present itn- i I perfections nnd the frequent distressing ilismnlness of its present surroundings. Even those who knew nothing of , Rilile story pictured such a spot for themselvi-s* Every early mythology ! 1 has Its fortunate isles, its Atlantis, its Hesperides. its Arcadia and its Golden > Age. Some persons*e-en eouje- ittred that paradis-- hail not been on the earth at all. but was an island floating in the air. something like tin- island visited by Gulliver. They did not wish to ‘ think that the sacred spot could be 1 submerged by the waters of the <lelI uge, and by this device they raised it i above any such calamity. On this isI land dwelt the sacred phenlx; the i well of life flowi-d there, the elixir of Immortality; leaves never fell from tl-e trees: the sun shone always on a p«-r- , petual summer. Men deelim-d to believe that Eden had l-eeu destroyed ; forever. They preferred to Imagine that its gates were closed to them for , a season. To deem that such a spot : could vanish seemed sacrilegious. Many an enrly voyager and explorer had strange -Iretims of discovering ' some earthly paradise when lie set out for unknown shores dreams perhaps , not spoken, but secretly nourished ami ' strengthened tty unconquerable force of romantic superstition that lived In tlie heart of ages in other ways so dark. Even the Ehzabetlmns dreamed always of some more wonderful country to be <1 scovered. Tm-ir tells and perils and fightings had e.er the re-j deeming glamour of romance. In those days was the true poetry />f travel, j There was always some El Dorado, some hidden Eden, to be reached. — Kansas City Independent.
