Garden of I'.den \\n* in
Chlnn.
The famous Egyptologist, Prof. J.
de Morgan, who stumls at the head of
the unliqiiarians of the whole world,
has just inude startling discoveries in
underground Kgy-pt, which prove the
founders, not only of Egyptian civiliza-
tion, but also of the civilization of the
whole world, were Chinese. His aston-
ishing discoveries show that the Chi-
nese were the first civilized race to in-
habit the earth, nd therefor* the Gar-
den of Eden was in China, and Adain
and Eve were Chinese.
M. de Morgan has been for many
years director general of antiquities of
I he Egyptian government, lie claims
in his great work which has just now
been brought out in Paris, "Recherche®
stir les Origiues de 1'Egypte, l'Age dt*
la Pierre et les Metaux" (".Researches
Into the Origin of Egypt—the Age of
Stone and Metal"), that the boasted
civilization of Egypt comes by way of
Assyria from central China, and< proves
that ihe origin-of our civilization really
comes from Assyria anil Egypt, as has
been generally held heretofore by
scholars.
But M. de Morgan says in all Africa
we And the Hints and the iron imple-
ments, but where are the bronze imple-
ments which are found in other con-
tinents? Every antiquarian knows
that no race, save the African, has gone
directly from Hint to iron—the age of
bronze is a necessary connecting link.
But this link is missing.
Where is the missing link? M. do
Morgan cannot find it short of China.
There was the regular advance from
stone to bronze, from bronze to iron,
and hence he concludes that this is
one proof that the art of working met-
als came from China to Assyria, from
Assyria to Egypt, when some Assyrian
tribe conquered the original inhabit-
ants and brought its* arts with it, but he
has still other proofs. He finite that the
hieroglyphics of Egypt are very much
like the earliest form of writing among
the Assyrians.
Another proof that the Pharaohs
were of a foreign race is the fact that
not a single trace of the art of the Pha-
raohs has ben found in the archaic
tornbs.
Commenting on the theory of M. de
Morgan,Pa'iil llaupt, professor of He-
brew, Assyrian, and other Semitic lan-
guages in Johns Hopkins university,
says:
"I have always believed, that the civ
ilization of ancient Egypt was derivec
from .Ha by Ionia, more especially from
southern Babylonia, bordlering on the
northern shore of t!:e Persian gulf.
The Babylonians who invaded Egypt
may have been Semites, but their civ-
ilization was, no doubt, derived from
the non-Semitic aborigines of Baby-
lonia—viz., the Sumerians.
"Many points of contact between the
Sumarians and the Chinese have al-
ready been pointed out. Prof.Terrien
de Lacouperie, of London, has writte
on this subject, and Rev. C. J. Ball has
published a number of papers on lin
guistic affinities between Sumerian
and Chinese."

He will be remembered as the man who
was seut to the Chester penitentiary
for two w ars, after being convicted of
having sought to collect a pension from
the government as William Newby,
when the evidence showed to the satis-
faction of the jury that he was Dan
Benton, or "Uiekety Dan," of Trenton,
Teun.
Newspaper re oilers are familiar with
his story. The man was seriously
wounded at Shiloh. IIis mental condi-
tion was impaired and for over 20 years
his family believed him dead. During
this time he did not know lihis name or
address and could give no information
about himself. lie finally recovered and
went to his home at Fairfield, 111., and
made application for a pension,
with the result as stated. II is
wife was the only one of the family who
would or could, identify him, his sisters
and brothers declaring him an impos-
tor, and it. was principally through
their evidence that he was convicted.
A correspondent had a long talk
with Newby, and he declares he has
found the real Dan Benton. The man is
in the poorhouse at. Springfield, Tenn..
lie says, and has been there for years.
Newby says he will go to his home at
Fairfield at once, and make another ap-
plication for a pension and for back
pay. lie claims to be able to establish
his identity.

In Brow nsville they don't cut the bread

Nathan and his family surrounded

He bit into the piece, and as he did

looked at the piece her husband held,

There, half hanging out of the piece of

was a little mouse. He had bitten off
its head in biting the bread.
Nathan became ill. and as he jumped
up from the table to run out of the
