THE LOST PARADISE
THEORIES AS TO THE LOCATION OF
THE GAP,DEN OF EDEN.
T/m ConncnnuN of l.<-nrnc<l Opinion
Support* (lie It?-1 Irf Tliut Adam and
Eve'n Original Home Wiim on Hie
Ureal Babylonian Plain.
Almost every rpot of the globe has
hail the claim made on its bclialf that
It is the site of vanished Eden. Most
persons seeui agreed on the fact that
paradise has disappeared from our
midst. The question Is, Where >vas it
slluutedV To those who deny the Biblical
story of umn's genesis the question
takes another form, and they perplex
themselves as to the spot in which
man first appeared on this earth.
Some evade the difficulty by saying
that man appeared in many different
spots?that he did not spring from
one original.
If we accept the doctrine of the Darwinians
we ure forced to confess that
the place where man first evolved must
have been anything but a garden of
Eden. It must have been a haunt of
mere uuimnllsut. and its food would
certainly not have beeu fruit. Roughly
speaking, therefore, there are two
schools?those who believe that man
came from a divine original, but fell
away from his first estate, to which
with Infinite labor he may return, and
those who believe that he evolved from
the beast and is still evolving to the
greatness that he may ultimately attain.
Setting aside these somewhat
discordant theories, we may well ask.
Where was Eden?
The soundest scientists are agreed
that mankind came from a single origin?whether
a distinct creation or an
evolution is beside the mark?and the
original man must have had a local
habitation. The geographical manuals
and maps of the middle ages leave a
good deal to be desired in the matter of
accurate detail, but they have at least
the merit of boldness, and if we go to
them for an answer to our question wo
may get something like n definite reply.
According to an old map of the
thlrtcehlli century, paradise is n circular
Island lying near India. It is
surrounded by a wall iu which is a
e,uv*.-.? nj upcniug 10 xue west. The
gate is closed and the wall quite insurmountable.
Our later atlases do
not locate this happy island.
Other early maps would have us believe
that Eden lay In central China.
We can go with these ancient geographers
so far as to place the probable
site of man's birthplace In Asia, but
the consensus of learned opinion docs
not incline cither to India or China.
Eminent authority supports the Idea
that Edeu lay somewhere on the great
Babylonian plain, watered by tbe Tigris
and the Euphrates?the Peratb and
Hiddekel of Genesis. Other authorities
give their vote for Armenia, possibly
Influenced by tbe tradition wblcb says
that the Ark rested on Mount Ararat,
but this tradition would only point to

Nile have all their supporters. Quatretages.
treating tlio subject solely
from a scientific standpoint, concludes
that linguistic and other human types
point to central Asia, but does not decide
on any precise locality.
With the author of Gcm$ls, as Dr.
Kalisch has remarked. "Edeu is geographically
described iu a manner
which leaves 110 doubt that distinct locality
was before the mind of the author."
Even to those who think that
this author was building 011 uncertain
traditions it must yet lie of Interest to
know what this locality was. Babylon
was the most fertile land known to the
ancient world; its poorest fields repaid
cultivatiftu. flftyfold, its better a hundredfold.
Its luxuriance of fruit and
grain was so great as to be actually
embarrassing. There is 110 question at
nil that this district was the seat of
Asia's earliest civilization and therefore
why not say of the world's?
The idea of man created perfect and
living in n garden of fruitful loveliness
has always had a fascination for poor
uuuiuimy, reeoguiziug us present imperfections
and the frequent distressing
disuialness of Its present surroundings.
Even those who knew nothing of
the Bible story pictured such n spot for
themselves. Every early mythology
has Its fortunate isles, its Atlantis, its
Ilesporides, Its Arcadia and its Golden
Age.
Soino persons even conjectured that
paradise had not been on the earth at
all. but was an island floating in the
air, something like the island visited
by Gulliver. They "did not wish to
think that the sacred - spot could be
submerged by the waters of the deluge.
and by this device they raised it
above any such calamity. On this Island
dwelt the sacred phenlx; the
well of life flowed there, the elixir of
immortality; leaves never fell from the
trees; the sun shone always on a perpetual
summer. .Men .declined to believe
that Eden had been destroyed
forever. They preferred to imagine
that its gates were closed to them for
a season. To deem that such a spot
could vanish Reciued sacrilegious.
Many an early voyager and explorer
had strange dreams of discovering
some earthly paradise when ho set out
for unknown shores?dreams perhaps
| not spoken. but secretly nourished and
strengthened by uncouquerable force
of romantic superstition that lived In
the heart of ages in other ways so
dark. Kvon the Elizabethans dreamed
i nlmtys of some more wonderful country
to be discovered. Their tolls and
perils and fightings had ever the redeeming
glamour of romance. In those
days wns the true poetry of travel.
There was always some El Dorado,
some hidden Eden, to he reached. ?

A mantle wide by deft winds span.
That glitters brightly In the sun.

It lies as softly on the earth
i As mists upon the sea;

With fleecy fluff llko thistledown

And now and then the west wind low
Picks up a misty veil of snow
And tosses it In glee.
The trees clad In their robes of white
Are things of beauty now;
A million crystals catch the light
And flash and shine and sparkle bright
And gleain from every bough.
