CRADLE OF MANKIND
DISCOVERY IN AFRICA CLAIMED (United Service.) New York, July 30. Mr. Alonzo Pond, an American archaeologist, representing the Logan Museum, claims the discovery of the cradle of mankind in Africa, and within a month will bring to America the skeletons of fifteen individuals who lived and died, but probably never fought, twenty thousands years ago. Mr. Pond insists that the real Garden of Eden is located in Algeria. He has pieced together the bones of these men who lived before history was recorded. They closely resemble the men of today. Mr. Pond hopes to be able to trace mankind’s migration northward through the sluggish Nile and Niger valleys (?) into Europe. One skeleton en route to America is a man more than six feet tall. Others range from five feet four inches to six feet.
