ADAM LIVED IN SUSSEX.
A SCIENTIST’S CLAIM. Although Sussex has been praised highly by many distinguished writers, so far none of them has ventured to suggest that this pleasant country was the authentic Garden of Eden. But, if an American scientist is correct, such a claim could legitimately be made. According to him, most of the remains of pre-historic men that are familiar to science weren’t quite the real thing. The “first real man,” in his view, lived in Sussex, which is thus the cradle of mankind. This authentic Adam is said to have lived about a millio'n and a-quarter years ago. Judging from what we are told of the other inhabitants of Britain at this period, he must have had an exciting time dodging mammoths and sabre-toothed tigers.
