THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
s "SITE OF TWO BATTLES."
STORY FROM MESOPOTAMIA.
Times and Sydney Sun Services. (Received September 26, 2.15 p.m.)
London, September 25. The correspondent of the Times in Mesopotamia says that students of divinity will be interested to know that two important actions have been fought on the actual site of the Garden of Eden, which it is locally stated, is Kurna, near the junction of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
The officers of the British troops garrisoned there express doubts as to the authenticity of the story, although they are pandering to local opinion so far as to name the two most important thoroughfares "Serpent's Corner" and "Temptation Square."
