Scientific Examination of 50

f CAMBRIDGE, Mass.. March 51
(By the Associated Press.) The
history of the ancient. kingdom of
Ethiopia: through the long span
of 1 100 years from 750 B. C. to
250!A, D., has been completed in
principal outline by excavations in
tombs and pyramids in the Anglo-
Egyptian Soudan by the Harvard-
Boston expedition headed- by

The Ethiopians, Dr. Reisner de
clared, are; not and were not Af

miles south of Luxor and the val
ley of the; king where the dis
covery of King Tutenkhamun's
tomb, was recently made. The re
port picks up the main outlines of
the history of Ethiopia from 600

since Adam was the last anizn.:

Adam, r Since disease germs ar j

on: animals! and plants' in whir!,
they cause j d teease, it was clear
that thesej'germs would not hiv j

Therefore, said Dr. Stile.' i?
Mr firyan'a challenge Is to be ac
cepted,' "we ,.. must conclude: th at
Adam harbored every, germ dis
ease Jvhlchfls characteri3tic c
man jot dependent on man for It i
life cycle." r - V
Eden In China .
According to that, said Dr.
Stiles, Adam must have had am
ong other trouble various specie 3
of cooties, ftyphus fever, ; boo!;
worm, ' pneumonia, tape ;worn,
jacksonian epilepsy, three kln;i
of malaria. sleeping sickness, tu
berculosis, .typhoid fever, Aslat j
cholera, damps, whooping cougi.
yenow lever, ecariet iwver, meas
les, meningitis, infant paralysis,
and small pox.
.From that deduction, and ad
mitting that Adam survived all
these. Dr. Stiles said if must ta
further deduced, that the Garde i
of Eden waa In China becacs
that If the only place where nsi

afflictions.;
Moreover, Adam, like as net
had a boil on his nose. Dr. t!l; -
further reasoned and an abnor
