CRADLE OF MANKIND
DISCOVERED iN AFRICA AMERICAN'S CLAIM (United Press Association—By Eleotrie Telegraph—Copyright) (Australian Press Association) (Received 31st July, 9.15 a.m.) NEW YORK, 30th July. Alonzo Pond, American archaeologist, representing the Logan Museum, claims the discovery of the cradle of mankind in Africa, and within a month brings to America, the skeletons of fifteen, individuals who l lived and died but probably never fought 20,000 years ago. Mr Pond insists that the real Garden of Eden is located in Algeria. He pieced together the bones of these men who lived before history was recorded. They closely resemble men of to-day. Mr Pond hopes to be able to trace mankind's migration northwards through the sluggish Nile and Niger valleys into Europe. One skeleton en route to America is of a man of more than six feet. The others range from five feet four inches to six feet.
