Show Believes Adam Was Born in Arctic Zone. After much careful study nnd two trips to tho polar regions, Louis Lindsay Djche, naturalist anil professor of natural nat-ural hlstor) at the Kansas university, hns arrived at the conclusion Hut the first human beings wero born nnd lived In the Anllc zone. Professor Djrho does not deny that such n place na tho tl-u-ilen of Ildrn existed, but ho tnyn If there wus such n place It existed cine hundred thousand ears before tho time tovered by Hlhllcal history. Ile hna made the follow lne statement for the New "lorlc lletnld, based on his rosea ro-sea relies. 'If there was such a place as the Garden of IMn It was at tho north pole. One hundred million jears before man could have lived on the earth, animals ani-mals nnd plants lived In the Antic tone. The earth cooled llrst nt the poles nnd. ns there vvob no land nbout the south pole the plant and anlinil life existed ex-isted about the north pole.
