Strange But True

By F. H. MacArthur

There is much evidence that man may have been on the North American continent longer than he has been in Europc.

Here are a few amazing facts gathered from lengthy research and is now presented to readers of Strange But True to help sub- atantiaie this data:

Digging in the bed of an an- cient lake in California, workers found artifacts which are esti- mated to be at least fifteen thou- sand years old; and the remains of Minnesota man, taken from glacial Lake Pelican may he more than twenty thousand years old; and those from the lower levels of the Sandia Caves in New Mox- lco. are presumed to be from the interglacial period just before this. Another evidence of man's an- tiquity in America was the find- ing of the celebrated Calaveras Skull found in a mining shaft at Aliaville, California. Pro fes sol Whitney, who made a careful ex- amination of the skull reached the conclusion that it represented a people who existed even as far back as Miocene times.

The Calavcras Skull was of a higher type of humanity than oth- ers found in that same part of the country. And strange but true, many of the objects found along with the skull were well- fashioned, clearly coming from an advanced new stone age civiliza- tion anii-dating that of Europe hy thousands of years. Yet at the time Calaveras Man is said to have inhabited the earth, so-called Hiedelberg ape man were

you see. the picture artist, who- ever he was. must have known what these creatures looked like. Another ancient relic is the paved underground street discov- ered by Thomas Kenny in the Plateau Valley. on the west slope of the Colorado Rockies. Still in a good state of preservation. the pavement is made up of tiles. each one beingnexactly "five inches square, laid in mortar which chemical analysis later proved to be of different composition from anything found in the valley. This relic of the past was viewed by many archaeologists, all of whom agreed that it was laid many thousands of years ago. The clue to its age is that similar strain in the district have been found in fossil remains of the long extinct three-toed horse,

A similar paving was discover- od fwelyc feet beneath the sur- face at Blue Lick Springs. Ken- iucky. It was cut and laid as per- fectly as would be possible with modern fools.

And now we come to the bronze coin found one hundred and four- teen feet beneath the surface near Cliiilicath, Illinois. in 1871. while boring an artesian well. Above if were five layers of. or levels of boulder clay and three of soil. with more clay on top, showing ihai the coin had been dropped ihcre at the beginning of the glacial pr-rind.

in Pentral and South America. the rcmains of ancient men have been unearthed at various places. though the vast stretches nf imountaln and jungle stand in the way of extensive. exploration. What amazing secrets lie here can only be imagined.

Judging from tho nbovc data it forms certain that tho Bering land-bridge theory hardly can ey-

Before he could start there was a sudden bang from among those young pines in the distance. The young Fox running toward them stopped abruptly. then fell over. The hunter came out of the pines, went over to the young Fox and picked him up.
