legen,s of the human race point to
it as the first home of mankind, and
so far do the sober facts of history
confirm the wild fancies of legend
that historian, scientist and myth
gatherer all unite in the belief that
somewhere in the region now general
ly designated as Armenia, the human
race first began that process of migra-
ton and development that has led to
the peopling of every corner of the
earth. The Garden of Paradise was
in Armenia. Adam was an Armenian;
so was Noah, for his ark rested on
Ararat, where, according topopular ira
dition, it remains to this day, having
been seen, or at least reported to be
seen, by two or three different travel
ers. From Armenia began the disper-
sion of the nations, and all the legends

toward that singular land at the head

the home of every nation that preserv-
ed memory of its own origin.
The limits of Armenia proper are by
no means accurately determined, for at
different times the country has been
under many different governments, and
even at present, 1t Is divided between
Turkey, Russia and Persia, and the
boundary lines form a never-ceasing
source of dispute between these three
powers. The truth is that Armenia

other metals, while coal is abundant

Gray Wolves in Montana,

The gray wolves are on the rampage
in the northern part of Gallatin County,
Montana. Already they have killed
hundreds of calves and in some in
stances have been known to attack
steers and cows that became separated
from the herd. They do far more dam
age than the sneaking coyote, for the
large wolves are much stronger, are
more fleet, and when hungry they are
courageous and take desperate chances.
The gray wolf is the fiercest of his
woods of the East and North has been
killed by them, says the Portland Ore
gonian. A few days ago farmer in
the northern part of the county shut
two large-sized colts in corral while
he took his team to field. When he
came back after the colts few hours
later he found both had been killed by
the wolves. Another stockman, while
riding over the hills, came across two
large steers that had been Carrying on
an unequal fight with wolves. The
two steers were surrounded by a num-
Der of big gray creatures and several
coyotes, which had been running the
cattle about. The steers were badly
bitten and they were nearly exhausted
with the unequal struggle. At the ap-
pearance of the stockman the wolves
and coyotes skunk away. When the
winter finally sets in and it becomes a
difficult matter for them to get a calf
or sheep, the stockmen fear that

CRADLE OF THE RACE.
ARMENIA THE OLDEST LAND IN
THE WORLD.
A Country of Great Natural Re-
sources, but Devastated by the
Worthless Turk-May Yet Be De1iv-
cred from the Su1tan's Rule.
Native Home of Man.

The bloody massacres perpetrated by
the Turks and Kurds in the heart of
Armenia served to call public atten-
tion to one of the oldest and most re-
markable countries on the globe, n
country once rich and populous and
powerful, but, like every other land
that has suffered the curse of Turkish
rule, now desolate. There was time
when the Armenians numbered ut
least 25,000,000 population, but now
it is estimated that not more than
100000 remain in their native and
well-beloved land, while 100000 or
100000 more are wanderers to and
fro over the earth, sober, industrious,
economical citizens of many lands and
well-to-do in every country but their
own. They would do well there also
were it not for the Turks. The Otto
man Empire has proved itself in mod
ern times, as the Persian in ancient, q
national curse, Il sore, an ulcer among
nations; it has been said of the Persian
State that of all the nations over which
1t gained control not one ever raised
its head again, and the statement is al
most literally true Far more fortunate
have been the States that have suffer-
ed the blight of Turkish rule. One by
one they have risen in rebellion and
have shaken off the Ottoman yoke.
Years of revolution and bloody war
were sometimes required to secure the
coveted freedom, and the march to
liberty has been over thousands Of
bloody corpses of men, women and even
of children, but by perseverance the
cause was always won. Greece, Ser
via, Roumania, Bulgaria, Roumelia,
Georgia, Circassia, the story of each Is
the samoa bloody rebellion, a long
war, assistance from foreign powers,
and then freedom. The unhappy land
of Armenia is now going through the
preliminary stages Of the process Of
acquiring independence, and ,nefe is
no reason to doubt that In time, and,
perhaps, in no very long time, the Ar
menians will be as free as the Greeks
or Bulgarians are to-day.
1t is n singular land, that in which
the fight for liberty is now being
waged under such fearful odds. 1t Is

The Best Size for n Farm

Small farms are decreasing, while
the ratio of bonanza farms is decreas-
ing. Despite the great increase of
farms from 1870 to 1880 the number of
small farms from three to ten acres
each decreased by 37,132, and those
from ten to twenty by 39,S36, and those
from twenty to fifty acres by GG. 40.
From 1880 to 1890 they decreased re-
spectfully in the order above named.
The statistice thus far published for the
last census are not on the same basis as
those of 1880. 1t shows that the aver,
age size of farms for 1890 was 1877 acres
in lieu of 134 for 1880, and that the
number of farms between 100 and 5OO
acres each has increased in numbers
more than those of all other sizes com.
bined, showing that farms from 100 to
200 acres are regarded by the mass OF
farmers as the most economical size to
own. 1t is assumed that the fittest has
survived.--Prof. J. w. Sanburn.

SPEED OF CANNON BALLS.

How Artillery Experts Measure 1t
with Exactness.
The measurement of the speed of bod
les in rapid movement is effected by
special mechanical contrivances in con-
ncction with electric contacts and self
registering clock-work. The following
Is the procedure adopted: The chro-
nometer or other time-piece to be used
for the purpose is electrically connect
ed with two circuit breakers, one at
each end of the proving ground. The
discharged projectile in its flight strikes
both in turn, starting the chronoscope
at the first contact and stopping 1t ut
the second, thus registering the inter-
val of time between the two. In prac-
teal experiments, the line of flight of
the projectile is intercepted by two disk
like frames &C and ID in the illustration)
at measured distance apart, and sup
ported by the posts A and B, sunk in
the earth. The distance between the
two frames Is ordinarily so meters-55
or 90 yards-and the two are so placed
that the projectile will pass through

sides with small pegs supporting a thin
copper wire that passes alternately
from one side to the other, without in
terruption. In this way the frame be-
comes a network, in which the dame
ter of each mesh is smaller than that

The wire of the first frame G Is in the
circuit of the current of a galvanic bat

parts is shown in the figure. In its

Gcneral Rule.

Among Baron Haussmann's recol-
lections of his earlier experience as a
public administrator, is one of an in
terview with Casimir- Perier, grand
father of the French President, not long
before that much lamented statesman
died, in 1882, of cholera. Young
Haussmann had been making an Off
cial tour of the district of Poitiers, and
on his return to Paris was summoned
before Casimir-Perie who had recently
become President of the Council.
The young man had to answer a
thousand questions, many of them of
delicate nature-about the condition
of political parties in the department,
the possible influence of the admins
tration in the legislative elections, and
SO on.
In the course of the conversation
something was said about the wife of
one of the projects, whereupon young
Haussmann spoke warmly of her do
mestic virtues, with which he had been
greatly impressed.
"Oh yes" said M. Casimir-P Perier,
"but she is too common a body for a
town which contains so many well bred
and cultivated people," And he added,
laughing:
81 shall be obliged to establish, by
the side of my cabinet, a marriage
bureau for my functionaries. Look
out for yourselfW p
But the wary statesman gave his
youthful subodinate a practical hint
about the diplomacy to be observed in
the treatment of such themes. AS
Haussmann had his hand upon the
door, the President called him back.
"By the way" said he, "a young Of
ficer ought always to find the wives
and daughters of deputies amiable and
even pretty"
That was all; but as Haussmann
went down the stairs, he remembered
to have spoken slightingly some time
before of the wife of a certain deputy,
who was as tiresome as she was ugly.
He wondered, he says, how the Presi-
dent of the Council could have heard
of the matter, but he accepted the re-
buke and laid to heart the lesson.
