men who attended the great rifle meetings

summit. This is affirmed by, at least, one
Greek father of early date. Adventurous
climbers are said to have been overpow-
cred by an irresistible inclination to SUM-
Der, which, by delaying their advance,
has frustrated their hopes of reaching the
summit. This was considered clear proof
of some supernatural guardianship, though
more skeptlcaI age would PROFOUND an
other explanation But there was yet a
legend in reserve to confute the dOubters.
A monk in the monastery at its foot de-
sired so ardently 10 gaze on the sacred
relics that he returned again and again
to the attack, always TO fall asleep. But,
at last, an angelic form stood by him
as he slumbered. and told him that man
might not tread on such holy ground, but
that his faith should be rewarded with
fragment from the timbers of the ark.
When he awoke, 1t lay by his side, and is
still preserved, so the story runs, In the
monastery.
SO strong is this belief that not many
years ago an eminent Armenian ecclesi-
astic when told by an Englishman that
he had just returned from the summit of
Ararat, beamed upon him with a benevo-
lent smile of superior knowledge, and
gravely replied THAT is impossible; no
one can ascend Ararat." But of late years
Notwithstanding this simple way of set
Ting the questionable summit has been
several times reached. The first to make
the ascent was Parrot. a professor 1t Dor
pat, In 1929. Doubts have been thrown
upon his story, but there is not the slight

is the organ through which the air is
pumped and that the vocal chords give
the sound pitch, the words. being formed
by the movement of the tongue, teeth and
lips combined. Now. the sound of tone
as 1t comes out of an organ pipe is SINH
lar to that given up by the human wind
pipe before the words have been articu-
lated by the mouth. Hence, Mr.. Berlinet
reasoned, if Chls pipe sound of the org III
could be conveyed to the mouth, just
back in the throat and articulated proper
ly by the right motions of the lips,
tongue and teeth, the organ could be
made to talk.
With a bit of rubber tubing, which was
placed with one end in a pair of bellows
and the other at the back of the mouth,
he found that by simply giving to the
mouth the motiOnS IL would use in utter
ing certain words the correct sound was
produced on the volume of air coming out
OF the tube in the mouth, just as 1t would
have been made by the mouth in speaking
with air from the windpipe. Though not a
sound was uttered by his own mouth,
which dumbly went through the panto-
mine motions used In articulation, there
were words spoken by the vibrations just
as if they were done In the ordinary way
only, Of course, as there was no use of
the vocal chords which give the varying
pitch, the sound was all in the same key
great feature of the service. Mr.. Berliner
suggests that for a choir there ought to be
four men, each one articulatng from a
different tube representing different
pitches or different voices. such as bass
tenor, soprano and contralto. Thus all the
varying shades of music could be cheaply
produced at third of the present expense.
But the chief benefit to humanity will
be the use to which the dumb can put this
new invention. The dumb are able to
move the lips In the motions used to speak
ing, though they cannot utter a sound
Now, if the sound be brought into the
back of the mouth, forced out and prop
erly articulated by the teeth, lips and
tongue of the dumb person, the result will
be speech. With a simple and cheap APP
paratus this effect can be obtained. OF
course, it will require time for such a
person to learn the correct motions to give
TO the mouth in order to produce the
right words. but that will come readily
with practice, just as one learns the type
writer or to ride the bicycle.

est reason for questioning Its accuracy. AS
he relates in his third attempt. He was
followed at rather long intervals by other
explorers, among whom was the eminent
geologist Abich. in 1915, and in that year
the first Enghshman, Mr.. Digby Seymour,
arrived on the summit. An ascent was
made in 1876 by Prof. Bryce. This was
certainly not the least memorable, for his
companions became exhausted and were
obliged to halt while he made his way up
for rather more than four hours quite
alone. Fortunately of the two routes by
which the summit generally has been
reached-the northwestern and the south
eastern-he had selected the latter, where
the snow, is less steep and Is not so likely
to make much step-cutting necessary.
The ascent has been repeated several
times since then, bat the climb is undoubt-
eddy long and tolsome and the cold may
be, as 1t has been on this occasion, a Sc
riouS danger.
We do1not yet know whether Prof. Stoe-
Der became exhausted or whether the par

doubtless increased by the fact that its
rocks ON the upper part offer hardly any
shelter and the whole mountain is remark

plateau, rising from the plain of the Aras

almost solitary, elongated mass, which

origin, but no trace of a crater remains.
The summit is a dome of snow, but the
last rocks which crop out are individually
volcanic, reddish and grayish scoria. In
fact, lava or. ash is met with everywhere
during the ascent. The materials, so far
as they have been examined, do not ex-
hibit any great variety. They belong to a
species of rock which is named andesite

PIPE ORGANS MADE TO SING.
The Remarkable Discovery Made by
~ Famous Inventor.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
washington, Oct. SO-Now that machines
have been made to repeat articulate
speech as the photograph and gramo-
phone. the next wonder which has been
announced as a scientific discovery by an
eminent inventor is that by means of a
simple machine, the dumb can be made to
speak and the organs of our churches and
concert halls deliver orations, songs and
operas as If they were intelligent human
beings. 1t is not a reproduction of some
thing which has come from the mouth OF
a human being-it Is applying to person
a part of an organ and combining the
properties of the two in such way that
the organ Is governed entirely by the intel
ligence OF a man, yet, though he says
nothing, from the instrument will come
the sound as If he were speaking, only in
volume and tone, the sound being that
given by the instrument.
In other words the miracle of the Bible
will be performed in a simple way by
science, and just as the eyes Of the blind
have been opened by the oculist's knife in
cutting cataract, or the deaf made to hear
by means of the dentaphone, so now there
comes into the use of man an invention
which VIII supply the wanting sounds and
enable him to converse with articulated
speech. And the huge power of the organ
or the siren on the shore can be converted
into songs that will fill a city or choirs
that cost but little, yet render the most
attractive music for opera or church.
Mr.. Berliner's first conception of the idea
of making an instrument produce speech
of itself, instead of reproducing that of
persons, was due to the fact, so he AYERS,
that the mode of vocalizatlon in the hu-
nan body can be almost entirely counter
felted by mechanism and that It occurred
t. him that it would be a useful thing
to apply the principles of human vocaliza-
ton so that the expensive choirs of
churches could be obviated by machinery.
That he has produced by machinery such
speech i'm other words that he has made
an organ talk" he asserts is true, and
that the experiments, while yet in their
infancy, show conclusively that the COM
pletion Of his apparatus is but a matter

friendly with the monarch. He, dear old
fellow, was one of the most amiable of
kings. Progressive, eager to learn and
full of kindness for all human beings, he
eagerly grasped the ideas brought for
ward by Mr.. Banks, and within a month
was putting them In operation upon the
island.
He had telephone inserted between his
audience hall and the council chamber,
and he put telephones between different
rooms of the palace This Mr.. Banks
managed in a crude, though effective, way
by means of wires ana tin cups.
The king also considered the ACCESSIBILITY
of an electric plant, as exploited by his
white guest, for telegraph, lighting and
heat, and began with the crude materials
on hand to establish one.
All these tok time, and while the work
vas going on he became more firmly ce'
mented in friendship to his American ad.
wiser. Finally he would take no refusal,
but that Mr.. Banks should become his
son-in-law and accept place by his side
upon the throne. This the American,
who had become in love with his new
home, was very glad to do, and he ac-
cepted the wife and the seat with equal
equanimity.
But the old king was not content with
this and secretly longed for new honors
to heap upon his son-in-law. Finally,
upon ms 60th birthday, he resolved TO aD-
dictate the throne and to place In the big
carved chair the American Fred Banks,
He did this, and there the American sits
to-day.
To yachtsman, who accidentally
touched upon the island six months ago,
and who, hearing of his countrymans
position, called upon him, the American
king said that If he had an ungratified
wish it was for a white wife of his own
country. He said that his dusky wife,
the old kings daughter, while sweet and
lovable, and all that man could wish,
was yet insufficient to him, because OF
her inability TO discuss with him the life
of the United States, which he has never
forgotten. "If 1 could have a San Fran
CISCO girl or a woman from any one OF
the United States 1 would be perfectly
happy. She might not be as amiable as
my dark wife, but she would be one
Of my own kin, as it were, and should
rejoice in her.
She would live surrounded with slaves
wear civilized garments or she could
which I have, out of compliment to the
natives, adopted. She could have the
whole revenue of the island and be a
queen in every sense of the word. j do
not ask any woman to take the long,
turbulent journey out here, but IL she
should come she would find King Fred
erick waiting to receive her and a wife
prepared to share the throne with joy, for
my Tonga wife knows no wish but mine"
