Sacred Mount of Ararat

Had not St. Hagop tried again and
again to reach the sumrit in order to
silence the skeptics about the ark. but
found himself each mornir on wax

presented him with a piece Of the ark
for his pains. but told him to cease
his attempts to reach the forbidden
ground.
THAT was in the fourth century OF
our era. but the piece o. the ark IL

year." says a writer. Seventeen as

James Bryce. unaccompanied. made
his remarkable ascent in 1878 he was
told by every one whom he met In
the vicinity Of the mountain that the
top had never been reached. and.
what was more. It never could be
Jinns and hends and giants had pre-
vented the rascally Kurds from even

4 Chair Of Chess.

Some place I'm the courses OF study i'm
the schools ought to be reserved for the
working Of puzzles.
1t is all well enough to learn arithmetic
and algebra. botany and geography and
history; but a fault which these studies
have in common is too much certainty.
To every example In the arithmetic
there is an answer: but I'm real life often
as not there isn't any answer at all.
The flaw in exact sciences, considering
them as a training for life, is that they
are exact.
When q pupil graduates and undertakes
the real problems OF life he finds in them
very little that corresponds to the
processes he learned In school. For in
stance. he has before him such problems
as these: How to make friends. how to
get a post, how to sell goods. how to
make love, how to live inside his income.
how to treat his wife, how to manage
children and how to be decent, happy.
successful and reasonably good.
Any one Of these things is more like
the orking Of anagrams, REFUSES and
missing words than II is like multiplying
137. 654 by 279. The latter is too easy.
Games in which skill and chance are
pretty evenly mixed are more like actual
life. Take a game OF chess. When you
move your kings pawn to the kings
fourth square, get out your kings knight
and bishop and advance your queens
knight. all looks simple: it's like arith-
metic; but by the time your adversary
traps you and captures your castle. and
despair and panic invade your soul. and
you don't know what to do next, but still
believe you have a fighting chance. that
is very much like running a grocery store
or getting elected to Congress.
On the whole, chess, judiciously in
dulged in Is one of the most Instructive
exercises in the art of living. OF course.
one can overdo 1T. just as he can overdo
eating. But there are moral qualities in
the game, as a game. and not as a pro-
fession.
First. II demands attention. You cannot
play chess and gable It calls for cour-
age: one cannot win and be always on the
defensive. It requires that you respect
your enemy: You dare not count on his
making q mistake I'm your favor 1t de-
velops self-control. patience. caution and
the observance Of the rules of the game.
Are not these the very qualities needed
in accomplishing anything I'm business,
And as to politics. how much pleasanter
ii would be IL conducted as a chess game
is conducted.
I should recommend. therefore. to any
commercial bandit that has grown Often
sively rich. and that wants to endow
something to salve his soul. that he endow
q chair Of chess in his alma mater.
For life IL not an exact science that
can be worked out by rule; II is a game
OF mixed chance and skill.
