Hertzian waves are electric waves,
so called from Heinrich Hertz (1S57-
1S94), German engineer and scien-
fist. who first demonstrated the posi-.
bility OF wireless telegraphy. In the
course of his investigations he dem
'onstrated some new principles regard
ing the transmission of light and cleo
tricity, and his premature death was
regarded as a distinct loss to science.
Wireless telegraphy is sometimes
called Hertzian telegraphy. The pres
ent Marconi method of telegraphing
without wires is by means of 'Hert-
zian waves which pass through the
ether-the medium that fills all space,
and remains after air has been ex-
hausted. The apparatus generates
and transmits these waves, the exis-
tence and operation of which were
first demonstrated by Hertz.

Why You s6eeze,

There is more than one cause for
sneezing, and persons may differ IN
their susceptibility to them. A bright
light will cause some persons TO
sneeze, the pollen of certain plants
will affect others, and most people
are likely to sneeze in the presence Of
dust. Such sneezing is due to super
fetal irritation.
The sneeze caused by the effect of
cold is different. It is an attempt of
nature to cure you. She makes yUu
sneeze for the same reason that she
makes you shiver-to generate heat
for warming the blood and preventing
you from taking more cold-te help
relieve the cold you have.
The sneezing from cold is not an
act of the nose alone, this being mere
ly the part of the body where it ex-
plodes. 1t is an act of the entire body.
during which every muscle gives a
jump. The body is affected by a
spasmodic effort to warm the entire
System and throw of the cold.

FAMOUS OLD MOUNTAIN
ARAFAT HAS A CONSPICUOUS
PLACE IN HISTORY.
Center Of Troubled Land Where Peace
Is Comparatively Unknown Guam
tity-Proud Record Claimed
by Armenian Race.

Mount Ararat, where there has
been hardly moments peace since
Noah and his ark grounded upon its
massive shoulder, is at present the
huge, troubled boundary mark be-
tween the Ottoman empire and Russia,
and under the shadows of the historic
peak the fighting lines of Osmanli and
Russian have been swaying back and
forth, never far beyond the lines of
the frontier" begins bulletin issued
by the National Geographic society.
"Ararat is the hub of Armenia, Of
the original home of the Haik people
1t is also the center of what has ever
been the most troubled area on earth
Tribes of Europe and of Asia have
fought each other here from the dawn
of history. and the remnants from the
battles have settled as neighbors, hat
ing, despoiling, massacring one an
other
"Ararat is one of the most impress
sive of earth's mountains, for it rises
sheer to the clouds out Of an immense
plain.
"The dominant mountain is split
into two peaks, Great and Little Ar
arat. Great Ararat rises to height
of 1900 feet above the level Of the
sea. Little Ararat. where the boun-
daries Of the Ottoman empire, of Rus
STA and of Persia meet, reaches an
altitude of 1880 feet. Though the
snow line here is very high-14,OOO
feet-the dome of Great Ararat is COW
cred with Offering fields of unbroken
white
"A vast wealth of legend surrounds
the mountain, which has always deep
ly impressed the imaginations of the
peoples who have wandered. passed or
settled beneath it. The Armenian
priests long believed that the wonder
full mysteries of its summit might
never be surveyed by human eyes,
and all thought Of scaling Ararat was
considered almost in the light of
sacrilege.
THE Armenians have also held that
they are the first people after the
Hood, the immediate descendants OF
Noah, SO to speak; for the first vii
lage that Noah founded after abandon
ing the ark was Nakhitchevan. So the
Armenian thinks that his people were
the first race OF men to grow up in
the world after the food.
The name Ararat means high The
Persian name for the mountain Kohl
Nuh. means 'Noah's mountain 1t has
been determined by the natives that
the Garden of Eden was placed in the
valley of the Araxes.
''Noah's wife was buried in this val
ley near the mountain, and grapes are
still grown there whose vines are the
direct descendants Of vines planted by
Noah"
