Kilbourne as in a masure our own and would like to believe that his early days in Stanley Quarter left lasting imprint upon it's character Over near the Newington boundary, William Smith and his brother, Eben- eZer built the mills early known as Churchill's mills, but to us as Lu- ther's mills, and by him and his nephew Ebenezer, operated for many years. These mills certainly did pos- sess the double virtue of being useful and beautifully situated, and who of us does not think the drive down the so-called Barbour road and around by the same old mills, one of the pret- tiest to be found anywhere?
 Something About the Andrews.
 Of my own ancestors, several amusing anecdotes have come down to us. My great grandfather, known in those days as Ensign Andrews (his real name was LevD was born in Ber- lin. His wife Chloe Wells was born III NGWlHS lOll. II UT SoulS IAiIiN oAhSh their marriage they lived in Newing- ton, coming through the famous Spiritual Lane to meeting. Finally great grandfather decided to build himself a home here and bought the land on which the house now occu- pied by the Leghorn family now stands. That same house was begun, and slowly built, hewn out by hand as were all houses in those days. Probably my great grandm other never had many opportunities to watch the progress of her new home except on the weekly journeys to meeting, but do you suppose she would turn her face in that direction? No, indeed, it is on record that she kept her head resolutely turned away, lest the in trusion of such worldly thoughts would turn her mind from spiritual things. Verify to paraphrase an old says Times have changed since Chloe died'' as witness her de- scendants indulging in automobile rides on Sunday. This same lady was, in her youth, known both as a thrifty housewife and one possessed of an extremely violent temper and a very sharp tongue So gnat-like and irri- tating were her verbal attacks on her patient spouse who is described as very quiet but withal a witty man, that finally the village pastor, that patient soul who was expected, on very small and uncertain salary, to adjust all such matters, was called upon for advice. He first assured the husband that such domestic atf1lctloh would probably render him more nt for Heaven, whereupon the husoahd replied that he would like some com fort here! The pastor then Ventureo into the fearsome presence of the or lending lady. Firmly, but gently ne adm onished her on the error or her ways. Now, what do you suppose was the result? If I gave you three guesses you would surely end Wlde

DORIS RebeIlion.r

From 1868 the people of Rhode
Island had lived under a charter grant
ed by Charles II, according to which
only those owning a certain amount
of property could vote. A desire to
change this provision arose and in
1S41 two parties were in the field,
the Suffrage" and the Law and Or
der" Each party determined to con-
troll affairs. Each elected its own state
officers. Thomas w. Dorr was chosen
governor by the Suffrage party. He
took possession of the state arsenal.
The militia was called and he was
forced to fee. In a second attempt
the party was downed by United
States troops and Dorr was arrested,
convicted of treason and sentenced to
life Imprisonment, but soon was par
doned. This was DORIS rebellion.
A free constitution was adopted by
the people while Dorr was imprisoned.

Hertzian Waves.

Hertzian waves are electric waves,
so called from Heinrich Hertz (1S57
1894, a 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.

FAMOUS OLD MOUNTAIN
ARAFAT HAS A CONSPICUOUS
PLACE IN HISTORY.
Center of Troubled Land Where Fesce
Is Comparatively Unknown Guam
tity-Proud Record Claimed
By Armenian Race,

Noun Ararat, where there has
been hardly a 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
Il 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 a 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-14OOO
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
flood, the immediate descendants of
Noah, so to speak; for the first viii
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 'Noahs 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"
