ON LOFTY ARAFAT
Beautiful Mountain Is a Long
Extinct Volcano.
Il Has Been Scaled, and, Contrary to
Tradition. No Proof That Noah's
Ark Ever Landed There Could
Be Discovered.

The recent appeal made by the
newly established republic OF Ararat
for recognition by the United Stiles
will be better understood, at least geo
graphically. when 1t is explained that
the region in question L a province
Of Armenia.
II takes Its name from the noun
tain on which the ark made land
Ing after the flood--Ararat meaning
Noah's mountain.
The whole world, according to the
Bible story, was submerged during the
period of the Deluge and Ararats top
most peak was the first dry land to
appear above the waters. for the SIM
pie reason that it was the loftiest--
In Armenia, at all events.
AS viewed today 1t gives a notion
Of the depth Of the food, inasmuch
as the peak is more than three miles
above sea level. II Is dome-shaped,
and its slopes for 1900 feet from the
top are covered with everlasting snow
and great fields of glittering ice.
The climb down must have been
rather difficult for Noah, his family
and all the animals disembarked from
the ark. AS for an ascent to the top.
1t was formerly believed to be i'm
possible. The Armenian monks de-
clared that remains of the Noachian
bark still existed on the summit, and
that by reason of their sanctity SUI
pernatural Influence forbade approach.
Nevertheless In September, 1922 a
bold climber, Dr. Johann Parrot, sue
ceeded In reaching the top of Ararat'
and on coming down stated that he
had found not even the keel Of the
ark up there. Since then the feat has
been repeated by several other adj
vcnturous persons.
Ararat comes pretty near to being
the most beautiful mountain in the
world. It Is a long-extinct volcano
standing almost isolated save for q
lesser peak. called Little Ararat. which
Greatly part OF It) is cone If exqui'

The United States hirplane Engine
that is being exhibited and demon
strated az 1410 Main street, Dallas,
is the mechanical ma rvel of the sge
according to the comments going
the rotwds of expert opinion.
The motor is not only adapted to
the aeroplane but is adapted TO
many other uses where horse power
up to 300 H. p. is sufficient.
Farm Tractor.
A big idea given considerable boost
ing by the public is the 4-wheel drive
farm tractor that will fill a long ex-
pected need.
Plans are now being made to
build small, cheap, lightweight
tractor for the use of the small far
mer--one especially adapted for
piowing.
BY reason OF the extreme simplicity
and cheapness OF construction Of our
engine. 1t will be possible to build
tractor having very high clear
ance in its center, so that it may be
used to piow corn after IL has grown
to height OF three or four feet--in
fact, this tractor will be as high as
the present cultivators used through
out the corn belt and we expect to
be able to put this tractor on the
market at a lower price than any
farm tractor now being offered to
the public.
