PEAK WHERE NOAH LANDED
Mount Ararat, in Northwestern Per-
STA, Is Now Part of a Recently
Created "BuffeF" State.

Youthful students of sacred history,
if they will look up the map of the
near East, will find in the extreme
northwestern part of Persia noun
tain peak marked Mount Ararat. That
should give them a fine starting point,
for they will remember that it was on
Mount Ararat that Noah, in the Bib
lical account landed Mount Ararat
is the loftiest peak in AZerbaidjan,
1900 feet above sea level, but if they
have neglected news from Europe
they may not know that AZerbaidjan
is new republic established by the
political strife in eastern Europe in
the expectation that it will act as
political and military buffer for some
of the great nations.
The inhabitants of Azerbaidjan are
Persians, Armenians, Kurds, Tartar
Turks and Arabs, whose valleys are
veritable garden spots. 1t ranks in
statistics as one of the most produc-
tive spots in all Persia, but young
readers will find their chief interest in
the fact that it contains Mount Ara
rat, which gave Noah his first shelter,
according to the accepted narrative.
The erection of Azerbaidjan as a buff
fer state brings the remote past and
the immediate present together in a
way which may also awaken the in
terest of those who have moved past
the years of youthful curiosity.-Pitts-
burgh Dispatch.

Merely a Good Story.

Wars produce many stories of fic-
ton, some of which the Oftener they
are told the more they are believed to
be true. The Civil war was no ex
ceptiOn to this rule, and the story Of
the apple tree is one of these fictions
based on a slight foundation of fact
There was, indeed, an apple orchard
on one side of the hill occupied by the
Confederate forces. Running diagonal
ly up the hill was a wagon road which,
at one point, ran very near one of the
trees, so that the wheels of the We
hicles had on that side cut off the
roots of the tree, leaving little en-
bankment. General BabcOck, of my
staff. reported to me that when he first
met General Lee he was sitting on this
embankment, with his feet in the road
below, and his back resting against
the tree. The story had no other foun-
datiOn than that. Like many other
good stories, it would be very good il
it was only true.-MemOirs OF
Ulysses S. Grant.

Mast-Furnishinq Tree.

In Canada and eastern United
States the larch, sturdy tree, which
belongs to the pine family, often grows
so or go feet high and is generally
known as hackmatack, while in the
Central states it is called tamarack.
The European variety is even taller
and has longer leaves which don beau
tfful autumn tints before falling.
On account of it's long, tapering
form, the tree is extremely useful for
masts in sailing vessels, telegraph
poles, and a variety of purposes, and
as it is common from the Arctic circle
to the United States, it is easily found
for the especial use for which it is
adapted.

pers for the coming year was discuss
ed at length. Means of carrying on
the campaign, plans of organizing the
county to carry on an effective cam
paign and the proper methods Of dis
tributing the, poison was taken up.

discussed among which were corn
production, potato marketing, devel-
opment of better livestock, cooperative
marketing association and Boys and

ic, each agent was given an oppor-
tunity to discuss any problem per.
tanning to agriculture in his county.

liable information which he will car
ry back to the farmers in his county.
