The New Republic 'a Arai at :is it
Province •of Armenia.
The--t"eceut appeal made by the
newly established will
of Ararat
.for recognition will be better under-
stood,,at least geographically, when
it is explained that- the region in
- question is a province cif Armenia.
It trilcee it.s flame :ixom the moue -
lain on which the Aik made a land-
ing after the Te lood--Ararat inoaning
Noah's Mountain.
The whole world, according to the
Bible story, was submerged during
the period ci: the Deluge and Ararat's
topmost peak was the first dry land
to appear above the water::, for the
r.imple reason that it eves the loftiest
--in Armenia, -at all events.
As viewed to -day it gives ti notion
of the depth of the Flood, inasmuch
as the'peak is more than three miles
above sea level. It is dome-shaped,
and its slopes for 9,000 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 anneals disembarked from
the Ark. • As for an ascent to the top,
it was formerly believed to be impos-
sible. • The Armenian monks de-
clared that remains of the Noachian
bark still existed on the summit, and
that by reason of their sanctity a sti-
perna.tural influence forbade ap-
proach.
Nevertheless, in September, 1829,
a bold climber, Dr. Johann Parrot,
succeeded in reaching the top of Ara
rat, 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 adventurous 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 .a
Lesser pet:e called Little Ararat,
which (really part of it) is a cone
of exquisite symmetry—an ,ideal vol-
cano of a type plainly recognizable
as an ash pile formed about an erup-
tive chimney.
Below, in the valley or Araxes, was
the Garden of Eden, according to Ar-
menian tradition. At Marsand, in
that neighborhood, was (so the monks
spay) the burial place of Noah's wife.
At Arguni, a village near a great
-chasm that runs into the heart of the
mountain, Noah planted the first
vineyard.

CAPTAIN STICKS TO SHIP
Britisja Skipper Remains on Water-
logged and Dismasted 'Craft.
The British schooner Charlevoix,
who -se skipper, Captain Roberts, re-
. fused to leave his dasmasted and
waterlogged craft when his crew of
seven men were taken off in midocean
February 8, by the steamship J. A.
Bostwick, and later landed at Ke
West, is still afloat with its skipper,
who is just as determined as ever not
to leave it a derelict on the high seas
asp a prize for some fortune-hunting
tug or steamship which might come
along and pick it up and tow it in to
some nearby port.
The devotion of Captain Roberts to
the interests of his owners is regard-
ed as one of the extraordinary ex-
amples of heroism in the annals of
the sea. According to the master of
the Bostwick, no persuasion could in-
duce Captain Roberts to leave his
ship, which was on a voyage from St.
Andrews, Fla., to Macoris, with a
cargo of lumber. A severe storm dis-
mantled the vessel and caused it to
leak, the lumber cargo alone keeping
it afloat.
It was forty-eight hours after the
Bostwick had left the Charlevoix,
with all its crew except Captain Rob-
erts on board, that the wrecked craft
was again met by a steanship. Rang-
ing, near the deep laden hulk, the lone
mariner on board was asked if assist-
ance was needed.
The reply came back that no help
was needed.
The steamship is of steel. The ship
then was 27 degrees 55 minutes north,
longitude 79 degrees 5 minutes west.
He Was Too Busy.
An Italian having applied for eiti-
lienship In the United States was be-
ing examined in tho naturalization
court:
"Who is the president of the United
'States?"
"Mr. tads'" - r
"Who is vice president"
"Mr. Marsh,"
"Could you be president?"
"Mister, you 'souse, please. 1 very
busy worka da mine."
An Irishman stood for some tlhne
before .a hall in which a general light
Seemed to be going on. Finally he
could staled it no longer, and, ap-
proaching a man in the doorway,
asked: "Excuse me, sor, but wud you
Mind tellin' me—lz that a private

' According to official figures the
total number of Americans that have
taken up residence in the Province of
Alberta since 1905, including five
months of the fiscal year 1918-19,
reaches 275,093. In 1905 the Prov-
ince of Alberta was organized, and
statistical information has been kept
since that date of the immigration
into the three provinces of Saskat-
chewan, Manitoba and Alberta. Sas-
katchewan ranks second, with 226,330
immigrants, and Manitoba third, with
only 78,739. The largest immigration
into Alberta from the United States
came in 1909-10 and numbered 34,563;
the smallest, in 1018-19, numbered
5,613.
The total population of Alberta in
1916 was given officially as 496,525.
The British imin,igration during the
thirteen years since the province was
organized was 73,082, and other than
British 40,282, making a total of 113,-
364, as 'compared with 275,093 immi-
grants -of American nationality. The
predominance of the American immi-
grant over all other nationalities is
nearly seventy per cent. Assuming
that the proportion of immigrants
from the United` States residing in
Alberta prior to the organization of
the province was about the same as.
is now existing, the total American
population in Alberta to-dayeis prob-
ably 325,000 out of the entire popula-
tion -of 49,52F, or about 65 per cent.
Of course, hundreds of Americans
have taken up Government land and
have become naturalized, .and many
hundreds of immigrants have left the
United States before they had com-
pleted their naturalization there. But
the predominance of Americans in Al-
berta is very narked, and this pre-
dominance has a direct influence upon
trade with the United States. -

L. Gulley, D.S.O., who enlisted in the

ago.
Early Sunday morning, August 11,
1918, word was brought in by motor
boats that a Zeppelin had been sight-
ed. When he was some 10,000 feet
i p, Culley sighted the Zeppelin a con-
•biderable distance away. He decided
to attack it. He kept straight on
until .the Zeppelin was almost direct-
ly over him, when he pulled up the
nose of the plane and emptied his
machine gun into the bottom of the
airship, it being some 200 feet above
the plane. The plane itself was 19,-
000 feet in the air.
In about half a minute or so spurts
of flame appeared in several'..arts
of the Zeppelen.
The ships .had been watching the
performance and immediately the
Admiral saw the flames he sent this
signal to all the ships round about:
"Turn to hymn 224, last verse,"
°which is as follows:

people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn ttops soreness
at once, and soon the corn dries up
and lifts right off without pain.
He says freezone is an ether com-
pound which dries immediately and
never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter
of an ounce of freezone will cost very
little at any drug store, but 1s suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from one's feet. Millions
of American women will welcome this
announcement since the inauguration
