gnamHB SOIL of Armon?a, land of
Bl many, miseries and massacres,
n is drinking tko blood of ber
Jajj. Christian martyrs again. To
tho memory of. tho.most ot us
St seems as If tho Christian nations
have always been protesting against
Armenian butcheries by thc Turks.
It is a singular land, that in which
the Turks aro putting so many men,,
women and children to the sword. It
is a land so old, reaching so far back
into the morning mists of . history that
the earliest legeuds of thc human race
point to it as the birthplace of man
kind. There rise tho headwaters of
the River Euphrates., which flows on
through tho Garden of Eden. Mount
Ararat lifts its sublimo head above vUe
plain, of those massacres with the
Same placid oblivion to human crleB
and pangs that lt showed when Noah's
Ark rested there.
. Tho very village founded by Noah !
and his family when they emerged
from tho.Ark 13 yet there, tho oldest
inhabited town in tho world.
The Armenian is tho oldest branch
of Aryan Block on this earth. They
traco their descent back to Japhot,
grandBon pf Noah. That may or may
not be true, but certain it ls that
from that land in tho shadow of Ar
arat, somewhere in the region now
generally designated as Armenia, the
human raco first bog?.n that process
of migration and development that has
led to tho peopling of ovary corner
of tho earth. Prora Armenla began
the dispersion of the nations, and all
tho legends of the sarly^ prehistoric
days point the finder back toward
that land at the headwaters of tho
Euphrates and Tigris as the hirth

The Armenian Pompeii.
Ani is a remarkable rubied Ar
menian city in tho heart of the Cau
hiing walls and tho ragged foundations
of ita ancient buildings, mayhap, have
served, since the outbreak of the great
war, as defenses for the Russian or
Turkish soldiers. Ani is the Ar-!
menian Pompeii. , ?
The ruins lie in a rolling, parched,
upland country, almost deserted. They
aro near tho Alexandropol-Erivan rall'
way, a little more than thirty miles
south of Alexandropol, and como thir
ty-'ave miles from tho Run so-Ott oman
boundary. There is a steep hill to
the. south and east of the storied cap
ital of the old Armenian kingdom,
and through V tortuous gorge boBide
the dead city ?IOWB the Arpa Chai, a
weird, bright-green river. ThiB ia the
site of the last great city , of a free
Armenian people.
Ani waa once a famous, splendid
capital, the ' "city with the 1,001
churches," whoso Inf uenco extendel
throughout the Caucasus, and aa fai

main ot ita population are an agec
Armenian monk, the director of ex
cavations .and the pleasaut host t
stray antiquarians and other toar?a
to placea out of, the way, and a fe
Armenian peassjfta.
Tho ancient capital waa. built upc
