to Little Ararat.
Washington.—Part of one of the
world’s most famous mountains has
changed hands as a result of Persia's
ratification of a new boundary treaty
with Turkey. By the agreement Per-
gla has ceded to Turkey all claim to
Little Ararat. Now both peaks, Great
and Little Ararat, and their common
base, lle wholly within Turkish terri-
tory. A bulletin from the National
Geographle society tells of the double
mountain whose name Is familiar be-
cause of its association with Noah and
his ark.

burz range in Persia lie 500 miles to
