Physical Endurance Of the Ancient
Greek Soldiers.

The physical superiority of the ante.
Alexandrlan Greeks to the hardest and
most robust nation of modern times is
perhaps best illustrated by the military
statistics of Xenophon. According to
the author of the " Anabasis - the COM
plete accoutrements of a Spartan soldier,
in what we would call heavy marching
order, weighed 70 pounds, exclusive of
the camp, mining, and bridgc-building
tools, and the rations issued in weekly
installments, which increased the bur-
den of the infantry soldier to go, 95, OF
even 100 pounds. This load was often
carried at the rate of four English miles
an hour for IL hours per diem, day afte;
day; and only in the burning deserts o
Southern Syria the commander of the
Grecian auxiliaries thought it prudent
to shorten the usual length of a days
march by one-fourth. The gymnastic
tests applied by the syntanchas, or re
cruiting officer of a picked corps, would
appear even more preposterous to the
uniformed exquisite of a modern
"crack regiment Even tall, we'll
shaped men of the soundest constitution
could not pass the preliminary examin-
alton unless they were able to jump
their own height vertically, and thrice
their own length horizontally, and two
thirds of those distances in full armor;
pitch weight equal to one-third of their
own to distance of 20yards, and throw
"a javelin with such dexterity that they
would not miss mark of the size of
mans head more than four out of ten
tunes at distance of 80 yards, besides
other tests referring to their experience
In the use of the bow and the sword.

Edison and the Unseen Universe.

hitherto mans knowledge of the ex-
..nt NJ the universe has been bounded
w. The limits of vision. During the day,
y the range of sight is narrowed by
me SUMS excessive brightness, we see
Int a minute fraction even OF the little
,rorld we inhabltsf At night wider
zach of vision is possible, and some
,SousanSs of stellar and planetary
hodies are added to the domain of
~ositiye knowledge, thus enlarging
Enormously mans idea of the magni-
.mde of the universe. But the increase
" knowledge which darkness reveals is
almost infinitesimal compared with the
wider view of the universe opened up by
the telescope; and every addition to the
telescopes penetrative power brings a
larger and larger universe within our
ken.
enables us to reach the limit of the uni
vsrse no one imagines. See as much as
we NAV, more-perhaps infinitely more
lies beyond. So, at least, all expert
ence leads us to infer; but our positive
knowledge ends with the limit of vision.
Must this always be SOP Hitherto
science has given no hint of the posi-
bility of exploring the vast and mysteri-
ous beyond, from which no visible ray
of LIGHT has ever been detected, oris ever
likely to be detected, by the most far
reaching and sensitive of optic aids.
But now there comes promise OF an
extension of positive knowledge to fields
of space so remote that light is tired out
and lost before it can traverse the inter-
yening distance. A new agent or organ
of scientific sense for space-exploration
has been given to the world in the tasi-
meter, by which it is possible not only
to measure the heat of the remotest WIS.,
ible stars, but, Mr.. Edison believes, to
detect by their invisible radiations stars
that are unseen and unseeable! Mr..
Edison's plan is to adjust the tasimeter
to its utmost degree of sensitiveness,
then attach it to a large telescope, and
so explore those parts of the heavens
which appear blank when examined by
telescopes of the highest penetrative
power If at any point in such blank
space the tasimeter indicates an Access
sion of temperature, and does this in
variably, the Legitimate inference will
be that the instrument is in range with
stellar body, either non-luminous or
so distant as to be beyond the reach of
vision assisted by the telescope; and the
position of such body can be fixed and
mapped the same as if it were visible.
Seeing that the tasimeter is affected by
wider range of etheric fluctuations
than the eye can take cognizance of, and
is withal far more acutely sensitive, the
probabilities are that it will open up
hitherto inaccessible regions of space,
and possibly extend the range of our
real knowledge as far beyond the limit
attained by the telescope as that is be-
You'd the narrow reach of unaided
vision. Possibly too it may bring with
in human ken a vast multitude of nearer
bodies-burnt out suns or feebly reflect
ing planets-now unknown to us be-
cause not luminous. ---Scientifc Aners-
