ner is determined solely by length Of
throw, measured from the front of the
platform on which the thrower stands.
In putting the shot the thrower will
stand upon platform two meters square.
The length of the throw will be measured
by straight line drawn from the point
where the shot first strikes the ground to
the nearest side of the platform. Thus it
Is seen that the direction of the throw is
of radical Importance. This shot throwing
will bo heavy work and very trying test
of muscle and pluck, for the shot will
weigh z, 800 kilos, which is something near
16 pounds.
Another sort of muscular development
is required in the rope climbing contests.
Success in these depends entirely upon the
strength of the muscles of the arm. Tho
height of the rope will be II meters, and in
making the ascent the climber must keep
his feet and legs absolutely motionless.
The weight lifting tests will be confined
to lifting the weight Of 3S Kilograms (S3A
pounds) with one hand and duInbbells of
" Kilograms GG9A pounds) with both
hands.
The wrestling contests will draw big
crowds, for they will be duplicates of the
original wrestling matches that were had
in this same stadium 1900 years ago.
The contests will be held in ring strewn
with sand. Tripping, bending the neck,
clutching the head or the legs, bending the
legs, biting, putting adversary's head un-
der the arms or legs and squeezing under
the armpits are forbidden. The competi-
tors are paired by lot
Since the restoration of the great stadi-
um the proportions are practically tho
same as they were originally-th is to
say, there is a straightaway track about
600 feet long, and the total length of the
amphitheater is approximately $40 feet.
Under the ancient regime in the time of
Herodes Atticus and his multimiliionaire
companions, the magnificent arena is said
TO have had seating capacity of about
so, 600, and Row, by the addition of th1
temporary wooden structure, 1t is said
that there are accommodations for 10000
spectators.
The track width of the stadium is 1O9
feet and its field area S,100 square yards.

AS soon az the plan of the proposed re-

known it became the center of universal
interest. In each nation a committee of
prominent men was appointed to partioi-
pate in the work and to stir up the athletic
world 10 an appreciation of the Importance
of thu scheme. The general committee
was formed, and on its list were placed
the most honored names of every land.

Oil Soaked wood That Was Fireproof.

OIl soaked WOOD ThaG was EtreproOfs
The wood used in the hold of vessel
to keep the barrels and hogsheads from
rolling out Of position, known as 'dun-
mage" is generally good for fuel, but
there are exceptions. A Portland man
was offered quantity of this stuff re-
Gently, but was advised not to take it, as
it would not be worth the trouble. 1t had
been used as dunnage for barrels of kero-
sene, and the barrels of leaking Gil had
completely saturated it, but this, strange
as it may appear, rendered the wood al
most unfit for use. 1t would burn so sui
lenly or soggily that little heat would be
given forth. The reason is that the vola-
tile, inhammable principle of the oil evap-
crates from the wood and leaves only
clogging, incombustibls substance.-Lew-

Charles Goldmarck, composer of 'tThe

She replied indifferently, II do not" He

themselves, who for SO large part of the
ancient time were leaders in athletics as
well as in art, have never seen it's like, for
they in the height of their glory would

LEG AMPUTATED.

Some weeks ago, Mr.. Claude King,
one of the efficient foremen at Duke S
factory, was caught by a shafting. At
the time of the accident it was thought
that Notwithstanding his right leg
was badly broken the limb could be
saved. However, some days ago it
was apparent that nothing but am
putation would save him. Wednes-
day the leg was taken off just below
the knee. The operation was perform
ed at the Watts Hospital, where he has
been since the accident, by Drs. n. M.
johnson, A. G. Carr. John NJ. Man
ming, A. Cheatham, n. 7. Boddie and
II. ". Battle. He is said to have stood
the operation remarkably well, and at
last account was resting quietly.
Mr.. King is one of Durham's clever
est citizens and by his gentlemanly
bearing has made many friends.

to witness the happy event. The cou-
pie have many warm friends who wish
them much happiness in this new rela-
ton.
Assistant Chief of the Durham Fire
Department. Howard f. Heartt, was
quite painfully hurt at the fire Thurs
day morning. The walls of the ice fac
tory building were of sheet iron, and
in pulling them down. one side fell on

the wounds.
The news of the resigna ton of DIR
Winston as president of the University

pressions of regret. Dr. Winston is
well known in this city. and the people
are 10th to give him up.
The fire at the ice factory, an ac-
count of which was phoned the News

caused by the explosion of lamp.
The actual loss is not less than $4,000.
