REVIVAL OF OLYMPIC GAMES.
The Proposition Called Out an Enthusi-
astic Response Ina Greece.

The Proposition Called Out an Enthusi-
astic Response Ina Greece.
When the revival was first proposed,
more than two years ago, Greeks Of
every class joyfully responded, though
the suggestion came from France. IL
was clearly out of the question, for
practical reasons, to locate the games
at the old. and new-found Olympia.
Equally impossible was an exact re-
vival of the old festival. In detail the
ancient games befitted the life long
passed away. The proper site was
found In Athens, the metropolis and
leading railway center of modern
Greece. The Piraeus, only five miles
from the city, opens on the blue waters
of the Saronic gulf and the islanded
beauty OF the Aegean sea. Yachts,
traversing n long course here, would
cut the same waves which witnessed
one OF the worlds greatest naval bat
ties off the promontory of Snlamis.
To give the project any hope of sue
cess IL was seen that the games must
be modern In character, such as can be
sensibly held at various cities In other
parts of the world in time TO come.
Jerseys, knickerbockers and modern
running shoes must replace tho train
ed muscles, glistening with oil, which
once delighted the beauty-loving
Greeks. The blows OF the iron-clad
cestus; the firm lock of the wrestlers,
with ita trick of hurting over the hip,
which meant broken bones TO the van
quished; the complex combats. taxing
the last reserve OF skill, audaclty, and
strength; the wild drive OF the chari-
OTIS, with the inevitable crash In jockey
ing for the wall. and shortening the
curve mt the corner pillars these
things will no longer darlxcn the Olym-
pic spectacle with the shadow Of
tragedy. But In short and long-dis-
lance running, jumping, lcaping,
throwing the discus or QUOT, and the
running races of horses ridden by the
gentleman riders. there will be a close
likeness 10 the old games. To these
the schedule adds most OF the standard
forms of modern athletic contests.--G.

Young Animals
To an inquiry for the best ration for
mares In foal end for colts from one TO
three years old, the Country Gentleman
replies that there is no better collection
of foods for both the brood mares and
the colts than roots, oats. wheat and
bran and middlings. linseed meal and
skim milk. though other materials. such
as barley. corn TO a limited extent. malt
sprouts and other by-products may be
used.
A grain mixture consisting OF four
parts ground oats. four parts wheat
bran Tor middlings. not the finest), and
one part linseed meal. will do oil that
any mixture will In promoting the kind
OF growth That Is desired.
In the case OF the mares, the quantity
OF grain ration that should be fed de
ponds so much upon conditions-such
as size. the quantity of work. whether In
CESSATION or suckling the foal-that we
are sure IL will be more sensible for a
practical feeder TO govern the ration by
his persona. observation than by any
arbitrary rule which we might venture
70 suggest.
Skim milk would be a food par excel
lence for the colts. even for those three
years old; and IL supply of this can be
had for 20cents or less per 100 pounds, no
more economical food could be found
for part of the ration. If the milk is
fed, the linseed meal may be left out OF
the ration, and the bran and oats re-
tanned, In the proportion of one pound
Of the mixture to six pounds OF the milk
for the younger colts, the proportion OF
grain increasing as the animals grow
older. The skim milk would also be
splendid food for mares while suck
ling their foal. In any case, especially
IL all other foods are dry, roots are ex-
ceedingly desirable as an occasional
feed, and they may be fed daily to colts
with excellent results.

The Mikndo 60 Have Half million E4ec>-
i've Soldiers Tan Years from New.
Our correspondent at Toxic. writing
on january s. sends us resume Of the
large schemes Of military and naval de-
velopment contemplated by the Japa~
nese government. AS 10 the navy, In
seven years there viii be expended on
men-of-war 81 100000 yen, and 10000
600 will be devoted To the construction
of docks and various editices. These
figures are independent OF vessels al
ready ordered abroad, among which
are two battle ships Of over $4,000 tons
each, which will probably be ready for
sea IN the course of a year. Evidently
the intention is TO possess navy more
than equal TO the combined squadrons
Of Britain. Russia, France, Germany
and the United States aggregating
1sS, 900 tons---now on the Pucific sta
ton. 1t mast always be borne in mind
that although japan cannot procure
ships and guns more cheaply than any
other country can, once in possession
OF such weapons OF war she maintains
them at an outlay almost incredibly
small when judged by western stand
ards.
The period OF seven years corre-
spends with the period fixed by the
Shimonoseld treaty for the payment OF
the Chinese indemnity. China Is
pledged 70 pay the last installment of
the indemnity by May, 1902, until
which time Japan holds Wei-Hai-Wei.
In connection with the naval exteh-
sion scheme may be mentioned the es-
tablishment of an iron foundry. Japan
uses 100000 tons of iron and steel every
year, put produces scarcely any, al
though she possesses iron ore md coal
in abundance. II is proposed TO begin
by manufacturing $4,000 tons Of metal
annually including $4,000 tons OF Bes-
semer steel. The estimated expendi-
lures on account OF this establishment
aggregate little more than 100000
yen tsay C 42o.000), and are to be
spread over n period of four years.
Only two foreign experts will be en-
ployed at first. japan imports iron,
steel and their manufactures, and
these totallcd over 100000 yen last
year, nearly 100000 of which came
from Great Britain.
With regard TO the army, the exact
degree of increment projected by the
government cannot yet be stated. but
It will not be far from the truth TO say
that the present force is to be doubled
In nine years. Last year the regular
expenditures on account of the army
aggregated la,5oo.o0o yen; this year
they are put at 15.oo0,o00. and an ex-
traordinary grant of i0,250,ooo Is also
asked for the construction of barracks
and forts, the manufacture of small
arms, and so forth. Japan's fighting
force In 1905 viii be approximately,
100. 900 with the colors, 1855. 900 reserves,
and 10000 landwehr-that Is To say.
100000 men In round numbers. IL will
sound almost incredible 10 western
ears that she should maintain such a
force at an annual expenditure of TO-
100000 yen, of about e2,750.000
sterling; but such. nevertheless, is her
estimate, and the expenditure of 20
years justincs as In believing that her
calculations are not faulty.--Londop
