That'the personalities of the contestants in
the recent fnternational athletic events In the
stadium near Athens attracted most earnest
attention t1s evident from the reports in Greek
newspapers that have reached here. One of
these, the CITY, in the issues of March 81 and
April Z. has MARY short paragraphs that a

in modern Greek has translated literally. The
writer apparently was not well informed of

the custom OF. picking up a contestant and

Tho feet of one OF the American runners
are most strange. They have bunions, small
and large. and alEthe muscles stand out most
tremendously. After a run two lift him up
and carryhim to the dressing room, because
he cannot walk"
The writer next chronicles this as evidence
OF Connolly's reliance on supernatural aid:
"The American athletes. and especially
Connolly. pray before beginning the game. He
covers his face with his hands and recites
some American fnvocetions."
Credit is given to the medicinal qualities of
chewing gum In this way:

something and then enter the contest. Two

usually keep some distance 70 the south of the

nautical news will not infrequently see tele-
graphic reports Of an east steamer sight

Moreover. IT is found that even when the routes
that are advertised are followed carefully tho
west.bound steamer must pass away within tho
ice-covered area. and so run frightful risks
that might be absolutely avoided by taxing a
route 200 miles longer.
The common west bound trail crosses the
50th meridian in about Age 30 latitude. 1t is
a somewhat shorter route than the east bound
trail that crosses this meridian nearly a degree
further south. but neither the east hound nor
the west bound trail runs clear OF the ice and
fog. The pilot charts show clearly, as the re-
ports of the ships officers do, that the biggest
and most crowded passenger ships. rs well as
the, cheap cargo carriers, pass through the ice
and incident toys.
BY removing the routes to the south, so that
ships bound east crossed the tiftieth meridian
In 4O' 30 north latitude, and the west bound
forty miles further north, all danger of ice and
fog would be avoided. The most. dangerous
months are April and May. though the Ice often
appears as early as February. and Is seen in
quantities up to July. and occasionally into
AUGUST. stray bergs may be seen the year
around, bnt the danger from these is too remote
TO be considered; April, May, and June are the
important months. II, during this season, ships
were to take the route that is but 200 miles
longer IA run of ten hours, aud conhne their
record breaking trials for u reputation to the
%ice-free months. the passage from New York TO
Europe would become as free from danger as q
