A THOUSAND MILES AT SEA.
In Several Parts of the Earth ships
Can Get That Far from
Land.

The question has been asked, is it
POSSIBLE to sail 1000 miles from land?
This can be done at several points.
By leaving San Francisco and sailing
northwestward into the North Pacific,
a spot is reached where there is no
land-not even an islet-for 900 miles
in any direction. SO, too, sailing from
the southern point of Kamtchatka,
southeastward, ships reach a point
equally distant from land of any kind,
the nearest to the north being the
Neutian islands, and to the south the
outlying members of the Sandwich
group. In the southern Indian ocean
it is possible to sail 1000 miles out
from the southern points of Australia
and New Zealand and still be as far
from any other land, and the same
may be done in a westerly direction
from Cape Horn Indeed, from this
point much longer distance may be
reached, for the southern Pacific, be-
tween the Horn and New Zealand, COW
ers a space of so degrees of longitude
and 40 of latitude of absolutely un-
broken sea, making its central point
over 1000 miles from anywhere.

THE EXPERTS IN WAR.
Military Training Alone Not Ca1cu-
lated to Develop Originality
of Thought,

The truth is that military men in
England did not show themselves one
whit more competent to estimate the
military problems of the Boer war
than civilians. They relied, like civil
ians, on tradition, and laughed at the
idea that any such changes had taken
place in the art of war as were pre-
dcted by theorists, who declared,
among other things, that offensive
warfare was much more difficult than
formerly, says Jean de Bloch, in
National Review. The cause of mill
tary blindness is in no way obscure.
Military training is itself antagonistic
to original thought. 1t is no wonder,
therefore, that nowadays when rifles
and artillery are hundred times
more powerful than before, when ar
mics are five to ten times larger, and
when railways have changed the
whole art of war, that we find the
system of instruction differing very
little from that employed in the days
of Napoleon. or, for the matter of
that in the days of Gustavus Adolf
phus. Yet even among military men
themselves the more enlightened feel
as many doubts as Marshal SAKE.
That the methods to be adopted in
the future wars are a matter of grave
doubt has been declared by writers as
eminent as Won Rhone, Janson, Null
Ter, PellGt-Narbonne and Skugar-
ewsky 1t is expressed eNcellently in

10 the islands from which they take
their name. and were first taken to
England on ships plying between

FEW GREEKS IN GREECE.
That Country Are of SlnNonic
Origin.

Greece died because the men who
made her glory had all passed away
and left none of their kin. and there
fore none of their kind. Ills Greece,
but living Greece no more for the
Greek of to-day, for the most part,
never came from the loins of Leoni-
das or AIilitiades. He is the son of
the stable boys and scullions and
slaves of the day of her glory. those
of whom imperial Greece could make
no use of in her conquest of Asia.
Most of the old Greek race" says
Mr.. W. IL. Ireland, has been swept
away and the country is now inha b.
tied by persons of Slavonic descent.
Indeed, there is strong ground for
the statement that there was more
of the old heroic blood of Hellas in
the Turkish army of Edhem Pasha
than in the soldiers of King George,
who fed before them three years
ago" King George himself is only
an alien placed on the Grecian throne
TO suit the convenience Of the out
side powers, which to the ancient
Greeks were merely factions of bar
barians, says David Starr Jordan, in
the Popular Science Monthly. In the
late war some poet, addressing the
spirit of ancient Greece, appealed to
her:
OF all thy THOUSANDS grant us three
To make a new Thermopylae
But there were not even three-not
even one-"to make another Mara
fhan." and the Turkish troops swept
over the historic country with no
other hindrance than the etfortless
depreciation of Christendom.
