Athens.s Isolation.


Athens. the only capital in Europe
which cannot be reached by rail, is sepI
arated by several hundred miles from
the European main railway system, of
which Brindisi, 'Salonika and Constant
tdnople may be regarded as the three
southern termini. The projected line
from Athens to Salonika will bridge
the standard continental gauge of four
feet eight inches, and when completed
1t will be possible to run through car
riages from Calais to Athens, and the
Greek capital will be brought within
three days of London. At present the
quickest transit is five days, via Brin-
dist and Patras. which involves a sea
voyage almost as long as that between
Brindisi and Egypt. Another anomaly
is that Athens is the only European
capital to which there is not a daily
mail from Great Britain, privilege en-
joyed by the European capital" even
of that semi-civilized country Morocco.
The cost of the journey to Athens is
greater than that to any other conti-
mental capital. 1t is not surprising.
then, to find the country, which. next
to Italy, is the richest in historic and
artistic interest in all Europe, is hardly
known at all to the average tourist. 1t
Is still the preserve of the leisured and
wealthy traveller, with his encourage
of couriers and dragomans. London

On the seashore many curious acci-
dents happen to birds. Hunters are
recording peculiar incidents that come
under their notice. There is the case
of the plover which got caught by a
clam. In hunting on the exposed flats
at low tide it must have caught sight
of tempting clam. which was enjoy
ing the scenery with shell half open.
The plover's greed might have proved
destructive to 1t If nearby hunter had
not discovered its plight The clam
closed its shell with vise-like grip as
soon as the birds bill struck it, and the
bird fiuttered violently and vainly tried
to escape. 1t is not very often, how
ever. that the shore birds get caught
in this way, for they give a wide berth

contraction is sufficient to imprison
