the extension from Larissa to Gida will
be "a miles, the total distance from the
Piraeus to Salonica being 1928 miles.
The first part of the line from the
Piraeus to Thebes, tapping the fertile
plains of Boetia, and the branch from
Skimarati to Chalcis, were inaugurated
by King George on March 19 Of this
year, and recently another section
Thebes to Livadia-was opened to traf-
fic, thus completing 100 miles of rail-
way. On this portion Of the line Is
Lake Copais, which was drained by an
English company. the land so reclaim
ed being exceptionally fertile and capa-
BILE of growing anything.
Work is being actively pushed for
ward on the line beyond Livadia and
Dadi and Lamia, and the branch to
Stylis, on the sea, Is nearly complete.
In the mountainous country between
Livadia and Lamia there are great en-
gineering difficulties, including II tun-
nels and several viaducts over 300
yards long and nearly 200 feet high.
Nevertheless this section will be finish
ed next year. A large amount Of tun-
mel work is also necessary between La
mia and Memirly, but the difficulties
are not so great as on the previous Sec
ton, while from Demirly to Larissa the
work is quite easy.
When the line is completed, the jour-
ney from the Piraeus to Larissa will
occupy ten hours, and in four more
hours the traveller will reach Salonica
whence an improved service Of trains
will convey him to Nisch on the
through route between Paris and Con.
stantinople.
BY those who have seriously studied
the question, 1t is firmly believed thai
the line, even II 1t go no further thar
Larissa. would pay; but, of course, the
real objective is a junction with tn,
Turkish system OF railways. SO as tt
place the Piraeus in direct railway
communication with the various capi
tails of Europe. The main route fol
passengers and mails to the east wouls
then lie through Piraeus. which is 81
miles nearer to Port Said than is Brin
disi.

NEW ROUTE TO INDIA
EIGHTEEN HOURS SAVED FROM
LONDON TO BOMBAY.
A Through European Railway Line
That Will Connect Greece with
the Other Nations of the
Continent

In these days of rapid transit, when
the journey from London to Bombay
can be performed in a fortnight, every
hour counts for more than 1t did in the
cid days, before the age of steam, and
any scheme to bring India half day
nearer to London would be sure to at
tract attention. The new Greek railway
which is now being constructed will,
when finished, accomplish more than
this, the precise saving in time in the
Journey to the east being calculated at
is hours. In addition to this, IL will
form the sole railway communication
between Greece and the rest of Europe.
for, strange as it may seem. Greece has
not yet been connected with the Euro
pean railway system, the few short
lines she possesses stopping short of
the Turkish frontier. The new railway
then will be an important factor in the
commercial development OF Greece. and
with a direct service from Paris to
Athens an immense tourist traffic will
be assured, and students OF art and
archaeology will flock to the cradle of

.Unearthed by a

"A Paymaster Hid

While plowing in field on his farm

it is thought to be considerable, says
the Dunkirk Standard. Indications

money or valuable papers in the treas

make Its value unknown.
This find will perhaps renew the

could easily find it. The army wat
soon ordered on the march and tn,
paymaster was never able afterwards
to locate the treasure.
A few days ago some strangers from
