GREEK ATHLETES.
The Way They Ran ana the style OF
Track They Uscu.

The way They Ran and the style Of
Track They Used.
"In the foot races of the ancient
Greeks" says Il writer, the shape of
the stadium caused great difference,
since it was not circular, but long and
narrow, With one or both ends semicir-
cular. Consequently the runners had
to take sharp turn at the end of each
lap, while except at the turn they We're
this turn needed much practice, for the
pictures on the old vases show athletes
practicing this one part of the race rs
kind of drill, taking each movement
separately.
I'm early times, when all the runners
turned round the same post. the turn
gave opportunities for fonl play, and,
there are stories Of one competitor trip
ping another at the post or seizlng him
by the hair to prevent his winning.
But later, in the shorter distances ut
least, each runner had his own track
and post to turn round, and probably
the separate courses We're roped OF in
much the same way as they are now
in sprint races. For the start elaborate.
arrangements We're made and ut olym-
pia the stone slabs are still TO be seen,
with the grooves at regular intervals
that had to be toed ut starting.
"Greek long distance men ran in the
most approved style OF the present
day. But the sprinters apparently en-
ployed a considerable amount of arm
action and took very long steps. rising
well on to the toes. Then there w;;s the
race in armor. an event highly praised
by several of the Greek writer's rs a
valuable preparation for war and
which is supposed to explain the fa-
nous running charge Of the Athcnians
at Marathon"

DREW THEIR OWN WILLS.


Eminent Legal Lights Who Did So
and Blundered.
Many celebrated men have neglected
to settle their affairs. Ben Jonson,
Dryden and Sir Isaac Newton all died
lntestate, Bacon insolvent, and the
cpigram on Buffers monument in
Westminster abbey sufficiently ex-'
plains why he and many others like
him never made will:
The poets fate Is here in emblem shown.
He asks for bread. and he receives a
stone.
Wills" said Lord Coke, land tho
construction of them do more to per-
plex u man than any other. und to
make certain construction of them
exceedeth jurisprudentium artem." An
old proverb says that every man is eI-
ther fool or u physician ut forty. Sir
H. Halforl happening one day to quote
the saying to circle Of friends, Cam
ming humorously Inquired, .'Sir Henry,
mayn't he be both?" AT any rate, ex-
perience teaches that lawyers who
draw their own wills sometimes make
great mistakes. Sir Samuel Romiily's
will was improperly worded. Chief
Baron Thompson's will became the sub.
ject Of chancery proceedings. while the
will Of Bradley, the eminent convey:
ancer, was actually set aside hy Lord

cur,o.it.e. About Fish scales.

The thin. silvery coating of fish
scales derives its luster from many
minute crystals Of lime. mixed with
peculiar substance called "guanin."
This coating Of silver crystals is very
easily rubbed off the scales. and in the
case Of European species Of carp
known us the "bleak" the crystals are
SO numerous that Il metallic pigment,
commercially known as "argentine," Is
made from them. The large globular
glass beads, known us German" or
Roman pearls, are coated on the in.
side with this substance. In some spe.
cles of fish with lusterless scales the
silvery lining is found on the inside OF
the body. A well known example of
this is seen in the common smelt.

Tic vlxier.. Little Joke.

An ultimatum had on one occasion

the French charge d'affaires went to

cried the vizicr. You are our friend.

TRAFALGAR.


The Swiftncss of Action of Thts Great
Naval Battle.
The world will see other sea fights,
but never one like this, SO close, SO
swift and with SO much in it of the
personal element. And what may be
called the pace of the battle. the swift
ness with which incident follows incl
dent, is almost without Il parallel in
the history of war The first g,,a was
fired at 12:l5; ut 1922, or ony seven
minutes after the French guns opened
on him, Collingwood, with the British
ships nearest to him, wa; through the
enemy'S line.
Only one brief minute later. CT Ill
1928 by the log of the Euiyaius, Mel
son is in the fight, and is pouring his
first dreadful broadside into the stern
Of Villeneuse's flagship Two minutes
later the French and Spuni.h topmasts
begin to fall. At 1:32, or siXty-scven
minutes after the first gun was fired,
Blackwood reports ''the center aud rear
Of enemy's line to be hard pressed in
| action" The fate of the battle is prac-
tically settled. Already some of the
enemy's ships have struck. The swift
moments run OH, and the pulses Of the
great fight keep time with them. The
advantage is not all on one side.
AT 2:3G, for example, or less than two
hours from the moment when. shape
of majestic pride, the Royal Sovereign
moved into the zone of the enemy's
! fire, she lies a masrless and helpless
hulk. She has done her work, but she
has paid II terrible price for it. There
is ut this moment Il futter of flags on
the masthead of the Victory, for Mel
son has Il great captains watchful
vision, and frigate-it is the Euryalus
comes down with every inch of call
vas set, cropping her way through the
| smoke, to take the battered hull of the
Royal Sovereign in tow, so that her
broadsides-the mighty ship can still
fight, though she cannot sail-bcar upon
the enemy's ships within her reach.
This is not battle spread through
days. 1t is compressed almost into
minutes. The first shot was fired at
1915; before o'clock flag after flag is
( going down; great fleet is crumbling
into ruin. BY $50 o'clock all is over

DIETARY STANDARDS.
What Observation Indicates to BE the
Average Mans Daily Food Need.

WHAT observation Indicates to Be the
Average Mans Daily Food Need.
Accepting The daily dietary stand
ards which are based upon observa-
uons as to what people are accustomed
to consume. it is plain that the average
man doing from light to moderate
muscular work must take each day
approximately 116 grams of proteld
matter lS grams of nitrogen), with
sufficient fat and carbohydrate to yield
4 total fuel value of 3,050 large calo-
rles. The usual proportion of carbohy.
Crate (mostly starchy food is about
100 grams to 5000 grams of fat. In
other words. the average man needs,
according to the above hypothesis, ap-
proyinately 120 grams Of proteid, 500
grams OF carbohydrate and 90 grams
Of fat for his daily ration. In order to
obtii! these amounts of nutrients he
would require per day threefourths Of
poGnd OF ordinary roast beef, one
pound of boiled potato. one-half pound
of white bread and one-fourth Of
pound of butter. Naturally much
greater variety of food might be adopt
ed with the same nutritiye values as
the above, but these figures Will suf-
fee to give some impression of the
quantities Of ordinary cooked food
stuffs required to yield the nitrogen
and the total fuel value called for by
the above standard dietary.
A more elaborate diet, one in large
measure free from meat and having es-
sentiaily the same content Of nitrogen
and with total fuel value of approxi-
mately 5000 calories, would be US fol-
