Hence, careful measurements were
made of the discus in the hands of
the well known figure. A similar mis-
sile was produced, and weight throw
ers set to practicing to master this
new old sport.
The proper way to throw was quick
ly learned. for many statues OF discus
huriers survive from ancient Greece,
when next to the runner and wrestler,
the man who could send the missile
farthest got the most coveted crown

Among the first Americans to win
special renown In this event was
Johnny Garrels. Michigan's famous all
around athlete. who has starred as
football player. runner, hurdler and
weight thrower.
Next came Martin Sheridan, the
wonderful New York policeman, who
is master of every game, and is per-
haps one OF the greatest athletes this
country has ever known.
Similarly, a new sport was added to
those popular In this country when
from ancient statues some one got
the Idea OF hurting the javelin. This
graceful form of exercise, which re-
quires dexterity quite as much as
strength, is coming into some popu-
larity.

today had much to live for.
The polo game is one D. tne most
thrilling of the athletic scenes IN
bronze. 1t has all that charm OF ar
rested motion that never fails to stim-
ulate and hold. There is flash OF
electricity almost IN the two horses
and riders, side by side, battling for
possession of the ball, the equine par
ticipants seeming to enter into the
spirit OF the contest and lending their
riders all the aid they can.
The action has been caught and held
firmly for future ages by the art OF
the modeler. II is a fleeting instant
that in an actual game would only be
seen long enough to permit one sec
ond's thrill before it had been sue
ceeded by a dozen other exciting pic
lures.
The rider on the left of the group
has skillfully pushed his opponent out
of the play, and the horse Of the latter
has reared high in the air IN an effort
to get on it's feet.
There is also a figure OF a male
golfer that is strikingly filled with ac-
tton, the player being at the top OF his
swing and ready to drive the ball from

sleeves are rolled up for freedom OF
swing, he wears no coat, and every
thing about him points to carefully

the climax ready for the instant when
it will do the most good.
The artists of these memorials of
modern sport have been denied one
advantage that fell to those who pic
tured the athletic heroes Of ancient
Greece. There Is little chance to pic

There are three agricultural seasons
In Egypt. The land not having contin-
uous irrigation can take advantage of
but one. This begins the middle OF
October and ends with March.
Summer crops under irrigation are
grown between April and August; the
third season runs from August to Octo-
Der.
But the most unique feature of Egyp
tian irrigation comprises the various
water raising devices employed.
Most of the water used for irrigation
flows below the level of the land to be
irrigated, and thus these devices be-
come necessary.
The water raising devices are de-
signed to meet the fluctuations of the
water in river and canal, and while
not efficient they serve for the irriga-
ton Of very large areas.
Two Of the devices, known as the
"shaduf" and the "sakiyeh." respectively,
are used where the water fluctuations
are great, or where the lift is more
than five or six feet
These two devices are OF very ancient

the Nile country.
THE "shaduf' consists of two posts.
a cross bar. a balanced we'll sweep, q
bucket at one end of the sweep and a
counter weight at the other.
1t is erected on the bank of river or
canal and is operated by one man.
This individual lowers the bucket and
It is filled from river or canal as the
case may be.
Then the bucket is raised by the
force of the counter weight and emptied
into the diverting lateral.
In case the lift is very high two or
more "shadufs" are erected, one above
the other, after the manner of flight
of steps, and the water is lifted into
a series of basins or wells by successive
"shadufs," until it reaches the top.
A single ''shaduf" will lift water as
high as nine feet at cost of 60 cents
for a 10 hour day.
Each irrigation costs nearly $S per
acre.
A "shaduf" operated by one man can
raise about three cubic feet of water
per minute. A man operating "sha-
dur works at 1t two hours and then
is relieved by a shift.
Two men thus alternate during a 10
hour day, and as the fellah will work
for 10 cents per day. the wages of the
two men amount to 80 cents.
1t costs from SLAB to s2.92 to irri-
gate an acre with a single man "sha-
Sduf." according to the height the water
has to be raised, say from three to
nine feet.
To irrigate an acre where four "sha-
dufs" must be employed costs s17.S7
and that implies raising the water
about 80 feet.

IN undying marble ancient Greece has

Of her athletes.
Arrested at the climax OF their

ton that it had to be repeated later at
TIE Medicinal art club and the Macbeth
gallery.
The Greek statues are ranked among
the priceless relics OF the past. and 1t
is interesting to note that some OF
them. found after centuries, resulted In
the revival OF games that had all but
been forgotten.
For instance. the sport OF discus
throwing. now a great feature OF the
Olympic games. and an event in almost
every big outdoor athletic meet. had
passed into oblivion; many athletes had
never heard Of it. in fact, till some
classical scholar, coming across the an
Gent statue. was filed with curiosity to
see what the modern athlete could do
at this sport IN comparison with his
rival OF old.

IN California and other irrigated SEQ
tions Of the United States water for
irrigation, as q general thing. is
raised by means OF dams, and then
Is distributed over the land by force OF
gravity.
But this implies an inclination to the
surface Of the land. and the thing
could not be done If the land were per-
fectly level. as is most OF the land
IN the valley OF the Nile.
Then 1t would have TO be lifted
bodily to q sufficient height to permit
it TO flow over the land. There are
cases IN California where the water
has to be raised by force, and this is
done by means OF centrifugal pumps
run by steam or gas engines.
On the Nile. however, much more
primitive means are employed, and
some Of the devices date far back into
the ages OF antiquity.
Yet under English rule Egypt has
made some remarkable advances IN her
modes Of irrigation.
Great dams have been built across
the Nile and immense diverting canals
have been extended to the desert.
The total agricultural area OF Egypt
Is 100000 acres, aboat four times the
area OF the state OF Rhode Island.

Egypt Is the archimedean screw. This

The "sakiyeh" Is a more elaborate
piece OF machinery, yet Is used in Egypt
to about the same extent that the
"shaduf" is. About 10000 of them are
IN use in all the Nile country.
The principal parts consist of three
large clumsy wooden wheels. Two Of
these wheels are cogged; the third
carries the water buckets on its outer
rim.
One OF the cogged wheels is set hori-
zontally upon an upright shaft sunk
into the ground near the river or canal.

The shaft of the second wheel ex-
tends to the bank and carries on its
end the third wheel, which dips up the
water and delivers 1t into the lateral
canal.
To the horizontal wheel is hitched
an OK, which. travelling round and
round, sets the machinery described in
motion. This animal is relieved every
