(THE TIMES TOUR OF THE
WORLDLY
ATHENS, Feb. 14.-"The glory
that was Greece" like the grand
eur that was Egypt as well as
Rome, is, from the purely material
standpoint, a glory that is past.
To see that glory one must be in
a certain state of mind, rather
than in any particular place. But
there remains still enough of the
material evidences of the glory of
Greece to give even the most I'M
imaginative person some inkling OF
what Athens was in its golden age.
The Parthenon, though in ruins,
remains the worlds most famous
building. The Tai MahaI may be
more splendidly beautiful, the
temples of Egypt more majestic.
but the Parthenon, in the grace of
sheer simplicity, stands supreme.
AT least most people think so.
The Parthenon crowns the hill
that the Attentions called 'sThe
Acropolis." Ii was built as tenn
pie dedicated to the worship of the
virgin goddess Athena, the patron
goddess of the city of Athens. 1t Is
the last word in Doric architecture.
Ictinus planned 1t and the great
Phidias designed the sculptures
that grace the building. Phidias
also made the long-lost but still
celebrated gold and ivory statue OF
Athena that stood within the
temple.

butter made from a cows milk is not

production. If the butter-maker leaves
20 per cent. of water in his butter the
cows record will show up much bet
ter than if he keeps the water down
to Is per cent. If we give cows rec
ords in terms of butter the amount of
moisture in the butter must also be
stated, whereas if given in terms of
butter fat the record is absolute, and
no analysis to determine moisture in
butter is necessary. The COW pro-
duces butter fat; man makes butter
out of it. 1t is the cows product and
not what somebody makes out Of it
that should be credited to the COW.
But our correspondent wants to know
how much butter COW gives. If the
butter is properly made the amount of
fat will be about ive-sixths of the
