FlOGGED THE FAT MEN.
Spartan Cure For Those Who Grew
Too Stout For Military Duty.

Among the ancient Spartans every
thing was considered secondary to mill
tary efficiency. and with a view to Sc
curing this the boys and men were by
law kept in continual state of train.
ing" No deformed child was allowed
to live. Boys were taken from their
homes and subjected to military regu
lations at the age of seven. They were
compelled to wear the same single gar
ment winter and summer. At twenty
they joined the ranks and from that
age till they reached sixty were re-
quired to dine at the public tables,
where only a certain quantity was sup
piled for each man. The magistrates
interfered in absurdly small matters.
They regulated the degree of fairness to
which it was lawful for any citizen to
extend his body.
Those who dared to grow too fat or
too soft for military service and exer-
else were sometimes soundly logged
Aelian in his history relates that
Nauclls. son of Polytus, was brought
before the ephors ,magistrates) and the
whole assembly OF Sparta, and Ibis
unlawful fairness" was publicly exposed
and he was threatened with perpetua
Punishment if he did not bring bill

pass and give up the culpabIe mode o.
living. which was declared to be mor'
worthy of an Ionian than Spartan.

heavenly bodies. The operation of find
ing the latitude and longitude of OBJ

Der OF ways OF which the simplest and
most convenient is by measuring the
altitude of the sun above the horizon
at noon. as is indicated on the vernier
of the sextant and spoken of at sea as
shooting the sun" An arithmetical
computation by the aid OF logarithms
is thus quickly made which shows ex-
actly how far the ship is north or south
of the equator. or, in other words, the
latitude.
Finding the longitude, however, is a
somewhat longer process. An observa-
ton Is made either In the forenoon or
afternoon, the chronometer time of the
horizon contact OF the suns image be-
ing noted A calculation is then made
which gives the exact time at the spot
where the ship happens to be, and, as
the chronometer carried aboard shows
the exact time ut Greenwich. the prime
meridian of longitude. the difference
between the two expresses In hours and
minutes teasily convertible into degrees

these skins was established in this way:
The Emperor Gu TT, being In want OF
money. gave his treasurer to under
stand that such state OF affairs must
not continue. At that time 1t was Gus
tomary for princes and courtiers on en-
tering the royal presence to cover their
faces with pieces OF skin. Taking ad-
vantage OF this custom. the treasurer
procured the issuance Of a decree for
bidding the use of any other skins for
this purpose save those OF certain spe-
cies OF white deer in the royal parks.
Immediately. of course. there arose a
demand for pieces OF these skins.
