The Christians refer all time to the
Vcinnlng of the Christian era. *o the
Mohammedans to the flight of their
prophet nnd Itomans to the rear of the
founding of their city. But the Greek
historians nseil to speak Uke thla:
"Thla battle was fonirbt in the fonrtt
rear of that Olympiad In which Eiiryb
otus, the Athenian, won the prlxe In
the course " While a war mltrht he for
gotten. an Olympiad would never be.
Those who were victors were ac
corded the most extravagant honors
Their enthusiastic countrymen would
escort them home with unlwunded de
light. and they were given the highest
scats of honor at every public festiv
ity. Poets of the highest merit sang
their praise. The cities In which they
resided erected statues to their honor.
It Is not surprising that, when victo
ry meant so much, dishonorable
means were sometimes employed to
secure It Ev<*ry attempt, however,
was made to prevent foql play, and as
unfairness was regarded as sacrilege,
the games l>eing religious ceremonies.
t!ie guilty ones were not only con
demned by all tliose whose praise they
sought, but they were subjected be
sides to heavy penalties in money and
often scourged as well.
It does not seem, however, that de
liberate wounding of an adversary In a
contest was much deprecated, since
I'ausanias mentions one man who.
thouch an inferior wrestler, won sev
eral contests by breaking the fingers
of bis antagonist, bnt he who killed his
"PI<onent lost the prlte. and the dead
body was crowned victor
The cause of the decay of the game
was that the glory ?nd Ihe substantial
rewards which followed victory final
ly became too great At last there
liecame classes of men who did noth
ing else bul prepare for the games, and
contending became a profession. Kings
and nobles then withdrew, and their
example was followed by the better
class of Greek youth, wilh the result
that the games were finally neglected
until, when they were prohibited by an
edict by the Emperor Theodoslns. In
A. P. few people objected to their
loss.
long before thla the games had be
come notorious by their brutality, and
foreigners were allowed to compete.
Bribery was frequent, and the Roman
Emperor Nero on one occasion w*s per
milted to take every prlae offered ? St.

write* a contributor to Railway and
Locomot-'ve Engineering. "I boarded
at a bouse much frequented by loco- !
motive engineers and firemen. Th<>s?
men talked a (.Teat deal about their tre- .
mendous feats In getting over certain j
hills wlthont tbe help of a second loco- ;
motive.
"My opposite neighbor at table, a
young fellow who ran a lathe In the
shop, grew tired of this monotonous
bragging; he tbongbt he was entitled
to do a little talking himself. One
evening he called out to me:
" "Weil. I went over and saw that
new machine today, and It's astonish
ing the fine work It does.'
" 'flow does It work 7 I Inquired.
" 'Wall,' said James. *by means of a
pedal attachment a fulcra med lever
converts the vertical reciprocating
motion Into a circular movement
The principal part of the machine la a
hnge disk that revolves In a vertical
plane. Power la applied through tbe
axis of the disk. and when the speed j
of the driving arhor Is moderate tbe I
periphery of the apparatus Is traveling
at a high velocity. Work Is done on
this periphery. Pieces of tbe hardest
steel are by mere Impact reduced to
any shape tbe skilfnl operator desires.'
" 'What In the name of sense Is that
machine, anyway? demanded Tom ?
Brigga.
" 'Oh, It's a new grindstone.' replied j
James, and a silence that could be cut j
with a butter knife fell upon the
crowd." , ? ?
