WNW Rnrvtr* WORLD CULTURE AIDED BY GAMES Lasting Impression of Pythian Festivals. So much stress haR been placed upon t lie Olympic games that It Is common to think of Greek contests In the light of athletic prowess, but equally ?s Important as the Olympic contests were the old Pythian punes. which nave most of their attention to the arts and literature. The beginning of the names stretches hack into the realms of mythology and is credited to Apolto According to the ancient belief. Apol lo. flushed with his victory over th" snaky monster Python. Inaugurated the annual festivals. Thev were con ducted under the leadership of the Pclphlnns <?>r many years, hut nroun-1 tWO R. (\ they |>assed under the con trol of the Amphyctions. They were placed upon a four-year basi* nt tliis time and when given were employe 1 to honor Apollo. P.eeause they honored Apollo. the sweet singer of the Olympic gods, i' was natural that the first Pythian games should be. in reality, a contest of musicians. The festival continued as such for a long period, but about the time the Amphyctions assumed control, athletic contests, horse races and various competitions in art and literature were added, thus making of the festival not only a competition of culture, but a meeting of those not gifted in the arts of the day. The Pythian games, ns such, ended around the first of the Fifth century after the birth of Christ. Their in tluence has lived after them, how ever. for virions contests in the pres et.! day da'e hack to the Pythian games for their original inspiration. There are. for instance, the local and national contests for art and sculp ture. Artists from all over the world compete in the hig international dis plays to seek honors and prizes. In music the fame of the Welsh Kistedfod _Js world wide. At this meeting singers and choruses from many lands meet to compete in con tests, In which the various compet itors sing or perform the same com position before n group of skilled Judges. The young orators of the country, meeting in their regional contests, from which the winners advance to the national and then international contests, can look back to the Pythian games for the origin of their competi tion. Unlike the Olympic games, which have gradually readied out to em brace ?Tl types of sport and gn ther them under a single control, the Pythian games have been broken up and scattered into the various cate gories that originally were combined. Recause of the diversification, the origin of many of the modern con tests Is forgotten, but the Pythian games have had a more profound effect upon the culture of the world than the Olympic games have had upon the athletic. Electrocuting File* At Ira Ashcroft's Trlangle-A Ranch near Corona, a simple electrical de vice snuffs the life out of tlies faster than heads used to fall under the ax of royal executioners. It is a shal low steel box with a screen over the top, consisting of dozens of parallel wires placed so close together that a fly cannot plane through the screen to rea? h a saucer of milk in the box without touching two live wires and short-circuiting the current through Its body. Kvery time a fly makes n nose-dive through the screen, you see a tiny tlnsh and hear a click. As the box was plugged into an electric light socket near the milk house, it clicked continuously, thus showering flies irivo a drawer inside the box with monotonous regularity. This electric device certainly has the swatter beaten. ? Ransome Sutton. In the Los Angeles Times.
