When you are trying to help a child

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.
