So he masses his statistics and gives Norway first place, Finland second place and the United States thirteenth hole. His method is to take the number of |x>ints won by any country along with the population and thence deduce the rank. He seems to find that the rank coincides with the thermometer. He fails to consider the distance traveled. He makes no allowance for any peculiar conditions o f times and methods of selection. Like most statistics his findings are somewhat debatable. His principle seems to be that soft countries make soft men, ..This nmkva a gvud aplioriam; but the queatiwi is, is it true! . ' • • * . He does not seem to appreciate the fact that the Greek athlete*. who originated the Olympic games, had a genial clime. The young Greeks were as gods in physical Inflection. The Roman gladiators had few equals. Wild beasts were their prey. The Norsemen of that day were brought down for exhibition purposes and the Romans’ play. •Then some one arises and says that the great hooka find works of art /»re produced north of a certain latitude. They worship degrees of latitude. But again it lias to be said that the classics came from the soft countries. And the first civilization sprang up nnder tropic skies.
