Show What a Famous City Lack. Athens, (, recce, tho only capital In Europe which cannot bo reached by rail, Is separated by several hundred miles from the European main railway rail-way system, of which Brlndlsl, Salonika Sa-lonika and Constantinople may be regarded re-garded as tho threo southern termini. A projected line from Athens to' Salonika Sa-lonika will bridge tho last gap In tho chain. Whcn"thls Is completed It will be possible to run through carriages from Calais to Athens and the Greek capital will be brought within three days of London. At present the quickest quick-est tranBlt Is flvo days, via Brlndlsl and Paris, which Involves a soa voyage voy-age almost as long as that between Brlndlsl and Egypt. |
