THE CAP OF LIBERTY.

How the Emblem Originated and Its
Specification in Various Countries.
The liberty cap is of Phrygian origin.
The Phrygians were people from the
shores of the Euxine Sea, and they con-
quered and took possession of the en-
tire eastern part of Asia Minor. To
distinguish themselves from the
natives, the conquerors wore close
fitting caps and had it stamped on
their coins. The Romans took the
fashion of wearing caps from the Phry-
gians, but they were only worn by
freedmen. When a slave was set free
red cap, called the pilens. was put
on his head, and this was token OF his
manumission. When Saturanius took
the capital in the year 1858. he had a
spear as promise of liberty
to all slaves who would join
him. Marius tried the same expedient
to incite the slaves to take arms with
him against Sylla. When Caesar was
murdered the consprators carried
cap on spear as token of the liberty
of Rome. and a medal was struck with
the same device on this occasion, which
is still extant. The statue of the God
dess of Liberty on the Aventine Hill
carried in her hand a cap as an emblem
of freedom. In England the same SYM
boil was adopted. and Britannia was
pictured carrying the cap on spear.
it was first used in this country as one
of the devices on the flag of the Phila-
delphia Light Horse Guards, COM
pany of militia organized some time
PRIOR to the Revolution. August 31st,
1875, the Committee OF Safety,
at Philadelphia, passed a resolu-
ton providing seal for the use
of the board, ct be engraved with
cap of liberty and the motto. This is
my right. and 1 will defend it. Dur
ing the French revolution the Jacobins
made much use of this emblem. and it
is sometimes supposed that this coun-
try took it from France, but this Ideals
an erroneous one. The symbol was not
used in France until 1890, whereas in
this country It was not only used much
earlier in the instances we have men,
toned, but was also put on American
coins in 1888. The Jacobn cap of
France was red. The British liberty
was blue with a white border. The
American is blue with a border of gilt
stars on white.-St. Louis usobe- Demo.

that was first discovered by company
of astronomers who were studying the

these involuntary motions of the earth.
These tremblings are too feeble to be-
noticed by the senses, but the instru-
ments employed show that the move
ments are constant and not regular.
M. Daubree, French savant, accounts
for earthquakes, volcanic eruptions
and the constant tremors of the earth s
surface to single cause, to-wit, super
heated steam. The waters of the earth
fall into the molten material at the in
terror of the earth-steam is produced
and tn steam is superheated, develop
ing such enormous power as to cause
the violent eruptions and earthquakes
which in times past have rent
the earth. Other scientists have
held that the gradual shrinking
of the earth's crust and the conse-
quent contraction from loss of heat
will account not only for earthquakes
but for the upheavels of mountains and
the appearance OF valleys and depres-
sions. Perhaps both causes may be at
work; but NJ. Daubree's belief that
superheated steam is the one cause of
the tremulous motions has many adj
herents. When on a steamer we are
conscious of a pulsation, as it were,
made by steam, but this tremulousness
is regular, while the vibrations of the
crust of the earth are irregular; hence
it is surmised that the earth imme-
diately under us is great steam boiler

some port ons of the earth it is known
there is constant connection between
the water of the surface and the in

springs in numberless places on the

boiling water covered with a thin crust
of earth. From certain vents come out
highly mineralized hot water of great
medicinal value. These hot springs
have been known to exist since
the seventh century, and it is
believed there has been no
material change in the character of the
water. 1t is known there has not been
any for five hundred years. Should
the vents at this place be closed up for
any cause. it would result in a violent
explosion and the people of Carlsbad
