The origin of the device of the eagle on
national and royal banners NAV be traced
to very early times. 1t was the ensign OF
the ancient Kings of Persia and of Baby
lon The Romans adopted various other
figures on their camp standards but Ma
Iinus, b. {. 1872 made the eagle alone the
ensign of the legions, and confined the
other figures to the cohorts
From the Romans, the French, under the
Empire, adopted the eagle. The Emperors
OF the Western Roman Empire used a
black eagle; those of the East a golden
one.
The sign of the golden eagle, met with
in taverns, is in allusion to the Emperors
of the East. Since the time of the Romans
almost every State that has assumed the
designation of an empire has taken the
eagle for an ensign Austria Russia, Prus-
sia, Poland and France all took the eagle
The two-headed eagle signifies a double
empire. The Emperors of Austria, who
claim to be considered the successors OF
Rome, use the double-headed eagle, which
is the eagle of the Eastern Emperors with
that Of the Western, typifying the "Holy
Roman Empire" of which the Emperors
of Germany now merged in the house of
Austria) considered themselves as the
representatives. Charlgmagne was the
first to use it, for when he became master
of the whole German empire, he added
the second head to the eagle, A. ID. S52, to
denote that the empire of Rome and Ger
many were united in him.
As it is among birds the king, and being
the emblem of a noble nature, from its
strength of wing and eye, and its courage
as also of conscious strength and innate
power, the eagle has been universally pre-
ferred as the continental emblem of SOW.
ereignty.
The United states adopted the eagle or
coins. but not on the national flag, although
it appears on The revenue flag.

Bic FREsH-wATER EELs.-Of fresh-water
eels as apart from their mighty cousin the
conger, there are three distinct kinds-the
sharD-nosed eel, the broad-nosed or frog
mouthed eel, and the snig. OF these three,
the sharp-nosed eel is both the largest fish
and the best eating, though some prefer the
snlg- eel as having superior flavor. The
snig, however, in spite of its excellence, has
not the same value as the sharp nosed eel
for it seldom, if ever, attains more than
half pound in weight. The sharp-nosed
eel, on the contrary. attains an enormous
size. One on record that was taken in the
Medway, not far from Rochester, weighed
thirty-four pounds, measured six feet in
length, and had a girth of twenty-five
inches. Another eel, taken in Kent, weighed
forty pounds and measured five feet nine
inches. Yarnell speaks of having seen at
Cambridge the preserved skins of two
which had weighed together fifty pounds
the heaTiest twenty-seven pounds, the
other twentythree pounds. But these in
stances, though not to be regarded as apo
cryphal, are still very exceptional; and q
| very fair average weight for sharp-noseo
eels is six pounds. Eels of even ten pounds
weight are not common, and Frank Buck-
land speaks of one that size as being the
largest he had ever seen.-PoPutar Science

AN INGENIOUS DEvIcE.-Cornelius Spill
lane, an engineer of Chicago, mas invented
device for teiephoning between moving
trans and railway stations. The invention
Is, to all appearances very simple affair,
consisting of circuit wire resting on an
insulated slab between the railway tracks.
On the wire rests g circuit rod made of a
strip of metal, having attached to it a NOV
able metal roller, making continuous
connection to all stations and all trains on
the line. The return circuit is gained by
means of the rail, wheel, axle and up
through the framework of the engineers
cap to telephone. A wire runs through the
train connecting all the cars. so that con-
versation can be kept up from all parts of
the train to all stations on the road, and
between all other trains on the line Mr..
Spillane thinks the adoption of his device
would render needless the employment of
telegraph operators at railway stations. and
would afford direct means of communica-
ton between any one train and all other
points, SO that in the event OF an accident
the intelligence would be promptly COM
muniGated and relief summoned. It would
also, he gays, prove check on train Eob-
bers. ErchsInge.

Earliest Methods Of Measurlnc Time.


The story is that King Alfred had nc
better way to tell the time than by burning
twelve candles, each of which lasted two
hours and, when all the twelve were gone
another day had passed. Long before the
time of Alfred, and long before the time oi
Christ, the shadow Of the sun told the hour
OF the day, by means of a sun-dial The
old Chaldeans so placed hollow hem
isphere, with bead in the center, that the
shadow of the bead on the inner surface
told the hour of the day. Other kinds OF
dials were afterwards made with tablet OF
wood or straight piece of metal On the
tablets were marked the different hours.
When the shadow came to the mark TX.
it was 8 o'clock in the morning
The dial was sometimes placed
near the ground, or in towers or build
ings. You see in the picture two sun
dials that are on the Gray and Black Nun
merry in Ottawa, the capital of Canada The
old clock on the eastern end of Faneuil
Hall, in Boston, was formerly dial of
this kind; and on some of the old church.
towers in England you may see them to-
day. Aside from the kinds mentioned,
the dials now in existence are intended
more for ornament than for use. In the
days when dials were used each one con-
tained motto of some kind, like these :
no hours but those that are happy"
But the dial could be used only in the
daytime; and, even then, it was worthless
when the sun was covered with clouds. In
order TO measure the hours of the night as
well as the hours of the day. the Greeks
and Romans used the clepsydra, which
means, The water steals away" A large jar
was filled with water and hole was made
in the bottom through which the water
could run. The glass, in those days, was
not transparent. No one could see from
the outside how much water had escaped.
So there were made, ON the inside, certain
marks that told hours as the water ran out :;
or else q stick with notches in the edge
dipped into the water, and the depth OF
what was left showed the hour Some
times the water dropped into another lar
in which block of wood was floating the
block rising as the hours went on. Once
in while some very rich man had a clep-
sydra that sounded musical note at every
hour.-Ffederic q. Natier, IN Popular Science
