THE New York Sun contributes
some interesting facts concerning the
history eff the national flag, sold
Glory" On the 18th of June the flag
was III years old for on June IA.
17T7, Congress resolved that the flag
of the thirteen United States should
be thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white, and that the union be blue
field, with thirteen white stars to be
arranged in a circle, indicating "new
constellation" among the nations of
the earth, the idea of the flag being
that each star and each stripe should
represent one of the original thirteen
States. In 1894, on the admission of
Kentucky and Vermont into the
Union, the flag was made with fifteen
stars and fifteen stripes, but July 4,
1918, it was changed so that there
should be the original thirteen stripes,
while new star was TO be added for
each new State. The Sun adds, the
flag is colder than the majority of
the flags of Europe flying today. The
flag Of Great Britain was adopted in
1901, or "a years after that of the
United States. The flag of Spain was
adopted in 1885, while the tri-color of
France, also the red, white and blue,
took form in 1884 The flag of Portu-
gal was adopted in 1880, that of Italy
in 1S4S, and that of the German en-
pire in 1871, so that the starry ban
ner of the United States may we'll be
called the 'Old' flag" And, although
the red flag of England is popularity
regarded as having borrowed its hue
from the blood of the thousands who
have fallen in battle under it's folds. it
is in evidence that cold GLORY" has
gone through more battles on sea and
on land and floated over more men
sacrificed on field and main than anv
other flag floating in these modern
times-The News.

Commissioners of Boards Thought to be
 Doing Work for the City.
 It Is very probable that at the meeting of the board of aldermen tonight res- olution will be offered calling for the ap- pointment of n committee to investigate into the question whether or not the commissioners of the various boards are engaged in doing work for the city un- der other than their own names.
 The board of finance at n meeting the other day refused to pay one commis- sioner's bill on the ground that the charter expressly prohibits commission CTS from doing work or furnishing ma terIals for the city. At the meeting 1t was intimated that certain commis- sioners were doing work for the city un- der other than their own names. and the coming investigation will be in the line of discovering this fact.

DISPLAY OF ELECTRICITY.


 Guard Wire is Broken and Drops on the Trolley Wire.
 People on Church and Chapel streets about 7:30 o'clock Saturday evening
 were treated to an electrical display. A
 Winchester avenue electric car had just
 started up the Chapel street hill to- ward College street when in some man. ner the trolley of the car dropped off and struck the wire above, known as the guard wire. breaking 1t. This all lowed the guard wire to drop down on the trolley, and as 1t swayed back and forth the two wires came in frequent contact Each time they came together there was a flash of light. and as the vibrations kept up all along the line to Church street the flashes followed each other in rapid succession. It only took few contacts to burn the guard wire in two, and a few minutes after the first flash were seen there the wire parted.
 This allowed the ends to drop to the ground and in doing so they rested par tially upon the trolley wire. The wire then becoming charged with the current sprang into a bleze, the wire being con- sumed like flash of powder, snapping and cracking like fireworks. The cur rent was carried to the supporting wires and they also were burned up in a flash, the current making quick work of them.
 Finally word was sent to the power house in West Haven and the cur rent was turned off, when the motor- men climbed upon their cars and clear ed the wreckage overhead by cutting off the ends of the broken wires. This &C., complished, the current was again turned on, and the running of cars was resumed. The damage was small, as all that was injured was the guard wires, and these can be replaced with but small cost.
