Britein's Flags.

Before the crowns OF England and
Scotland were united under James
l, Gays the Scottish American, the
flag carried by the English ships was
white, with the red cross of st.
George emblazoned on it, while that
hoisted upon Scottish ships was
blue, with the cross of St. Andrew
on it, the red lines OF the English
flags being perpendicular and hori-
zontal, and those of the Scottish
flag being diagonal. Owing to some
misunderstanding between the ships
of the two nations, the King ordered
"that new flag should be adopted,
having the cross of ST. George inter
laced with that of St Andrew on
the blue ground Of the flag Of Scot
land" All English ships were to
display the red cross of St. George,
and Scottish ships that OF St. Andrew
at their sterns. On April IL, in the
year 1906, the Union Jack was first
hoisted at sea, but it was not until
the Parliamentary Union of the two
countries, in the year 1907, that it
was adopted as the military flag of
Great Britain.

A Curious Discovery.

A discovery which has taken place
10 Paris apparently throws some
light on the "Parc aux Cerfs" OF
Louis XIV. OF France, the site of
which has up to the present been
doubtful. A Paris architect, named
Triboulet, who is experimenting
the construction Of houses in Rue de
la Pepiniere, which formerly formed
portion of the Royal domains, has
discovered trench u yards long
and 5 yards wide, and OF depth at
present unknown. This trench is
filed with the skeletons of deer,
which have been packed AZ metho-
Ideally and closely as sardines in a
tin, the head OF each alternate skele-
ton being placed towards the tail Of
tho next. The horns have been re-
moved, but with that exception the
skeletons are perfect. Each row is
separated with a layer of lime.
Perfect casts Of the heads are to be
found in this lime layer. This curious
discovery is now being investigated
by the archie )logists of Paris

We we're rather pleased down our

that it is feared down here that you

set A short while ago two men
were killed and not a living soul to
blame. The other night one of the
cylinders OF an engine went on
"bust' at Pearl City, and the pas
sengers had to foot it to the PENN
suls. This morning switch rail in
the Honolulu yard refused active
service, and the driving wheel Of the
engine was resting on the ground.

expected to take much interest in
