DOUBLE EAGLE.
As 1t Appeared on the Arms OF Russia
and Austria.
Ito be contlnued.)

As It Appeared on tho Arms OF Russia
and Austria,
The eagle, as an emblem Of authori-
ty, Is so old that 1t would be impossible
to clearly trace Its origin. 1t ia found
upon the most ancient sculptures that
have yet been discovered, and was no
doubt one Of the very Oldest OF the to-
TENS, or tribe signs. The early Per-
sian empire appears to be the first
which adopted 1t as an imperial en-
blOm. Among the Greeks the eagle
was the emblem Of Jove. The Romans
also adopted the eagle as their stand
ard, and 60 1t became the token OF Ro-
man dominion. When Constantine be-
came emperor he adopted the double
headed eagle as the Insignia Of his
authority over east and west. When
the German empire came into being In
the twelfth century this emblem was
revived as being that OF the Holy Ro-
man empire, and Rudolph OF Hapsburg
adopted 1t as his imperial arms. 1t APP
peared in the Russian imperial arms In
the sixteenth century, when Gar Ivan
Basilovitch married Princess Sophia,
niece OF the eleventh Constantine. and
the last Of the Byzantine emperors.
