Ing out broad shallow stream beds.
But then the country rose more rapid

channels in the rocks in order to get
out and away to sea. Owing In part
to the wear of the water itself but
more to the ceaseless bombardment of
the suspended sand which it bore from
the up country, or picked up as 1t went
along, and to the thump of pebbles

flood time, the river kept cutting down

There is now only vapor; sulphurous

At one side small cone stands up
that burns with an eye of red fire. From
time to time this opening spits out to
one side little vicious blotch of fire.

The Flag In DeCora ton

Writing of "Civic Festivals and Pro
cessions," in the Century, Charles Il.
Lamb says on the subject of the flag in
decoration:
1.-THE Stars and Stripes, though not the
most successful piece of decoration, can
still be so treated as successfully to COM
bine with any scheme; but TO do this it
should be massed over doorways or
stands, or, II used separately. should be
hung repetitively from the windows along
the entire line of parade, preferably on
one of the upper stories, so as to give a
continuous line of red, white and blue
from house TO house.
"The American flag Is not impossible
OF successful treatment; we have already
begun TO initiate the French manner of
raging small flags In an upright position
from common base, and repeating these
groups at intervals; but the tricolor bunt-
ing Is one OF the most difficult to use sat
isfactorily, because the equal proportion
of red to blue is not q fortunate color
combination. 1t would therefore be ad-
visable that the committee in charge
should select those symbolic colors which
would be appropriate, and use them In
such quantity as would give a definite
color scheme to the entire line. The sug-
gestion made by the National Society of
Mural Painters that the naval colors,
blue and white, reinforced with gold and
natural green foliage, should be used in
the Dewey reception parade was proba-
bly the first recognition given of the ne
cessity of other colors than the patriotic
red. white and blue"
