1866 for the blue field Of the Dag.
known as the Union Jack, to be placed
on the main when the President was
aboard the ship. and all other flags
were struck till the President left the
vessel. ...
Congress has never legislated on the
Presidents nag. Il was established
arbitrarily BY the Secretary Of the
Navy, and presumably the changes
made in the device upon the always
blue field have been made at the Sug-
gestion Of the President.

oueeasland's Destructive Drought.
The long drought in Queensland is
stiIl causing immense loss to farmers,
and the cattle for want Of water and
grass are dying on in their thousands.
The number Of sheep has dropped
from 22,OO0. 900 to 5000. 900. and that
Of cattle from between 7,O00,0 900 and
8,000,000 70 100000.
There Is at present a large demand
for frozen meat IN Pretoria, Kimber-
ley and CapetoFn, but Queensland Is
unable 20 meet the demands. The ef-
feet % the drought must also be felt
In England; since the price Of frozen
meat WIN 60 up.
Inquiries e the Queensland govern.
ment agency showed that this Is the
most seIlo1s drought since the colony
vas established. The cost to the farm

The hounds mentioned by Mrs. HaT-

81 the southern states, were cross

hound, with q blending Of mastiR,

These dogs were first known IN the

eighteenth century, when q number
were imported, probably from Spain,
for the purpose Of suppressing the
Maroon instruction, but the natives
were 30 inspired with terror at FIRST
sight Of the animals that Il was found
unnecessary to make use Of them.

There was q long discussion over the

were appointed q committee to pre-

So many designs Of merit were sub

Jefferson TO combine the various ideas
IN one design, which he tried to do,
and on August 10. 1776, presented this
compact seal TO the congress.
Congress laid Il on the table, and Il
