three or four mud huts, we enter the
famous desert of Islay, on which are

natural curiosities to be seen on this

experienced detective. "Fhele are no

The flag and coat of arms Of the
United States are not quite century
and a quarter old. But although the
banner represents the youngest of the
great nations il is nevertheless one of
the most venerable among the nation
al standards. IL was adopted by con-
gress on June. IA, 1777, and is there
fore older than any of the flags of the
principal European governments
namely, that of France, adopted in
1874; Spain, 1855; the German empire,
in 1870; Italy, in 1913; Portugal, in
1880, and that of Great Britain, which
merely dates from 1901.
It has frequently been asserted that
the nation is indebted to an English
baronet for the suggestion of the de-
vice which has been adopted as it's
national coat of arms. The story is
that Sir John Prestwich, Bart, claim
ed that he suggested the coat of arms
for the American states to an ambas-
sador from there. which the states
have put upon some of their moneys.
1t is this: Party per pale of thirteen
stripes, white and red, the chief of
the escutcheon blue, signifying the
protection OF heaven over the states,
which so pleased the Americans that
1t was soon after adopted as the arms
of the states" Prestwich was a
Lancashire gentleman and an antiqu-
uary Of some note. He was partic-
ular friend of John Adams and there
is no doubt that he had the opportun-
ity of suggesting the device. 1t is

sat down and did hard thinking act.
The results reached in her mind were
evident. The family she had trusted,
the family she had attended prayers
with so long, had deprived her of her
beloved Kittens. And the old cat
plainly made up her mind that she
would no longer have spiritual inter-
course with family guilty Of such a
misdeed
That evening when the time came
for family prayers the good cat was
missing After a search she was found,
brought into the room, and placed on
her accustomed cushion. But no
prayers for her. She simply looked
around the family circle in a scornful
manner, and then, with erect tail and
indignant mien walked out of the
room. Since then neither brides nor
persuasion has awaited TO make her
attend the family prayers.

Downfall Of the a@.
ssk Minister'S PET C CT

The family OF Brooklyn minister
are mourning the moral downfall of
their pet cat. Once it was a cat TO
be admired and trusted, a cat which
set an example to the neighboring
Toms and Tables of the ways which
righteous cat should follow. Now it
has all the faults of ordinary cathood
and more, too-as if striving to make
up for lost time. And it was the death
OF her promising family OF kittens
which led to this regrettable change
in the pet cats spiritual nature.
Formerly one of the most admired
characteristics of the pet cat was her
regular attendance at family prayers,
which were held just after the family's
evening meal, at the appointed time
the good cat would march into the
room, take her position on a cushion
provided for her, and give respectful
attention during prayer time. The
children of the family insisted that
she understood all that was said.
While this would perhaps be an exag.
geration, 1t is certain that the cat
maintained a respectful and attentive
demeanor which would have been a
lesson to many frivolous boys and
girls. No matter how hungry she
might be, the pet cat would not touch
the food set aside for her until the
family prayers had been duly conclud-
ed.
"A short time ago the cat became
the mother of several plump and prom
ising kittens. She was inordinately
proud N them. Such kittens, to her
mind, had never before been born in
Brooklyn or elsewhere. But the fam
lily did not share her enthusiasm.
They considered that one cat in the
house was enough. The result was
that the kittens painlessly went the
way of superfluous kittens.

although 1t is generally believed that
the whirling eddies hereabouts are re-
sponsible; some, however, argue that
such is not the case, since each one
of these crescents has an opening
toward the northeast. At any rate,
the inner circle is an almost perpen-
dicular wall, of the finest pure white
sand and from the upper edges the
crescents slope gradually away on the
outside. They average about twenty
feet in height. the inner circle having
a diameter of some ffty-feet. although
have seen one at least mile and a
half in diameter, which was, however,
not much higher than the average.
These crescents move, it is estimated,
at the rate of three inches every TWEEN
ty-four hours; and when, on the slow
journey, one cones near the railroad,
it becomes necessary to shovel the
sand across the tracks, after which it
travels on, forming new erescents or

Origin of American Flag

from the Lancashire family of Wash
ingtons that the first president OF
the United States was descended and
it is plausible to presume that Prest-
witch would naturally wish to connect
the armorial bearings of the new gov
eminent with the escutcheons OF the
Washingtons of Lancashire.
Benson J. Losing, however, posi-
lively declined to believe that the
arms OF the flag were suggested by
the heraldry of Washington. LOSING
writes: eff they were suggested by
anything then existing l think it may
have been the flag of the East In
dian company, with which the colon
lists, in seaports especially, were IA
miliar." This flag as early as 1904 was
composed Of thirteen horizontal
tripes, alternate red and white, with
the red cross of st. George on the
white canton in the corner. The colon
lists used this number and kind Of
stripes to denote union nearly two
years before the stars appeared on the
flag. The union flag, hoisted over the
American camp at Cambridge Jan. /,
1916, was composed of thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white, with the Brit
ish union in one corner 1t was not
until June IA, 1777, that the conti-
mental congress resolved that the flag
of the United States be thirteen
stripes, red and white alternate, and
that the union be thirteen stars
