BAR HARBOR.

After being a fruitful source of dis
cussion and threatened litigation for
years. an amicable settlement has been
made between the Rodick Realty Co. and
Mrs. Charles B. Pineo regarding the
ownership Of Bar island by which settle
ment, the transfer being made Wednes-
day, the absolute ownership of four ifths
Of the island, comprising sixty acres is
now vested in Mrs. Pineo. 1t is now pro-
posed to dispose Of some portion OF the
island for cottage lots. The island has
been in possession of the Rodick family
for great many years, the first change in
ownership being made year ago when
Mrs. Slater purchased fifth part OF the
island from Mrs. E. B. Rodick. Mrs.
Slater has built q fine. bungalow on the is
land, and it is probable that this is but
the first Of a numberlof cottages that will
be built there in the scourse OF the next
few years. The chief owners propose to
put solid causeway across from the is
land to the village before very long.
Several parties have desired to purchase
lots on the island, and should they do so
it seems probable that another winter
will witness considerable building.

Enol.od.. National Color,

Why red should have been selected
as the national color becomes intel
Hgible when we look at the cross Of
St George. Sir Walter Scott, when he
wrote Of how their own sea hath
whelmed those red cross powers" was
merely anticipating the phrase of to-
day. But Oliver Cromwell. when for
the first time he put the English sol
der in red coat, probably did as
much as st. George to monopolize red
as the national color. The aggressive
color has, however. many meanings
and has lent itself to many uses. In
the days of the Romans when II
fiared on the head Of slave 1t stood
for freedom; in the days Of the French
revolution II stood for freedom backed
by blows, while in the streets of the
city today the red cross stands for
succor. So far back as the reign OF
Henry II. there was a red book of tbs
exchequer, a record Of the names of
all who held lands per baroniam."
and at this moment persons OF conse-
quence in the service Of the state find
their names entered in red book
