FRENCH AND GERMAN C0LORS
Supposed Origin Of the 1rieoIor and
the 1euton Flag.

Supposed Origin Of the TrieoIer and
the Teuton Flag.
For Eve centuries black and white
have been the Hohenzollern colors, and
the first verse of the German war song.
Itch bin Elm Preusse." is: 81.
I am a Prussian! Know ye not my ban
Before me floats my flag of black and
white!
My fathers died for freedom; twas their
manner
So say these colors floating in your
sight
The mercantile marine tricolor Of
black. white and red Is emblematic Of
the joining of the Hohenzollern black
and white with the red and white.
which was the ensign Of the Hanseatic
league. This flag came into being
when the North German Confederacy
was established. Nov. Is, 1867. at the
close of the Austro-P russian war. The
red and white represent the CONNER
cial prosperity of the nation, while the
black and white symbolic the strong
arm Of the state prepared to protest
and foster it.
Nowhere have historical events caus-
ed so much change in the standards
and national ensisns of country as in
France. The oriflamme and the chape
de St. Martin were succeeded at the
end Of the sixteenth century. when
Henry ILL.,, the last of the house Of
Valois. came to the throne, by the
white standard powdered feur-de-lis.
That in turn gave place to the famous
tricolor which was introduced at the
time Of the revolution, but the origin
Of that flag and its colors is a disputed
question. Some maintain that the in
tention was to combine in the flag the
blue Of the chape de St Martin, the
red of the oriflamme and the white flag
Of the Bourbons. By others the colors
are said to be those Of the city of Paris.
Yet again other authorities assert that
the flag is copied from the shield OF
the Orleans family as it appeared after
Philippe Egalite had knocked off the
f1eur- de-lis.-Kansas City Star.

In medieval times falconry was ex-

known by the species of hawk he was
using-for a king the ger-falcon, for a
prince the falcon-gentle, for duke the

Mysterious Currents, the Secrets o.

mysterious NUFrentS, tne oeCTeSS OF
Which No One Has Solved.
There are as many vagaries in the
waters as in the winds. Why, for in
stance, should great ocean currents
send their warm waters across the
wide Pacific and Atlantic? Other and
equally mysterious currents exist in
we'll nigh all parts Of the world.
1t is on record that the sea has run
for weeks out Of the Java sea, through
the strait of Sunda and thence back
again for a like period without any
perceptible rise and fall during those
times.
Then there is the equatorial current
that flows into the Caribbean sea. the
ever flowing current to the eastward
around Cape Horn, the cold stream
flowing from the icy regions of the
north past Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia and along the American coast
to the extreme end of Florida, the
continual current running with a We
locity of from four to five knots an
hour through the strait of Gibraltar
into the Mediterranean sea, the swift
current running across the rocks and
shoals off the end of Billion island.
which apparently starts from nowhere
and ends somewhere in the vicinity of
the same place. and the current which,
starting halfway up the China sea.
runs from two to three knots an hour
to the northeast and finally ends abb

Had to Swallow Many Things.

An amusing anecdote is related Of
the late Hungarian statesman Tisza,
who when one day dining at the Hof-
burg with the Austrian emperor placed
q large pear upon his plate at dessert.
The emperor remarked to his minis
ter that cold fruit after hot dinner
was injurious to the digestion.
Tisza replied. THE stomach Of
Hungarian premier, your majesty, is
obliged to be strong one."

ONE MAN BASEBALL.
Tho Game as Il Might Be Played on

The Game as It Might Be Played on
One Of Mars Moons.
According to Professor F. r. Moulton
Of the University of Chicago. one man
is all that would be required to play
q baseball game on Phobos, one Of the
two moons of Mars. provided the man
could live in place without atmos-
phere. Professor Moulton described
the manner of play in addressing q
church society on the "Earthlike Plan
ets."
"Our one man team would first take
the position Of pitcher" he said, "and
throw the ball horizontally. The ball
would go all the way around the moon.
He would then have time to get bat
and strike at it. If he missed It he
could take his three strikes. then put
on his mask, gloves and chest pro-
tector and catch himself out when the
ball came around the fourth time.
I'm case he hit the ball and it bound
ed he could play the part of an intield-
er by picking the ball up as it came
bounding around the moon. He then
could throw to first and catch himself
out on the base as the ball came around
again. If he hit a fly in place OF
grounder he might draw on his glove
and. playing the part of the center field
er, catch himself out A strong batter
might make home run. This would
mean that he struck the ball so hard
that it went beyond the attraction OF
this moon and struck on the planet
Mars. 1t would be what we call over
