Blanchard's trip to cloudland was
the first balloon ascension in Amer

followed by many other balloon
flights, so that the spectacle ceased
to be considered very much of q
novelty before the opening year OF
the Nineteenth Century.
Blanchard made several other as

nancial rewards were disappointing
to him. He would charge small
fee for admission to the inclosed

to be made.

THE JEWISH FLAG
HAS NO COUNTRY
Yet It's Oldest Banner
In History.
IT IS FLAG THAT FLUTTEREO
At Head Of the Great Host
That Marched Out
Of Egypt.
FOR LONG TIME KEPT HIDDEN

The banner of the Hebrew is pre-
served and cherished in the hops
that IL may one day wave over ma
tion. Two broad blue stripes on {
white ground and between them {
double triangle, also blue-the blue
stripes denoting the power of relig
ion and the double triangle national
unity-this is the flag of the Zion
lists.
IL is the flag that fluttered at the
head of the host that marched out
of Egypt and walked triumphantly
between the waters of the Red Sea,
and it is the flag destined to float
over the new Zion that is to be Gre
ated in Palestine.
Although the oldest Gag in histo-
ry. il is to-day without a country.
Since the day of its creation other
flags and other nations have come
into being and passed away into OBJ
livion, but the flag of the Hebrews,
a rag without country, still exists
and still recalls the unity and ma
tionalism that once was and still
urges the re-establishment of a
great nation by a people possessing
the requisites of greatness and ma
tionality.
In this day the blue and white
flag is seldom seen. Once a year
during the feast of the Purim it is
brought forth in the synagogues and
high tribute paid to it. but at other
times it is laid away.
And yet, although the flag is so
little in evidence, may it not be
partly due to it's existence that the
spirit of Zionism has been maintain
ed through so many years? Ever
since they were first exiled the Jews
have longed for their own kingdom.
Visionary men have at various
times planned for the reorganization
and re-establishment of the Jewish
nation, but their ideas seemed too
impracticable to be readily carried
out. Maurice de Sake, of Poland
thought that he would create Jew
ish State in South America and
make himself King. In 1919 w. d.
Robinson proposed the establish
ment of a Jewish settlement near
the upper part of the Mississippi
river. and there have been others.
Mordecai n. Noah was the most per-
;sistent of these. In 1918 he began
the work of stirring up his race to
migrate. to Palestine. His idea was
that they should first select a point
in America where a trial settlement
might be made and a preliminary
Government experimental in. This,
too. was a failure.
In 1871 this idea was taken up
again. Moses Hess and David Cor
don began to publish a series of pa
pers in which they pleaded for the
colonization of Palestine. Event
ually a society was formed known as
the Chovevi Zion. Hess wrote
books and articles, travelled about
the country speaking to various aud
