EAGLE ALWAYS AN EMBLEM
From NEUROLOGICAL Times the Monarch
of the Air Has Been Chosen as
Representative of Power.

In mythology the eagle usually rep.
resents the sun. The great mythical
eagle of India, the Garuda, is the
bearer Of the god ViShnu, victorious
by his brightness over all demons. In
Scandinavian mythology the eagle Is n
gloomy figure, assumed by demons of
darkness or by Odin himself, con-
cealed In the gloomy night or In wind
swept clouds. The storm giant Hras-
weigr sits In the form of an eagle at
the extremity OF heaven and blows
blasts over all people and on the great
tree Yggdrasil sits an eagle observing
everything that happens. When Zeus
was preparing for his struggle with
the Titans the eagle brought him a
thunderbolt whereupon the god took
the bird for his emblem. 1t naturally
became the emblem OF nations after
Its long use In mythology. Ptolemy
Softer made 1t the emblem OF the Egyp.
tan kingdom. In the Roman story
the eagle was the herald to TarQuinus
of his royal power. aud 1t was one OF
the most important insignia OF the re-
public, and was also assumed by the
emperors, and adopted into medieval
heraldry after the time of Charlie
magne.

1t was a death-trap; its ranges were
all mapped and plotted, and the Ger

struetion.
Mark stood by Eleanor In irresolu-

and yet he felt a burning impulse to
play some part In affairs. His eye,

shells. The aeroplane above was still

planned, could have brought about the

and suddenly, even above the drumfire,
he could hear the sounds of cheering.
And, topping the ridge that ran before
the village, there came a swarm of
gray-green figures, thrusting back the
thin. scattered line that held it. The
bullets were whirring overhead, audi
BILE, and like a swarm of bees. Clouds
of dust rose up and hid the battle.
Eleanor, clutching Marks arm, stood

the ridge.
