The Real London.

English air, working upon London
smoke, creates the real London. The
real London is not a city of uniform
brightness, like Paris, :. it is a pic
ture continually changing, continual
sequence of pictures, and there is nc
knowing what mean street corner may
not suddenly take on a glory not its
own. The English mist is always al
work like d subtle painter, and Lon
don is a vast canvas prepared for the
mist to work on. The especial beauty
of London is the Thames, and the
Thames is so wonderful because the
mist is always changing its shapes
and coIors, always making its lights
mysterious, and building palaces OF
cloud out of mere parliament houses
with thir jags and turrets. When the
mist colIaborates with night and rain

MANY FORMS OF EARLY FLAGS

According to the Smithsonian insti.
tution there were many forms Of early
flags, especially colonial types, used
by the individual colonies and militia
regiments, before the flag Of the UNI
ted States was established by the con-
tinental congress June IA, 1777, the
anniversary of which date is now cell
ebrated as flag day. This act required
that the flag of the United States be

. One of the first occasions for pub
lie display of the Stars and Stripes is
said to have been August g, l777,
when the new flag was hoisted over
the troops at Fort Schuyler, Rome, N.
Y. John Paul Jones is said to have
been the first to fly the Stars and
Stripes over the high seas on the
Ranger in November, TIT.
From the time of the Revolution the
Stars and Stripes in the flag have va
rIed. There were 13 stars during the
Revolution, is In the war of 1872, 20
in the Mexican war, 80 to 35 in the
Civil war, As in the Spanish war and
48 today. The stripes were changed
first from 10 to Is and then back
again to IS. Our national flag is
among the oldest flags of the nations,
being older than the present British
jack, the French tricoIor and the flag
Of Spain.
