EXPLAINING "JACK" IN FLAG
Origin of Emblem Of the British EN-
pire Goes Back to the Days of
Plate Armor.

"The Star-Spangled Banner" ex-
plains itself; like the "tricOOr' OF
France. But who put the Jack in
Union Jack? This curious term. which
Is the only name by which we know
the British flag, has been the subject
OF much surmise; but so unique is its
history that you would never guess it
In thousand years!
In ancient times every English SOL
der in the field wore the protecting
"jacque'' or surtOut lover alD, which
was garment of padded leather in
tersperscd with pieces Of plate armor'
upon the breast the crimson cross OF
st. George When the soldiers had
occasion to board q ship their jacques
were placed next each other along the
bulwarks OF the ship in the same way
that the Romans arranged their
shields on board their galleys.
The jacques SO afforded the men pro-
lection against the arrows Of their
adversaries on the water, and by their
device upon the outer side proclaimed
the nationality of the ship. Excepting
the kings own ship, which flew the
royal arms on silken sail, the jacques
bore the only indication Of the nation
atty of a vessel.
In the course of time, when the
jacques were not longer needed along
the bulwarks, a solitary jacQue was
probably displayed at the bowspr1t,
and so the name "Jack" came into use
for the flag that superseded it.
In 1901 the three kingdoms OF Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland were for
malIy united and the British flag
made a combination Of the cross or
ST. George for England, Of st. Andrew
for Scotland and of st. Patrick for Ire
hand. 1t WAS this union which made
the British flag the Union jack

"Easter Riding" In Bohemia.

In various parts of Bohemia, now
the principal state Of the new Czecho-
Slovak republic, curious old custom
prevails, that of 'Easter riding" On
each Easter day, at four o'clock in the
morning, the riders assemble, dressed
in black and carrying crosses, flags and
other emblamx.s From Schonwald they
proceed on three-hOurs' ride to
Kuhn, where they attend service. The
priest, after sermon wherein he re-
fers to the horse as symbol Of pow
er, bestows his benediction on the ami
mails ard their riders. This done, the
riders visit the nelghhoring castles,
where they receive hospitality, subse-
quently making their way homeward,
escorted by hand and n large crowd.
The origin Of this curious custom Is
lost in the mists Of antiquity.

SPORES SCATTERED BY WIND
Remarkable Reproduction Of Species

We often wonder at the amazingly

Mr.. Burton Q. Longyear in the Cutters
Book describes the marvellous repro
ductive powers OF these fragile and
short-lived plants.
Each species Of fungus produces
upon or within some part Of its fruit
body countless numbers of minute re-
productive bodies called spores. SO
small and light are they that they float
in the air as an invisible dust. Many
of them fall to the ground and are
washed into the soil by rains. Others
are waited away on every breeze, car
ried possibly for days, to be brought
down at length by rain many leagues
from their starting point In this
way they are carried to the ends Of
the earth, busted into every crack ana
Granny, lodged on every exposed sur
face Of wood or soil and caught on
every dewmoistcned leaf or twig.
The amazing number of spores pro-
duced by single fungus can be real
lied only by knowing their relative
size. Thus in the case Of most puff
balls at least three thousand OF the
globular spores, when laid side by side.

recently In Aeolian Hall. New York,
and was called by New York critic
one OF the most delightful OF the en-
tire series. In regard to the forth
coming European tour OF. this great
american orchestra, he writes:
Doubtless the musicians felt the
call to give the audience OF their best,
since In a few short days they are
to sail for France. there to begin a
tour such as no other orchestra has
ever undertaken and under auspices
such as no other musical organization
has ever enjoyed. Perhaps 1t was the
inspiration Of the coming venture
that warmed to such vital beauty the
playing of the two. nocturnes, 'Nu-
ages" and 'Fetes' OF Debussy, which.
with the 'Perpetuum Mobile from
Moskowskrs suite, opus 30. formed
the final group on the program.
AT the close of the printed list Mr..
Damrosch led his orchestra in The
Marseillaise' and The StarSpangled

Statistics furnished by the Inter
