statcsns his conclusion. that clouds'of
not less than two thousand feet in thick-
ness are seldom accompanied by min. or.

minute drops;- with a thickness of be«

tween two thousand and four thousand ‘

feet. the size of the drops is moderate;
with increasing thickness of the clouds
comes an increasing size of the drops. and
at the same time the degree of tempera~

The First American Fling. E
It is believed that the first American
flag bearing thirteen red and white f
stripes was it uiiion' flag. presented to a
Philadelpliin military compfllly» the i
Light Horse. by Capt. Mnrkee in 1775. .
Previous to this each colony hnd dis~
played its own ensign and the army and :
navy departments bud distinctive tings. :
In 1777 the Constitutional Congress re« .
solved “that the flag of the United ‘
States shall be. thirteen stripes. alternate .
red and white. with thirteen white stars '3
on a blue field. representing a new con— ;
stellntion.“ The first flag of this de-%
acription was flung to the breeze over ?
Fort Schuyler. (now the site of Home.
N. Y.) in August 177:. The gtrrison .
constructed their ring of sheets and bits
of red cloth. while Capt. Abraham
Swartout‘s [blue cont was used for mnk~ l
ingstars. The flag- u it; now waves was
designed in 1818. by Capt. Samuel Reid. 7
ofthe privateer Armstrong. who acted i
on the invitation of a Congressional:
Committee. He retained the thirtecn‘,
stripe. of the original design and added .
u new star for each State in the Union.— l
