THE ART OF THE HITHITES,
The double-headed angle that one anen in the arms of Germany, Austria, and Russia secins to have as ancient a lineage as any that can be claimed for a national symbol. It goes back to the art of the Hittites, that people of Biblical recorvi, who stand as the most enticing of fata morgana to religious archeologists. This is not the only fanture of their art to be found in moro-modern-use. The claim is made by Prof. Lewis F. Pilcher, of Vassar College, COAL DEPARTMENT, who writes in the Janusty Chautagun
that the lion, used as a symbol in much "OLE PROPRIETORS of TAKA.Italian architecture built by the Hamonic SIMA, COHL, MUTABE, HOJO, Į gülds known as the Comacine' masters, also NAMAZUTÁ, SAYO, SHINNEW has its origin in the dim pastwist Hittite architectare.

These things, it is asserted, make os lock upon the Hittities as the "originatora of an individual and rigorous art, the effect of which has been lasting." It is even maintained that art history must be re- written in order to give credit to this people for the earliest use, if not tha,in-) vention, of artistic elements that have be come lasting and wide-spread.

The Hittite roliefs at Boghaz-kout-represent the deities as being "supported by the symbols of temporal and mystic power." The lion, king of beasts, observes the writer, represented in the most satisfactory way the idea of physical superiority." The double-beaded eaglo presenta "the ides of supernatural control. Wo read: "As
the eagle, the monarch of birds, scare above the head of man, oven toward the aun, so the deity that is believed to be the master of the mysterious forces of the beavens is pictured as supported by, not a single, natural eagle, but by cne with two hends, endowed with the ability for gather•; ing experience from the past and fore- 818 casting the future, a pictograph of

The writer proceeds: It is interesting to note in this conection that when the early Christians were developing, their ikonography and desired to express the significance of the various gospels in pictorial form, they represented Mark as Lion, because the story of Christ's lifete. iated by Mark laid especial emphasis upon his earthly power. John, presenting the spiritual character of the Saviour, is sym bolized as an eagle,
