Sfeur Jacques was an uncommonly large and powerful warrior, r.bo serv ed ? under '.Louis.' -XXL and Francis T. of France. As may be deduced from their armor, the kniglits of the period were not noticeably large men, and Sieur Jacques must have seemed a veritable giant, for'a "six-foot attendant at the museum has tried on his armor and Is said to have "merely rattled a'rotmd in It" Sea Mose. Owing to the war the supply of "sea moss," of which several hundred thousand pounds, valued at almost $50,000, have been imported annually, for the most part from France and Germany, has virtually come to an end. Se? moss (hot seaweed) is the popular name of several kinds of small marine animals that grow in colonies of a branching, plahUlke form. Their commercial value arises from their having a horny skeleton which preserves the general plantlike shape of the growth. ^ Difference of Custom.

A., writing in the Journal of the Amer ican Medical Association. For a num- j ber of reasons the serpent was always the symbol of medicine In antiquity. The Babylonians' caduceus, which ;as the Insignia shows today?two snakes entwined with wings at the top of the staff?occurs in Hittite remains. It stands for an actual serpent god, Nin gishzida, who as the special messenger of Ishtar, was the awakener of life Jn the sprfngttme, and the M?esopotamIah prototype of the Greek Hermes. The Romans had a special functionary, the caduceator, who was a sort of peace commissioner, The caduceus was used oh the title pages of books published bV the1 famohis medical printer, Fro benius, in 1460 to 1527.
