PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.
WHITE RAINBOWS.

There is such a phenomenon as a
white rainbow. The circumstances ne
cessary for it's formation are fine rain
and a strong sun. The phenomenon is
due to the optical principle known as
interference If the drops of water be
very small the interference of the rays
causes such a complete overlapping OF
the colors that the bow appears white.
That is to say, the various prismat1c
colors, instead of being thrown out
separately, as in the ordinary prism,
are thrown one on top of the other,
and the light is thrown by the sun, as
it were, on a sheet of rain. The fine,
close rain produces the same effect as
woven texture. This result is still
more noticeable where a fog takes the
place of rain. The phenomenon is not
often noticed, because the conditions
necessary to the formation of a white
rainbow are a strong light, close rain
and the sun lying near the horizon.
These three conditions are not often
present at the same time.

What London Editors Say About Lord
SaIiabury's Speech.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-All the morning
papers contain editorial references to the
Marquis of Salisbury's speech at the Lord
Mayors banquet last night.
The Graphic says: THE Venezuelan set
tlement is practical and equitable and is a
credit to all concerned. 1t fully justifies the
intervention of the United States"
The Daily Mail comments as follows:
Now that the United States has met us
on such satisfactory terms, the arranging
of the final settlement will be awaited with
quiet confidence. The grave danger of "A
fratricidal war has been safely passed
over"
The Times expresses regret that the
change of Presidents in the United States
will serve to remove Mr.. Bayard. the United
States ambassador. from a post which he
has filled with so much distinction. The
Times says OF Lord Salisbury's speech:

SUSPICIOUS STORY.


CHICAGO, Nov. 81. Herman, jeweler,
whose place of business Is on the tenth
floor OF the Masonic Temples told the police
this afternoon that two men had entered
his Office, bound and gagged him and his
clerk. c. A. McCurty, and then carried off
diamonds valued at $4,000 and about 800 in
currency. Herman's story is that the two
men entered the place with drawn revolv-
ers. and while one kept him and McCurty
covered with his weapons, the other swept
$1,000 worth OF diamonds from the SAFE
took one other diamond from the show
case and the money from the cash drawer.
The two robbers then gagged Herman and
McCurty with handkerchiefs and bound
them with cords. They then left the place.
after telling the men to keep quiet or they
would be shot. Herman and his clerk
pounded on the floor with their feet and at
tracted the attention OF ". T. Bert, in the
next office. Bert came to Herman's door.
but thinking from the noise that there was
a fight In Herman's room he ran back for
a revolver. When he returned he found
both men united and walking around the
leave the building. and Herman could not
for a long time produce any cord with
which he or his clerk had been bound. Late
In the day he brought a cord around to the
police station and said il was the cord
which had bound him. There were other
features about the story told by Herman
that made the police a little skeptical of a
robbery having been committed, but they
are working to catch the alleged thieves.

In response Mr.. Hanna said II wish

but little about the work in the Western
States and therefore cannot judge properly
what this battle has been. / have been
more than gratified since coming to New
York to hear the kind expressions on all
sides. Of course, il touches a mans vanity
and ii did mine. But it went deeper than
that; ii has touched my heart, and when
look into the earnest faces around me
begin to fully appreciate that every man in
this room is upon the side of honest gov
ernment, and in the efforts put forth in
this campaign, he among many, has been
a patriot ana none more so tnan the men,
bers of the Mckinley League of the State
of New York. / desire to make use of this
opportunity then to thank you from my
heart for your hearty cooperation. and to
nope that as you are TO pursue the lines
of your work in the future that you will
be guided entirely by those patriotic feel
ingS, and do whatever ii best for the good
OF our party and our country without re-
gard TO personalities. L judge a man $
patriotism by the sacrifices he las made.
Let that be your motto under whatever
banner you work for the future and YOU
