The "Green Ray" at Sunset.

The "green ray" or ''green fash
at. the moment the sun disappears from
view beneath the horizon has been
noticed by many physicists. Some Of
them consider this is an optical illu-
sion. NJ. Guebhald states, however,
that the green rayis the great shadow
of the earth feebly illuminated from
the zenith and viewed by an eye ia
tigued for red; it therefore appears
green. Pellat, on the contrary, states
that the 'syellow setting sun has a red
lower and green upper border sep
arately exsminable in the telescope and
due to prismatic reflection by the at
mosphere. The absorption which makes
the sun disk appear yellow makes the
violet upper rim appear green or
greelish blue instead of.violet. When
the sun sets, the upper green rim can
be seen for fraction of second, but
it may be kept longer in viewiif the
observer goes up slope as the sun
SETS" The first writer to which we
gave referred thought this was differ
snt from the green ray following the
setting of the red sun. NJ. Raveau
said that he had seen the sea colored
green in a triangle with it's apex at
the point where thes sun set, and the
color seems to flow away toward the
horizon Scientific American.

Improved Physiq ne OF Men and Women

improved Physiq ne OF Men and Women
The fine physique with which Brit
ish girls are now blessed is attributed
to the healthier life they lead in con-
sequence of the open air exercise in
which they indulge. Br nothing has
been said about men. Perhaps the
papers imagine they were always as
Zig as they are now. 1t is interesting,
therefore, to look at the tables of the
weights of the crews in the unlvers-
ity race, showing that they are much
heavier than in former years.
From the year 1641 inclusive, until
the present day, there was no crew
averaging ~ stone (16S pounds) until
Oxford, with exactly that weight, won
inNls67, the average weight being
roughly about II! stone (161 pounds).
Until the end of 1877 there were only
four crews averaging II stone or over.
From that date until 1887 there were
six crews over that weight, but the
weights under 12 stone had gone up
considerably from the earlier periods.
From 1887 until the present time
there have only been five crews under
10 stone, both crews in 1888 being un-
der that weight, and the Cambridge
crew 10 1894 being only half pound
under. So that for the last ten years
there have, practically speaking, been
only two crews under 12 stone. 1t is
certainly significant that the increase.

A very simple rule for fitting the

their pressure upon the base of the
