ABOUT.
SUN RINGS

In regard to the halo around the sun
which created much excitement
throughout the eastern section of this
country Mr.. Justice Stain, secretary
OF the astronomical section of the
Maryland Academy of Science, says:
very often, when the heavens are
overcast by slight, or light, fleecy
clouds, we observe colored rings about
the moon and the sun. They are term
ed halos, or aureoles. l have never
observed a halo about the sun in the
latitude of Baltimore, but halos about
the moon are quite frequent. One of
the most brilliant that | have OBJ
served In Baltimore occurred some
time In the beginning of 1901. Very Of
ten the halos do not form a complete
circle, but are visible only in sections.
PROBABLY the reason we do not notice
the halo about the sun is on account
OF its intense brilliancy, and that we
90 not look at 1t directly. The best
way to observe halos is to observe thu
rejection of the sun in black mirror,
Dlack glass or glass smoked on one
sloe. In meteorology the halos are
divided into two classes-the corona.
which is of small diameter. and the
halo, which is of greater extent. In
the corona the color of the inner part
OF the ring is blue, and the outer red.
In the large halo the red is on the in
side and the blue outside. The corona
is classed as different phenomena
that is, the light from the sun or moon
IN encountering the small particles in
the cloud or which form the cloud is
broken up, scattered or attracted like
the graftings that Prof. Rawland ruled
at the Johns Hopkins university. Dill
rracted light may be of two kinds. It
may pass through fine material and be
attracted like in a transmission graf
Ing, or it may be broken up by encoun.
tering the fine particles and being re-
Elected. We never have a attraction
caused by a reflection of the light from
the small particles in the cloud. The
halo is supposed to be due both to diff
traction and reflection When light is
attracted it passes through a medium

which both disperses 1t and bends IL
out of its course Thus the rainbow is
produced by the sunlight passing
through the drops of water and the wa
ter regional ways opposite to the sun.
Halos occur only in the higher clouds
and are more frequent than the CO.
roma. Sometimes the halos intersect
each other, and at their intersection
round patches are formed, called mock
suns. The particles of matter forming
the medium for refracting the light are
mostly small ice crystals or ice needles
Mr.. Gildersleeve, the late president of
the Baltimore Astronomical Society,
related that at various times he had
observed snow storms through the tel
escope while making daylight obser.
vations of the stars and planets. At
any rate there is considerable solid
matter in the atmosphere that we
sometimes observe in sweeping around
with the telescope. On rare occasions
we can see bird flying across the
field of view, Of which not sign can
be seen with the naked eye. Then,
again, small specks fly across, looking
like small meteors. At one time / OBJ
served a ray seeming to have its origin
at the setting sun on the horizon and
extending as a slender beam clear to
the zenith and lost to view a little to
the east of the zenith. The mock suns
are mostly seen in high ATTITUDES. We
can then come to the conclusion that
halos and mock suns are simply due to
the state Of the atmosphere when it
contains moisture, ice crystals and
snow, and they existed from the re-
hottest times, when the earth had been
fashioned to it's present condition, and
there Is no cause for alarm. "-Balti-

BATTLESHIP'S WEAKNESS
Barbettes on English Craft Said to
Have Sunk Six Inches " " x x

The report that the Implacable's
oarbettes have sunk six inches or so
is very serious one, but while it is
an error to minimize the matter, moth
ing is gained by exaggerating it. We
still hope that a good deal of exagger-
alton will be found to exist in the
early reports So far as we can gather
from the vague paragraphs going
around the daily press, the thing that
has happened is not altogether without
precedent. Twice before it has oc-
Cured with that system of gun mount

small base at the bottom of the shin
The principle is, roughly, that of an
inverted cone, and has been used in a
not very dissimilar form by the French
for good ten years. 1t has certain
great advantages but like most adj
Vantages, there are counterbalancing
factors. If anything in the ships con-
struction is faulty, the whole mount
ing is likely to sink, and the fault may
be created by the strain of docking.
This actually occurred with the Japan
ese battleship Shikisima, and it would
puzzle anyone where to lay the blame.
So far as we can gather her barbette
guns were moved in dock, and the
ship did not happen to be fully sup
ported directly underneath the bar

remedied by cutting off some of the

Name Sells the cigar.

>oho ccAiS tiio CASaFs
1T takes lot of thinking to get up
a name for a new cigar" remarked the
representative of big cigar manu-
factory. THE popularity of a cigar
is influenced more or less by the judi
cious selection of name I've known
some that didn't go at all under one
name to have quite a large sale when
put on the market as another brand
A good name for cigar is one that
is short and catchy. 1t must sound
nice, for name that jars on the ear
will hoodoo any cigar. We do a lot
of studying when we are about to in
troduce new low-priced cigar to the
public. At the factory prize is usual
ly offered for the hest name. and there
is much consideration given to the Sc
lection Of the name. The smoker won't

circus without a ringmaster! They
used to have black hair, parted in the
middle and beautifully smoothed,
evening dress (even at matinees) and
white gloves. The ringmaster was al
most ones earliest hero; the butcher
came first, perhaps, and then the po-
liceman and railway guard; but the
ringmaster, when his hour struck,
thrust these plebians, these usurpers,
these Warbecks and Simnels, into inn
penetrable darkness. That whip was
beyond all steels, all truncheons, all
bulls eye lanterns and whistles; one
would not exchange it for a scepter.
The ringmaster's effulgence was SUI
perior even to the dimming influences
Of the clowns wit. That immortal di
alogue following upon the bet of a bot
tie of wine" always 'wine;" what
is "wine?" champagne? claret? sher-
ry? port?-port l suspect, that the
ringmaster could not answer three
questions with plain yes or no; how
often have l heard it and how potent
1t always is! The first question was
anything; the second question was
anything; but the third, propounded
by the clown after long self-commun-
ing, was stepped in guile: "Do you
still beat your wife?" There n no way
out of that; affirmative and negative
alike are powerless to rob that "still"
OF its sting; and off goes the clown
with his bottle Of wine, crack goes the
whip, round ambles the old white
horse with a back like Table Noun
