LUNAR RAINsow IN GEORGIA.
Unusual Phenomenon Reported to the
Scientific American.

A curious and unusual phenomenon,
In the form Of rainbow for which the
moon instead Of the sun furnished the
light. was observed here on the night
Of June 10.
A heavy rainstorm. accompanied by
considerable thunder, occurred Just
before moonrise. AS the clouds re.
tired to the west the luminary rose
and the bow was first observed. only
the extremities for about Is degrees
being visible. the moon at that time
being concealed behind q small cloud
For about tweaty minutes the bow in.
creased In brightness. and at the end
Of that time could be clearly traced
throughout its entire length. AT each
end the red and blue colors could be
plainly distinguished. but the re.
mainder Of the arc showed only q Q
light streak across the clouds.
The coalitions for the phenomenon
were almost IDEAL. the moon being but
q few days past full. the cloud screen
occupying the proper position. and. a.
It occurred just at moonrise. the bow
was seen we'll up In the heavens.
After the clouds had almost entirely
melted away. leaving only . slight
haze through which the stars shone,
portions Of the bow could still BE-
clearly discerned.-Poulan correspon

OLDEST WOMAN IN AMERICA.
Easter Mathews, Claiming to Dc 1875
Years Of Ace, Dead.

The Oldest person In Augusta. Va.
and probably the Oldest in the United
States, is dead from old age. Easter
Mathews was her name. She Was a
co,ored woman and lived at 81 New
Pine street. Her age was 135 years.
Aunt Easter" as she WAS called.
was born in 1910. and while in slavery
she belonged to number of promi-
nent iamilies of the city. She had for
her last owners the Clayton family,
and she often spoke Of Turner Clay
ton In her last days.
One OF the ways the old woman had
Of telling her age was that she re-
membered several years before the
Springfield Baptist church was built
in the city. and this institution IL los
years old. She claimed that she re-
membered when the spot where the
church now stands was in the swamp.

An extraordinary turn" led to =
free fight recently among the audi

In Hungary. A man named Johann
Marnolk. advertised as ''conjurer and
cannibal." after finishing his sleight-
ofhand tricks. announced that he
would give an exhibition OF cannibal.
Ism. II any one In the audience would
oblige by coming on the platform. A
peasant lad offered himself. and went
on the stage. whereupon the cannibal
artist" threw himself upon him. and
hxed his teeth In his ear. Some Of
the audience attempted to help the
hoy, others wished the scene to con.
tinuc and prevented them. and finally
a fierce fight with cudgeis began.
which ended In three persons being
killed. eighteen seriously. and over
forty more slightly injured. The can.

ODD CUSTOM IN MOROCCO.
Estates Of Fallen Faveritss Invariably
ConfiseAted.


It b . custom in Morocco that all
the property Of an oficial revert1 At
his death to the crown. The logic
which leads 10 such results Is simple.
for the government argues that all
fortunes thus accumulated consist OF
moneys Illegally retained by the au-
thorities. A governor when appoint
ed is probably possessed Of NO con-
siderable fortune. When he dies he
may be 4 millionaire. Whence came
this wealth! Squeezed most certain.
ly from the tribes under his authority,
and therefore amassed only by the
prerosatIves Of the position In which
the Sultan had placed him.
II has never struck the Moorish
government that these great fortunes
might more honorably be returned to
the people from whom they were stols
en-. The result is entire conhscation
to the crown. Including often such pri-
vate property as the governor may
have been possessor Of before his ap-
pointment.
When the mighty fall in Morocco

their families. even uncles and cous.
