WHITE RAIN BOWS.
They Are Formed by Fine Rain
and a Strong Sun.


and n Strong Sun.
Though rainbows are generally asso
ciated with colors, there is such q
phenomenon as white rainbow. The
circumstances necessary for its forma-
tion are fine rain and strong sun.
The phenomenon is due to the optic
principle known as interference. II
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 prlsmatic
colors, instead Of being thrown out
separately. as In the ordinary prism,
are thrown one on the top of the other,
and the light is thrown by the sun, as
1t were, on Il sheet Of rain. The fine
close rain produces the same effect as
a woven texture. This result is still
more noticeable where fog takes the
place of the rain.
The phenomenon is not often noticed,
because the conditions necessary to the
formation Of a white rainbow are n
strong light, close rain and a sun
lying near the horizon. These three
conditions are not often present at the
same time.-London Standard.

Consul Covert writes from Lyons
that 100000 worth OF apples were
imported from Canada to France
last summer and fall, and gives the
following suggestions to Americans as
to this trade: Lyonese fruit dealers
who have imported American apples
think they would be as popular as
Canadian apples II they were packed
as well. I advise packing in half
barrel lots. as suggested by the larg-
est dealers here. The many green
grocers In every city in France would
buy half barrels II they came packed
In such smaller receptacles. The
American apples thus far received at
Lyons have come from California
and after so long a voyage were more
or less injured.

JUPITER IN A MIRROR.
Remarkable Phenomenon Concern
ing His Satellites.

4 Remarkable Phenomenon Concern
ing His Satellites.
In very old number Of the Bulletin
de Ia Societe Astronomique de France
some one made note Of the fact that
he had seen Jupiter's satellites In a
mirror. The 9Th Of November being a
clear night a correspondent c. D. R.
Andrews. determined to make the ex.
pertinent with an ordinary looking
glass.
The image Of Jupiter in the glass" {"
be writes. was distinctly accompanied
BY small star on either side, one
nearer the planet than the other. I
then turned my telescope on the planet
and found at once that the positions
Of satellites three and one and two CO.
incided with the positions Of the stars
seen In the mirror. Satellites one and
two were at the time about $50 .. m.)
extremely close together, and I have
no doubt that these two were seen as
one in the glass.
THE explanation Of the phenomenon
is simple one. We cannot see the
satellites In the ordinary way because
Jupiter's brilliance overpowers their
feebler light. In rejecting the image
In the glass some Of this superfuous
light is k,st, and the satellites are CIV
en- a chance to show themselves."-
