Lunar Rainbows.

Lunar rainbows are seldom ob- served in the temperate zone. Very likely the physical phenomenon occurs frequently. but is invisible because of the faintness of the moons light In the tropics. where moonlight is more intense. says the Scientific American. lunar raInbows are more frequently observed. They are by no means rare at Reunion island At All places the phenomenon is most frequently seen at full moon when the moons light is highest. but it has been seen in various phases of the moon. II was first ob- served by Aristotle. A lunar rainbow is produced at full moon by the spray of the great Victoria falls of the Yguas- stu in Brazil.

WRIGHT lSNNOT
 FLYING FOR MONEY
Making Serious Study of k Aeroplane and in No Side
 Show Business.
HE WANTS PERFECT MOTOR

New York, Oct 5.-eI do not think shall ever again take part in a flying meet for money today declared Will bur Wright. the Dayton aviator whose
 marvellous flight yesterday around Grants Tomb is regarded as the most spectacular ever made in America.
 My brother and myself are not in the sideshow business. We are mak- ing a serious study of the, aeropIane. Every time we go into the air we
 make a study of some part of our ma chine, some part of the mechanism, or some peculiar weather condition, with a view. to improving our machine"
 This comment was elicited from Wright when he was asked if he would accept any of the fabulous offers made to him by managers who believed that he could be induced to make flights for them now that he had flown in New York.
 "Is regarded this New York flight as a different proposition," he went on.
 "One hundred years ago, Fulton built little thing, and he was jeered and hooted when he told of his plans. It was a toy compared to the giant Mau- retaria. of today, but 1t was from the tiny C1ermont that the Mauretania grew My brother and myself regard Cur experiments as in the same state as F'ulton,s steamboat-in it's infancy. So wanted toStake part in this cele-
 bration and thus pay my respects to the man who had the nerve to build the first steam boat"
 t'You spoke of the C1ermont and the Mauretanfa; do yoti think the next
 hundred years will see. the Mauretania of the skies7'' Wright was asked.
 Who knows?'' he replied. TT am awfully sorry had to disappoint the people of New York" Wright contin- ued, but am mighty glad this acci- dent occurred when 1t did. It might have happened in the air, and the best I could have gotten would have been duckfng; while I might not have been able to glide safely into the water at all The accident taught me a, les- son, and that is that until motors are perfected we shall have no perfect aerop1ane My aeroplane seems all right but my motors are not. I hope the day will come soon when we shall have a perfect motor.'
 l It is said Wright will receive the sum he was to have been paid by the Hudson Fulton commission as he made an honest effort to fly and did make a flight he had refused to contract for. wright left today for Washington to resume his school of instruction for army officers whom he is to teach the use of his aeroplar1e.

The weather man will do the square thing to-day and the fans in Hartford adelphia and New York Americans battle at the Wethersfield grounds. The game is being run by the Hartford Fan Club.
 Harry Moves last season: at third base for the Hartford and this season with Nashville in the Southern League says he will not, return to organized ball next season. but will play inde- pendent ball in and around New Ha- ven which IS his home. Moves has opened up cigar store in the Elm City.
 A young man named Mullen umpired game of ball at the Polo Grounds yesterday for the second time this season. Its a safe bet that he will be doing duty in that organization next season. Mullen halls from the West ern league, and the Philadelphia play CTS thought they would have some fun at his expense and rawness. They got sO fresh with the new indicator holder that three were ordered out of the game and when they. refused to go he pulled the watch on them. Still re- fusing to quit, the umpire declared the game forfeited to the Giants. The gone all right. with great deal of joshing of the lump" by the Quakers. In the second game those on the bench became so loud that Mullen going ove- to the bench said: sIn order not to make any mistake about getting the guilty ones, I wills clear t he entire bench. One more yell out of you and the whole bunch to the club house. When he was holding his watcher on the players he shouted Hurry up and get some players out here. These men are out of the games Mullen was alone in the game no other official showing up. Included in the batting order of the Tigers against the New York Ameri- cans tomorrow at New York Is Iron Man" McGinnity who will pitch part of the game. In view of the fact that it is benefit contest for Sam Crane every person entering the park will have-t pay. including the scribes, and attendants. Seats are selling at high the Boston Americans donating $10e for his sitting. The game will be un- der the auspices of Elks Lodge No. !
 Baseball certainly has a desperate hold on the sporting public. Tester day the National Commission having charge of the sale of seats for the series of games between the Tigers and Pirates announced that the sale of reserved seats advertised for We'd nesday had been called off owing te the fact that no tickets were left for either of the games at the end of the week.
