Rainbow Upside Down.

Not very many persons have ever
seen an inverted rainbow, although
the phenomenon sometimes appears.
At the Italian geodynamic observatory
of Rocca de Papa not long G the di-
rector and a party Of visitors were
fortunate enough to see one. The
morning was showery, and as the
party looked down from an elevation
of 1900 feet they saw in the Cam
pagna a perfect rainbow with it's con-
cave side up, the middle point bearing
to the northeast. From the Eiffel
tower In Paris one has also been seen,
in this case the rainbow being dou-
BILE and extending above and below
the horizon to form two %concentric
circles nearly complete. Generally the
inverted rainbow is to be seen only
in the mountains and then very rarely.
The phenomenon, Of course, is due
merely to the position Of the observer,
which must be above the ~refracting
agent instead Of Observation-Disclosures.

the cactus is said to have food
value than any other vegetable, con-
tanning more of the mineral and salts
iron, potassium, Manganese, cal
cium, magnesia, and soda-that are
upbuilders of the nerve cells.
The thornless cactus will be ready
for the market in the spring Of 1909,
when there will be a half a million of
the plants f%ourishing. Some idea of
their present value may be gained
from the knowledge that Mr.. Burbank
sold five leaves for seed to ar Austral-
ian company for $1,000 with the pro-
ceeds from which he built a new bun
galow at Santa Rosa.
The wonderful plant has been de-
veloped with great secrecy. but now
Mr.. Burbank is ready for the world to
know all about it and to await ex-
pectantly for the proof of the cactus
pudding in the eating thereof.
For many years Mr.. Burbank has
been considered by horticulturists the

vegetables. He is not and does not
claim to be a botanist; his work is

Happiness and JOY.

Happiness, according to the original
use Of the term, is that which happens
Or comes to one by a hap-that is, by
an outward Detailing or favorable con-
dition. 1t is what money yields or
will buy-dress, equipage, fashion, lux
uries of the table-or it is settlement in
life, independence, love, applause, adj
miration, honor, glory, or the more
conventional and public benefits of
rank. political standing. victory, power
all these stir a delight in the soul,
which is not of the soul or its quality,
but from without; hence they are look
ed upon as happening to the soul and,
in that sense, create happiness. Joy
differs from this as being of the soul
itself. originating in it's quality. And
this appears in the original form Of the
word, which instead of suggesting a
hap literally denotes a leap or spring.
= = The motion Is outward and not
toward. as we conceive it to be in
happiness. 1t is not the bliss Of CON
dition, but of characteristic. Horace

Maxine History.

When Kinglake was writing his his
tory Of the Crimean war he received
letters from all sorts Of people con-
cerned in the war. One day a letter
with a deep black border came from
two people in the colonies, husband and
wife. describing their grief. Their only
child had been killed in the Crimea.
They wanted to have him mentioned
in the "History Of the Crimean War"
Kinglake was touched and replied by
post that he would do his best If they
would send him the necessary particu-
lars. Again a letter, also black bor-

Concealed Weapons.

Once in a college town the rumor
that students were carrying concealed
weapons reached the ears of the local
police. The chief at once issued strin-
gent orders that the heinous practice
should be stopped. One day a group
Of them passed a policeman. and one
Of the students in so doing put his
hand to his hip pocket. Then, as if
recollecting himself in time, he hastily
withdrew it and looked sheepishly at
the policeman.

latter asked sternly.
Instead Of answering, the student
and all his companions, as If panic
stricken, started to run. After a chase
all the students were cornered and or
dered to deliver up whatever they had
In their hip pockets.
Meekly they obeyed. Each one car
ried a corncOb. The remarks Of the
policemen cannot possibly be record

Naming a Kansas River.

The Joke on the jockey.

A few years ago a famous jockey
was engaged to ride the favorite in al
important race. On the way TO the
post he found himself cantering along
side IL rank outsider, the mount of Il
stable boy who had only just com.
menced riding.
You'll have to be careful with that
brute. b." he remarked. I've ridden
him before. and you'll never be able to
hold him"
Il. thanked the crack for the hint
and said that he would do his best"
Halfway through the race the out
rider and another were in front, with
the favorite close behind. Fancying
that the others were in difficulties, the
rider of the favorite shouted:
Pull out, b., and let me through!
I've got the race in hand"
The crack was mistaken. however.
Looking back, the stable boy replied,
with a grin:
81 would, but l can't hold him."
With which the novice let his horse
have his head and shot away, the east

The COLLEGES of Oxford.

Each college is built round a quad
rangle with a large entrance gateway
which often rises into a quasi tower.
The rooms Immediately over the gate
way are invariably designed for the
residence of the warden, provost or
principal of the college, so that the eye
Of the master may be over all who en-
ter or leave the place. This mode of
building still exists in India, having
been introduced into Europe by the
Moors when they conquered Spain,
where we find that the compound, or
quad, is still used for the lettering OF
all kinds Of animals. Around the quad
are arranged the chapel, library, hall
or refectory, presidents lodgings, but

A Xmas Bank.

The practice Of hiding money In all

by no means modern. In the old days,

secret receptacles were often made in
the bedsteads and contributed both to
safety and romance. On Aug. 81. 1889,
Richard III. arrived at Leicester. His
servants had preceded him with the

An Old Ash Wednesday Custom.

At m time 1t was on Ash Wednes-
day the custom to appoint nm official
Of the English palaces to crow the
hours Of the day, like a cock, as a re-
minder Of the denial Of st. Peter. This
practice excited the furious indigna-
ton Of George II. His ignorance of
English made it very difficult for the
courtiers to explain that the royal
cock Grower was not making fun of
him. The cock Grower was a salaried
officer at the English court as late as
1923.
