Rainbow Turns Turtle,

Not very many persons have seen
an inverted rainbow. although the phe-
nomenon sometimes appears. At the
Italian Geodynamic observatory OF
Rocca da Papa not long ago the direc-
tor and a party of visitors were for.
tunate enough to see one.
The morning was showery, and. as
the party looked down from an ele-
walton Of 1900 feet, they saw In the
Campagna perfect rainbow, with
eoncave side up. the middle point bear.
Ing to the northeast. From the Eiffel
tower, in Paris. one has also been
seen, in this case the rainbow being
double, and extending above and be-
low the horizon to form two concen.
trio 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 posi-

CALL MONEY REACHES
SEVEN PER CENT RATE
1910 Expected to Eclipse 1909
Industrial Records

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The last week
of the old year in the stock market
was taken UP with preparations for the
annual money settlements. and this re-
stricted resources available for stock
market operations. The tone was cheer
full and hopeful.
Compared with average rates for
this period the per cent call rate
on money that was reached was
moderate.
Expectation is almost universal that
the coming year will see the industrial
records of last year eclipsed. Heavy
accumulation of securities is believed
to have been made by great capitalists
and still held by them their proba BILE
purpose being to distribute these hold
ings at profitable prices.
The wage question being forced on
the railroads, the high cost of living
which complicates that problem and the
political side given to the financial
prospect by the legislative, judicial and
executive treatment of corporation
questions arc the possible obstacles to
prosperous course of the stock market
speculation.

SALT WATER FIRE
SYSTEM COMPLETED
Auxiliary Equipment Will Be
Accepted by Oakland COun-
Gil Within a Few Days

OAKLAND, Jan. 2.-The auxiliary salt
water fire protection system on which
the city has spent $4,000 probably
will be turned over by the contractors
to the municipal authorities early this
week. Since Friday preliminary tests
of the pumping apparatus at Lake Mer-
ritt and of the pipe lines have been
made by Assistant city Engineer
Brown. Two or three insignificant de-
fects in couplings were found. and are
to be corrected tomorrow. If the
work meets with no obstacle the official
tests will be made Tuesday or Wednes-
day.
E.our tests showed that the system
will be an absolute success. said
Brown. In the entire line from the
lake through the business district We
FOUND only two or three minor de-
fects. On these the men are now
working, and we expect to have the re-
serve fire protection in readiness for
an emergency in few days"
The salt water auxiliary system COW
ers the business section from Four
teenth street to the water front and
between Clay and Franklin streets. The
pumps at the lake have force enough
to throw streams several hundred
feet, and it is improbable that fire
could ever start in the business sec
tion which could not be beaten out by
the terrific streams the system will
provide.
City Engineer Turner will ask the
council TO apportion money in the
budget this year TO extend the system
to the water front at the foot of Web
ster street, where an additional feed
pipe can be placed. Then fire tugs
could pump water into the pipes from
th6 I,I-
station was working at the east
The first work on the system cost
$4,000, when an ornamental pumping
station house was built on the lake
shore and the engines were installed.
This years budget contained an ap-
portionment of $95,0OO with which the
distributing pipes and hydrants were
provided

If Ferdinand of Bulgaria be unpop-

nursing has always been a favorite
pastime, and nothing touches the heart

tinues the work she undertook as
princess of Reuss. when she worked
with heroic devotion during the cam
paign in Manchuria, and has already
founded a home for the blind and an
other for the deaf and dumb in Soma.
Queen Eleanor has never been fond
of the pomp of court life. In the little
principality of Reuss she avoided All
but charity functions. and possihIv
does not look forward with much
pleasure to court balls and court func-
tions. for which the primitive society
