WHITE RAINtBoW A RARITY.

What is known as a white rainbow is an ex-
remey rare phenomenon. It was observed at
the Montouris observatory at Paris by NJ Louis
Besson. It was an almost colorless bow and was
seen at 2:10 p. m. dying out and then reappear-
Ing at 3:15. reaching q maximum brightness at
1925. then disappearing Ave minutes later. The
bow had about three degrees width and was not
pure white. but somewhat tinged with rose
color at the outer edge and violet at the inner.
The angular height Of the summit was 40 degrees
minutes on the average. There have been often
observed In the mountains Of the polar regions
white bows upon fogs clouds composed Of
liquid drops
The explanation Of this phenomenon known
as the "Ulloa circle" was given by Mascart It Is
only special case Of the general theory of tho
rainbow as given by Airy. which allows of sup.
posing a mixture Of the colors 20 to approach
white. at the same time as widening Of the arc
and a dimnution OF the radius, when the diam
eter OF the drops becomes smaller and comes
near to Al u.-Scientinc American.

Water Service This Week.

Morgan City.-The much talked-of
steamboat line which the Morgan
Louisiana and Texas Railroad and
Steamship Company is to inaugurate
was put into service this week be-

the initial trip to be. made by the
steamer Jennie Barbour, which is
owned by the Texas Transportation
Company of Franklin, La, and Hous-
ton, Texas, but leased by the railroad
company for this service until boats
now in course of construction will
be completed. The Jennie Barbour
will carry the new steel hull barge

He was fourteen inches long from

The length of him reached from the

are that this premier money laundry of the world
can be operated at an expense not exceeding $40
per day-that is with outlay of one1ftieth of
a cent for each bill laundered. Even in the pre-
liminary experiments the cost has not exceeded

At the outset only the bills Of small denomina

Gates. will be cleansed These being the bills that
are subjected TO the greatest wear and tear in
circulation are the shortest-lived.
The question will naturally present itself to
the reader as to what proportion Of the whole
volume of circulating medium can be laun-
dered The officials answer that about fourfifths

pours into the treasury to be exchanged for new
currency at a rate Of more than 100000 900 bills
per year. The Investigations which have been
made by a special committee appointed by the
secretary OF the treasury disclose that fully 80
per cent. of this is not torn or tattered, or in
reality shows any sign Of wear. but has been
turned back by the banks simply because 1t is
wrinkled limp and dirty All Of this 80 per
cent. of the currency could be Numbered and the
experiments seem to indicate that there is no
reason why each bill should not be aundered
repeatedly. The present normal life of a one

course. in a proportionate saving in the expen-
dture for labor and material In printing new

The experiments which the treasury experts
have been carrying on has been to determine the
best and most economical method Of laundering
money rather than to try out different chemical
formulas for the cleansing. AS a matter Of fact
