HAlOS AND RAINBOWS.
IT,, Varied Forms Assumed by These
Phenomena.

The correspondence columns of the
scientific journals are overwhelmed
with letters from persons who have
witnessed one or another of the optical
phenomena of the atmosphere, ana
who describe the same In such a way
as to give the impression that they
have never opened n book on optics.
Strange to say these letters frequently
come from men who are more or less
prominent i'm the scientific world. one
can hardly escape the conviction that a
large number-perhaps the majority
of physicists. meteorologists and as
tronomers have proiitcd little by the re-
searches of Nudge Blot, Bravals, Mas
cart Pertncr and other students OF
atmospheric optics.
There is. for example, particularly
beautiful form of halo-the "circum-
zenithal arc"-which is nearly always
described by persons who thus report
their experience as If the phenomenon
in question was one of which they had
never heard, and which they are con-
seauently unable to call by Its correct
nomc or bring into relation with other
luminous mcteors. A description OF
this kind appeared in Nature for May
