WHITE RAlNBOWS.
Formed by Strong Light, Fine Rain
and Low Sun,

Formed by Strong Light, Fine Rain
and Low Sun.
Though rainbows are generally asso-
ciated with colors, there Is such phe-
nomenon, very rare, 1t Is true, as q
white rainbow. The circumstances nec-
essary for its formation are fine rain
and strong sun. The phenomenon Is
due to the optic principle known as In.
reference. If the drops of water be
very small, the interference of the rays
causes such complete overlapping Of
the colors that the bow appears white.
That Is to say, the various prismatic
colors, instead Of being thrown out
separately, as in the ordinary prism,
are thrown one on the top of the other,
and the light is thrown by the sun, as
It were, on sheet Of rain. The fine
close rain produces the same effect as
q woven texture. This result is still
more noticeable where a fog takes the
place Of the rain.
The phenomenon Is not often noticed,
because the conditions absolutely nec-
essary to the formation of a white
rainbow are a strong light, close rain
and a sun lying near the horizon.
These three conditions are not often
present at the same time. Westmin-
