MOON DOGS WERE NOT

Number of People Arose From Their
Warm Beds TO Take Look at
Phenomenon

Many people have heard Of moon
dogs" and also of sun dogs" and
although these varieties are not
canine and do not howl under your
window at night they are considered
very good prognosticators of future
events, in regard to denoting a
change in the weather. Early risers,
who were fortunate enough to be
awake yesterday morning before the
moon went down are still talking of
the wonderful phenomenon which
they witnessed in the western sky.
Quite unlike the ordinary kind Of
moon dogs" was the spectacle pre-
sented. The moon, round and bright,
and almost full, hung low in the sky,
while across it's center extending
upward and downward was a broad
swath of what appeared vivid white
light. On each side of the moon was
/ flood of irridescent rainbow rays,
giving a very beautiful effect. Peo-
pie who were fortunate enough to
witness the phenomenon yesterday
morning told their friends about it,
and there were a number of dis
appointed folk this morning, who
arose from their warm and COM
Portable slumbers, hoping to see hist
CRY repeat itself, and only saw a
cloudy sky. The weather appears to
have changed, however.

REDUCING THE time
SCHEDULE ON RAILS
What Will Be Accomplished in Russia;
Transportation Of Goods Is
QuiCkened
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch

Christiania, Norway, January 19.-
When the new railway connecting
Petrograd with the Arctic port Of
AleXandrovsk is finished it will be
possible to transport goods from
Tromso in Norway to the Russian
capital in five days time. A new
steamship line has already been or
ganized to take advantage of the new
route, and it is expected that the
railway will be available for use
within month or SO.
Although much further north than
Archangel, on the White sea, which is
already connected with Petrograd by
the narrow guage railway, the new
port of Alexandrovsk is free from ice
all the year around, by virtue of be-
ing situated on an inlet which feels
the effect of the gulf stream, while
Archangel is closed to navigation for
six months of the year.
One of the difficulties of the
Archangel route has been the tre-
mendous congestion of traffic, and
this will still be problem for some
time as the new railway from Alex
androVsk will at first be in a round
about way via Archangel. But di-
rect line from Alexandrovsk to Pet
rograd is to be completed as soon as
possible.
