RAINBOW is OF REAL VALUE
Spectrum Analysis Shows What the
Distant Stars Are Com
posed OF.

While IL Is true that the beautiful
colors displayed by the rainbow are
due to the passage Of light through
raindrops, the popular conception that
the drops are directly in line between
the sun and the bow is incorrect. The
light enters the raindrop and is re-
fracted back to form the bow. In this
passage through the drop the different
cclors are produced which, blended,
make our ordinary white light.
Two persons standing side by side
see two different bows, though they
present the same appearance.
Untold centuries after men had
viewed this wonderful display of color
In the sky it was discovered that light
thus separated into Its component
parts had story of great interest to
tell. BY passing light through care.
fully prepared prisms and charting the
lines, by heating to incandescence va.
rious substances and passing the light
through the same prisms to the chart
It became possible to trace and iden-
tify the substance incandescent at the
source of light. Thus by spectrum
analysis not only the suns light but
also that of the stars as well Is made
to tell the story of the material of
which they are composed.
Speaking broadly, It has been found
that these bodies separated by tremen'
dous distances from us are made OF
substances known as component parts
of our own globe. The rainbow, long
the mystery of the sky, has proved the
bow of promise in leading to very
definite analysis Of all light.

He found her alone, sitting In the

out her hand to him shyly.
"Oh, Doctor Edwards, didn't know

He sat down beside her, smiling guilt

both were silent, struck by the same

NEW YORK. Sept 25.-One after
~ noon in the woman's day court
Of New York is enough to turn the
average person into a profound
pessimist. He leaves It in a state
Of settled gloom uncomfortably
conscious Of the futility Of existence
in general and Of vice erusades in
particular.
The Women's Dar court is a con-
tinuance OF the Women's Night court
Of New York. The sessions used to
be held at, night, because this was
the time the majority Of the women
were arrested. The court is IN a
downtown building, which was form
erly a church. The magistrates
bench is directly in front of a carved
pulpit and the sunlight which occa-
sionally lights up the faces Of the Of
tenders filters thrOuh stained glass
windows. Even the benches are pews.
The culprits are brought through a
vestry room, where the church's choir
was wont TO foregather.
A Typical Case.
The first case the other afternoon
was that Of a good looking young
girl Of 16. who was brought to the
court by her mother. The mother

ALASKA LEGISLATOR
MAKES LONG TRIP
TRAVELS BY DOG TEAM, ON
FOOT, BY RAIL AND BY BOAT
TO REACH CAPITAL

NENANA, Alaska. -, Attendance
upon sessions of the legislature in
Alaska involves more in the north
than merely boarding train for a
certain destination. Take, for ex-
ample, the case of Representative
elect Almer Rydeen, of Candle, Sew
ard Peninsula.
Rydeen made the long overland
journey from Candle to Nanaha by
dog-team. From here he will take
passage on the government railroad
to the end of steel, thence continue
by dog-team to Talkeetna, the end of
steel in the Anchorage division. At
Talkeetna he will again entrain to
Seward, where he can take passage
on a boat for Juneau.
This new route from the Seward
Peninsula, however-via Nanana and
Broad Pass-has cut the old "mush-
ing" distance from interior Alaska
points to the coast considerably, and
affords travellers cheap and easy
route of travel.
