Pipe While Driving-Hits Ditch
Several Injuries

A Ford car owned and driven by
Arthur Drager turned turtle on High
way No. % just east Of the village
of Grey Eagle Sunday afternoon
completely wrecking it..
The accident happened about 1880
P. NJ, while the young men, all resi-

derstands that Drager the driver OF
the machine attempted to light his
pipe and released "Lizzie" from his
control and the car headed for the
ditch. In attempting to regain control
Drager cramped too fast which re-
suited in the upset.
Mr.. Drager was the most serious,

other minor cuts and bruises was
unconscious for some time. Rob

GARRETT P. SERVISS TELLS HOW
NATURE PAINTS RAINBOW
Little Drops of Water on Edge of a Shower and
Sunshine Does Trick.

drops of water in the edge of a
shower that is Illuminated by un-
broken sunshine which strikes it
from one side. You never see
rainbow unless you have your
back toward the sun. The rain
bow is always in the opposite
part of the sky from the sun. The
falling drops reflect sunlight to
your eyes after having first re-
fracted it (bent it in its course
through them), and then dis
persed its constituent colors, so
that as the light comes back to
you it's red, yellow and blue, or
violet rays appear separately.
A rainbow is a part of a circle,
about AZ degrees in radius, and
concentric with the point in the
sky opposite to the sun. That is
the angle at which the greatest
amount of refracted light re
flected from the raindrops reaches
the eye. The reflection occurs at
the back of the drops, which acts
like a mirror for the light that
has passed through from the
front.
The rainbow is about two de-
grees wide. 1t is red on the out
side and blue, or violet, on the
inside edge. The central portion
is yellowish. This distribution Of
colors comes from the fact that
the red waves are the least re-
fracted, and the violet waves the
most refracted, while the yellow
and other colors of the spectrum
come between them.
The action Of the ralndrops in
refracting, rejecting, and dispers-
ing a ray Of sunlight is best ex-
planned by the accompanying cut.
When the sunlight enters the
drop its colors are all combined
in white ray. But the water of
the raindrop refracts (bends) the
red least, the yellow more, and
the blue most. Consequently
when they strike the back of the
drop they are separated, as shown,
and being reflected. they pass
back through the drop. and on
issuing from it into the air are
again slightly refracted.
One drop does not send all the
colors to the eye of the observer,
but some send red. some yellow
and some Dlue NOf VlOleO, dCCCIu-
ing to the angle at which the
particular colored ray reaches the
eve. The red comes from drops
higher than those which send the
blue, the angle for the red being
about AZ degrees and for the blue
about 40 degrees; consequently
the outside, or upper side, of the
bow is cOlored red, and the in
side, or lower side, blue.
Sometimes a secondary, fainter
rainbow is seen outside the pri-
mary one. and this has the red
inside and the blue outside.
The arch of the rainbow is
higher in the sky, and more near
lv a semi-Circle in proportions as
the sun is nearer the horizon.
This Is because the center of the
bow must be on a line with the
center of the sun and the eye Of
the observer. Small rainbows
seen in the mist of waterfalls
may appear as complete circles if
the observer stands on q bank
with the sun behind his head in
line with the center Of the rain
bow.

bride chooses not to wear gloves
but with a formal dress usually
gloves are worn by the bride. If
