Refraction Helps
You Watch Sun
Below Horizon
no YOU know that you can see the

no YOU know that you can see the
sun after it has really set below
the horizon? 1t sounds strange, but
it is true, and the reason is the same
thing that makes stick appear to be
bent when it is partly immersed in
water.
Light rays, in passing from one
medium to another-as from air to
water-are bent slightly in a new
direction This is known as refrac-
tion. In outer space, beyond the at
mosphere, there is no refraction, but
as soon as the light rays enter the
atmosphere. they are bent. And the
curve which they make enables you
to see the sun when it is really be-
low the horizon.
1t Is an interesting experiment to
immerse stick in water and see how
it seems to bend just at the surface.
In the same way, if you look at an
object through ice it will appear to
be slightly distorted.
The principle of refraction Is used
in making all sorts of lenses. which
bend rays of light in different ways
for different purposes. So if it
weren't for that stick seeming to be
bent in the water, eye glasses and
great telescopes would be impossible.

to orange growers in this country, be-
cause Spanish fruit is still for sale in

Montgomery Players Set

The Montgomery Players will pre-
sent the second major production of
this season, "Bird In Hand" Satur-
day evening, December 7th at The
Leland Junior High School.
"Bird In Hand" an immensely pop
ular success, already well known on
two continents, is among the most at
tractive comedies. In inimitable style,
the poet-dramatist shows how Joan,
the daughter of old Thomas Greenleaf,
proprietor Of The Bird In Hand Inn,
and Gerland Arnwood, the squire's
son, fall in love, to Greenleaf's cons
formation. But Joan sees no harm in
the young man. However, her father
takes things in his own hands and
drives his daughter home from a
meeting of the young people, thereby
arousing the inmates of The Inn, who
discuss the situation and help Green
leaf make his decision. At last the
Mutation is cleared up when the
youths father makes proper formal
proposal.

Diamond Jim" To

Edward Arnold To Portray One
Of Americas Most Inter-

How did James Buchanan Brady,
super-salesman, the man who made
the gay COS gay, come by his glitter
ing nickname? 1t was not because at
the height of his wealth, he owned 80
different sets of jewelry, worth ST.
100000 but because early in his ca
reer, when he owned only a modest
collection of diamonds, one of his
customers identified this travelling
salesman of railroad equipment to
another of his customres as Diamond
Jim," and the name stuck.
The picture will be shown at the
Milo Theatre on December and 6.
Diamond Jim," started his famous
jewelry collection with the purchase
of 500 diamond ring. When he died
he possessed one set which cost $175,-
900 and twenty-nine others which
brought the total collection up to
value Of $2,0OO,0Oo.
Diamond Jim" never wore the
same set of jewelry for two consecu-
tive days, so that Universal found it
necessary, in recreating his character
on the screen in the person of Edward
Arnold, to spend several thousand
dollars recreating perfectly the valu-
able jewels. The task was placed on
the shoulders of Parker Morell, the
manufacturing jeweler who wrote the
book, Diamond Jim," best-seller.
Although Universal found that none
of the pieces was in existence today,
there were photographs which were
used as guides.
The jewels, made in New York City,
were shipped, heavily insured, to the
Pacific Coast and a special safe was
installed in Arnold's dressing room to
make sure that none were stolen.
Guards were also placed on the sets
when Arnold was working.

"Vermilion" Derivation

The color "vermilion" is derived from
the Latin "vermilicus" - translated
shining worm-or thirty-fold color"
Because of its brilliance, vermilion has
always been used to signify power. The
ancient Romans used the hue to color
the faces of their statues of deities.
