WHY—.
Ray$ of Color Make Rain*
bow Semicircular.
The secret of the rainbow lies in
the individual raindrops. Drops of
falling water act like n glass prism
in splitting light Into its primary col
ors. Tlie center of the bow is always
at the same angular distnnce below
the horizon that the sun is above the
horizon. Two persons standing near
each other do not see exactly the same
rainbow.
The sky is full of raindrops, but a
per3bn standing still focuses only one,
or one series; if he takes a step for
ward or backward his eyes focus a
lightly different bow.
There is a popular notion that a
rainbow Is semicircular because the
earth Is round. The shape of n rain
bow, however, scientists have found,
is due to the refraction nnd reflection
of light by the individual raindrops
and consequently has nothing to do
with the spherical form of -the earth.
In other words, the rainbow is invari
ably circulur because each color is
formed by rays which reach the ob
server at a given angle, nnd this iyigi#
remains the same for the same color.
What is known as the secondary
rainbow, often seen outside the pri
mary, is larger and fainter nnd differs
from the other in thnt the order of
the colors Is reversed. In this case
two internal reflections instead of one
occur in each drop of water.—Sunday

Why Skunk May Well Be
Held Friend of Farmer
Two of the most unconcerned ani
mals of wild life nre the porcupine and
the skunk, neither of which will lice
from larger animals. The porcupine
merely roll* himself up into a ball
with his armor of barbed quills offer
ing ample protection as many a hap
less puppy has found out to its great
sorrow. The skunk, of course, adver
tises his unapproachabiiity even at
great distances.
The skunk, despite his predelictlon
to hens' eggs when he can find a way
into a lien house, nevertheless is a
friend of the farmer, for he feeds
largely on mice and grasshoppers. He
ing largely nocturnal in his habits, the
skunk finds plenty to eat from the
hordes of bugs, salamanders and oth
er small forms of life which rest nt
night. The type of skunk common in
this nren is widely distributed from
Hudson bay to Guatemala.
Why China Honor* Lantern
Many picturesque stories have been
handed down about lanterns. The or
igin of the festival of lanterns held
annually in China is ascribed to a
popular legend.
It seems that the beautiful daugh
ter of a nobleman leaned too far over
a pond one evening and fell into tha
water. An Immediate search was in
stituted, but she could not be found
because of the darkness. The noble
man ordered lanterns by whose light
the girl was finally rescued. Iler
father was so thankful for her safe
recovery that he ordered the festival
of lanterns, a custom which has been
adhered to ever since, and which Is
tlie scene each year of brilliantly
lighted and gay processions, when
thousands of lanterns arc borne aloft.

Why Collega Cap* and GoWai
The movement to have college
seniors wear caps and gowns was es
sentially a student movement to pro
vide a senior badge and to improve
the commencement week exercises,
take the place of the dress suit and
revive the traditions of a continuing
and related university life. It was
approved particularly by the students
on account of its being uniform, which
overcame all differences of dress and
made for democracy. It was seen that
the gowns aided grace and overcame
awkwardness in speaking and that the
general effect was to make university
functions more characteristic, inter
esting and impressive to all beholders.
Why It I* “VU”
We are all familiar with “viz"
meaning “to wit," “namely,” or, most
commonly, “for example-"
“Viz" is a curious combination of
letters which came into being in It*
present form through error.

WHAT REFLATION
WOULD MEAN
By Professor G. F. Warren, of
Cornell Univfer-ity, one of the
nation’s foremost economists.
(Continued from last week.)
The effect of rising prices is
the same regardless of the
cause. If for any reason the
price level is restored, it does
not mean that all prices will
rise equally. Many prices have
not declined, or have declined
little. Restoring the price lev
el would relieve them of the
necessity of declining. The
major ones are debts and tax
es. If commodity prices were
raised, buying would begin, be
cause rising prices causes buy
ing. Jobs would be available.
Houses would be in demand.
The debts and taxes on the
houses and farms could be
paid, and the debts would not
have to be cut by bankruptcy.
The former amount of life in
surance would be desired.
Many charges, such as freight
rates, doctors’ fees, telephone
rates, and the like, are already
adjusted to the price level that
would be established. They
would not rise, but would be
relieved from falling.
Costs of distribution would
lise very little. Therefore,
prices paid to farmers and
other pioducers would rise
much more than retail prices.
This would bring farm prices
into adjustment with other
prices. It is sometimes said
that two steps are necessary—
first, restore the price level,
and second, restore the relat
ionships of farm prices to other
prices. If the first step is tak
en, the second follows automat
ically.
Prices of basic commodities,
such as copper, corn, wheat,
and cotton, would rise very de
cidedly because they are so far
below the price level that
would be restored. The de
clines in values of homes and
farms would be stopped. In
general, the prices that have
not yet declined would be re
lieved from declining, and
those that have declined would
•••videlicet" meaning “you may Know. •
The “z” In “viz” really does not
belong there. Its appearance Is due to
Its resemblance to the sign of ab
breviation which was used after the
two letters “vi.”
This was so similar to the tetter
“z” that It was mistaken for it, .and
through common wrong usage. It re
mained in the language.—Exchange*.
Why “Adam’s Apple’’
Adam’s apple, a term applied to the
most prominent part, of the throat,
having the appearance of a s wet ling,
is based on the superstition that a
piece of the forbidden fruit stuck in
Adam’s throat and caused the lump.—
Kansas City Star.
- Why Manatee Is “Sea Cow’’
It is because of the manatee’s man
ner of feeding and the fact that It
lives entirely on plants, grasses am)
other vegetation that may be found
springing up from the bottom of the
shallow bays which it frequents, tlint
it is sometimes called the sea cow.
Why Called “Pianoforte’’
The first piano was named “piano
forte,” after the Italian worde “soft*
aed “loud,” because It could be flajetf

! be restored.
Probably nothing is more uni
; versally wished for than a rise
in commodity prices. We ar4
willing to have the Farm Board
buy wheat and cotton, pile tar
I iff on tariff, lend billions of
| government money—all in the
hope that commodity price may
rise. But when any proposal is
put forward that will raise the
whole price level, it is common
1 y considered sacriligeous.
There is probably no other sub
ject on which so many people
have formed positive convict
ions without scientific evi
dence.
When a city is on fire there
are only two ways to proceed.
One is to let it burn itself out
and get ready for the next gen
eration to build a new city; the
other is to attempt to put out
the fire, even at the risk of
some damage from water.
Perhaps I should mention a
third way of trying to dispose
of it by saying that it does not
exist.
Since the general level of
commodity prices is the recip
rocal of the value of money,
there is no way to raise the
price level except as the value
of money declines or is low
ered by law.”

ation Means.”
ALASKA NOTES
The Fairbanks city Council
recently voted to set aside $100
to be used in establishing a
community relief fund.
Judge James Wickersham,
former Alaska Delegate to
Congress, has left Washington
for the Pacific Coast where he
will spend some time before re
turning to Juneau ibo resume
practice of law. Will A. Steel,
who served as the Judge's sec
retary in Washington, will re
main in the capital for some
time before returning to Alas
ka.
Balto, famous Alaska sled
dog, which led the diptheria
anti-toxin race to Nome in 19
25, is slowly dying in the
Brookside- Zoo in Cleveland,
Ohio, according to reports. Bal
to is over 14 years old.
WHAT’S NEW
A torch that can melt and cut
steel at any depth under water
has been perfected by the Unit
ed States navy.
A new analyzing device de
tects magnetic impurities in as
bestos, mica, glass, sands and
other materials.
An alloy composed of tung
sten, carbon and cobalt, which
is hard enough to scratch sap
phire, is now used for the teeth
of saws that have to cut thru
wood treated with fire resist
ing or preserving chemicals.
