Byrd's South I ole monoplane was tested in the vicinity of the Greenville woods Thursday and it was suggested this might be the plane residents there reported hearing. Floyd Bennett, Byrd's pilot, flew ’he plane from St. Albans, Vt„ to brandmere, Que., and it was considered likely he might have flown off course and gone by the way of the woods.

TO HOLD LENTEN REVIVAL SERVICES (CONTINUED t nos PAGE OSEI will assist Prof. Gerber in making the music a strong feature of the services. The church has been getting ready for this meeting and is organized to do personal work. There will be no Monday evening meeting this week, because of the Community Training School and other conflicts. Beginning with Tuesday evening, there will be week-night services each night, commencing at 7:30 o’clock. There will also be afternoon meetings, beginning Tuesday afternoon, at 2 o’clock. These meetings are especially for Christians who desire a deeper spiritual life and to be better qualified for service. The entire membership is being specially urged to attend the opening of the revival Sunday morning and evening; and it is hoped there will be large audiences at both services of the day. Prof. Gerlier will have charge of the service of song tomorrow and will render special selections. - The public is cordially invited, insofar as it will not interfere with their own church obligations, to attend any of these services, the object of which is to build up a definite spiritual life in Christians and to lead men and women to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. o Washington-To-Panama Plane Wrecked In Mexico Washington, Mar. 17. —(|J.R)—Assistant Secretary of War Davison advised the war department today that one of the planes used by him and General Fechet so rtheir WashingtonPanama flight, was wrecked yesterday at Minatitan, Mexico.

D. H. S. TEACHER EXPLAINS HALOS Science Instructor Discusses Phenomena Noticed Here Thursday E. Howard Marshall, Instructor of science In Decatur high school, has given the following explanation of the rainbows ami white rings noticed in the sky last Thursday noon: "As 1 have made a study of meteorology one of my hobbies, and as many people are curious about the cause for the ruinbows anil white rings in the sky Thursday, 1 will try to give a scientific theory. "The bright colored ring (with the aim at its center) was a true rainbow caused by sunlight passing through mist or rain, and thus dispersing the colors. In the formation of the usual rainbow the light is reflected back by the drops, and the observer of the bow has the sun at his back. But this form of the rainbow is a complete < ircle and the light is refracted, or bent, by the water, but not reflected. The same form of rainbow may be seen at Niagra Falls by looking up through the mist toward the sun. or even by a good lawn sprinkler throwing a spray between the observer and the sun. "The lighter rainbow which intersected tlie bright one was only an image of the bright one seen through a layer of cold air above warm air. And the other two partial rainbows wet? also the reflection or mirage [from the first one, mirrored by a layer of cold air. This was the unusual ; part of the phenomena, but is very common in desert lands, even the images of lakes and trees being reflected in the sky by layers of warm and cold air, many miles from where they actpally are. “For the large white circle I have found no explanation, but for myself I suppose it to have been caused by a column of warm air rising and exi panding through a break in the layer of cold air above it. The white clouds which formed the circle were produced by drops of water condens-
