WHY Rays of Color Make Rainbow Semicircular. '1 he secret of the rainbow lies in the individual raindrops. Drops of 1 ailing water act like a glass prism in splitting light into its primary colors. The center of the bow is always at the same angular distance 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 person standing still focuses only one, or one series; if he takes a step forward or backward his eyes focus a .‘lightly different bow. 'I here is a popular notion that a rainbow is semicircular because the earth is round. The shape of a rainbow, however, scientists have found, is due to the refraction and reflection of light by the individual raindrops ami consequently has nothing to do with the spherical form of the earth. In other words, the rainbow is invariably circular because each color is formed by rays which reach the observer at a given angle, and this angle remains the same for the same color. M hat is known as the secondary rainbow, often seen . utside the primary, is larger and fainter and differs from the other in that the order of the colors is reversed. In this ease two internal reflections Instead of one occur in each drop of water.—Sunday Magazine of the Philadelphia Record. Why Skunk May Well Be Held Friend of Farmer 'f'wo of the most unconcerned animals of wild life are the porcupine and the skunk, neither of which will flee from larger animals. The porcupine merely rolls himself up into a ball with his armor of barbed quills offering ample protection as many a hapless puppy has found out to its great sorrow. The skunk, of course, advertises jiis unapproaehalility even at great distances. The skunk, despite his predeliction to hens’ eggs when he can find away into a hen house, nevertheless is a friend of the farmer, for lie feeds largely on mice and grasshoppers. Being largely nocturnal in his habits, the skunk finds plenty to eat from the hordes of bugs, salamanders and other small forms of Hfe which rest at night. The type of skunk common in this area is widely distributed from Hudson bay to Guatemala. Why China Honors Lantern Many picturesque stories have been I anded down about lanterns. The origin of the festival of lanterns hehl annually in China is ascribed to a popular legend. It seems that the beautiful daughter of a nobleman leaned too far over a poud one evening anil f»*ll into the water. An Immediate search was instituted. but she could not be found because of the darkness. The nobleman ordered lat.terns by whose light the girl was finally rescued. Her father was so thankful for her safe recovery that he ordered the festival of lanterns, a custom which has been adher, d to ever since, and w hich Is the scene each year of brilliantly lighted and gay processions, when thousands of lanti-rns are borne aloft. —Kansas City star. Why College Caps and Gowns The movement to have college seniors wear caps and gowns was essentially a student movement to provide 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 wa^ approved particularly by the students on account of its being uniform, which overcame all differences of dress and

Why It Is “Viz” We are all familiar with “viz” meaning “to wit.’’ “namely,” or, most commonly, “.'or example.” “Viz' : s a curious combination of letters which came into being in its present form through error. Actually, it stands for the Latin “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- । hreviation which was used after the two letters “vi.” This was so similar to the letter “z” that it was mistaken for it, and through common wrong usage, it remained in tile 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 swelling, 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 manner of feeding and the fact that it lives entirely on plants, grasses and other vegetation that may be found springing up from the bottom of the shallow bays which it frequents, that It is sometimes called the sea cow. Why Called “Pianoforte” The first piano was named “piano forte.” after the Italian words “soft” and “loud,” h> cause it could be played either way? U, S.

Y. i Ability of Philadelphia Lawyers There appear to be many different I opinions as to the origin of the expres 1 sien, "It would take a Philadelphia ; lawyer to straighten it out.” The pro । prietor of a newspaper was indicted | f<>r criminal libel and was successfully i defended by Andrew Hamilton, a ’ Philadelphia lawyer, in 1735. The case was epoch-making, as Hamilton estab lished for all time the principles of free press and free speech, to which the law of libel should be forever sub servient. The New England folks have a saying: ’Three Philadelphia lawyers are a match ? or the very devil himself.” This is taken from the Sa lem Observer of March 13. 1824. Experts look into the question why we live; average citizen might attend to the “how we live” problem.
