Why All-Day "Sunseti* , in Antarctic Regions * Most of us think of Antarctic "scenv ery" as barren and colorless, but W. '•* * . >C. Haines, of the United States weath- : ' er bureau, who was meteorologist r with the Byrd Antarctic expedition, -says that gorgeous colors and queer, figures appeal in the Antarctic ^ : When the sun skirts the horizon be-J /•'/"; ^fore disappearing for the long poIai*§H ; ' night, there fire brilliant "sunsets" lasting all day. The colors most often >seon are red, orange, yellow, violet, \and green. The Aurora, Australis, "'/' :southeru counterpart of the northern '/.,•//lights, makes bands of varicolored lights running from the horizon up to • - the zenith. Different kinds of rings' ;v sare formed by tiny ice particles in the , . fair breaking up the sunlight and moon- "* .light. There may be a circle around- , the sun or moon, or a cross, or a cross • within a circle. '.Sometimes the geo- ,-i.'metric figures are more, complicated' and on the rims-of the circle are parts ('-.lof other circles,, with streaks of light.- y... .-railed sun dogs on each side of the" ' snn. These designs vary, says Mr. Haines, because of the way the crystals of Ice in the air.are turned toward thelight : > . Mr. and Mrs. Jack Geary and son, Donald, spent Saturday afternoon at McHenry.

Wlijr "Lint" h Oeiaa , The United States coast and geodetic survey says the phenomenon of ,a line in the ocean, on one side of which the water, is rough, while on' the other it is smooth, is one that is? frequently observed at sea. The cause? ^ils usually ascribed to currents, aH though there may be other reasons^ /involved. The edge of the Gulf streams is often ffiarked by a very definite^ line with an abrupt change in temperature and color of water. If the wind is against the current, the stream will be rough and choppy, while the adjacent water is comparatively smooth.?" A line film of-oil produces a surface; known as a "slick." Along the edge ofthis "slick" there-is often a distinct! line.
