Show The weather is so monotonously excellent that J. Cecil Alter launched into a discussion Monday of colors and beautiful beau-tiful sunshine and soapy water. That brilliant orange sun about Trlv 8 a. m., for instance that, said the ' III XS federal meteorologist, can be ex- plained by smoke particles in- the 11 Anf mqh " They scatter the shorter rays iVCClllld ot sunlight, the violets and blues, and accentuate the longer rays, the yellows, oranges, reds. Thus the sun's Monday morning color. Fill a bottle with soapy water, he said, and the soap acts the same as the smoke particles. Hold it to the sunlight, and you get a deep orange color. But hold it toward the sun at an angle of more than 90 degrees and the water appears blue. "By the way," said Mr. Alter, almost yawning, "weather will continue clear, little temperature change." Sunday's maximum was 51; Monday's minimum, 31; mean, 40; no departure from normal. rr : " ! H |
