the clouds had cleared and let the sun
shine for a little while, and when rain
Megan to fall again the,, rainbow was
seen across the northeastern Sky, The
colors of the spectrum were. strikingly„
bright, in- contrast to the dull 'March
background of clouds, trees and
earth and one was tempted to seek
the traditional "pot o' gold"' at one
foot of the rainbow which appeared to,
Bnter •the ground a few yards away,
Besides.the ordinary or primary bow,
whiclr is formed by two refractions
and one reflection of the sun's rays,in
drops of falling rain, according , to
scientists, there was also seen, eater.'
for to it, another one,' called the se-
,condary,rainhow, concentric to the
first and separated from it by a small.
space.. It was much: fainter and the
colors arranged in reverse order from
those of the primary 'bow, an( is
caused by two refractions and two re-
flections of the sun's rays. 'Gradually,
as the rain cloud moved• away, both
bows became fainter and 'first one and
then the other disappeared,

P, ;Sills: Lion Frank Sills- occupied
the chair and after the usual excellent
luncheon, the Lions were entertained
by seeing some seventy pictures de-
pleting actual working conditions of
the Post Office service, thrown on
the screen. :Each view was accom-
panied by explanatory notes and
these, combined with a short talk on
'the Inland Post by Postmaster Sills,
provided •a most' instructive hour for
the mein'bers of the Club: The
'fact that the Pos t Office. De-
partment • is leaving no stone un-
turned to educate the Public with a
view.towards giving even better
service than that now provided,. was
fully explained and the various ways
in which the public can assist,were
amply demonstrated. 'The unanimous
opinion, expressed. by 'the large at-
tendance, was that all had learned
things about the Bost Office De-
partment unknown to them before
and undoubtedly the knowledge gain-
ed world' be of benefit in the future.

it is an attempt to deprive the people
