1. What Is this "green flash"
at sunset sometimes mentioned?
The green flash Is an effect
not seen once in a lifetime by
most people and several times
by a very few. When the sun is
setting over a distant horizon
and seen through unusually
clear air, Just as the last thin
rim of the elobe is dlsnnoearini!.
It will sometimes flash out for
a second or more in the most
gorgeous green imaginable. At
times the trees along the horizon
will flare with green after the
sun is entirely gone. On other
occasions when conditions seem
equally perfect, no such nhe
nomenon Is seen. It is a pris
matic effect, and also occurs at
sunrise.
2. In what part of tho sky do
"moon rainbows" occur?
This is another rare phenom
enon. The present writer has
ooserved only one. Many speak
of the colored circles of rather
small angular diameter often
seen around the moon as "lunar
rainbows." These are coronas
and are due to the diffraction of
light by water droplets in low
clouds. Real lunar rainbows are
caused by refraction and reflec
tion, as are daytime rainbows,
and are seen in the oposite part
of the sky from the moon.
In order that such a bow may
appear, the moon must be very
bright (at or near the full phase)
and not very high in the sky;,
a copious shower must be falling
in the direction oposito that of
the moon; and the air between
the moon and the shower must
be unusually clear. Then a
splendid rainbow with all the
prismatic colors of a similar
daytime phenomenon, but not so
brilliant, will span the sky in
an entrancing arc.
3. When a thin new moon ap
pears in the west, we may often
see a darker portion filling out
the entire circle. What causes
this?
This is due to earthshine fall
ing on the night side of the
moon, that part which is turned
away from the sun. When the
moon is "new" to us, the earth is
"full" as 'seen from the moon.
Tho earth's brightness is then
about 40 limes greater than full
moonlight is to us, so makes
this side visible to us. Through
telescopes, considerable surface
detail may then be seen on- the
moon. - ,
4. How far out over the ocean
may one see from the shore?
IX there were no atmosphere
to cause refraction and if the
ocean were perfectly smooth,
then if H is the height in feet
of the eye above the shore line
and D. Is the distance In miles
to the water horizon, we may
use this formula:
i The square root of 32 H
equals D. When H is five feet
D is 2.74 miles; when H is 100
feet, D is 12.2 miles, etc. Re
fraction of the air makes these
distances about one-twelfth great

The proud possessors of "stars and bars" help
to form the solid foundation of a railroad's per
sonnel. Because of their intimate knowledge of
operating rules, equipment and facilities ... the
many situations and problems they have met
and solved . . . they are of tremendous assist
ance to younger men.
Among the 65,000 Union Pacific employes
there are approximately 7,000 "old timers"
representing all departments-r-with twenty "or
more years of service. These experienced em
ployes have, in a large measure, been respon
sible for the enviable record maintained by
Union Pacific in the face of wartime conditions.
The transportation of many thousand trainloads
of troops and materials over the-Strategic Mid
dle Route, uniting the East with the West Coast,
calls for the wisdom and cod judgment of mai
turity coupled with the ambition and tireless
energy of younger employes. ' v
Union Pacific is proud of all its employes, re
gardless of length of service, for the job they
are doing to help speed the Lour of victory.
