FROM A LATE LONDON PAFKR.
THE MIRAGE.
Monge gives the foil wing defcriptiou
of a lingular optical illulion, called the
Mirage :—
" The country of Lowei Egypt is rtearK
a level plain, which lofes itfelf, like the ft a
in the clouds at the extremity of the hori
zon. Its uniformity is only interrupted bv
a tew eminences, either natural or facti
tious, on which are lituated the villages,
thus kept out of the inundations of the
Nile; and thefe eminences, leis ufual or
the fkirts of the defart, though frequently
to be feen on the Delta, and which appcai
like a dark line on a very tranfparent fky,
are rendered ftill turther vilible by the datf
trees c»;id fycamores, oftner to be met with
n fuch fituations than elfewhere.
" Both morning atiu evening the af e£i
of the country is exadUy as it ought to be ,
and between you and the lalt villages whi; li
orefent themfelves you perceive nothing bu*
land ; but when the furfaCe i f the earth if.
fjfficiently heated by the rays of the fun,
and indeed until it begins to get cold to
wirds the evening, the land no longe;
leems to have the fame extenlion, but to be
terminated, to within the diflance of r.
league, by a general inundation.
Ik T e villages plr.ced beyond that appeai
like fo many ii'lands (tationed in the middle
of a great lake, from v hii h the fpr£\a or b
eparatrd by ;■ n extent of land, mo e nt
'efs con iderabl ac cording to circ umftanc e
Y u then b hi Id the image of each of tht l"e
villages reflei\<*a exadlly as if it wefeexhi
bited on a clear furface of water, with only
his differ ence, that as the reprefentation is
at a (ouftderable dift.mce, the obiedls a:
inv fible, and the m lies alone diftindt ; ii
iddition to this, the edges of the reverC'd
image are rath-r ill deiigmed, and fuch as
they would be if the furface of the n-feft
ing medium happened to be a little a i
-11 ted.
| 4< In proportion as one approaches a
village, which appears to be placed in the
mid ft ot an inundation, the margin of the
water feems to recede, and the arm of tin
lea, feparating you as it were from the vil
lage, {brinks hick by di gre s:it at length
difippears entirely, and the phanomen > J
which now ceafes in refpedl to the full vil
lage, is inltantly re-produced by a new one,
which you dilcover at due diltance in the
rear."
