OPTICAL ILLUSION IN THE MOUNTAIN
The following interesting extract from
private letter descriptive of a singular
optical illusion on the Catskill Mountains,
is written by an eyewitness.
"The afternoon, TUESDAY Aug. 14,)
was memorable one of the mountain.
The optical illusion of last Monday week
was re- produced, but more transcendant-
ly beautiful thanit had ever appeared be-
fore. 1t is the third time in twenty wears
that this extraordinary phenomenon has
been perceived. Mrs. A. and myself
were sitting on the rock in front of the
piazza, when she suddenly exclaimed
"Look, Look?' I did So and the whole
hotel was surrounded in the cloud before
us The whole house was assembled
Immediately, and we ran out to the point
of rock fIom which the phenomenon of
last Monday had been perceived. We
were scarcely there minute when a
beautifully arched rainbow was formed
in the cloud, exactly in the centre of
which was seen the entire group, precise
ly MS they stood on the ledge of Il e rock
1t was not merely their shadows, but the
SH'iIN lo!ii VI tdCh pSiSCN III inc group
was distinctly visible; each person saw
the whole group, not merely the reflection
of his own image. This lasted about
five minutes; when the rainbow disap.
pearcd, and the phenomenon Of Monday
last succeeded; each person saw his own
shadow of huge dimensions, reflected on
the cloud and surrounded by halo of
light, but was unable to see that of his
nelghbor. shall never in my life see
anything of the kind again, and if had
not secn it, could have formed no con-
ception of its effect; it was perfectly
thrilling, The poems of Osaian, the
Children of the Mist, the Death Fetch
Of the Germans, the Spectral Phantoms,
that We're fearful visions to less enlighten-
ed age, were all realized distinctly and
palpably before us. This visit to the
Catskills has revealved to nc more of
the wonders of nature than ell else that
Ihave seen put together"
