Nevada County picayune., 1890-11-20

Among the many odd objects in that department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art which is especially devoted to American antiquities, says the New York Star, is curious looking head, about the size of a man s fist, and surmounted with a tremendous mass of long black hair. The face, which very apparently is a human face, is almost as black and shining as polished ebony, and the features are considerably shrivelled out of shape. The upper and lower lips are pierced, and long cords, once white, but now considerably stained, pass through them, and hold them close together. The head is that of an AZtec-supposed to have belonged to the anatomy of an Aztec princess-and long centuries ago it was reduced to this small size by some means not now known. The interior of the head is empty-not different in this respect from the heads of some modern and living wo- men. The brain and skull in some manner were destroyed and removed, leaving only the dried flesh and skin. A young woman who had been look ing at it long and intently asked the curater of the gallery many ques- tions about it, and finally this one |:
 Why doyou suppose the woman s mouth was fastened shut in that way?"
 "I am sure l do not know, madam. Perhaps lher friends were afraid she might keep on talking after she was dead.
 The woman walked away without a word, without even thanking the museum man for his information.

Curvature of the Earth.

Generally speaking, we say that he curvature of the earth amounts t1 about seven inches to the statute mile; more exactly. it is 6.99 inches 70 the mile. or 1902 inches for q geo raphjcul mile. Any amount of artificial assistance with optical in- >trumeuts does not make it possible for the eye to perceive the least iota of curvature, even though the gaze is directed from the highest emi- hence. This is because the vision is not capable of comparing heights ana distances. The effect of the known curvature of the globe may be illustrated in the following man. ucr: Take down your globe, place book, pane of glass or even ruler against it-either of the two objects first named being best adapted to such an experiment; you will ob- serve instantly that the book or pane only touches in one point, the globe s surface falling away in all directions from the point of contact. Now suppose the earth's surface to be calm and frozen and a sheet of glass many miles square laid upon it. At one mile from the place of contact the glass would stand out nearly eight inches; (this measurement be- ing upon the ocean, the mile is q nautical one); in fact, will lack but .038 of an inch of being eight inch es from the pane; at three miles 1t will be six feet; at nine miles, 54 feet, and so on. The number of feet of depression is equal to two- thirds of the square of the number of miles for any observable distance. The atmosphere plays an important part in the visibility of objects; on this account part of this depression must be cancelled to make good the phenomenon of refraction, which causes objects of all kinds to appear higher than they would if there were no atmosphere. Careful meas urements have shown that the error from refraction averages more than one seventh of that from curvature. The rule, therefore, commonly used for correction of curvature and re- fraction is: Square the number of miles and take four -sevenths of it for the correction in feet. Thus, if an object is visible at distance of five miles we may know that it's height is at least li5 feet. Or, if the height of visible object IS kuown-say loo feet-take one- fourth of this, multiply by seven and take the square root of the product (which gives the distance of the ob- ject)-in this case a fraction over 3 miles. A man swimming in the ocean can perceive tower 200 feet high and nineteen miles away as a mere speck on the horizon; but if a man was elevated 100 feet above the survace of the water he could plainly perceive 8 tower 100 feet high at q distance of 26 miles.
