MAINE GOSSIP.

A writer in one of the Portland papers
says: 1.-THE summer equipment OF the
Maine Central is simply magnificent. The
express train upon which came to Port
land, made up largely Of palace cars max
ing only Ave brief stops between Augusta
and Portland. was fne specimen Of modern
irst-clsss railway trains. The heavy engine
moved it up the heaviest grades without
apparent effort. The only disadvantage in
riding in such \ train 10 that velocity per.
mits only occasional glimpses Of the beauti-
full scenery along the banks Of the
Kenpebec."

system American hogs, instead Of being
fed on siops and garbage, as they are in
Europe, ''are raised a. means OF mar

THE EARTH's CURVATURE.
IL Amounts to About Seven Inches to the
Statute Mile.

Amounts
Statute Mile.
Generally speaking, we say that the
curvature OF the earth amounts to about
seven inches to the statute mile; more
exactly, it is 9. 90 inches to the mile, or
1862 inches for geographical mile.
Any amount of artificial assistance with
optical instruments does not make 1t
possible for the eye to perceive the least
iota of curvature, even though the gaze
is directed from the highest eminence.
This is because the vision is not capable
of comparing heights and distances.
The effect of the known curvature of
the globe may be illustrated in the fol-
lowing manner: Take down your globe,
place book, pane of glass, or even o
ruler against it-either of the two OBJ
ject first named being best adapted to
such an experiment; you will observe
instantly that the book or pane only
touches in one point, the globes sur
face falling away in all directions from
the point Of contact. Now suppose the
oceans surface to be calm and frozen
and q sheet of glass many miles square
laid upon 1t At one mile from the
place Of contact the glass would stand
out nearly eight inches (this measure
ment being upon the ocean, the mile is
nautical one). in fact. will lack but
.03s OF an inch Of being eight
inches from the pane; at three
miles it will be six feet. at
nine miles fifty-four 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 dis
tance. The atmosphere plays an i'm
portant part in estimating 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 ap-
pear higher than they would II there
were no atmosphere. Careful measure
ments have shown that the error from
refraction averages more than one
seventh Of that from curvature. The
rule, therefore, commonly used for cor
rcction of curvature and refraction Is:
Square the number of miles and take
four-sevenths of 1t for the correction in
feet Thus, II an object is visible at a
distance Of five miles we may know thai
its height is at least fourteen and one
third feet Or, II the height of visible
object is known-say one hundred feet
take one-fourth Of this, multiply by
seven and take the square root of the
product (Which gives the distance of the
object), in this case fraction Of over
thirteen miles. A man swimming in the
ocean can perceive tower two hundred
feet high and nineteen miles away as a
mere speck on the horizon; but If the
man were elevated one hundred feet
above the surface of the water he could
plainly perceive tower one hundred
feet high at distance Of twenty-six
miles.-St LOUIS Republic.
