when a Man Can See zoo Miles.

About 30 miles in every direction is the
distance man can see when standing, on
a clear day, on the peak of the highest
mountain, say at a height of II, Cos feet, or
a little over five miles above the level of
the sea. An observer must be at height
OF 6,661 feet above sea level to see objects
at a distance of 100 miles. The distance in
miles at which an object upon the surface
of the earJh is visible is equal TO the square
root of one and a half times the height of
the observer in feet above the sea level.
Some allowance has 20 he made for the
effect of atmospheric refractiou. but as
the refraciion varies ut different heights,
and is affected by the various states of the
weather, 10 precisely accurate figures for
general purposes can be given. Probably
one-fourteenth to one-tenth of the distance
given by the formula would have to be de-
Quoted, owing to the refraction of the at
mosphere. Tit-Bits.

Sounds Focused by ships Sails.


The widespread sails of a ship, when
rendered concave by gentle breeze, are
most excellent conductors of sound. The
celebrated DR.. Arnott relates the following
circumstances as practical proof of this
assertion; "A ship was once sailing along
the coast of Brazil, far ont of sight of land.
Suddenly several of the crew, while walk
ing along the deck, noticed that when pass
ing and repassing particular spot they
always heard with great distinctness the
sound of bells Ginning sweet music. as
though being rung but a short distance
away. Dumfounded by this phenomenon,
they quic KY communicated the discovery
TO their mates, but none of them were able
TO solve the enigma as to the origin of these
seemingly mysterious sounds
Several months afterward, upon return
ing to Brazil, some of the listeners deter
mined TO satisfy their curiosity Accord
lngly they mentioned the circumstance tn
their frie nds, and were Informed that at
the time when .he sounds were heard the
bells in he cathedral of San Salvador. on
the coast, had been ringing to celebrate a
least held in honor of one OF the saints
Their sound, wonderful to relate, favored
by gent G, steady breeze, had travelled a
distance al upward of 100 miles over the
smooth water. and had been brought to a
locus by he sails at the particular locality
IN which he sweet sounds were first heard.

An Unsaiisfed Query.

You have blown out a candle. no doubt.
Where did the flame go that vanished be-
fore your reath? As easily swered, and
more SO, perhaps. than the world old, time
worn query, where does the vital fame go
when brea he'd upon by the wind of death ?
One moment here, active, intense; the next
-where2 Where does God store these in
telligences whose record is thus effaced in
midforce: When the gardener plucks roses
he carries hem to the banquet hall; when
the harves1 er gathers in the ripened grain
he stores it in barns; when the vineyard
yields its grapes the fruit is turned into
wine; only death, chief gardener, harvester
and vineys I'd master of all, is dumb before
our eager questioning.-C Herald.
