The longest distance ever cncom.
passed by the human vision. so far MS
the records go, is Isl miles. between
the Uncompahgrc peak. i'll Colorado,
and Mount Ellen, in Utah. This
feat WIS accomplished by the survey

GeOdctIc Survey. who are now en-
gagged. in conjunction with'reprc sent.
atives OF. other nations, III making a
new measurement OF the earth. The
observers on the Pacific Coast have
been able to signal from Monut
Shasta to Mount Helena. Il distance
Of 100 miles. but have never been
able to get Il response. between the
two other peaks communication has
been continuous for an hour or more
on several occasions. The Uncom-
pahgrc is II 300 feet in height. while
Mount Ellen is l3.i00. The Longest
distance that the human eye ever
reached until this record was made
was between Algicrs and Spain, lG3
miles. The measuring Of the earth,
which is now going on, is no simple
task. The width Of the ocean can
only he ascertainCd by astronomical
observations. Tho observers at
Greenwich ami at Washington, note
each night the exact moment of the
rising OF certain stars. and then, by
mathematical calculations, turn the
difference i'll time into distance.
This il corrected and corroboraied
10y other observations upon other
stars. and by II series Of experiments
which furnish an average that il up
proximatcly accurate. The differ
