some OF them upside down. perhaps But in
spite of their eccentricities there is real ship
involved in the phenomenon.
In some mirages there is great magnifcation
OF the objects seen, but only in vertical direc-
tion. The passage just quoted from Scoresby
illustrates the point in a measure. This effect is
closely allied to the apparent lifting OF a scene
above its true position. or what sailors call
looming" For instance. a mirage once showed
people at Hastings. England, the French coast
near Boulogne forty or fifty miles away. The
curvature of the earth is here sufficient TO hide
one city from the other under ordinary condi-
tions. Professor j. ID. Everett. of Belfast. Ire
land in a lecture delivered over a quarter of d
century ago dwelt at length on the false ideas
Of nearness and the distortion of form that
suits from looming This vertical magnifca-
ton is shown in cliffs and icebergs at sea-, said
he. "and produces effect of pinnaces. spires.
columns basaltic cliffs. The magniii-
cent columns which constitute a part of the
Fata morgana "a mirage) in the Strait of Mes
sina in like manner to be attributed to verti-
cal magnifcation. An appearance of the same
kind. known the Merry Dancers is often
seen by boatmen off the Giants Causeway."
In his book on Alaska mines Bruce says that
The Silent City has been identified as a view
Of Bristol England But il is possible that he
has somewhat hastily accepted some elses
conviction this subject. At any rate. there
are several reasons for demanding further evil
dence. 1t is doubtful whether any object shown
IN a mirage ever more than fifty a hun
dred miles from the observer. and in many in
stances it has been much nearer. From DR.
Filippis account of the experience of the Duke
Of the AbruZZ party ii is evident that line of
hills only few miles away afforded the basis of
what they beheld. Mr.. Bruce mentions the pop
ular suspicion that Wioughby's picture was a
fake" and adds that he is himself under such
obligations to the prOspector that he could hard
Iy confess the truth if he had any doubts of his
own Hence any fancied resemblance between
that photograph and Bristol will not count for
much. DIR. Fppis book contains representa-
ton Of the silent City" although ii is full OF
other photographs of Alaskan scenery. Perhaps
the image too unsteady for to
register it, II the Vancouver expedition brings
back a well attested picture that looks like
