SEEING OBJECT FAR AWAY
Altitude and Atmosphere Vastly In
crease the Range OF
Vision.

One of the fast trains between Paris
and Marsellles was just leaving the sta
ton at Dion in October last when a pas
senger in great excitement called out:
There is Mont Blanc!"
The other passengers looked out of the
windows and sure enough they saw away
to the southeast the snowy upper part Of
Mont Blanc rising above the SUBMITS Of
the intervening Jura mountains. 1t looked
like a cloud floating in the air.
1t was a sunless day, but the air was
extraordinarily limpid, for all the dust In
it had been washed out by the rain that
had fallen every day in the month.
It is most unusual for Mont Blanc to be
seen from the railroad track at Dijon, 1886
miles distant in a plain less than 300 feet
above the sea. 1t is visible at times from
the heights around the city.
It is of interest to travellers in France to
know that Mont Blanc is normally always
visible from Lyons, ninety-nine miles dis
tant; Macon, 1O2 miles, and Shalon-sur-
saone, ia miles. Whether or not the
mountain can be seen from many points in
southeastern France from day to day is
popularity regarded as a weather indica-
ton.
Of course, II you are standing on a con-
siderable elevation and there are no OBJ
stacles in the way you may see Mont
Blanc from greater distances. The noun
tain is in view, for example, from the
heights tina dominate Marseilles.
Puy de Dome in France. 1870 feet high,
is 1888 miles west OF Mont Blanc, but the
great snow mountain is visible from the
top Of the lower summit. The mountains
of Forez bar the way between them, but
It happens curiously enough that there is
n deep depression in these mountains just
along the line of sight between the tops
of Puy de Dome and Mont Blanc and
through this abrupt lowering of the range
the snow mountain may be seen.
This is believed to be the greatest dis
lance that can be seen with the naked eye
in the climate OF southern Europe. Here
are a number of mountains and the dis
tances at which they may be seen out at
sea;
Versivius, before the last eruption, eighty
seven miles; Ventoux, los; Canigou, 12S
Etna, 1888; Teneriffe, 1877; Fujiyama, 16O;
CAMERON, 165; Chimborazo, 191, Aeon
sagua, 2Ul.
Most Of the giants Of the Andean cor
dillera, even those that are a considerable
distance inland, can be seen from out at
sea. The first view shows them only as
little elevations above the horizon and the
lower mountains around them are not in
sight. But as the land Is approached the
great SUBMITS are gradually revealed in all
their splendid proportions-New York Sun.
