THE MIRAGE.
Conditions That Make Possible Thtv
Beautiful Illusion.

Conditions That Make Possible This
Beautiful Illusion.
About that natural phenomenon, the
mirage, much mystery chung in days
of old, but science explains it as read
lily as the rainbow.
The fata inorganic of the strait of
Messina and the specter of the Brock
en- were nothing more in sober reality
than mere mirage.
A mirage may occur at any place
where the denser stratum of air is
placed above the lighter stratum, thus
refracting the rays of light, the COM
mon surface of the two stratums act
ing as mirror.
In looming mirages distant objects
show an eXtravagant Increase in YER
tica height without alteration i'll
breadth Distant hummocks of ice are
thus maGnified into immense towers
and pinnacles. and ship is sometimes
abnormaly drawn out until it appears
twelve or thirteen times as high as it
is long. Rocks are seen drawn up to
ten or twelve times their proper
height. Houses as well as human be-
ings and animals appear in like eXag-
gerated shape.
Another form Of mirage is when a
ship or some other object near the
water seems greatly elongated and a
second inverted image meets it from
above.
Sometimes the proper image of the
object is elevated far above the sea.
while the second image strangely ap-
pears inverted beneath it. the whole
surrounded by a sheet of sky which is
mirrored and repeated within it,
In 1882 in the arctic region Captain
Scoresby recognized by it's inverted
image in the air his fathers ship. the

seventeen miles beyond the visible no.
rizon of his observation.
One August evening in 1906 DR..
Vince saw from Ramsgate, at which
place only the tops Of Dover castle
towers are usually visible. the whole
of the castle. 1t appeared as though
lifted up and bodily placed on the near
side of the intervening hill. SO per-
feet was this illusion that the hill it.
self actually could not be seen through
the figure.
Some forms of mirage are lateral as
well as vertical, arising from unequal
density Of two contiguous vertical bod
les of air. Thus on Lake Geneva a
boat has been seen double, the two
images some distance apart.
Persons have been duplicated in the
same way Any one on hot day by
placing his eye near to heated wall
may see lateral mirages of objects at
a distance and nearly on line with
| the wall
Mirages are very frequent on des-
erts or the large sandy plains which
abound in the southwestern states and
territories. Many a painting wagon
train has pushed on in joyous haste
at the sight of green grove or limpid
lake, only to be cruelty disappointed at
the fading away of the vision. Is it
any wonder that the natives and In
dams regard the phenomenon as the
work of evil and tantalizing spirits?
Lake Ontario is famous for beauti-
full and wonderful mirages, during
which the opposite shore of the lake
is plainly visible from either side

The Regular price of the two is

The Times will give our readers

The Milwaukee Journal is the
great Independent Daily which has
beel making such tremendous strides
with the newspaper readers of the

that the Milwaukee Journal is the

ADDRESS
Continued from Page 4

poor man is paying taxes for
his neighbors and corpora
tions. Some parties may
have the idea that j am
hostile to corporation, land
spectators and the farmers
owning well improved farms.
/ assure you this is not the
case at all, all [ want you to
do, is. treat everybody alike.
The law not only commands
you to do so. it is the only
way to be honest, and with
out being honest with all your
taxpayers, and this means to
assess everything at its true
cash value, you cannot make
a good assessment. You
have to respect the rights OF
the rich as we'll as the poor.
Assess all the property in
your town and all at the true
cash value, and you will do
the poor man the best SER
vice. It will bring, his taxes
down where they should be.
Care should be taken in
listing all the property al d
avoid omissions. Describe
each parcel of land with legal
certainty and give number
of acres of each tract con-
tanning more than one acre.
The assessors of the towns of
Barnes, Barksdale, Bell,
Gable, Drummond, Eileen,
Hughes, Lincoln, Mason,
Oulu, Orienta, Pilsen, Pratt
and Washburn, will receive
t leir assessment rolls, with
the real estate listed, and l
earnestly beg the assessors
of these towns not to change
any description therein. Ii
you have any doubt as to the
correctness of a given de-
scriptiOn let me know it, and
/ will look the matter over
and write you about it. |
hope that the County Board
will take action and empower
me to correct the descriptions
in the other towns of the
county, also. | prepared for
every assessor list of sales in
his town. covering sales from
May 1st 1907 to April 18th 1909.
All not strictly bona fde sales,
or such, covering personal pro-
perty are eliminated. Look over
the list carefully, and if you find
the consideration named, eXces-
sive, let me know it and state
the reason. Some times more
is paid for a certain piece of pro-
.perty than it is actually worth,
but as rule the property is
worth what it can be sold for,
and in this way the sales will
give you good idea as to valua
tions of real estate. Sections
1889 to 1O42b see tax laws, con-
tajfn the provisions for the assess
ment of personal property, and
[ have to state that some assess
ors were not careful enough, in
assessing personal property,
owned by non residents of the
state. It is very important to
assess personal property to the
proper party. In general. there
is no lien for a tax upon personal
property. and ordinarily. if
charged to the wrong person,
cannot be collected, and the
amount thereof if turned in as
delinquent to the county treas
urer, will be charged back to
the town. If you have any
doubt as to whom certain per-
sonal property should be assess
ed, call on me, and I will see to
it that it is charged to the proper
party.

HALLEYs COMET IN VIEW
With Conjunction of Saturn and Mars
1t Forms Interesting Sight

The conjunction of Saturn and
Mars which planets have been APP
preaching each other for some time,
has been an unusually interesting
sight in the heavens for several
nights, particularly so as Halleys
comet, now in y degrees 26 minutes
Celestial latitude is gradually becom-
ing visible to the naked eye directly
alongside of Saturn. The actual CON
junction of the two superior planets
occurred about eight O'Clock Wednes-
day morning and both were on the
meridian at seven o'clock last even
ing Because of the cold clear air
the conjunction was a brilliant sight.
The conjunction of Mars and Sat
urn may be seen for some time to
come as both planets are what is
known astronomically as slow NOV
ers. With a small telescope and field
glasses Halley's comet may also be
seen like a nebulous streak alongside
of Saturn. 1t is rare sight for a
conjunction of two superior planets
and a comet occurs perhaps once in
a thousand years.
