THE MIRAGE.
Conditions That Make Possible This
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 1t as read
fly as the rainbow.
The fata morgana 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 a mirror.
In looming mirages distant objects
show an extravagant increase in YER
tical height without alteration in
breadth. Distant hummocks Of ice are
thus magniied into immense towers
and pinnacles. and a ship is sometimes
abnormally drawn out until It appears
twelve OF thirteen times as high as 1t
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 TIE air his fathers ship, the
Fame, which afterward proved TO be
seventeen niles beyond the visible ho-
rizon OF his observation.
One August evening in 1906 DIT
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 neal
side of the intervening hill. So per
feet was this illusion that the hill II
self actually could not be seen through
the figure.
Some forms Of mirage are lateral as
we'll as vertical, arising from unequal
density Of two contiguous vertical bod
les Of air. Thus on Lake Geneva 6
boat has been seen double, the two
images som" distance apart.
Persons have been duplicated in thu
same way. Any one on hot day BY
placing his eye near to heated wal
may see lateral mirages Of objects a
distance and nearly on a line Will
the wall.
Mirages are very frequent )on des
erts or the large sandy plains whicl
Z abound in the southwestern states an
territories. Many a painting wagol
: train has pushed on in joyous hast
at the sight of green grove or limpil
lake, only TO be cruelty disappointed a
the fading away Of the vision. Is
any wonder that the natives and II
r dams regard the phenomenon as tn
work Of evil and tantalizlng spirits?
Lake Ontario is famous for beaut
full and wonderful mirages, durin
d which the opposite shore OF the lax
: is plainly visible from either side.-
