A SHADOW PHENOMENON.
1t is quite possible foe man te
walk away from his shadow in the
crude oil districts of California, where
the oil is stored in huge uncovered
tanks built in the ground. The best
time for the demonstration is In
the morning or evening, when the
shadows cast by the sun are long.
A person takes a position on the
edge of the reservoir, SO that his
shadow Is cast on the surface of the
OIL After standing there for few
minutes he moves away, and the dark
ened spot made by the shadow re-
mains for several inmates. There
are many theories advanced in sx-
PLANTATION of this phenomenon, but
| they are not altogether satisfactory.
The matter is, however. being given
some attention, and explanations will
in all probability be forthcoming at
no distant time.
