CONG. CHURCH NOTES


When one is out for q walk it is a
very common thing to wish to know
the height OF a particular tree which
happens to catch the eye. When the
sun is shining it is possible accurately
to measure the height Of the tree from
the shadow it casts on the ground. In
order to do SO a stick must be set up
right in the ground so that it's shadow
falls beside the shadow of the tree.
Then, as the length of the sticks shad-
Ow to the sticks height, so is the
length of the trees shadow to the
trees height. For example, suppose a
two and a half foot stick shows a
shadow three feet long and the trees
shadow is eighteen feet long. There
fore the tree is six times as high as
the stick. which shows that the height
Of the tree VIII be fifteen feet.
