How Far Can You See?

ou q lofci pain Vi prairie duu yU'
have good eyesight, how far can yol
see? Just a little over three miles.
If you take a telescope that inten
sifies your vision one hundred time
Iyou can see no further
When Columbus rolled the eartl
into a ball and put it in mems minds
as sphere, he demonstrated tha
Everything that dropped below the
sky line, was, of course, out Of sight
If the earth were as smooth as a bill
Hard ball and a man were but three
feet tall, the horizon would be only
two miles away, and by the same
token, il a man stands on the top OF
the Metropolitan Tower, 900 or more
feet above the ground, his range OF
vision is increased to thirty miles in
every direction.
| Well" you ask, what of it? Every
school boy knows that" Perhaps ev-
cry school boy does know it or has
learned it and forgotten, but that
doesn't make it amy less worth think
| ing about 1t depends on how and
where we stand and how we look.
The tall man sees the silver lining
three miles away, the man who climbs
to the towers top sees ten times as
far, and the man who buries his face
in the sand sees it not at all.
There are some men VINO think
that because the rain is falling that
the whole world is getting wet. They
think because they cannot see rift
in the clouds that it will never clear.
They do not realize that increased
altitude would add to the scope of
their vision-that 1t is worth while
to climb.
If things look dark, let your thots
rise.
