THE CAUSE OF MIRAGE. - com-panio- n. olive-gree- n Emi 'Th ereare i days on which, in certain weather, and despite the curvature of the earth, the distance of visibility is doubled, or more than doubled. This n phenomenon is explained to us by a law of physics. If we throw a coin into an empty vessel, it will be bidden by the edge of the latter, .at a certain distance; but if we fill the vessel with water, ther coin will become visible. - We have here a case of refraction, such as is explained in well-know- -- elementary works of physics. Every one also knows the theory of the mirage put forth by the celebrated Monge, who explained the phenomenon as due to the diminution of the air's density in contact with the super-heateearth, k contrary will the explain theory mirage at sea. .While the sun is making the atmosphere intensely hot, the sea and the strata of air in contact therewith remain relatively cold, and these strata become su perposed in the order of their density. A luminous fay emanating from the sea will pass from one stratum into another of less density,! there will be a refraction, and an object beneath , the horizon will be seen above it This theory note book and pencil. two to a v Near Lyons, pleasant! situated on a hill, is supposes conditions, wit, heating of the while the sea and the a large brick building which is pointed out to earth remain atmosphere, relatively cold, and a calmness of it to permit its me as an asylum for idiots.
