Show Tho View from Mt. Hamilton. Professor Whitney says that from the summit of Jit. Hamilton in California, more of tho earth's surface- can be Been than from any other spot on tho globe, though it is only about 4,500 feet high. The view extends around in every direction, direc-tion, and tho snow capped range of the lofty Sierras can bo plainly seen 200 miles away against the northern sky. To tho south, nearly as faraway, the San Bernadino range limits tho view, and between the two lies room for all the eastern states, with their rivers, lakes, mountains and sea coast. Twenty minutes beforo reaching the summit, a heavy white cloud floated up and treated us to a drenching shower of rain. We i wero well prepared, however, and did i not sutler any inconvenience beyond loss of tho view. Worcester Spy. I |
