Show Tbo Peak of TenerlfTo. Attention is bolng called to tho fact that the penk ot TenerlfTaat uawn cast upon tho ocean n shadow that at first appears to bo flat tipon the surfaco, but that gradually seems to rise up until un-til it is perpondlcular, and stands apparently ap-parently a reproduction in black of the real mountain which besido it is white and glowing in tho sunlight. Tbo scientific explanation ot the phenomenon phe-nomenon is that the shadow at lirst Is really flat npon the water, but that, as tho heat of tho rising sun causes a vapor to rise from the ocean, tho shadow gradually becomes cast against the bank of fog instead of upon tho wator, and really Is straight up in the air. |
