Omnernlly Hx'akliig, wo say that tho
curvature of the earth remounts loaUml
.oioit Inches to the statute mile; iin.ro
xactly. It Is n.W Incite to tlio utile, or
'.tl J Indu s for a geographical mile
uy niiiiiiiiil of artitlcial asatslaueo with
qtlicnl I i itrnineiits doe not make li
)sisslble for the eye to perceive the least
lota of curvature, even though the gae
is directed from lltn hlglinit eminence
This i t Is cause tho Ubin Is nut capable
af comparing helghti and distances.
The effect of tlm known curvature i f
tlmglotio mty Ins llluttratixl Iu the fol
lowing manner, i'ako down your globe,
place a Ixxik. pane of glass, or even a
tiller against it-either of tlm two oh
Jecl llrsl named Ixdng best nilaplotl to
such an experiment; you will observe
InstaiK'.y that the Ixxtk or muo only
touches iu one point, the globo'd sur
face falling away In all dlnx'tlons from
tho point of contact. Now suppose the
ocean's surlneo to Ihi calm and frozen
and a sheet of glass many miles square
laid upon It At olio nil lis from the
place of contact the glust would stand
out nearly eight Inches (this measure
ment Ixitug upon the orean, the mile 1 1
a nautical one), In fact, will lack hut
.OSS of an Inch of being eight
Inches from the initio; at thiee
miles It will be six feet, at
nine tulles llfty-four feet, and mo on.
Tho number of feet of depression Is
equal to two-thirds of the square of tlio
number of miles for any observable dis
tance. The atmosphere plays an Im
portant Ktrt III estimating the Islhlllty
of objects; on this account part uf this
depression must be cancelled to make
gtMsl the phenomenon of refraction,
which causes objects of all kinds to ap
pear higher than they would If theru
were no ntcnotpliere. Careful ineasnre
uicuUi have sliown thai Ihe error from
refraction average! more than one
seventh of that fioili curvature I'lin
rale, therefore, commonly used fur cor
rection of curvature ami refraction Is.
Square the number of miles and take
four-sovi uths of It for the correction In
feet. Thus, if mi object Is visible at a
distance of live miles we may know that
IU height Is at least tourtijjni and one
third feet. Or, If the height of a visible
object Is known say one hundred feet
--lake ono-fetirlh of this, multiply by
seven and tike the squiito root of the
prtsluct (which glvci the distance of tlm
object), In this case a fraction of over
thirteen miles. A man swimming In the
ix-uun can perceive a tower two hundred
feet high and uli.eteeu miles away as a
more sx'ck on the horizon; hut if tlio
man were elevated one hundred feel
alxive the surface of the water he could
plainly pnrcolvo a tower one hundred
feel high at a distance of Iwouty-six
