T he J acksonville M iner . The Jacksonville Miner SEEING AS AN EAGLE Published Weekly at Have you ever had a ride in an aeroplane? Let us, for a few mo ments, imagine ourselves riding in one, soaring far above the earth. With the change of viewpoint which we now enjoy there has come the ability to see things upon earth from an entirely different angle. The sky is delightfully clear. Far ther and farther from the earth the roaring motors carry us. A tele scope must now be used to pick out and bring into view such objects as the “mighty skyscrapers” down on earth! It is only by careful searching that we now find what down on earth is called the "great river” which flows past the rows of sky scrapers. And as we ride on through space, mounting higher and higher, there begins to dawn upon us the signifi cance of this new viewpoint. It is indeed thrilling to have, literally, a bird’s-eye view! Quite different from what we have most of the time when on earth, a worm’s-eye view. On and on we ride. We wonder whether it will be possible to move so far away that the earth can be seen by us only as a speck, even as those down on earth look up at the plane which is carrying us.
