DEAR SiR•—Allow me tocall your attention to a statement which ap-' pearled. in last week's iseue of your paper, under the heading "Nothing but a Star." The particular etatement to which I refer reads as follows : "lf it were a .balloon,. it would have to be.' t least f a II '1 . fifty ranee _ in the air to be seen "at this distance' A man -'six •feec tn'• height,• standing at the water's edge, can, it is estimated, see a die'ance of three miles along the surface of the water. If in three miles the curvature of the earth is•only six feet, it is quite evident that to say that the curvature in about one hundred miles is fifty miles is a gross exaggeration. Again, a person standing upon the roof of the Goderich Organ Factory, a height of 170 feet above the lake, can see the trees across the lake on the Michigan side upon a clear day. The distance across the lake is in the neighborhood of sixty miles. In the light of this fact, then, the above statement is clearly impossible,. As another illus- tration, we might mention the Rock- ies. They can quite easily be seen at a distance of a hundred miles, and they are only about a couple of miles high. In my opinion, then, your statement iserroneous,. and Ishould like to know how you arrived at that result. PEDAGOGi7E. Our correspondent has not taken in to account the altitude of the planet in.question. Whsn observed it was 30 degrees above the horizon.
