Mirage of Lake Huron
Visible at Lucknow
A mirage or actual mirrored view
of Lake Huron waters, 16 miles dis-
tant, was 'clearly visible in the village
on Sunday about noon. Tie phenorns
enal sight was viewed by some vill-
age residents froin. the elevation at the
United Church inteesection.
The mirage showed the lake waters
as clearly as if one were stending
near its shores, and gave "Webster's"
hill just west of the village, the ap-
pearance of being but a slight eleva-
tion.
Mirages are quite a common occur-
ence on prairies or deserts, but any-
thing of this nature is a real rarity in
this locality and in the writer's exper-
ience is the first time such has ever
been seen or heard of here. A mir-
age is an optical illusion caused by
the refraction of light thru adjoining
masses of clouds of different- densit-
ies, which refraction produces the ef-
fect of direct reflection and results in
an apparent elevation of the subject
revealed in the mirage.—Lucknow
