(Indianapolis News.) That phenomenon known as the has always been of interest Sometimes even peo- ple on the train can get a glimpse of such In the Red River Minnesota are occasionally seen some of its effects. In Northern-Pacific guide book, is- sued by the United States Geological Survey, Warran Upham says: “The mirage, typical of plains, county or the ocean, may be seen in the Red River vall almost any sunshiny day in spring, summer or autumn. This queer phenomenon makes the high land at the sides of the valley and the tops of the distant trees and appear to be raised a little above the horizon, with a narrow strip of sky between. The more complex and astonishing effect of mirage may be seen from the high- land or either side of the lake bed floor. There, in looking across the valley from one-half to two hours aft- er sunrise on a hot morning follow- ing a cool night, the groves and houses, villages and groves elevators loom up two to three times their true height and places ordinarily hidden by the curvature of the earth are brought into view. Oftentimes, too, these objects are seen double, be- ing repeated in an inverted image close ahove their real position and separated from it by a foglike belt. In its most perfect development the mirage shows the upper and topsy- turvy part of the view quite as dis tinctly as the lowar and true part These appearances are due to refrac- tion and reflection from rs of air | of different density such are often formed above a wide expanse of level country in warm weather.” mirage, to travelers. an illusion. valley to be of houses Tim-Made Epigrams.

Gross errors must not be allowed to stand, to corrupt the minds of future generations. What Sullivan sald was, “A Congressman may sound all right in New York, but in Washington they hitch horses to him.” He went on to express his doubts whether even In New York it was worth while to be a Congressman:” “A fellow ran into a saloon today and yelled out, “is Con- gressman Sullivan here?
