SCIENTISTS PUZZLED OVER THE MIRAGE CITY Of ALASKA.

The announcement that a party of scientific men will leave Vancouver for Alsaka to study the so-called “Silent City- mirage directs attention to a phenomenon which ha* been the subject of much discussion during the last 10 or 1J yean. As 188T a mining prospector plored southern Alaska extensively created a sensation in Juneau and gave newapapor correspondent* a fint-class topic by exhibiting a photograph which he pretended to have taken of a mirage, Thl* prospector.

There seemed to be a number of huge buildings, all of beautiful and imposing architecture, whose'spires and buttresses strongly suggested the cathedrals of the old world. Lest bis story should be dlscredited.'he made several successive attempts to photograph the picture, which the Indians called the "Silent City." Whatever doubt may attach to the genuineness of the picture, ihe rest of Willoughby's statement may be accepted without hesitation, because there Is plenty of corroborative I

It Is doubtful whether any object shown In s mirage was ever more than 50 or 100 miles- from ths observer, and In many Instances It has been much nearer. From Dr. Flllppl's account of the experience of the Duke of Abruxzl party it Is evident that a line of hills only a few miles away afforded the basis of what they beheld. Mr. Bruce mentions the popular suspicion that Willoughby's picture

The weather w a breeze. Tbe air was not calm, and this fact may partially explain the imperfections and unsteadiness of tbe mirage. Dr. FlUipl^ays: “The southern ridges of Mount Bt. Ellas stood out clearly, merging In the long chain of Chalx bills, which, as It approached the Malasplna glacier, assumed a series of strange shapes which we were no longer able to recognise. Their outlines underwent changes before our very eyes, assuming the fqrtUs of spires, belfries, minarets and | architectural outlines of fantastic cathedrals, all of which slowly appeared and disappeared, to be succeeded by buildings of lesser height, severely rectilinear. This proved to be the mirage known ks tbe "Silent. City." an optical illusion to which this wide Ice surface 1* prone In common with

It ahoold be added that this glacier Is fully 25 miles In width, hut as it Is something like 150 or 200 miles west of the Muir glacier, where Willoughby was when he saw the mirage. It is open to question whether tbe scene was precisely the same. ^AVllloughby declared, however, thdt the suspended city lay off to tbe westward Of him. toward Mount Fairwaather. which stands between Glacier bay and Mount SL Ellas. It is to the vicinity of . Fairweather that next summer's expedition is to go. Other testimony regarding phantom cities seen at twilight and notin the middle of the day U furnished V Professor Russell, the well-known authority on American volcanoes. It was Professor Russell, by the way. who effectually disposed of the theory that Mount BL Ellas is.^t volcano. The mirage witnessed by him was at the head of T*kdtat bay. or at a point between Mtmnt St. Ellas and Mount Fairweather. Spectacles of the same kind have been seen on the coast of Greenland, too. Scoreaby. writing 20 odd year* ago. remarked: “Hummocks of ice assumed the form of castles, obelisks and spires, and the land presented extraordinary features. In some ftaces the distant Ice was so extremely irregular and appeared to be so full of pinnacles that it resembled a forest of naked trees. In others it bad the character of an extensive city, crowded with churches, castles and public edifices.” Gen. A. W. Greeiy In his "American Weather,” makes a passinf reference to the phenomenon. He does not mention having seen a mirage himself, bnt he refers to the marvelous tales which he has heard, more especially about their aace in the arctic regions, and dares that he is prepared to bafieve

them.

tween that photograph and Bristol will not count for much. Dr. Flllppl's book contains no representation of the “Silent City." although it Is full of other photographs of Alaskan scenery. Perhaps the Image was too unsteady for a camera to register 1L If the Vancouver expedition brings back a we!l-at- ( tested picture that looks like Bristol, one will be 'ustlfied In taking stock In the notion of Identity. But until then It Is wiser to tuspend judgment or to discredit the Idea altogether. Indeed, the phenomenon is enough of a marvel without any such assump-

HORSES' SUNBOHNETS A HIT. Oalr On. Ottiar Klad «r fUadcaar. tba “ l*a*»dB.“ Evar at All SarcaMtel. Horse millinery Is nothing new. There hare been all kinds of equine headgear In the shops long before this, hot none of them ever became popular until some wsg of a truckman brought out a faded old straw sunbonnet. The ridiculous appearance created by the hat placed on the head of a meek and patient horse, with his ears sticking through holes In the brim, and the strings tied under his chin, first caugnt the humor of the rough driven; then lu practicability dawned upon them, and- straightway the sunbonnet became the style across the town, from river to river. The other-bead protectors that hare been on tbe market have either been too expensive or too much trouble to adjust, to Interest the truckman. The only other style ever produced that Is at all likely to.rival the sunbonnet Ir tbe double-roofed shade which some call "pagodas.” They are made of red and white striped awning canvas, and while they are more ornamental than the sunbonnet. they do not afford as much protection, since they do not cover much more of the head than that which Is between the ears.
