A PANORAMA of the Alps, as seen from the Piz Langard in the Engadine, used to be sold, upon which Mont Blanc wras figured, though some 3° distant. On a remarkably clear day this was pointed out to me, and I have no reason to doubt that I actually saw Mont Blanc at that distance. One morning I was walking on the terrace in front of Mr. Leland Cossart's house in Madeira, at an elevation of close upon 2000 feet above the sea, when the conversation turned on far-sightedness, and I pointed out two specks on the horizon as vessels. This they proved to be, when my friend informed me that no vessels had before been made out on the horizon from that position, even with the telescope.
