THE BOSS
WAS IT A At I RAGE ?
A Strange. Beautiful Vision. Seen
fn the Wood River Valley
In the Summer of '6!.
It was in the latter put of June.
Iiaiii had U n frequent of late. .'r:is
was abundant fr the eattleaiid heavy
lews of mornings were the rule. 1
was alone, in -liaise of the McLaine
ranch. four mile. n; t h and on the nj
IHiteMde of the l'latte river from I t.
Kearney, then a military post of two
regiments-as part ially dNcriied in a
sketch by the writer in lat week's
Journal. The sun was just peepintr
up over the northeastern hills as I sal
lied out of the house to attend to the
morning chores. Happening to glance
toward the eat a scene . .strantreand
unusual met my ra.e that all thought
of anything ele was. for the time
leink.r. driven from my mind. There,
close lefore me. was a view of scenery
4"hich 1 at once recognized and knew
to e twenty to thirty miles away,
which now setim-d less than a half
mile distant. My astonishment may
e imagined, hut I will not attempt to
descril; it.
I had in my boyhood read in story
loioksof what is called a mirage, but
1 had never eeii one lefore if. in
deed, this was a mirage now Ufore my
astonisheil ees. It was a s-ene, too.
as eaiitiful as it was strange, and I
must have stoo for vme minutes,
transfixed in wonder and delight.
Then J U-an to anale if. A tihnv
t loud liunt' like a thin sheet of paiM-r,
apparent l. t.ut a few feet alove the
earth - certainly no hiudiei than the
telegraph poles that stretched out in !
a long line to the east and the fur
ther edt'e of the cloud seemed to meet
the earth beyond the point where the
VVxi river turns into the 1'latte bot
tom, ami this part of the scene was to
all appeal anc'-s drawn upward toan
anle of several decrees, and drought
close to view. A bright . v el mellow
blue, reen and pinkish yellow shading
so intermingled as to iri ve an exquisite
effect between i-loii'l anil eart h to t he
picture, and inaWini it sul!imeh !eau
tiful. if possible to eW a still better view
if this cntrancim; picture I (.'limbed
up t he corner of t he Uts storehouse to
t he top and sat on the comb" of the
roof, and from there the whole scene
stretching d'ivn astward. lordeied
by the fringe of trees alom; Vnk1
river, was spread out like a painted
pict lire - from Koyd's ranch, seven
miles away. on the h it. next the ranch
of Joe K. Johnson, and orlice of Wood
1 illiver liaette. lu-tweeii there and
't;e ford over Woh1 river, some til'tcen
miles, wen? twour three other ranches
ail in full view, and inot amaziiiif
.f all else was the erfect view of the
l.tf house which stoKl near the ford.
The lo'-, and chinks of the structure
were plainly visible. A herd of cattle
was feedim.' on the prairie n ar ly,
and so bright was the view that their
various colors were easily li-. ernible,
anl I not i-'ed some were r.'d.soaie olack
and some pott ;d with white. While
1 .'azt-d a man cane out of the house
w it h an a. vven t to t he w ink I pile and
hean cutting wil. He was in his
sliirt sleeves - without emit or vest. I
could see the 'leain of the ax as it
rose and fell: see the bright chips My
as the chopper cleft the stick of wo; si.
and imagined 1 could hear the
soiind of the ax although 1 knew it
to Ik.- full thirty mi'us away as the
bird flies from where 1 sat. tothe man
who waschopping tirewoo i with which
to cook breakfast. 1

As I uazed at this wonderful picture
the cloud le,ran t rise, and irradually
the vision of beauty anddeli'ht faded
from view: and almost as quickly as
words can tell it, it wasfc'one from my
siiiht never to Ik? seen arain.
Has this a iniraire? No: not such
a one as we l ead of in looks. Wele
ster delines a mirage to lie "An opti
cal illusion arisinir from an unequal
refraction in the lower strata of the
atmosphere," (and that far the defini
tion hits this case perfectly, but the
result is different J as he continues
causing remoi- ooiecls to appear
uouoie, as ii reiieeieo. in a mirror, or
in the air." in this case refraction of
the rays of lieht had a different effect
it lifted the remote objects" which
were on the opposite side of a sloping
ridf.re. up into full view, and in addi
tion had the same effect asa telescope
upon the objects covered by the re
fracted rays, and brought them out so
distinct that they appeared to lie close
at hand.
Whatever this optical illusion may
be called, it was such a surprise, such
a briirht and beautiful vision, that the
memory of its loveliness has not faded
from my mental vision during the
forty years that have elapsed since I
was privileged to witness it, and my
hope is that it will remain there as
a reminder of the wonderful produc
tions of Nebraska's atmosphere.
