If the earth is a globe, the series of flags in the last experiment would have had the form and produced the results represented in the diagram, Fig. Hence the surface of the water C, D, was equidistant from the line of sight A, B and as A B was a right line, C, D, being parallel, was also a right line or, in other words, the surface of the water, C, D, was for six miles absolutely horizontal. The water at C was 5 feet and each intervening flag had the same altitude. The altitude of the point B above the water at D was 5 feet, and the altitude of the telescope at A above On looking with a good telescope over and along the flags, from A to B, the line of sight fell on the lower part of the larger flag at B. Close to the last flag in the series a longer staff was fixed, bearing a flag 3 feet square, and the top of which was 8 feet above the surface of the water-the bottom being in a line with the tops of the other and intervening flags, as shown in the following diagram, Fig, 4. Samuel Birley Rowbotham),, at Īlong the edge of the water, in the same canal, six flags were placed, one statute mile from each other, and so arranged that the top of each flag was 5 feet above the surface.
