REFLECTION OF LIGHT. 



The reflection of the electric light in Boston and the sur- 

 rounding towns can be seen from certain elevations at a great 

 distance. When the atmospheric conditions are favorable, it 

 is distinctly visible on particular nights, from Indian Hill at 

 Groton, in the neighborhood of Captain Moses Poor Palmer's 

 house, and from other places in the town. A slight haziness 

 in the air is needed in order to receive the reflection. The 

 distance from Boston to Groton in a straight line is about 30 

 miles, though the illumination is helped by the electric sys- 

 tems of Newton and Waltham, which are somewhat nearer. 

 From different points in the village of Groton the reflection of 

 the circuits at Nashua, Lowell, Chnton, and Fitchburg is often 

 visible, which places are 12 or 13 miles distant as the crow 

 flies.
