The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1890-04-22

If we examine Fig. 2 in the second cut, the
continuation Of the line a does not appear to
be (Which it is in reality-but f, which is q
little lower. This illusion is still more strik-
ing when we make the figure on a smaller
scale as at 3, where the two fine lines are in
continuation with each other, but do not ap-
pear to beso, and at C, where they appear
50, but are not in reality. If we draw the
figures as at A, leaving out the line d, and
look at them from gradually increasing dis
tance, 50 that they appear to diminish, it
viii be found that the further off the figure
is placed, the more it seems necessary to low
er the line to make it appear a continuation
Of a. These effects are produced by irradia-
ton; they can also be produced by black
lines on a white foundation. Near the point
Of the two acute angles, the circles of diffu-
sion Of the two black lines touch and mutu-
ally ro-enforce each other; consequently the
retinal image of the narrow line presents its
maximum of darkness nearest to the broad
line, and appears to deviate on that side. In
figures Of this kind, however, executed on a
larger scale, as in Fig. l, irradiation can
scarcely be- the only cause Of illusion.

A beautiful illustration OF the effect OF cleo
trio light was recently given by DR.. Siemens
before the Royal Society of England by plac-
ing pot Of budding tulips in the full bright
ness of the electric light in the meeting room,
and in about forty minutes the buds had ex-
panded into full bloom.
DR.. Siemens told that he had planted a
number of quick growing seeds, such as mus
tard, carrots, melons, etc, and, having di-
vided the pots into four groups, had one
group kept entirely III the dark, one exposed
TO the influence of the electric light only, one
to the influence Of daylight only and one to
daylight and electric light in succession. He
applied the electric light each evening from
3 o'clock to II o'clock and left the plants in
darkness for the remainder of the night
According to his observations, the plants
kept entirely in the dark soon died; those eI-
posed to the electric light only, or to the day
light only, throve about equally, and those
exposed to both day and electric light throve
far better than either.

Thus, in Fig. l, we imagine the length b

than b C. In an experiment consisting of
dividing line into two equal parts, the right
eye tends to increase the half on the right,
and the left eye to enlarge that on the left
