cURloclTIEs OF SEEING.
Remarkable Experiments Which Show
How Easily tho Eye Is Deceived.

AeebhufAhDAo experiments winch Show
How Easily tho Ego Is Deceived.
Some very remarkable experiments,
which any one, with little care, may
repeat for himself, have recently been
made on tho perspective effects of color.
If on screen of black velvet placed
about 10 feet away large letters are
pasted, some blue and somo red, tho let
tiers will not appear to be Mt an equal
distance from the eyes. To some per-
sons the red letters will seem nearer
than the blue letters, while to others
the contrary effect will be manifested,
tho blue letters appearing nearer than
the red ones.
To produce this curious effect both
eyes must DO used. When one eye is
closed, the letters arc all seen at the
same distance. On opening the other
eye one set of letters Immediately ap-
pears to take position in advance of
the others.
The explanation offered is that n sort
of stereoscopic effect is produced in the
eye itself, depending on color. The i'm
age of blue object is shifted by the
eye toward one side, and that of a red
object toward the other side. tho cause
of the shifting being the eccentricity of
the pupil of tho eye.
This eccentricity may be increased by
holding black screen close to tho eye
SO as to cover one-half of the pupil.
The effect is best viewed by screening
both pupils at the same time. If on
looking at blue and red letters on u black
background placed 10 or 10 feet away
you see the red letters nearer than the
blue ones, screen off one-half of the pu-
| pill of each eye, on the outside, and you
will then see the red letters retire be-
hind the blue ones.
If you screen the pupils on the side
| toward the nose, you will sec the red
letters advance apparently still farther
ahead of tho blue letters.
| If, on the other hand, you naturally
see tho blue i'll advance, screen tho in
ner side of your pupils, and the red will
come to the front.
1t has lately been shown by DR.. A.
D. Waller that very beautiful effects
can be produced with one eye alone
when, instead of letters, red or blue
rings are pasted on background of
the opposite color. Placing red rings
on blue paper and using tho right eye
with the inner side of the pupil COW
cred, the appearance is that of circular
red hillocks resting upon a blue ground.
To produce this effect in it's highest
degree the paper should be held to the
left and sloping in that direction. When
the outer side of the pupil is screened,
the red ring become circular trenches in
the blue paper Youths Companion.
