A Portraits Eyes.

Woilaston's curious discovery was
that by adding to each pair of eyes a
nose directed to the right or the left the
eyes lose their front direction and Look
to the right or left, according TO the di-
rectlon OF the nose. By means of a fiaD
representing the lower features in q
different position, as DR.. Wollaston re-
marks, "a lost look Of devout abstrao-
tion in an uplifted countenanoe NAV he
exchanged for an appearance Of inquisi-
tive archness in the leer of a younger
face turned downward and obliouelv
toward the opposite side. -
AS by changing the direction of the
lower features we change the direction
OF the eyes, so by changing our position
the eye OF the portrait apparently fol-
lows as. If a vertical line be drawn
through the tip of the nose and half
way between the eyes, there will be
the same breadth of head, Of cheek. of
chin and of neck ON each side of this
middle line, and each iris will be in the
middle of the whole eye. II we now
move to one side, the apparent horizon
tai breadth of every part OF the head
and face will be diminished, but the
parts on each side of the middle line
Will be diminished equally, and at anv
position, however oblique, there will
be the same breadth of face on each side
OF the middle line, and the iris will be
ia the center of the whole Of the eye
ball, so that, being on a fat surface.
the iris will be seen in front of the MO
ture or obliquely. Notes and Queries.

- Lop lis. a, Large town at the edge Of
the desert which gis' called the desert

and northeast 1t belongs TO the great
khan. andy people worship Moham-
med. Now,N such persons as propose TO
GROSS the desart take n weeks rest in
this town, tor refresh themselves and
their cattle, and then they make ready
for the Journey. taking with them
months supply for man and beast. On
quitting this city they enter the desert.
The length of this desert is SO great
that it is said it would take a year and
more to ride from one end of it to the
other. And here. where its breadth is
least. it takes month TO cross it. IT'S
all composed of hills and valleys Of
sand, and not a thing to eat is to be
found ON it But after riding for a day
and a night you find fresh water,
enough mayhap for some 90 or 100 per-
sons with their beasts, but not for more
And all across the desert you will find
water in like manner-that Is to say, In
some 90 places altogether you will find
good water, but in no great quantity,
and in four places also you find brack-
ish water.
Beasts there are none, for there is
naught for them TO eat But there is n
marvellous thing related of this desert,
which is that when travellers are on the
move by night and one of them chances
to lag behind or to fall asleep or the
like. when he tries TO gain his company
again, he will hear spirits talking and
will suppose them TO be his comrades
Sometimes the spirits will call him by
name, and thus shall a traveller ofttimes
be led astray, so that he never finds his
party. And in this way many have per-
ished. Sometimes the stray travellers
will hear. as it were, the tramp and hum
of a great cavalcade of people away
from the real line of road, and, taking
this TO be their own company, they will
follow the sound, and when day breaks
they find that a cheat has been put on
them and that they are in an i'll plight.
Even in the daytime one hears those
spirits talking. And sometimes you
shall hear the sound Of a variety of
musical instruments and still more
commonly the sound of drums Hence
In making this journey it is customary
for travellers Co keep close together. All
the animals, too, have bells at their
'necks, so that they cannot easily get
astray. And at sleeping time signal
is put up TO show the direction of the
next march.
So thus it is that the desert is CROSS
