A CURIOUS and slightly known fact is
that it is impossible to move the eye
while looking at its reflection in a
mirror. The eye is the most movable
part of the face, yet if you try to look
at it and move it a thousandth part Of
an inch you will be baked in your pur-
pose. The moment you endeavor to
perceive the motion of the eye it be-
