appear as an overhanging wall by riveting
the attention on them.
And So on and on through a very long
series of plain drawings. which are not at
first what they seem. can the eye even
tually be trained to a just appreciation OF
truthful comparison. 1t Is only a matter
Of practice.
The modern psychologist would have US
taught greater powers of fine discrimina-
ton or would give correct vision and
thus secure for the human race greater
happiness. in that larger number of our
sensations are normally active. 1t amounts
TO. be busy and you will be happy.
No doubt that with careful training of
our children along the lines of securing
accurate Ideas through the best Of our
|, senses-the sight-would give an impetus
toward the solving Of that greatest Of all
human desire by the generations who viii
follow In the mazes Of future time-the alb

obtains. bit by bit. all that heterogeneous
mass of sensations which teach it the
makeup of hard and struggling life.
Estimate of size and distance and motion
having beer learned by a definite series
of recurring everyday events, any new
combina tions not before seen will serious
ly disturb the correlat tive balance of these
units in the mind.
Deceptive Optical Illusions.
Any number of so-called optical illusions
have been invented by clever people, which
wholly deceive the unframed eye, though
by enough association with these self-same
Illusions they fade away and true concep-
tions take their place. One believes certain
things to be true. and then discovers that
all is false. and sees with the intelligent
eye of attained knowledge.
Many of the devices originated to deceive
the eye are very fascinating. Perhaps the
highest art In this direction is practiced by
sieight-of-h hand performers. Our theatri-
cal effects ana mechanical aids have all
been conceived for this end, and mechani-
cal toys. which whirl and spin against the
laws OF nature, are many.
Drawings OF geometrical figures and plac-
ing them IN new relations often totally con-
fuse the minds idea of size and distance
Lines OF equal length and subdivided in
| the center by placing V-shaped pieces with
| apeNes over the division dots and varying
| the direction make them appear unequal
| and that it is not really the case cannot
! be determined at first blush without actual
measurement
Lines which are parallel may be made to
| appear to curve outward or inward by
| drawing radiatinS lines from one or two
| common centerS between them.
| An exceedingly curious eye deceiver is
! found in TIE figures of man and boy
walking down d corridor. in which the fig
| ures of the boy and man are exactly the
same height. but the hallway is drawn in
| true receding perspective.
