HOW THE EYES SEE.
Prof. AnthOny's Interesting Lecture
on the workings of That Organ.

on the workings of That Organ.
Prof. William A. Anthony, for many
years professor of physics in Cornell Uni
versity. and now consulting electrical en-
gineer and lecturer at Cooper Union, New
York city, delivered a most delightful.
entertaining and instructive lecture at the
Guards hall last night on the subject,
How Our Eyes Inform Us of the Outside
World"
Prof. Anthony has made a minute study
of the subject, and he handled It in q
manner so simple and thorough that it
was possible even for those who have
never opened a book on physics to follow
and comprehend his explanations and IL
lustrat ions. He began by explaining the
structure of the eye, and showing how its
physical work Is performed. He had sec
tional pictures of different portions of the
eye thrown upon the canvas screen by a
powerful stereopticon, and these he fol-
lowed by other views showing different
portions of the eye much enlarged, and
still others of an explanatory nature bear
ing upon his lecture. With the expert
ments the lecture was made a most at
tractiVe one, and the speakers explana-
tons were interesting throughout.
Unfortunately. the evening was a very
inclement one, or the audience would
have been much larger. As it was. there
was a very good audience and every one
listened to the speaker with the closest
attention. The lecture was under the aus
pices of the Savannah Lyceum and the
bad weather prevented many of those
who hold season tickets from attending.
