The ",Iagic Mirror" of Japan.

The magic mirror" Of Japan Is a
disk Of bronze. usually from six TO
eight INCHES In diameter. 1t is silvered
on the front. which is little convex.
md there Is a raised pattern on the
back. which is rather cOncave. The
polished pattern is generally a land
scape. flowers, animals or Chinese
characters. It is not visible in the
front Of the mirror. but when strong
sunlight is reflected from the front Of
the mirror to n wall or screen the pat
tern OF the back is visible on the
screen in bright lines on black
ground. Professor W. T.. Ayrton, +.
r. S. with Professor John Perry. f.
Il. s. was the first 10 give the true
scientific explanation Of this magical
effect. It seems that the design on
the back alters the cOnveXity Of the
front. making it hat-in fact. along
the lines Of the pattern. Consequently
the light reflected from the front is
not dispersed at these points of the
design. and they appear brighter on the
screen.-LOndon Globe.
