A very curious fact is the impossible
ity of moving your eye while examin-
ing the reflection Of that organ in a
mirror. 1t Is really the most movable
part of the face. Yet IL you hold your
head fixed and try to move your eye
while watching 1t you cannot do it
even the ne-thousandth of an inch. OF
course If you look at the reflection Of
the nose or any other part of your face
your eye must move to see il. But the
strange thing is that the moment you
endeavor to perceive the motion the
eye Is fixed This liz one of the reasons
why persons expression as seen by
himself in a glass is quite different
from what il is when seen by others.
