A Rurnina Glass In the Eye.

In the front part of each of our eyes
is a convex lens OF great power and
clearness. II acts exactly like burn
ing glass. If a person was made to
look Mt the sun, say, for half a minute
his eye would actually start to burn
up. The lens would focus the rays of
the sun on the retina, and that part Of
the eye would Immediately scorch and
later would burn to a crisp. This can
happen, however, only when one looks
at the sun directly or in a mirror. If
one holds a pin between the sun and
the eye and looks at the pin, although
the sun is in direct line with the eye
and although its rays are entering the
eye, the eye is not hurt, because the
rays are not focused inside the eyeball.
This is the wonderful property the lens
has, that of focusing objects at differ
ent distances. The means by which 1t
does this are its power to change its
curvature.-Chlcago Record-Herald.
