Why Portraits Eyes Follow You as if Alive

You see, whatever the point of
view may be ESQ long as the picture
is in sight at ALL, the muzzIe of the
pistol, or the fingertip, is always
OFFICIALLY central. The picture be-
ing plane surface, the relation of
finger-tip or muzzle to the other
parts of it are unaltered. Hence,
wherever you stand, the pistol or
finger points at you.
In the palatial mansion of Newl
York multi-millionaire there is a
double staircase, the two flights
joining at a landing above. On the
wall is a huge painting of flock of
sheep coming downhill. The picture
Is famous work of art, and cost
nobody knows how many thousands
of dollars; but the thing about it
that chiefly interests most people
who see it is that, no matter which
of the two flights (Which are fifty,
feet apart) one aseends, the sheep
seem to be running directly toward
the observer. Here again the opti.

Such being the case, the painted

That is all there is to it. And
exactly the same principle applies to
the pictures. often seen In advertis-

also point a steady finger directly

the latter may stand. Sometimes,
instead of finger, 1t is a pistol in

This very curious optical phenom-

the street cars. One enters, say, at
the rear door, and sees, on a picture
