ing signs, which not only look but
also point a steady finger directly
at the observer, no matter where
the latter may stand. Sometimes.
instead Of a finger, it IS a pistol in
the picture that is pointed.
This very curious optical phenom-
enon is exhibited most strikingly on
the street cars. One enters, say. at
the rear door, and sees, on a picture
sign, q man pointing a finger or q
pistol at him. AS the passenger goes
forward the man actually seems to
turn and follow him with eve and
pistol, still pointing the latter at him
