PT|CAL ILLUSION
SEEN IN PICTURES
REASON WHY A PORTRAITS
EYES FOLLOW A PERSON AS
IF ALIVE.

Why do the eyes Of painted por-
trait follow you?
1t. is often uncanny the way they
do it. In olden days a superstition
attached to it-especially with re-
gard to certain portraits in ancient
houses. The idea has been embalm-
ed TO some extent in literature.
But we know now why the thing is
so, 1t is simply an optical Illusion
easily explained.
To procure such an effect the eyes
of the person represented in the
portrait must be looking directly
front, and not toward one side. So
much for that. Now, under such
circumstances the pupil of each eye
is necessarily in the middle thereof,
with as much white" on one side
as on the other,
Obviously this relation does not
vary at all with the position as
sumed by the observer. The lat
ter may stand far over on either
side of the picture, and yet, rom
his point of view, there is as much
white" on one side of each eye as
en- the other, and the pupil still is
in the middle. Such being the case,
the painted image continues to look
directly at him.
That is all there is to it. And
exactly the same principle applies 70
the pictures, often seen in advertis
ing signs, which not only look at
but also point a steady finger d.
rectly at the observer, no matter
where the other may stand. Some
times, instead of a finger, it is a
pistol in the picture that is pointed.
This very curious optical phenom-
enon is exhibited most striNngly on
the street cars. One enters, say, at
the rear door, and sees, on a picture
sign, man pointing a finger or pis-
tol at him. AS the passenger goes
forward the man actually seems to
turn and follow him with eye and
pistol, still pointing the latter at
him when he has reached the front
door of the car 1t is swing
through an arc OF 90 degrees or
more.
You see, whatever the point Of
view may be $50 long as the picture
is in sight at all) the muzZle of
the pistol, or the finger tip, is al
ways optically central. The picture
being a 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 a New
York multimillionaire there is a
double staircase, the two flights
joining at a landing above. On the
wall Is uuSe painting VI iio|N
of sheep coming down hill. The
picture is famous work of art ami
cost nobody knows how many thor
sands 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 fift?
feet apart one ascends, the sheep
seem to be running directly toward
the observer, Here again the op-
teal principle involved is exactly
the same.-New York American.

Nuls Esperson who is in the city
today from Houston says Ardmore's
prosperity depends upon the accom-
moda,ons of its hotels and upon the
roads to the oil fields As bust
ness investment the hotels will keep
up with the progress of the city
and will meet the demands OF the
visitors. but the roads bear an IN
direct revenue and the enterprisin5
citizens must take mold of that mat
Ter. Mr.. Esperson said he was in
Tulsa when it was not nearly as
gocd a town as Ardmore is now and
he had seen it grow to one of the
most important cities Of the state.
That city took advantage of its op-
nortunity to hold the trade of the
oil men and that made it, Ardmore
has the same opportunityincw. This
geutlcman says the first work 10
husld the proposed road is TO have
a competent engineer make the sur
yev. build the roadbed up so the
moisture will not disintegrate it
80 il will stay dry no matter how
much rain falls and the material to
do this work is at hand in grave
and asphalt If the roadbed is built
hieh it forms a perfect drainage and
.rayel is as good over it one time
as another.
