Film Reveals Human Eye
 Moves Along in Jerks

London, Nov. cS UP)-The human eye in reading a line of printed matter moves in a series of jerks and long pauses, instead ot by 8 continuous movement across the page as had been pop ularly supposed.
 This is one of many interesting facts about the eye discovered at the psychological laboratory at the University of Cambridge.
 Eye movements were recorded by photographing a beam Of light reflected from the Cornea on to a continuously moving film. When developed this film revealed that the readers eye followed the printed line in short, jerky move ments of great rapidity with pauses in between the movements. These pauseS were found to be nearly ten times as long the period of actual movement.

Of. These things can never be re-
claimed, because they are abstrac-

back the things that civilization took
from you. The rings have gone from
your eyes, your hollow cheeks are fill
