A very pretty little experiment which Illustrate the two methods of forming an optical linage nnd by way of cor ollary lll'iNtrntc the essential differ ence between refracting and reflecting telescopes niy be performed by any one who possesses a reading glass and a magnifying hand mirror. In a room that Is not too brightly Illuminated pin a sheet of white paper on the wall op posite to a window that by preference should face the north or awsy from the position of the sun. Taking first the reading glass, hold It between the win dow and the wall parallel to the sheet of paper and a foot or more distant from the latter. P.y moving It to and fro a little you will be able to find a distance corresponding to the focal length of the lens, at which a picture of the window Is formed on the paper. This plctnte, or linage, will be upside down because the rays of light cross at the fix-its. Ity moving the glass a little closer to the wall you will cause the picture of the window to become Indistinct, while n beautiful Image of the houses, trees or other object of the outdoor world beyond will be formed Upon the paper. We thus learn that Uie distance of the linage from the lens va ries with the distance of the object whose linage Is formed, in precisely a similar manner au linage is formed at the focus of the object glass of a re fracting teleecope. Take next your magnifying or con cave mirror, and, detaching the she?t of paper from the wail, hold it nearly in front of the mirror between the lat ter nnd tlig window. When you have adjusted the distance to the focal length of the mirror, you will see an Image of the window projected on the paper. By varying the distance as be fore you will be able to produce at will pictures of nearer or more remote ob jects. It Is In this way that Images ar? formed at the focus of the mirror of a reflecting telescope. MlUrltT I" " CHas. Rogers.Druggist very a Month Pi mm H Um PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE LysSla E.
