Obtain a piece o f blackened card ana
make a hole in It with a needle; then
place a very small object— say. for In
stance, a tiny insect— on the end of a
pin or gum to a strip of glass and view
this object through the needle hole In
the card at about an Inch from i t T be
Insect will appear quite distinct and
about ten times larger than its natural
size. If. however, you suddenly with
draw the card without disturbing tbe
object, the latter will be invisible. The
reason Is that the naked eye cannot see
at so short a distance as an inch, but
the card with the hole ennbles the eye
to approach within an Inch and to see
not only well, but, as It were, ten
times better than with the naked vi
sion.
