Now, if we place the eye very near the objects and atrifle above the top of the supposed lighthouse, there will beno reflection visible at all, as shown in Figure i. If, stillkeeping the eye at the same distance, we gradually lower ? p Figure 2. the result is slightly improved, as in Figure 2. The lower box,representing the pier-head, is now reflected, and just the topof the lighthouse, but no more. Evidently, other things beingequal, a lower standpoint gives more reflection than a highone. To get a yet better result, we must move the eye furtheraway, though still retaining it at the previous level, when at acertain distance the whole subject will be seen reflected, as inFigure 3. A number of experiments like this, with different combina-tions of objects, will be very instructive, and will enable the 240
