In looking through a telescope, you have to move the sliding lens, nearer or farther from the eyepiece, don't you? Well, this adjustment is just exactly the way your eye is focussed.

Suppose you stand before a window, say a foot away. You see on the window before you a fly. He is distinctly seen by you; that is, the fly, as an object, is exactly focussed on the retina. Now, straight out from your eye, in the road, say 20 feet, is a horse and wagon. You see them, but not as distinctly as the fly.

When you look at the horse and wagon you lose sight of the fly, Now, why is this so? The two objects are in line. Try this experiment; any object will do, so long as the distances arc kept right W.
