The pleasures which a movie film offers to our eyes have been paid for with loss of sihgt of a man whose name is hardly known outsite the annals of science- Joseph plateau, a Belgian professor , born , in Brussels in 1801. He studied the mechanism of sight , beginning a series of most dangerous experiments at the nearly a month. But he went on exdperimenting, increasing the length time during which he looked into the sun , knowing that in the end, this would cost hin his sight. At the age of 42, he was completely and incurably blind ; the sun had destroyed the rentina of his eyes. But he continuted to work as well as he could until died at the age of 82 .Sciemce profited enormously from his research .He studied the so-call inertia of the eyes which makes a picture remain on the retina for about one-sixth of a second it has disappear from our vision .This means that , if we see a succession of individual pictures each of which appears only for a fraction of a second, they "overlap" one another in -our brain; and if they show consecutive phases of movement, that movement will appeare to us continuos. 1.
