Reflection
Reflection it is related that Pythagoras could write
what he placed on a glass, and, by the reflection of the same
species, would make those letters appear upon the circle of the
moon, so plain as to be read by any person, some miles distant
from him. Cornelius Agrippa affirms the possibility of it,
and that the method of performing it was known to himsself and
others.
