MCINTOSH BATTERY AND OPTICAL CO., CHICAGO, ILL., U. S. A. 59 Example : At 60 feet a One-Half size lens would cut a disc 18 feet square, or in diameter.

This Objective we have designed especiallyfor short range work. It will make a picture ahout five-eighths of its range, or, in other words, for every foot you go back from the canvas you increase your picture seven and one-half inches. It is one of the best Lenses made for use with the oil light. These Lenses are all accurately matched in pairs for dissolving Stereopticon work. LIMES. After a great deal of experimenting with the lime of the various parts of the country, we have finally obtained a lime the quality of which for use in Stereopticons we believe has never before been equaled. We are now making it up into cylindrical sticks 2 yi inches long and i inch in diameter, as perfect in shape as lime cylinders can be made, of good even quality, neither too hard nor too soft; their incandescent properties are unsurpassed. We put them up in hermetically sealed jars containing one dozen each—the cans being so constructed that they can be hermetically closed every time after they are used by the con- sumer. PRICE (per jar) one dozen Limes $1.25 We also furnish English Limes ; those that have a hole drilled through the center. Also the Disc Limes, such as are used in some of the old style Lanterns at the present day. PRICE, English Limes $2.00 per dozen. “ Disc Limes 2.50 One other desirable feature in hanging or putting up a screen is a good quality of rope. We supply the best grade Bird Island
