58 SCIOPTICON MANUAL. LONG SLIDES. A very largo class of paintings, on strips of glass 12 or 14 inches long, have come down to us from a former generation. Many of them hardly deserve attention, but some Nursery Tales, Natural History, &c., are fair, and the Astronomical set, in particular, is excellent. Fig. 22. This set of ten astronomical slides, with forty-one illustrations, together with a set of astronomical dia- grams with rack-work motion, makes a very complete outfit for a series of astronomical lectures. DIORAMIC PAINTINGS WITH MOVING FIGURES. In the middle of a glass strip (shaped and framed tn in Fig. 22), a scene is painted, the rest being made opaque. Another glass strip, of similar size and shape, on which is painted along its whole length whatever is befitting, as figures, boats, &c., is made to pass in front in grooves, so as to represent a long procession; of this class, the children of Israel passing through the Red Sea is an ex- ample ; or, the enterprising smugglers secreting contra- band goods in the smugglers' cave. THE GHOST. A description of the modern "ghost" may be looked for here,, but it is not strictly a magic lantern production.
