10 McAllister, Optician, 49 Nassau St., New York. The " Paintings in Pairs, or .<v's, for Dissolving Views," are painted with express reference to the production of fine effects, though any two paintings of the same size will answer for dis- solving, care being taken that itiere is a general likeness of light and shade. For instance, a painting having a very light object in its centre will notdissolve handsomely into another painting having a very dark object in the centre. Striking and amusing effects, however, are often produced by dissolving with paintings of entirely different character, and the unexpected change will excite and keep up the interest of an audience—thu-- a landscape may dissolve into a chromatrope or a portrait; or a comic figure may, by the dissolving arrangement, be introduced into a landscape, etc. SUfGlE MAGIC LANTERNS, with COAX OIL LAMPS, m^<=>.
