ONE of the latest adjuncts to the outfit of a lan i ternist is said to be a luminous crayon, by which diagrams may be drawn on a black board ina darkened room, soas to be visible to the audience. s ” ? Ir is reported that M. Lippman (Paris) has made advances in colour photography, and that by his system, colours throughout the whole range of the spectrum can be reproduced on a sensitive plate, just as accurately as outline and, | shadow are pictured by the present photographic negatives. * * * Durinc the past autumn the Temperance Van Mission have held a number of open-air lantern ‘exhibitions in towns in the south of England. The results have been so successful that several additional vans are to be sent out next season. «a bazaar in support of the scheme is to be held ‘during July at the Holborn Town Hall (London). A YANKEE chimney sweep is saidtodoa thriving business by advertising with atriple lantern. On a screen he projects a picture of a room and frre: place (labelled, before sweeping) ; smoke and | flame issue from the fire. After a while the same | view, with a comfortable fire burning, is pro‘jected (labelled, after being swept by ). 2 s > We learn from a local contemporary that Mr. W. Stock’s new oil lamp has been introduced, although we have not yet had an Opportunity of seeing it. The South Eastern Advertiser (Rye) speaks in high terms of it, and describes it as ‘his newly invented powerful (provisionally | patented) orl optical lamp—egual to the line “ight.” Our correspondents who have lately been inquiring about improving oil lamps will ' doubtless be glad to hear of this. * z Me.
