A Happy New Year To ALL. Mr. Tuomas Boras (editor ‘ Photographic Work ’’), in commenting on our article in last issue, ‘‘ Old Coal Gas,” says,in explanation of the deposits we described, ‘‘ that iron and carbon monoxide slowly unite together, forming the curious volatile compound iron carbonyl, and when the contaminated gas is burned, oxide of iron is formed as a deposit on the limes, the light being consequently reduced to a fraction of what it should be.” WirH this issue we commence a series of articles upon ‘‘ How to Get, Please, and Maintain an Audience.” These articles are written by Mr. E. Baker, of Salisbury, a practical and consulting lanternist of nearly thirty years’ experience, so our readers will doubtless learn many hints in connection with lantern entertainments. Av the Lantern Society, 20, Hanover Square, a lecture of particular interest will be given on Monday, 23rd inst., at 8 p.m. precisely, by Myr. C. Goodwin Norton on the practical management of a triple lantern, including various meaus of obtaining incandescence with different makes of oxygen, the registration of effects, &e. We understand that Myr. Norton is to use five lanterns, and intends to illustrate the lecture very fully. It is expectcd that a large audience will be present. We shall be pleased to send tickets to any of our readers on receipt of a stamped envelope.
