Tx reply to the article on page 65 of our last issue, respecting a new name for magic lantern, we have received the following names, whilst a number of readers state that to adopt another name for the useful apparatus so long known as magic lantern, would be an impossibility.

Polyopticon Photoprojector. Photo-opticon. Projecting Lantern. Scenic Projector. Sciopticon. Unopticon. Biopticon. Triopticon. Many who have suggested names, say (and truly so) that everybody knows what a magic lantern is, and to give a@ new name to an apparatus so well known under its present one would only result in a general misunderstanding for many years to come. The general verdict seems to be ‘‘ Let well alone, and call a magic lantern a magic lantern.”
