Many CorresponDENTS STILL FORWARD THEIR Communics TIONS To THE Ox_p Appress. WILL THEY PLEASE NOTE tHaT Our ADDRESS IS 56 CHANCERY LANE, LONDON, W.C. Notes. A CORRESPONDENT in Queensland, who had been ordering goods advertised in our columns, writes :—‘‘ Customs duty here is killing, 25 per cent. on alllantern goods.” * a On page 89 of this issue appears the first part of a short story (the actual experience of the writer) which can easily be illustrated by the hand camera lanternist. Suitable views may be obtained in almost every locality; it is suggested that the places where the numbers will be found will perhaps be the part best suited for the illustrations. Our correspondent in a note states that he has given the outline only of the incidents which can be elaborated by the entertainer himself, and for temperance purposes the hero, Fred Angel, might be represented as a friend of the temperance cause. A slight dramatic interest will be noticed in most of the paragraphs, # * # Messrs. Apmitr and Nauntoy, of Shrewsbury, have issued a neat list of the most interesting views to be obtained in their town. They embrace the subjects in three routes, give a short description of each, and also state which hour of the day is most suitable for obtaining a good photograph of each particular view. % * Wirs reference to the article ‘“‘A Lantern Service’ on another page, Mr. F. J. Balson (the writer) states, that if any reader wishes to know anything further connected with the same he will be pleased to send to anyone enclosing a stamped envelope. Letters sent care of our office will at once be forwarded to Mr. Balson.
