AND PHOTOGRAPHIC ENLARGER. 23 ‘Tylar’s Latest Vice—The Gripper, a simple and cheap form of holder for use in binding lantern slides, well made in oxydised brass on wood stand, this is very different from the cheap cast iron clamp on the market. Price, Qs. The Hall-Edward’s Slide Binding Clamp. A superior made article, with brass fittings on mahogany stand, an ingenious appliance for manipulating lantern slide and the binder which is placed in the groove shown in the baseboard, the clamp being movable is brought down so that each edge of the slide can he pressed i in contact with the binder. Price, 5s. 6d. Our old friend The “ Dreadnaught” Acetylene Generator, comes out this season with a clean face, that is, all parts that can be polished are <> il nickled and present a brighter appearance. The bell and carbide holder are so treated, and a useful addition is a funnel, which when not in use fits over the spring of the carbide holder and keeps off the strain of the bell. £2 2s. sent to Mr. Wm. Tylar, of Aston, will bring along a complete outfit for the production of the acetylene gas. RAKE K Correspondence. IJALESOWEN. October Gth, 1902.

Wishing your interesting and useful journal every success. [ remain Sir, Yours respectfully, W. J. Borer.’ Nrw PiLyMournH, N. Z., June 12th, 190.2. To the Editor, “DKAR Srp,—It is a long time since J wrote to you and gave you any account of my work and travels on this side ‘of the world. Since I wrote last J have travelled all through N.S. Wales, Queensland, and ain at this present time giving entertainments all through New Zealand. N. Z.is a very charming colony and a most delightful colony to travel through. Within a few days we shall be in the Hot Lake District, and in the midst of the Wonder Land of the World, but for years this country has heen overdone with picture shows of all kinds. When we leave New Zealand it is my
