blue ground ; then gradually turn off the light from Mer- 

 cury till the blue tint alone appears, and from it bring out 



Slide 3. Ice View. Now gradually vanish the blue 

 light, and from the Ice View comes 



Slide 4 Mercury, medium size. The ice is made to 

 disappear, and the figure of Mercury to grow more and 

 more bright, and to be followed by 



Slide 5. Clouds, heavier than the former. Then 

 follow with 



Slide 6. Our new Lightning Effect. Cover the ob- 

 jective by passing the hand forward to the front of it, and 

 turn the dissolving-cock handle to the middle; with a quick 

 movement, uncover the objective two or three times, by 

 passing the hand back and forth in front of it ; then mov- 

 ing the lightning slide an inch or so, repeat the operation, 

 and so continue till all parts of the sky receive a due pro- 

 portion of electric display. Removing the lightning slide, 

 dissolve into the red tinter slowly, by withdrawing the hand 

 from before the objective with the fingers a little open, so as 

 to get a pretty effect of color upon the clouda, till they, in 

 turn, gradually disappear, followed by 



Slide 7 Mercury, largest size, which manage as be- 

 fore, so as to have a bright view of the figure with the rosy 

 background. Now vanish the tint and follow with 



Slide 8. A Colored Moonlight View, in which the 

 statue will appear to rest. 



This set of eight slides (equivalent to ten in lanterns 

 without tinter attachments), all in crystal form, for the 

 sake of uniformity, is priced at $6.00. 



Among other sets are the Magic Lily and Dance of the 

 Fairies, Venus Emerging from tlje Sea, the Flight of Time, 

 the Journey of Aurora, etc. The order of their showing is 

 indicated by the numbers attached to each slide. The tinters 

 and the same ice and clouds may be used with either set.
