but will sell the same to private parties, including one slide, for 75 cents.' " 

 The box consists of a block of wood the length of a slide and any width 

 desired. Grooves are sawn lengthwise nearly through the block for the 

 reception of the slides. A semicircular or U-shaped groove is cut 

 through the centre of the block transversely to the grooves above-men- 

 tioned. It leaves a clear place for the mount on the slide. The box is 

 easily made, and its cost is nominal.]
