7. A new attachment for the Lantern.—It is often desirable to 
throw upon a screen the images of objects which must be preserved 
in a horizontal position; such for example as liquids, or solids im- 
mersed in liquids. Various devices have been tried for securing 
this end: all of them more or less imperfect. Recently, however, 
President Morion, of the Stevens Technological Institute at Hobo- 
ken, has devised a form of apparatus for this purpose which is 
an 
quite simple and ingenious, and whic 
This beam enters the apparatus a 
A, is received upon a mirror in- 
clined 45°, which reflects it verti- 
cally through the third lens placed 
horizontally at C. This lens con- 
back in the ordinary way with pure 
silver, yet there is no want of defi- 
nition in the images produced, and 
the color is too slight to be appre- 
ciable by an audience. We wit- 
nessed the performance of the in- 
strument a short time ago 
tr 
be red by Messrs. Hawkins & Wale 
of Hoboken. It is exceedingly creditable to them in the excel- 
i G. F. B 
of its construction and finish.
