THE PERSPECTOSCOPE enlarges pho- 
tographs by reflecting the view of both eyes to 
focus into one picture, avoiding the necessity of 
a double picture, which the stereoscope requires. 
From Prof. F. E. Sanford, LaGrange, Ml. : 
The perspectoscope left for me to examine is far 
ahead of a stereoscope. It is an excellent com- 
panion to the camera. 
From the Editor of the ‘* Photo-American,” 
New York: The effect in looking at pictures 
through this instrument is the same as one ob- 
tains when looking at a stereoscopic picture 
through a stereoscope. The instrument is well 
worthy of a prominent place in the homes of all 
photographers. 
From Prof. C. E. DeButts, Fairbury, Mll.-: 
I have used a perspectoscope for some time past, 
and consider it a very fine instrument. It can 
be used for any kind of a picture or photograph. 
It gives all the effect of a stereoscope without the 
necessity of using double pictures. 

From Horace B. Patton, Professor of Geology, Colorado State School of Mines: I have 
been making use of one of your Perspectoscopes with great satisfaction during the past month. 
For all small photographs, especially four or five inches, it certainly brings out the perspective 
surprisingly well. The perspectoscope ought to meet with a ready sale among the thousands of 
‘amateur photographers. 
From G. E. Layton, Patchogue, N. Y. It is just what I have been looking for and I would 
not take ten dollars for it if.I could not get another. It doubles the value of the camera. 
Ask your dealer for it. If he does not handle it get him to order it for you, or, we will send 
one, morocco finish, express paid, on receipt of $2.00. Perspecto pamphlet free.

Charley, though a small boy had been 
with his Papa on a-civil engineering trip 
through Mexico. Since his return he had 
been looked up to, with wonder and envy, 
by all the small boys of his neighborhood, 
and he liked it immensely. 
He was proceeding to astonish small 
- Harry, who had never been outside his 
county. 
“And at night we had to climb in the 
wagons; and the guards burned fires, and 
kept watch; and the wild cats screamed, 
and the lions roared till you couldn’t sleep, 
and the taggers came rs 
“You hold on there, you're wrong,” 
broke in Harry. Wreainto tageers, 11S 
tigers.” 
“T tell you ’t’s taggers.” 
For a moment the travelled young man 
careened on his pedestal; then he recov- 
ered with a mental gyration, worthy of a 
Philadelphia lawyer. 
“Ho! - them old book ‘tigers’! These 
are a new kind they have just found 
out, and they are called ‘taggers’ ’cos they 
tag round and kill people.” Py

We are always curious to know the kind of 
plate put out by the various makers ; and, as 
we had never tried this new concern’s pro- 
duct, we decided to investigate. The Lovell

Sipretiioe The extra rapid brand, sensito- 
meter 60, was selected for the test, and to 
them we gave every manner of trial. They 
behaved beautifully in portraiture, building 
up pluck nicely in several kinds of developer, 
neither coming up too fast to govern readily, 
nor too slowly for one’s patience —just a

admired the way they responded to slight 
changes in the developer. Some were put 
in the pyro containing no alkali, and then 
the alkali added, a little at a time—just to 
watch the effect. Every drop counted, and 
our experience has left us with a respect for 
the plate, as one which can be moulded

sponsiveness to changes in the developer, 
(making it plastic in the operator’s hands), 
its general adaptability to any sort of work 
and its low price make it worthy of unhesi- 
tating recommendation. — From The Photo;
