VEET SEEVICEABLE POCKET COMPASS, 
Wo iiavo scoured a first-rate Pocket Comjiass, 
in a strong, polislied Brass Case, very similar to 
a watch case, 1% inches in diameter. The Dial is

quickly. It has a stop-bar, whicli is very im¬

THE ELECTRO RADIANT. 
The l) 0 dy of the ELECTRO RADIANT is a cone- 
shaped reflector which gathers each divergent ray of 
light and concentrates them all on the main reflector, 
whence the whole mass of brilliancy illuminates and pro¬ 
jects the picture -with slartUug clearness. No combination 
of lenses, liowever ingenious, has ever been known to pro¬ 
duce equal effects with the light used. 
The Lantern is made entirely of metal. Including the 
smoke-stack, it stands over 16 inches high when ready for 
use, but when taken .apart it goes into a bo.x 11 x 9 x 12, small 
enough to carry in the hand. There are 12 slides with 
2i-iuch pictiucs packed with each Lantem. 
Eor Parlor Entertainments hardly enough can be said 
in praise of the ELECTRO RADEINT 
MAGIC LANTERNS. They are now so 
constructed that youth of either 
sex can readily operate them, and amuse, 
time aud time again, the young .and 
old friends, too. Childi'eu gaze with sometimes 
silent and sometimes very loud wonder at the 
pictures on the screen, and it parents or friends 
wish to be held forever in remembrance, a pres¬ 
ent of a Magic Lantern will do the business. 
Parlor exhibitions are not alone for the yoimg. 
Grandpa and grandma, papa, mamma, 
uncles, aunts, cousins, the minister, the 
doctor, the xisitlngfriond, and neighbors 
far "and near enjoy it just as much as the 
youngsters. Tlu-ough oim improvements 
thousands of homes may nowbosupplied 
with a Lantern outfit at a moderate outlay, and joy be 
given not for a year onljq but for a life-time. 
Ill Institutions for the instruction of those thousands among us .who ar-e bei'eft of one or more 
faculties what more direct way of appealing to the remaining —often acutely sharpened—senses is 
there than through the medium of an illuminated, magnified piotoe on the screen in a darkened 
room 1 
For Earning Money by giving Public Entertainments the possessor of an ELECTRO RADI- 
j\NT has some^ing that will “ draw ” -with the combined power of the Theater, the Clreus, the 
Prestidigitateur, the County Fair, the Temperanee Crusade, and the Camp-Meeting. A room 
that will hold 100 persons may be filled nightly and a good profit be cleared. Our photograph sUdes 
represent faithfully Beautiful Works of ^Vrt, Sciiptuml Scenes, Portraits of Prominent Persons, and 
Coinio Subjects that arc a never-ending soui'oe of delight. 
A coiuparatlvely small amount of money will set a person up with an exhibition outfit which •nfill 
make better retiuns than the same amount Invested in any other- business we Imow of. A small outfit 
may oven be carried iu the hands, and the preparation for an exhibition can be made in a few minutes.

llluraln.ation. Only a screen and the app.aratus to transport and set up, aud you are ready for business.
