power , and it is the finest thing in the
world.
"It is really marvelous how ( the col-

it just as well as ono or a few persons.
It is the greatest thing in the lantern
slide line on earth. There is the most
wonderful magnifying power.
"The machine is 4 feet 11 inches
high and wide and about 22 inches

vantage , the pages of books , printed
plates , the braIn in all of its tissues
