wife of Joseph Campbell, of that

years old, is said to be fully adequate
to the task Of nurturiDg them. The
parents of the triplsts are very poor,
living in a log cabin, on a three acre

their sole earthly possession. except
the tripIets and two other children,
the result of FIVE years of married life.

The invention Of the magic lantern dates
back to 1850, and is attributed to Profes

focused upon something capable of refiec-
ton, such as a wall or screen No essen
tlal changes in the principles of construc-
ton have been made since the time of Kir-
cher; but the modern improvements in
lenses, lights and pictures, have raised the
character of the instrument from that of
mere toy to an apparatus of the highest
utility. BY its employment the most won
derful forms of creation, invisible PERHAPS.
to the eye, are not only revealed but repro
duced in gigantic proportions, with all the
marvellous truth of nature itself. The sue
cess Of some of the most celebrated demon
stratons of Faraday, Tyndal, Doremus.
Merton, and othe rs was due to the skilfuI
use of the magi0 lantern. As an educator
the employment of this instrument is rap
idly extending. Ne school apparatus is
complete without it; and now that trans
parencies are so readily multiplied by pho
Biography upon glass, and upon mica, OF
gelatin, by the printing press or the pen.
1T is destined to find place in every house
hold; for in it are combined the attractive
qualities Of beauty, amusement, and in
struction.
The electric light affords, probably, the
strongest and best illumination for the
magic lantern; then comes the magnesium
| light; but their use is little troublesom,
and rather expensive; next to these in llu-
minating power is the oxy-hydrogen OF
Drummond light. The preparation of the
gases and the use of the calcium points
I involve considerable skill.
Need has long been felt for some form of
the magic lantern, having strong light,
but more easily produced than any of thos,
just mentioned; and this has at last been
accomplished, after several years study
and experiment, by Prof L. ]. Marcy,
G32 Arch St, Philadelphia, Pa.
The "Scioptican," is the name of his
new instrument, and from actual trial we
find that it possesses many superior quail
ties. Its lenses are excellent, and in illu-
minating power its light ranks next to the
oxy-hydrogen. The sciopticon light is pro
duced from ordinary coal oil by an ingeni-
