NOVEL PIcrUREs.--A curious device,
whereby pictures of various kinds are
burnt on piece of ordinary-looking
rose-colored paper, has been brought
out by Berlin merchant, Herr Bergel.
You apply glowing match at two finely
perforated points, and the sparks com
municated then begin gradually to move
over the paper, working out the picture.
Neither leaves its proper path, or Injuries
the paper beyond, and when the end of
the path is reached, the spark goes out.
A negative and positive are thus OBJ
tanned, after the manner of silhouettes.
The continuance proves entertaining,
and may be employed for educational
purposes.
