out of few simple materials by an ingen-
Ious boy.
Procure from q tinman several sheets Of
tin and a small piece of tin pipe, into which
the lens will fit nicely. Then go to work
with a soIdering-iron and construct square
box. the dimensions of which may be foot
or foot and a half each way. There must
be a round opening on one side into which
the pipe holding the lens is fitted, door at
the back to admit lamp, and u hole in the
top for the chimney. A reflector fits in the
opposite side to the door, and can be drawn
forward at pleasure; and space is left to
allow the introduction of the slides.
The room when prepared for exhibiting,
must be entirely dsrkened, and the slides
are then slipped in, upside down. The lens
brilliantly reflects and magnifes the figures,
previously painted on the glass, on to a
white sheet suspended from the ceiling.
Thus any subjects-lsndscapes, figures, or
animals-become enlarged, according to the
distance the lantern ia removed from the
sheet, and the size and quality of the lens.
Now for the slides These require some
artistic talent, but not vast amount. If
youth has vein of comic talent, it will add
TO the fun, or he may easily procure prints
from which TO copy. Some, however prefer
scenery, natural objects, ETC., all of which,
if well painted, show well in the magic Ian
tern.
First procure the glass, cut to the size
required, so that it Will slip easily into the
opening in the lantern; then trace the out
line, having the colors ready, which can be
purchased of any artists colorman.
Observe that the dry colors must be
ground very fine, and mixed with spirits of
turpentine, and worked in with mastic var
nish. Especial care must be taken that
enough varnish be used to moisten the
color sufficiently, and prevent its being
limpy while working on the glass; also great
judgment is necessary in laying on colors,
as they ought to be transparent as possible.
In the event of the picture being humor-
Gus and part of it movable, the lat
ter must be managed by long slip of glass
affixed to the slide, previously framed round
for instance barber shaving man.
The whole of The painting should be ex-
ecuted on the slide, except the BARRIERS arm,
which must be traced and colored on the
narrow slip, and then arranged so as TO COM
plete the figure. This is easily done, by the
slip fastening into the frame. Then by q
quick movement of the narrow piece of
glass, backward and forward, while exhib-
ting, an appearance of reality is given, and
the operation of shaving is successfully per-
formed

A Child,s Notion About Thunder.

1t is seldom that any but distant rumbles
of thunder are heard in this part of Nevada
The sharp, rafting peals that rent the air
yesterday were therefore something new
and astonishing to most Of the youngsters
of the city. While some rushed for their
homes with eyes distended and hair flying,
Others dsrted forth into the open air and
began gazing wildly about to see what had
''busted." One bright little fellow, who was
out on the porch watching the descending
hail as it ratified on the fences and bounced
upon the ground, when the fret heavy
crash came, rushed indoors, crying, o, ma,

And out of their reach, high, and higher,
Rose the red coils OF the serpent ire
With startled sight for while they gazed.

Then up, though mis- heart beat wild with dread,
The eldest climbed to a shelf o'erhead,
And soon, with spiptter and hiss OF steam
When the the father and mother came back that
They had gone to a neighboring Church to pray
Each looked, but with half-averted eye,
On the awful doom which had Just passed by.
