Upside down.
This dark room was contrived by
Porta about the middle of the Sixteenth
century, He improved it later BY
placing a glass lens in the aperture,
and outside n mirror which received
the rays of light and reflected them
through the lens so that the image
upon the opposite wall within was
made much brighter, more distinct and
in n natural or erect position. This
was really the first camera obscura, nn
invention which is enjoyed to the pres

hilltop, where picturesque country
surrounding may be reflected through
a lens, which is placed in the center OF

end and q ground glass screen ut the

the steamboat, who introduced pano-

in favor of Thayer, perhaps in order to
give his attention to the application of
steam to boats. Thayer raised ro-
