4 WONDERFUL SHOW

At the Academy last night for the first
time i'll this city, Edison's Proiectoscope.
OF all the wizards many inventions this
is perhaps one of the most ingenions'and
brain puZZling, and the one most likely
TO give pleasure to the greatest number
of people. A direct descendant of til.
vitascope, which. in it's turn was the
outcome Of the kaleidoscope. this latest in.
Nention must in no sense be COMPOUNDED
with the magic-lantern, so familiar to
everyone. Beyond the fact that the pic
lures shown are thrown upon an illumi.
mated canvas, there is no other point of
resemblance, for not only does the pro-
Jectoscope cast upon the canvas IL life
size picture, bnt it, at the same time, en-
dues the picture with life and motion, so
that the spectator could we'll. nigh swear
that what he sees is taking place i'm actual
flesh and blood. Prancing, curvetinp
horses, led by lifclike grooms; IL fast en-.
press bending around IL curve ut light
ming speed, its smoke stacks belching
black clouds of smoke for every revolu-
tion of the piston; falling sprays Of
water. opalescent in the sunlight, and IA
thousand other objects all seemingly en-
dowed with life and action are some of
the pictures cast by this marvellous
piece of human ingenuity. To appreciate
it, i5 must he seen, and we venture the
assertion that from last nights enthu-
sinstic reception, there will be few in the
city that will fail tn see it during it's
week stay with --us. 4 matinee will he
given at 2:3O each day, aud no school
child should let the opportunity pass to
see this marvel of mechanism
The audience last night was represen.
