scope; and yet it is very unlike the ordi-
nary instrument called by that name.
The stereoecope. heretofore in common
use. although pleusing inotrument and
giving "solid view," as it's name indi-
Gates, does not give correct perspective,
the depth OF tho view being much exag-
Sernted; but the now instrument, which
we call the PERSPECrOSCOPE, not
only gives the "solid vicw," but gives tho
true perspective.
This is no doubt the most brilliant
discovery in this line OF optics since Pro.
isssor Wheatstone's time, seventy years
ago. Professor Whentstone, who WAS
the first to obtain the .'solid view" from
two pictures, based his invention on the
idea that 1.-TWO views taken from differ
ent standpoints" were absolutely necee-
sary for the purpose. Scientists and in-
ventors, ever since his time have written
and worked on that theory. The inven-
tor OF the Perspectoscope, however, be-
gan Investigations and operations on a
diiferent,theo that OF obtaining q per-
feet perspective, from two reflected ima-
gos OF single picture, and he has thus
upset the itens OF former scientists as
they now acknowledge.
Note also that the Perspectoscope has
nothing in common with the graphic
scope, which Is simply large magnify
ing glass, costing from $1,000 TO $500,
and gives only an enlarged fiat view,
The Perspectoscope Is q binocular in
strument which uses in its construction
two ground glass lenses and two mirrors
Of perfect rejecting surface, md is con-
structed on scientific principles just dis
covered by its inventor.
WHAT Is IT'S USEP
The same AZ the ordinary stereoscope,
but with the following differences and
advantages:
LIST. As above noted, it gives true
perspective. As you look at q picture
through the Perspectoscope you behold
scene, in every respect precisely like
the one compressed bv the camera which
took the picture. Men look just rs tall,
rivers Just a. wide, mountains just -

Tho stereoscope requires two pictures,
which must have been taken by pecu-

contain, until they are viewed through
this wonderful instrument.
