Magic Sierenxrnn nj.

Mr.. Frederick +. Ives, OF Philadei.
phia, recently DESCRIBED at the Frank.
lin Institute new method of produc-
Ing stereoscopc pictures. While the
process is chiefly interesting as Il
scientific novelty, he suggests that it
could be employed in the production
OF popular illusions, such, for instance.
as magical gallery of sculpture, in
which the statues would appear to be
life sized and as il seen through and
beyond glass behind which there
was nothing but empty space. This
Illusion would be heightened by the
fact that in viewing the images no
stereoscope or other optical aid would
be required. The result Is obtained
by photographng the images on
sensitive plate in camera, through

half-tone work, the image being formed
with n suitable lens, behind which are
two small apertures placed at the pu-
plllary distance apart In viewing the
