CHINESE MAGIC LANTERNS.
How Their Instruments Diner From
Those gu Cse In This Country.


The magic lantern. like porcelain,
gunpowder and printing, may have
been an invention Of the Chinese. For
more than twenty centuries il has been
a staple amusement in the Celestial
empire and has been developed into
many forms unknown to the occident.
The Middle Kingdom which has been
well termed Topsy Turvy Land, uses
the magic lantern i'm just the opposite
manner from what we do, having the
light and picture behind the screen,
the same as in our parlor amusement
Of shadowgraphs. The commonest form
OF the magic lantern in the extreme orr
ent is a large box supported on a tri-
pod or four legged table The box is
about feet wide by high, and its
front is made OF ground glass, oiled
silk or oiled white paper.
over the box Is light framework OF
bamboo and cloth. which reaches to the
ground and conceals the operator from
the audience. but leaves the glass ex-
posed TO view. A powerful l1mp IN
front Of a concave reflector throws
strong light upon the glass or screen,
as the case may be. The top OF the box
and the sides are half open TO permit
the Introduction OF small figures. This
arrangement gives four distinct classes
OF instruments. With all four instru-
ments the exhibitions are given I'm the
streets. squares and market places.
They draw audiences ranging from five
70 thirty and give an entertainment OF
from FIVE 20 fifteen minutes in length.
Each spectator is supposed to contrib
ute / cash, or a twentieth OF a cent,
when the hat is passed around. Gener-
Gus or enthusiastic patrons frequently
give from 10 10 10 cash, so that the av-
erage performance nets the proprietor
about . cents. This seems ridiculous
TO Americans. but IN q land where an
ablebodied man can be hired for cents

lantern is looked upon as a very well

propositions. The first one will hardly
