The physics laboratory has received

plainly the rays of light passing
through lens. and shows how images
are formed through lenses.
The instrument consists of an iron
disk and semicircular shade mount
ed on heavy iron tripod so as to ad.

common horizontal axis. To the disk
is attached autographed protract-
or graduated in degrees, every tenth
degree is indicated by heavy black
figures. and between these figures the
lines. This Arrangement of the pro.
tractor makes it easy to measure the
various angles. The lenses, prisms and
minors are fastened to the prOtractOr

Is provided with three Sits in one
half and seven in the other. Each
slit is provided with spring to hold
cclored plates for the purpose of show

The light is reflected to the slide
plate by the use of mirrors and no
dark room is required for any of the
thirty experiments that can be per-
formed with it.
Mrs. Brewer is thinking of getting
mirror for the girls to use in the mus

The third year geometry class is
