the lantern means the exchan$e of ideas and           dIdiscussion about one's own pictures.
No known method of exhibitinf, photographs
to their best advanta$e can compare with
projecting them as slides in a lantern.
Beautiful as direct prints and enlar$ements
can be made, they will ever lack the brilli-
ancy of the real thing-the light and move-
ment of life is wanting. The latter can be
rendered with a cinematograph, but the light
itself can be best featured with a lantern
slide.
Lantern lectures can also be bou$ht or hired,
and. this method provides an unlimitable
means of showin$ and illustrating almost
any desired subject.
In the class-room or church the merits of the                 {

as to the ear  For or$anised. lectures andscientiftc work'it excels all other methods          I

wise, and. for displayin$ election results, it
