' How many of us while using magic lanterns have wondered how they were first made? Indeed they are of very respectable antiquity. As early as the seventeenth century a Jesuit named Klrcher constructed one. It was a very crude affair, and as he was not unwilling to excite the fears of the persons who witnessed his exhibitions he called It a "magic" lantern, and so it has always been called. There are reasons to believe that the lantern was In use even earlier than the seventeenth century and that the mysterious flares which the old as trologers produced In the Brooke of their mystic res were rnvljced In the same way as Klrcher rreJuccJ the saoke hiding tbe lantern.
