Do
1. Use the standard size of
lantern slides in the country

with moderate intensity, then
they can be used with all lan¬
terns, no matter what the source
of light (§327).
3. Make the picture small
enough so that all desired parts
can be projected (§ 334).
4. Take pains in mounting
the slides so that thfc frame will
appear suited to the subject
(§ 334)-
5. In making slides direct on
the varnished glass, write finely,
neatly and clearly (§ 316).
6. Printed or written matter
on the slide should be large
enough to be read by all in the
room C§ 325)-
7. Mark or spot the lantern
slides so that they can be in¬
serted in the holder without
hesitation (§ 335).

so that any one can tell what it
is (§ 337)-

pieces of glass to make lantern

writing on the varnished slides.

unmarked and expect every

miscellaneous heap.
