Magic Lanterns.
Magio lanterns were invented in the 17th century by a priest named Kircher. They were, of course, merely scientific toy 3 to their inventor ; but they excited such wonder among those who orowded to see them operated, that the word ' magic ' became permanently attached to them. Some think that the mysterious figures whioh the old astrologers produced in the smoke of their mystic fires were made by crude lanterns similar to those afterwards perfeoted by Father Kircher.
