These aire (r vlftilation. .''here are two doors, but'no windows. The Octagon stands upon a platfqru, and iv apprachod bg steps. As you enter the door you dop beforo ,you a oibund wbito tabl6, about the size of an ordinary card table. In the con tre overhead is a cylinder that re seinbles a piece of stovo pipe.

The Eighth avenue oars rolled ilong on oite side anJ stoain ears rattled p:1st on the others The spoke of every wheel and the. face of every passenger were cloarly maiked.

Every portion of the park, not shut ff by some physical obstruc tion, was'in turn reflected, and the attitude and ipotion of each persbn, walking or seatecl, is distincti seon The camera produced upon th table a series of pictures most lerdtifu, 'and startling, the moving figures .approaching, receding, crossing making itasena like a glimpse of fairy land.
