Copying-camera. Solar camera; the sun's rays are transmitted through a transparent negative. Stereoscopic camera; two cameras in one, taking two pictures on the same plate. A substitute arrangement is that in which the camera receives successive positions on one stand with two stations. Camera-lucida. Camera-obscura. Camera-stand. Cam-gear wheel. Panoramic camera, one in which a picture may be taken upon one flat, including an angle of 90° more or less. Invented by Sutton. See also photographic camera. Cam′e-ra-lu′ci-da. Founded upon the invention of Baptista Porta (1589), by Dr. Hooke, about 1674. Improved by Wollaston, 1805. Phil. Trans., Vol. XXXVIII. p. 741. It consists of a glass prism a b c d, by means of which rays of light are bent by two reflections into a path at right angles to their previous direction. A ray of light proceeding from O enters the face of the prism at a, is reflected by b and c till it assumes the direction c E, at whi

erals of Napoleon, moral, immoral, and temperance serials, trades, arts, politics, overland routes to India, emigration to Australia and New Zealand, and, to cap the climax, a cyclorama of the great Lisbon earthquake, which happened about one hundred years previously. Pan-o-ram′ic Cam′e-ra. （Photography.) One in which pictures may be taken on one flat plate, including an angle of 90°, more or less, as required, without introducing defects due to oblique pencils of light. Invented by Sutton. The lens-tube is turned about its axis and directed in succession to the different portions of the field, the dark slide moves with it and presents the proper portion of the sensitized plate opposite to the lens. Pan′o-type. （Photography.) A name given to collodion pictures. Panste-re-o-ra′ma. A model of a town or country in wood, papier-mache, cork, etc., in which the objects are shown in the proportional relief. Pan-tel′e-graph. An instrument invented by the A

ves, and expelled by valves opening outwardly. It required the labor of two men, and the inventor claimed that it was capable of discharging 6 tons of air per minute; but it appears to have met with but little success. About the same period, Sutton proposed to ventilate ships by pipes leading from the well and other parts of the vessel to the galley fire, which was to receive its sole supply of air through these tubes. Hales's ventilator. 1. The ventilation of buildings, though more ator for ships is commonly a wind-sail; a large tube of canvas having an expanded mouth, which is turned in the direction of the wind while the tube is directed down the hatchway, conveying the air to the lower deck. The contrivances of Hale and Sutton have been mentioned. Dr. Thiers, of New York, has patented (November 29, 1870) an apparatus in which the oscillating motion of mercury contained in a horizontal tube or tubes running athwartships and fore and aft, producing a partial vacuum, is
