GEORGE L. R.--You will see by the letter of Alice Paine in this
Post-office Box that she did give her right address. Why your letter
miscarried we can not explain.

* * * * *

H. SCOTT.--Send your full address, and we will gladly publish your
request for exchange.

* * * * *

W. CHAPMAN, MARY L. L., AND OTHERS.--Write directly to the address given
by those with whom you desire to exchange.

MAUD W.--Paste your leaves firmly to the paper, and leave them under
heavy pressure until they are dry, and you will not be troubled by their
curling up. When you take them from the press varnish them, and they
will give you more satisfaction.

G. W. DAVIS.--A projectile kaleidoscope may be of any convenient size,
varying from six to ten inches in length, fitted with two lenses--one at
the object end, to throw light from a lamp through the instrument, and
the other at the eye end, through which the image is projected on a
screen, placed at the proper focal distance. Any ingenious boy can fit
these lenses to an ordinary kaleidoscope, and fit it to a stand, which
may be placed on a table.

H. T. WILSON.--The correspondent you inquire about did not desire
exchange, and we have no authority to give full address. Any short
communication you may wish to make in reference to minerals will be
printed in Our Post-office Box.
