It is a waste of time to read about events without a knowledge of the places where they occurred. The McDonald School and Library Globe supplies a want long felt in the school room and family circle. It is a happy work of reference for the parent and teacher in historical and literary research, and a delightful entertain- ment of object lessons in the grandest of all the sciences for the child. It is an ingenious combination of four separate instruments, heretofore used to demonstrate the phenomena of Geography and Astronomy, into one device, at one-fourth the cost, making it obta'.iable every- where. It can be used as a plain reference globe, a tellurian, a lunarian and celestial sphere. It can be arranged with a jet of light at the centre so as to reflect sunshine and shadow on the globe, so that by darkening the room and revolving the globe on its axis, and in its orbit, it shows the succession of day and night] the varied length of day and night, the six months night and six months day at the poles, change of seasons, varied degrees of heat and cold, phases of the moon, eclipses and all the phenomena of the sun, earth and moon according to the Copernican theory. Its construction is simplicity itself, doing away wilh the old celestial sphere altogether, and with all the cog wheels, straps, cords, pulleys, wooden horizons, brass meridians, day and night circles, etc., making it true t^ nature ; by ihe artificial sunshine and shadow demon- strating the laws of light and heat. The Celestial Sphere is formed by a spherical drop curtain, the constellations and celestial measurements by admitting light through perforations in the curtain, or it may be painted in silver gilt on a blue back ground on the curtains, walls and ceiling of any room with beautiful effect in interior decoration and admirably adapted to private and public libraries, reading rooms, class rooms, lecture rooms and scienjce halls. It can be shown with most striking effect on the ceiling, walls and curtains of a domed room the moveable planets revolving around a jet of light at the center and the fixed stars in their exact mathematical location at the circumference, so that by dropping the curtains and darkening the room it presents a beautiful night sky in daytime thus demonstrating the concrete plan of the uni- verse in as many hours as it will take years to get even a superficial idea of it from the printed page. The whole is explained by a book of three hundred pages with beautiful engravings of every department of the science and a minute description for manipulation and use. The work is considered to be the most beautiful and ingenious device of mechanic-art and scientific progress of three centuries in its line, because it brings within the comprehension of the simplest child "the grandest and noblest of all the sciences," because it will simplify, illus- trate, make clear and easy, what is now abstruse, mean- ingless and difficult, because it will give to the millions in rank file of the common schools and homes, every day and in all conditions of atmosphere, what is now confined to the tens in Universities by the slow and expensive medium of the telescope only on clear nights when the moon is away. The work was widely advertised at the World's Fair, got a high award of merit from the World's Fair Commission, was investigated and approved by committee of experts from the varied departments of art, science, education and industry, adopted by nearly all the educa- tional departments in Canada and the U.S., so far reached, approved by the Education Department of Ontario,' partially introduced into the Normal Schools of the Province, into the Public Schools, Separate Schools, Upper Canada College, Dupont Academy and many of the best families of Toronto and Ottawa. A. J. McDonald, the sole proprietor and patentee for home and foreign countries is carefully looking :'or a suitable location for the manufacture and sale of his work by trained agents to the homes, schools and markets of the world, an industrial enterprise that will give lucrative employment to a superior class of skilled labor, artists and artizans, and bring back the wholesale price to the place of output for redistribu- tion, thus creating a work of beneficence to Art, Sc?ence, Education and Labor.

John Millar. Deputy Minister. From the Toronto Public School Board. Messrs. A. J. McDonald & Co.. Dear Sirs,— I beg to inform you that the Toronto Public School Board at its last meeting accepted your tender to purchase twenty Globes, with appliances, as per contract. Yours truly. W. Wilkinson, Sec^-Trea^. From Jas. L. Hughes, Inspector Public Schools, Toronto. To Whom it may concern: - I have had the pleasure of examining McDonald's Terrestial and Celestial Apparatus, and have no hesitation in saying that I was agreeably surprised at its extreme simplicity and wonderful compre- hensiveness. ' 8 It clearly illustrates all the important phases oi c»*e relationship oi" the earth to the sun and moon ; makes the motions of the earth and moon clear ; shows the cause of the seasons in a very definite way ; and in fact, makes it possib'e to give children clear conceptions of the most important departments of mathematical geography, with an ap- paratus so simple in construction that there is no danger of its getting out of order. A very striking feature of Mr. McDonald's work is his Celestial Sphere design which seems to me to he admirably suited for Kinder- garten rooms or school rooms as well as for library rooms in private houses. By his design, accurate rapresentations of the celestial sphere can be placed in a room, without adding to the cost of plastering he sides and ceiling the ordinary way. The apparatus man' ^ is usually a dangerous individual. Mr. McDonald is quite the reverse, and I believe him competent to interest any gathering of intelligent men and women, whether teachers or other- wise, for an evening lecture, or at a meeting of a teachers' association. James L. Hughes. I I From W. F. Chapman, Public School Inspector, Toronto. To Whom it may concern : Having examined McDonald's Terrestrial and Celestial Apparatus, I am pleased to say that it possesses the two essentials of all school apparatus, viz., adaptability to do its work and simplicity of construction. It would not only be a great aid in the hands of an enthusiastic teacher in arousing a love in the minds of his pupils for the study of Mathematical Geography, but also enable him to lead them readily to understand the motions and relative positions of the sun, moon and other heavenly bodies, and consequent cause of the seasons, day and night, etc. W. F. Chapman. I I From Oavid Fothorlngham, Inspector Puoilc Schools, County of York. Mr. a. J McDonald. Dear Sir,- -I had the pleasure of hearing in part your very- interesting lecture to the Inspectors Department of the Ontario Educational Association, and of subsequently further investigating and appreciating your methods and appliances for illustrating " The Natural Co-relation of Geography and Astronomy." It was in accord with my cwn feelings that a unanimous vote of thanks and eppre- ciation was passed by our section of that Association. You- method of expounding the " four selections of fundamental principles from among the labyrinth of minuiiae," as you put it, will meet a long-felt want, and provide a practical and attractive means of demonstration in primary as well as ad- ADcd grades. Your Celestial Sphere feature is unique and artistic, and compara- tively cheap considering the wide range of phenomena you can illustn-.te b" the easy re-adjustment of the various parts. The best is always the cheapest, and as this is the best yet brought witi.in reach of our primary as well as secondary schools, it gives me pleasure to add my word of commendation to the many you have already received In Canada, as well as the United States. Yours very truly, D. FOTHERINGHAM. J I From the Toronto Separate School Board. A. J-.
