BIOGRAPHICAL 



The Stone Age. 



The Editor has received from Messrs. 

 Houghton Mifflin Company, of Boston, two 

 beautiful volumes entitled "The Stone Age 

 in North America." These are illustrated by 

 723 plates, mostly full page, of weapons, 

 ornaments, utensils and various implements 

 made use of by the ancient Indians in Amer- 

 ica. The work was written by Professor 

 Warren K. Moorehead of Andover, who has 

 spent some twenty-five years in the study 

 of the Indian, both ancient and modern. 

 We recommend this work to all persons who 

 are interested in the strange art of the 

 American Indians. 



Messrs. Houghton Mifflin, 4 Park St., 

 Boston, Mass., will send a circular describ- 

 ing the book to those who request same.

 ploits and their best fish stories.

 results of a bird census made on Christmas 

 Day in which the census-takers covered the

 bird life of almost any part of the United 

 States, and is of both popular interest and 

 scientific value.
