THE GUIDE TO NATURE 



Vacation at the Maplewood. 



The Maplewood Museum of Natural 

 Science and The Maplewood Biologi- 

 cal Laboratory, of Stamford, Connecti- 

 cut, have issued the following notice: 



"Owing to a necessary absence of the 

 owners and managers of the museum 

 and laboratory, in South America, both 

 establishments will close until the last 

 week in April, 1913, when we will 

 again be ready to carry on our former 

 business and correspondence." 



We congratulate Paul Griswold 

 Howes, the General Manager, and Ar- 

 thur Gordon Howes, Manager of 

 Shops, upon this very enjoyable op- 

 portunity of adding to their collections 

 and their scientific knowledge. We 

 hope to be able in a few months to 

 report some of their experiences dur- 

 ing their scientific excursions to South 

 America, which we hope will not only 

 be interesting but profitable. 



A Doe in the Center of a City. 



Stamford, a short time ago. had an 

 exciting chase after a doe that had 

 wandered into the city from the 

 country, probably from the vicinity of 

 Long Ridge. The doe was first seen 

 at the freight yards in the southern 

 part of the city, and then started on a 

 wild rush up town. At a cigar store 

 she made a dash through a pane of 

 glass. Then men from the telephone 

 office started in pursuit and finally cap- 

 tured her with considerable difficulty. 

 It took several strong men to hold her. 



RELEASING THE DOE IN NORTHERN 

 STAMFORD. 



She was put in a wagon, and taken 

 to the northern part of Stamford 

 where, just beyond the Roxbury 

 Bridge, she was carried into the open 

 meadows, the ropes were untied and, 

 almost exhausted by her struggles, she 

 was set free. She stood in the middle 

 of the river for some time drinking 

 and enjoying the cold water, and then 

 went slowly into the bushes beyond.
