MR. SCHLESSMAX'S PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDIES OF DUCKS. 



of time. Love of nature cannot be 

 commanded or taught, but in some 

 minds it can be stimulated. — "Our 

 Friend John Burroughs," by Clara 

 Barrus. 



Photograph of Many Ducks. 



Mr. E. H. Schlessman sends two re- 

 markable photographs of a flock of 

 canvasback ducks. In the foreground, 

 the ducks are at rest, or just begin- 

 ning a flight ; in the background the 

 majority are in flight. Mr. Schless- 

 man, an expert photographer, states 

 that the ducks were extremely tame 

 on account of the lack of food. This 

 explains why he was able to get so 

 near to them. 



Science is human experience tested 

 and set in order. The primal impulse 

 as well as the final purpose of science 

 is the conduct of life. — David Starr Jor- 

 dan in "The Stability of Truth." 



The Crowing Rooster. 

 Here is a perfect photograph of a 

 crowing rooster. It is lent to this 

 magazine by "Kodakery," a publica- 

 tion of the Eastman Kodak Company. 

 An ideal worth striving for has here 

 been realized. Note how perfect is the 

 detail of every part of the comb. Ob- 

 serve also the scales on the legs. The 

 pose too could not be improved. It 

 is a perfect piece of photography. It 



may well inspire every user of a 

 camera. Happy the camerist that can 

 equal it.
