Stamford is well epitomized in its Board of Trade slogan, "Busy and Beautiful Stamford." Her 

 natural beauties enhanced by progressive and constant development, — her natural resources and advantages 

 aided by the work of an efficient and aggressive Board of Trade and body of merchants, the City of Stamford 

 stands for all that is modern and progressive.

Definitions that Define! 



As the reader may not be entirely 

 familiar with the characteristics of the 

 cony, the new Standard Dictionary's 

 description may be quoted : "A daman 

 or hyracoid ungulate, as Hyrax syria- 

 cus, identified with the cony of the 

 Bible ; an ashkoko." This identifica- 

 tion may be matched for intelligibility 

 to the ordinary inquirer with that of 

 "crawfish" in the Century Dictionary : 

 "The common name of the small fluvi- 

 atile long-tailed decapod crustaceans 

 of the genera Astacus Cambarus." 

 These definitions may be well enough 

 for scientific purposes ; other works 

 describe the cony as a small, burrow- 

 ing animal, resembling the marmot, 

 found in Asia and America. — The Out- 

 look. ■ 



The Guide to Nature is always re- 

 ceived with fresh inspiration, as every 

 article seems to be one of uplift and 

 encouragement. It seems to me that 

 every number is better than the pre- 

 ceding -one. — George W. Carver, Di-
