THE GUIDE TO NATURE 



THE SKATERS IN FRONT OF ARCADIA. 



talk about the stars and on our visits 

 to ArcAdiA, at Sound Beach, we look 

 through a telescope and see mountains 

 and craters and plains on the moon. 

 We also see planets and double stars.

The museum at the University of 

 Pennsylvania has been exhibiting a 

 new collection of South American pot- 

 tery, the work of a long extinct race of 

 which not even the tradition remains. 

 Among other features are immense 

 funeral jars in which two entire human 

 bodies could be seated side by side. 



The United States Bureau of Fish- 

 eries is just beginning systematic and 

 detailed work on the edible clams of 

 the Pacific coast. Little is yet known 

 of their life history ; but there seem 

 to be great possibilities of a cheap food 

 supply. 



ArcAdiA at Several Ages. 



The found of the seasons brings an 



ever changing series of panoramic 



views at ArcAdiA, represented by the 



climes and ages of the year. In our 



January number we showed the snow 

 age. Just previously to that we could 

 readily have shown, as was explained 

 in the article, the gondola age when all 

 our buildings, paths and fields present- 

 ed a fairly good picture of Venice. It 

 is no exaggeration to say that one 

 could have gone all over Nymphalia 

 and parts of our garden in a flat-bot- 

 tomed boat. Then came a long, dry, 

 cold snap and the glacial age was rep- 

 resented, much to the delight of the 

 young people who found the skating 

 on the Maher premises in front of Ar- 

 cAdiA, and also in Nymphalia, our 

 nature study park, entirely satisfactory, 

 as is shown in the accompanying illus- 

 tration.
