enough, but isn't that boy's soul, his 

 future, his development along right 

 paths, his success or failure, worth in- 

 finitely more than a few paltry dollars? 

 But even at that, in a short time, by 

 triumphing over failures, he may with 

 your help, if you study and show him 

 how, make money out of the business 

 to pay back the "awful expense(?)" In 

 the September number of The Guide 

 to Nature are several photographic ex- 

 amples of some of nature's oddities or 

 "freaks," which are always interesting 

 to beginners, and even to old timers 

 if the freaks are as good as those on 

 pages 148 to 154 of the number referred 

 to. The camerist is always on the look- 

 out for something unusual. 



There are many different kinds of 

 pictures to be had, of different degrees 

 of interest to different people, but that 

 question will dispose of itself. Some 

 will see beauty in an old rail fence, and 

 such a picture will soon be a memento 

 of by-gone days in some localities, and 

 is already so in some others. Some will 

 go into ecstasies over a lone tree stand- 

 ing like a sentinel in a certain exposed 

 position on a river bank. Others will 

 be delighted by certain forms of clouds.
