46 THE AMERICAN MUSEUM JOURNAL 
March 19.— CHar_es F. Fay, “The Grandeur of the Canadian Alps, or 
Mountaineering in a New Switzerland.” 
Professor Fay, who is a former president of the American Alpine Club, 
has had an extended personal experience in the Canadian Rockies which 
has given him exceptional opportunities to secure illustrations of the scenery 
of this marvellously beautiful region. From a detailed presentation of its 
main features the lecture passes to a narrative of high ascents. 
March 26.— W. P. Hay, “The Applicability of Color Photography by the 
Lumiére Process to Scientific Work.” 
Mr. Hay will explain the method of handling the Lumiére plates and 
demonstrate the principles upon which they are based. Direct color-photo- 
graphs will be projected by the stereopticon to illustrate the accuracy with 
which the colors of shells, butterflies, beetles and other strikingly colored 
objects may be reproduced by this process. 
April 2.— Cuirron F. Hopaer, “The Propagation and Domestication 
of American Game Birds.” 
Professor Hodge has accomplished what was at one time thought to be 
the impossible task of raising Quail and Grouse in confinement. His 
experiments have not only permitted him to photograph drumming Grouse, 
and in other ways to gain a new insight into the lives of these birds, but they 
have high economic value. 
April 9.— O. P. Austin, “Queer Methods of Transportation.” 
A view, by motion pictures and stereopticon slides, of the curious methods 
of travel and transportation encountered in a trip around the world; the 
crude methods of the Tropics and the Orient are contrasted with the modern 
systems of Europe and America, and some suggestions are presented regard- 
ing the possibility of development of the Tropics and the Orient through the 
introduction of modern methods.
