 the professional standpoint on the fundamentals of the 

 game. It tells the reader how to hold his racket, how 

 to swing it for the various strokes, how to stand and 

 how to cover the court. These points are illustrated

 trates the course of the ball in the progress of play and

47. TAXIDERMY, by Leon L. Pray. Il- 

 lustrated with diagrams. Being a practical taxidermist, 

 the author at once goes into the question of selection 

 of tools and materials for the various stages of skin- 

 ning, stuffing and mounting. The subjects whose hand- 

 ling is described are, for the most part, the every-day 

 ones, such as ordinary birds, small mammals, etc., al- 

 though adequate instructions are included for mounting 

 big game specimens, as well as the preliminary care of 

 skins in hot climates. Full diagrams accompany the 

 text. 



48. THE CANOE ITS SELECTION, 

 CARE AND USE, by Robert E. Pinkerton. Il- 

 lustrated with photographs. With proper use the canoe 

 is one of the safest crafts that floats. Mr. Pinkerton 

 tells how that state of safety may be obtained. He gives 

 full instructions for the selection of the right canoe for 

 each particular purpose or set of conditions. Then he 

 tells how it should be used in order to secure the maxi- 

 mum of safety, comfort and usefulness. His own lesson 

 was learned among the Indians of Canada, where pad- 

 dling is a high art, and the use of the canoe almost as 

 much a matter of course as the wearing of moccasins.
