Snapshots of the Wild. By F. St. Mars. 



J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia. 



By the author of "Pinion and Paw," "On 

 Nature's Trail," "The Prowlers," etc., this 

 book of first class animal stories will in- 

 terest the reader from start to finish. Their 

 arrangement in groups under the names of 

 the months is unique, and is a splendid 

 idea, and a good educational feature as 

 well. 



thoroughly exploited. Among the hundred 

 or more fruits discussed are the follow- 

 ing: The avocado, which seems destined 

 to rank with the olive because of its high 

 oil content; the cherimoya and the sapodil- 

 la, neglected and delicious fruits for table 

 use; the guava, the mango, the Chinese 

 litchi, the breadfruit, the loquat, the papaya 

 and the jujube. 



portant, because it must conform to the 

 limitations of the various processes through 

 which it passes after it leaves the artist's 

 hands. Thus to the great majority of 

 artists who earn their living, not by paint- 

 ing pictures, but through some connection 

 with the graphic arts, reproductive tech- 

 nique is an imperative necessity and this 

 outline of its basic requirements will be of 

 invaluable practical assistance.

millan Company, New York. Price, $5.00. 



The unexploited fruit possibilities of the 



warm regions of the world are attracting

Technique of Practical Drawing. By Ed- 

 ward S. Pilsworth. The Macmillan 

 Company; New York. 

 This is a splendid book for teachers, stu- 

 dents and professional artists, to whom 

 technique is a subject of especial impor- 

 tance. The artist who works for repro- 

 duction needs the benefit of full knowledge 

 of technique, while with the painter whose 

 picture is itself the final result, the ques- 

 tion of technique is of moment only, as it 

 enables him better to visualize his inspira- 

 tion and obtain the effect of light and 

 shade or form that he desires. With the 

 artist who is drawing for the average com- 

 mercial purpose or use, the picture is only 

 the beginning of a series of manipulations 

 and the question of technique is all im- 



Camp Lore and Wood Craft, by Dan 

 Beard. J. B. Lippincott Company, Phila- 

 delphia. Price $3.00. 

 This is another of the Woodcraft Series 

 by the Big Scout who has done so much 

 personally and individually to make famili- 

 ar to American boys the ways of life in 

 the out-of-doors. Profusely illustrated 

 with sketches by the author, the many 

 lessons on how to do things right when 

 in the woods are clearly and interestingly 

 given. The book will delight the heart of 

 every lover* of the out-of-doors young or 

 old and will be eagerly seized upon by 

 every American boy who wants to learn 

 to do things as only that master of wood- 

 craft Dan Beard can teach him to do 

 them.
