Birds and All Nature for 1899 
We are glad to be able to announce to our readers an interesting outline 
for 1899. Having increased the scope of our magazine, we have entered into 
a field as broad as Nature herself, and with our process of color printing there is 
little in the created realm which we cannot successfully present in our pages. 
From the abundance of material at hand we have selected a program, in- 
cluding several distinct branches. 
first—BIRDS. We shall continue a series of articles on Birds, prepared 
for us by Prof. Lynps Jones of Oberlin University. To the ornithological 
world Mr. Jones needs no introduction. We congratulate our subscribers upon 
this rare opportunity of being able to study with this eminent scientist. 
Second—ANIMALS. A series upon the representative Animals, for the 
most part American. ‘Those who have seen our illustrations of the Black 
Wolf, the Red and Gray Foxes, Raccoon, Peccary, Pigmy Antelope, and others 
will be easily convinced that this series will be intensely interesting. 
Third—USEFUL PLANTS. By Prof. Arpert ScHNEIDER of the North- 
_ western University, School of Pharmacy. To those who are not acquainted 
with Mr. Schneider or his writings, it is enough to say that he is connected 
with one of the largest denominational schools in the world and the largest 
university in the West. 
-fourth—FAMILIAR FLOWERS. Beautifully depicted in colors, with 
carefully edited articles. 
Fifih—NUTS AND FRUITS. A series of illustrations with appropriate ¢ 
context, under our own editorship. . 
Stxth—USEFUL MINERALS, Giving exact formation and colors, with 
explicit articles showing how refined and used.

Beside the Outline we have presented above, we have secured a number of 
articles from some of the most prominent writers on Popular Science and 
Nature Study in the country. Among them are: 
Olive Thorne Miller, who needs no introduction to bird lovers. 
James Newton Baskett, an author of wide repute. 
Dr. Wilbur S. Jackman, Chair of Science, Chicago Normal School. 
Emily C. Thompson, whose interesting lines have already graced our 
columns. 
Prof. Aima B, Morton, a writer of prominence. 
William E. Watt, an educator, and editor of Watt’s Extra T. vacher, whose 
articles have appeared in many prominent school journals, and whose “ Evzs,” 
**Hars,” ‘* Nosss,” ‘‘ Voices,” etc., in BIRDS AND ALL NATURE have at- 
tracted much attention and favorable comment. 
Also articles by Eleanor Kingsley Marble and by C. C. Marble, upon 
whom comment is not necessary to those who have read our journal for the last 
two years. Other prominent writers will be engaged from time to time. 
We need make no statement about our illustrations, eight each month. 
Everyone concedes them to be the dest the world has ever seen, and there is no 
other magazine on the market which attempts such an elaborate and expensive 
rocess. 
f Coupled with this our fine assemblage of writers we have a magazine 
with no equal, a journal of high merit which should be in every home and 
school in the country.
