Tlic Young Ornithologist.

In tilt' si)ring, as soon as the ice is 

 out, picl^erel can bes])eared. The l)est 

 way is by the use of a torch at night, as 

 the light penetrates through the water 

 and shows the fish very plainly. A 

 great many are also shot at this time of 

 year, as they are fond of lying in the 

 shallow portions of the stream to bask 

 in the sun. Get as near as possible 

 without frightening them, and then aim 

 low (a little under the fish) to allow for 

 refraction. Immediately after you fire, 

 the pickeral will rise to the surface stun- 

 ned or dead. The yoxuig sportsman 

 should never put the muzzle of his gun 

 under the water, as it will burst it. 



Mr. Kraus's "Biography of Darwin" 

 contaijis a number of that naturalist's 

 letters. 



For y?'i.oo we will send the Young 

 Oologist one year, a copy of both 

 Camping Out and Lynx Hunting, a 

 nickel-plated blowpipe and a fine steel 

 egg drill. The entire lot would cost 

 .^''1.50 if purchased sepaiately. 



A naturalist without a natural history 

 is like a ship at sea without a rudder, 

 and that you may not be cast on danger- 

 ous rocks, we present you with this 

 number a list of "rudders" that will 

 steer you clear. Peruse this list before 

 l)urchasing elsewhere.
