HURST'S 



Stereoscopic Studies 



-OF- 



Natural History 



For Objeet Teaching in Schools 



PARLOR ENTERTAINMENT. 



We are prepared to furnish the first sixty numbers 

 of the first series of 



Animals and Birds of North America. 



To these will be added a second series of foreign speci- 

 mens, and various Animals and Birds in grotesque at- 

 titudes, never however violating their natural instincts. 



We offer these views not as pictures only, but as 

 studies from nature. One of the great moving ele- 

 ments in our modern system of education is object 

 teaching. The unerring fidelity of the stereoscope 

 transfers the animals and birds from their natural 

 habitat to the rooms of the student and the fireside of 

 our homes, where they cannot fail to leave a lasting 

 impression of the form, color, habits, and locality of 

 each specimen. 



An experience of more than twenty-five years as 

 Taxidermist of the New York State Cabinet of Natu- 

 ral History, and in gathering his large collection of 

 native and foreign specimens, enables Mr. Hurst to 

 combine in every view the locality of the specimen 

 with its appropriate iocks, woods or water, and color- 

 ing from the originals.

BLASTING POWDERS, &e., 



NEPONSET, MASS. 



I have succeeded in overcoming all objections that 

 may have been raised to the kind of Sporting Powder 

 previously manufactured by me. By an entiiely new 

 nrocess and with the assistance of new machinery, I 

 am now able to make the grains as hard as those of 

 Black Powder, thus avoiding the great compressibil- 

 ity of the kind first introduced, and allowing an even 

 loading every time. In addition to the greater density 

 of the new powder, I have also obviated the great ra- 

 Diditv of ignition. There is now no fear of overload- 

 ing No necessity for any special directions for use, 

 simply use it like Black Powder, and use the same 



^Tnf IXdef can now be used from an ordinary 

 powde/ftask. The same kind of powder can be used 

 for both Shot Guns and Rifles. The sizes and num- 

 bers for the gram are the same as those for black pow- 

 der The Medium size is best adapted for general 

 purposes, the largest size for small bores, and the fi- 

 nest size for large bores. >.„„„,„ 



Every package of the new powder bears my signa- 

 ture. None geuuine without it. % 



I manufacture none of the old kind, and all con- 

 nection with my former agency, the so-called Dittmar 

 Powder Co. is at an end. Please address all orders 

 tome. Any letters unanswered or orders not filled 

 since September 1st will be immediately attended to 

 if parties will please re- write to me. I will exchange, 

 when requested, any of my powder bought before that 

 data for the new kind. 



My best thanks to the friends of my New Powder, 

 who have by their kind suggestions helped me to make 

 it perfect, s@ that I now have no doubt of its complete 

 guccefjis* CARL DITTMAR.
