Stereoscopic Studies 



OP 



Natural History 



FOR OBJECT TEACHING IN SCHOOLS 



And 



PA.RLOR 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 

 specimens, and various animals and birds in grotesque 

 attitudes, never, however, violating their natural in- 

 stincts. . • • w « 



We offer these views, not as pictures only, but as 

 studies from nature. One of the great moving ele- 

 ments in onr modern sys*em of education ;s 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 lireside 

 of our homes, where they cannot fail to have a last 

 ing Impression of tue form, color, habits, andlocal- 

 ity'of each specimen. 



An experience of more than twenty -five years as 

 Taxidermist of the New York State Cabinet of Nat- 

 ural 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 rocks, woods, or water, and col- 

 oring from the originals.

PROTECT YOUR BUILDINGS. 



Which may be done with one-fourth the usual ex- 

 pense, bg using our 



Patent Slate Paint. 



(Fifteen Years Established.) 



MIXED REAJJY FOR USE. 

 Fire-proof, Water-proof, Durable, Eco- 

 nomical and Ornamental. 



A roof may be covered with a very cheap shingle, 

 and by application of this slate made to last, from 20 

 to25year8. Old roofs can be patched and coated, 

 looking much better, and lasting longer than new 

 shingles without the slate, for 



One-third the Cost of Re-shingling. 



The expense of slating new shingles is only about 

 thecostof simply laying them. The paint is fire- 

 proof against sparks or flying embers, as may be 

 easily tested by anyone. 



It Stops Every Leak, 



and for tin or iron has no equal, as it expands by 

 heat, contracts by cold, never cracks nor scales. 

 Roofs covered with Tar Sheathing Felt can be made 

 water-tight at a small expense, and preserved for 

 many years. 

 This Slate Paint is 



EXTREMELY OHEAP. 

 Two gallons will cover a hundred square feet of shin- 

 gle roof, while on tin, iron, felt, matched boards, or 

 any smooth surface, from two quarts to one gallon 

 are required to 100 square feet of surface, and al- 

 though tbe paint has a heavy body it is easily applied 

 with a brush. * 



No Tar is Used in this Composition 



therefore it neither cracks in winter, nor runs in 

 summer. 



On decayed shingles it fills up the holes and pores, 

 and gives a new substantial roof that will last for 

 years. Curled or warped shingles it brines to their 

 places, and keeps th«m there. It tills up all holes in 

 felt roofs, stops tne leaks, and although a slow dryer, 

 rain does not affect it in a few hours arter applying. 

 As nearly all paints that are black contain tar, be 

 sure you obtain our genuine article, which, for shm 

 gle roofs, is 



CHOCOLATE COLOR, 

 when first applied, changing in about a month to a 

 uniform slate color, and is, to all intents and purpo- 

 ses, slate On 



* TIN ROOFS 



our red color is usually preferred, as one coat is equal 

 to five of any ordinary paint. For 



BRICK WALLW 

 Our bright bed is the only reliable Slate Paint ever 

 introduced that will effectually prevent dampness 

 from penetrating and discoloring the plaster. 



These paiuts are also largely used on out-honses 

 and fences, or as a priming coat on tine buildings. 



Onr only colors are Chocolate, Red, Brisht Red 

 and Orange.
