BOOK NOTICES. 



Dr. Gustav Jaeger, the well-known Ger- 

 man scientist, has written an excellent 

 book entitled " Problems of Nature." It 

 treats of the origin and development of an- 

 imal life; of the fundamental laws of the 

 development of the animal body; of the 

 origin of species; of the different kinds of 

 animal cells; of the animal soul; of human 

 vitality; of the source of the vital forces; 

 training and exercising; the doctrine of in- 

 fection; of constitutional strength; of the 

 treatment of infectious diseases, and of 

 many other subjects of deep interest to the 

 student of zoology and anthropology. 



A letter from Charles Darwin, to Dr. Jae- 

 ger, is printed on a fly leaf of this book, in 

 which Darwin says: " You have done great 

 service to the principle of evolution, which 

 we both support, by publishing this work." 



Dr. Jaeger is well known to the English 

 speaking world through his hygienic dis- 

 coveries and researches, and is best known 

 to the masses of Americans by his system 

 of sanitary clothing. His book is pub- 

 lished by Brentano's, Union Square, New 

 York, and sells at $1.50. 



" Haunts of the Wild Game " is the title 

 of Isaac McLellan's latest book of poems. 

 Every reader of sportsmen's literature 

 knows the power of this venerable poet to 

 portray the denizens, and to sound the mu- 

 sic of the woods; and in this volume, he 



lias fully sustained his world wide reptlta 

 tion. 



Among the titles of the poems in this 

 volume, arc " The Angler's Realm," " The 

 Bluefish," " Salmon Fishing in Labrador," 

 'The Trout Brook," "The Sportsman's 

 Greeting," ' The Antelope," " The Last 

 Buffalo," "The Great Gray Wolf," "The 

 Hunter's Camp," and " Forest Music." 



The book was published at $1.50, but ow- 

 ing to an unfortunate complication that 

 has arisen, between publisher and printer. 

 it is now being offered, by the latter, at 60 

 cents, post paid. This protects the author 

 in his royalty, gives the printer the mere 

 cost of printing and binding the book and 

 the book buyer a big bargain. At this 

 low price, thousands of copies should be 

 sold within the next 3 months. I hope 

 every reader of Recreation will respond to 

 this appeal, and help out the old bard of the 

 forest, beside securing a delightful volume 

 for the fire side and the library. 



Address orders to David H. Knott, 188 

 W. Houston St., New York. Mention 

 Recreation. 



There is a misunderstanding on the part 

 of the public, regarding Colonel Young's 

 order as to the carrying of arms in Yel- 

 lowstone park, by hunters who are going 

 into the territory South of the park, for big 

 game. The order simply provides that 

 hunting parties going through the park 

 shall carry sealed arms, and that such shall 

 provide themselves with a registered 

 guide. Any guide of good reputation, on 

 registering at Fort Yellowstone, Mam- 

 moth Hot Springs, will be authorized by 

 Colonel Young to conduct hunting parties 

 through the park, where their objective 

 point is the territory beyond. 



There are some 14 reliable guides who 

 have already registered and who are ready 

 to conduct hunting parties through the 

 park, to the hunting grounds referred to. 

 The order will, therefore, in no manner 

 interfere with hunting parties who may de- 

 sire to make this trip during the fall 

 months. In fact, Colonel Young says he 

 will furnish small escorts to accompany 

 each party to the South, East or West 

 boundary line, as desired. 



Every reader understands that Recrea- 

 tion's greatest revenue must come from 

 its advertisers. There are a number of gun 

 makers, powder makers, fishing tackle 

 makers and others, who advertise in sev- 

 eral other sportsmen's periodicals but dis- 

 criminate against Recreation, simply be- 

 cause it is aggressive; because it fights the 

 game hogs and the fish hogs, and thereby 

 reduces their trade. Friends of Recrea- 

 tion will serve their own best interests by 

 buying goods that are advertised herein.
