A FAMOUS ROUTE. 



Excursionists attending the Biennial Ep- 

 worth League Convention at San Fran- 

 cisco, Cal., July 18-21, will naturally de- 

 sire to see the grandest and most im- 

 pressive scenery en route. This they will 

 do by selecting the Denver and Rio 

 Grande Railroad, 'The Scenic Line of the 

 World," which traverses the most pictur- 

 esque scenery to be found in the world. 

 This is the only road which offers 2 

 separate routes through the Rocky Moun- 

 tains, and tickets reading via this road 

 are available either via its main line 

 through the Royal Gorge, Leadville, over 

 Tennessee Pass, through the Canon of 

 the Grand River and Glenwood Springs ; 

 or via the line over Marshall Pass and 

 through the Black Canon of the Gunnison, 

 thus enabling the tourist to use one of the 

 above routes going and the other returning. 

 To get the full benefit of the trip you 

 should lay your plans in advance, and to 

 enable you to do so attractive illustrated 

 pamphlets will be furnished free on ap- 

 plication to S. K. Hooper, G. P. & T. A., 

 Denver, Colo. 



A NEW PHOTO PAPER. 



Phosphate of silver photo paper is a 

 patented invention of Dr. Johannes Meyer, 

 of Brooklyn. It has a great artistic value 

 possessed by no other similar article, and 

 has a great many other advantages. It is 

 not affected by any climatic influences and 

 retains its qualities a year or more. It 

 does not contain free silver, prints out 

 faster than its competitors, is easily 

 worked and allows the production of an 

 innumerable variety of colors. The prints 

 are absolutely permanent and will not 

 bleach in sunlight. Its sepia color is un- 

 surpassed, and it can be toned jet black 

 with little platinum. 



Phosphate of silver paper is manufac- 

 tured in different grades, smooth and 

 rough, but perfectly matt. A print can 

 be fixed or toned months after printing. 

 It will not curdle during the manipula- 

 tions, and can easily be straightened when 

 dry by pulling it hard over a straight edge. 



megaphones, bath tubs, developing trays 

 and other handy things from a material 

 which they call linenoid. 



It appears to be a heavy canvas filled 

 with pitch. It is thoroughly impervious 

 to water, or to the action of air. At the 

 same time it is light and strong. A boat 

 which will carry 4 people comfortably can 

 be picked up and carried easily by one 

 man, while it is so strong that it would 

 stand ordinary use in rivers almost as 

 well as a cedar boat would. 



Crane Bros, have published a leaflet 

 giving a full description of their linenoid, 

 and illustrations of the various articles 

 they make, which should be in the hands 

 of all sportsmen. If you write for it men- 

 tion Recreation. 



The Harrington & Richardson Arms 

 Co., Worcester, Mass., has issued a new

 come famous for its excellent material, 

 good workmanship and careful finish.

 pany are illustrated, both in black and 

 white and in a lot of colored cuts. All the 

 parts of these various arms are shown and 

 named. The book will prove valuable for 

 reference, and every sportsman should 

 have a copy of it. Please mention Recre- 

 ation when you write for it.
