'TWIXT YOU AND ME 



|UST about the sweetest little 

 shotgun you can get for Her, 

 without having to pay a fabu- 

 lous price, is the new 28 -gauge 

 single-barrel H. & R., made 

 by the Harrington & Richard- 

 son Arms Company, Worcester, 

 Mass. Address Dept. R, and 

 ask for catalogue. This is not 

 a small bore gun on a large frame — it is a dainty 

 little sporting arm for dainty shooters; weighs 

 only four pounds. 



Tennis season's about due. How about that 

 warped racket? Spaldings will straighten it up 

 and refill it for you. And remember, the Spalding 

 Championship 1906 tennis balls are declared 

 absolutely the best in every particular of manu- 

 facture. Get a catalogue from A. G. Spalding & 

 Bros., 126 Nassau Street, New York City. 



The accompanying cut shows the new Auto 

 Grafiex camera, a camera which, we may add, 

 is just about the best sort of box the "camera 

 hunter" can get. Its special advantages over 

 other cameras is that the user, right up to the very 

 instant of making the exposure, can see the image 



full size and right side up. This is accomplished 

 by means of an optical mirror placed within the 

 camera at an angle of 45 degrees, reflecting the 

 image from the lens upon a ground glass placed 

 at the top of the camera. And this advantage is 

 supplemented by an additional mirror placed in 

 the top of the focusing hood, enabling the user 

 to hold the camera on a level with the eyes, a 

 distinct advantage when it is necessary to keep an 



eye on your bear, lest he come too close for com- 

 fort. Get a catalogue and post up on this new 

 camera for sportsmen. "You can aim it like a 

 gun." A card to the Folmer & Sch wing Company, 

 Rochester, N. Y., will do the trick. 



The safety pocket axe has been called perfection 

 by the thousands who have used it; but Mr. 

 Marble has recently invented and attached to it 

 a folding nail claw which has doubled its value 

 and adds only 25 cents to the cost. A ten-penny 



nail can be drawn with ease from a seasoned 

 hemlock plank with it. You can get at and pull 

 a nail with the axe and claw that you could not 

 remove with a hammer alone. 



Until 1907 the claw will be furnished only on 

 the No. 2, 20-ounce, 1 1 -inch, steel and hard 

 rubber handle pocket axe. Send to the Marble 

 Safety Axe Company, Gladstone, Michigan, for 

 their new 56-page, 1906, catalogue "A," in which 

 twelve new inventions by Mr. Marble are de- 

 scribed. 



The Toquet Motor Company, 1 Madison 

 Avenue, is turning out marine engines of much 

 the general appearance of last year's product 

 although the weight is somewhat less. They are 

 very carefully tested and each one is connected 

 to a dynamo and made to keep a bank of incan- 

 descent lamps lit for a number of hours. The 

 water jacket is put under 200 pounds water pres- 

 sure, which very quickly indicates any flaws. 

 The two cylinders are cast in one piece, but only 

 the ends of the water jacket are cast with the 

 cylinders. The sides of the water jacket are formed 

 by large cast iron plates bolted on each side of 

 the cylinder casting. This arrangement makes it 

 very convenient to get at the inside of the water 

 jacket to free it from mud and remove any scale 

 that may collect on the outside of the cylinders. 

 A very complete and interesting catalog giving 

 full dimensions of these motors has been recently 

 gotten out and will be gladly mailed free of charge 

 if mention is made of this magazine. 



Sportsmen have been a little slow in appreciat- 

 ing the advantages of the modern prismatic 

 binocular which, in comparison with the ordinary 

 field glass, is something like the rifle of to-day 

 and the muzzle loader of the past, as regards 

 efficiency and power. The hunter carrying 

 a prismatic binocular can examine the game 

 before it comes within shooting distance. There
