Don't Read This 



You Might Learn a Good Thing, 



To First Class Taxidermists I have nothing to say for they have 

 learned their trade by years of hard work. But to the Sportsmen, 

 Business Men, Collectors, Amateur Taxidermists, Boys and Girls and 

 Mothers who wish to decorate their houses, or the Dens and Offices of 

 their Husbands and Sons proper advice may not come amiss. 



Don't invest $5.00 to $50.00 in instructions and tools on taxider- 

 my and then fail. Don't attempt anything you can't succeed in. 



Do This: 



Send for Gibb's Celebrated Process of Embalming and Artistic 

 Mounting and Save Money, Save Time, Save Bother. 



This Process requires no tools beyond a knife and file and anyone 

 can learn it in one attempt. 



Complete Instructions and one pound of Compound ready for use, 

 enough for 30 to 50 small birds, 75c. 



If more information is required enclose a stamp and mention the 

 Natural Science News.

CRYSTALS. 



If your cabinet is not represented by a suit 

 of those superbly crystalized North Carolina 

 Quartzes, it is lacking in one of its most beau- 

 tiful and attractive features. 



Quartzes in Crystals, with the following 

 inclusions: Large, movable water drops, as 

 large as peas: Kaolin; Clay, different colors; 

 Wad; Chlorite; Micas; &c. 



Rutilated Quartz in all varieties, clear 

 and amethyst. This is a true gem stone, odd 

 and beautiful. 



Zircons in large, modified and small bril- 

 liant Crystals. 



Occasionally, the following can be sent out 

 in extra specimens: Beryls, Columbite, 

 in piled groups of crystals: Gem Amethyst; 

 Rutile, blood-red. single Crystals; Hidden- 

 ite, the best to be had but none very large: 

 Kyanite, sky-blue Crystals; Octahedrite; 

 Chlorite Crystals; Samarskite; Gum- 

 mite; Tourmalines, fine black with ter- 

 minations, also in groups of doubly terminat- 

 ed Crystals, rare; Garnets. Crystals and fine 

 pieces for cutting, peculiar tint; Monazite, 

 and others. 



I wish to call attention to some magnificent 

 Crystals and groups of Quartzes, suitable for 

 Museums and College collections, one group 

 on hand weighing 4U pounds. 



Write for estimates on what you wish or 

 collections showing the entire Quartz range of 

 the State. 



Collections of any size sent on approval.
