THE GUIDE TO NATURE— ADVERTISEMENTS 
a book about bees, to find that under the 
sugar coating of a peep into the wonders 
of Nature is a pill designed to remedy the 
evils of Society. These are all legitimate 
works, very good and useful to those who 
need them. but. if one may judge from the 
interest shown by one’s friends and neigh- 
bours when the subject of bees is introduced, 
a plain account of the life and death of the 
busy occupants of the darksome hive would 
be more readily welcome.” 
The Forest Service. United State' 
Department of Agriculture, reports 
that no less than thirty-three states 
have now provided for some sort of 
forestry activities and twenty-five of 
these share in the federal cooperative 
forest protection fund, allotted to states 
maintaining an effective fire detection 
and suppression system. — Science.

“Our Alumni and teachers realize 
how fortunate they were in being able 
to hear such an unique and inspiring 
talk as Dr. Edward F. Bigelow gave 
us at our annual Alumni Meeting. We 
sincerely hope to have the pleasure of 
hearing Dr. Bigelow again in the near 
future.”

Sound Beach. Connecticut. 
My dear Dr. Bigelow : 
In your visits of the last three years 
to Briarcliff I feel that you have done 
much through your excursions with the 
girls, your walks and your lectures 
with the lantern slides to develop in 
them a love of nature and the wonders 
of outdoor life, but your lecture last 
week with the microscope projections 
quite transcended anything which you 
have done for us Heretofore. In fact it 
seems to me one of the most important 
scientific achievements that has come 
under my notice. 
If vou can reveal the secrets of the 
microscope to large audiences of voting 
people as you did for us you will cer- 
tainly be making a great contribution 
to scientific teaching. I wish you all 
success in developing your work along 
this line ! 
Yours very sincerely.
