THE GUIDE TO NATURE— ADVERTISEMENTS 
Ward’s Natural Science Establishment. 
It is with much pleasure that we call 
the attention of our readers to a beau- 
tiful new catalogue issued by the 
AVard’s Natural Science Establish- 
ment, Rochester, New York. This 
large and long established institution 
has done a great amount of good work 
in assisting naturalists, sportsmen and 
museums in the preparation of speci- 
mens and in supplying all sorts and 
sizes of birds, mammals, shells, min- 
erals and indeed everything down to 
the mounted microscopical slide of the 
tiniest diatoms. At AA'ard’s one may 
get an elephant or a humming bird. 
The Establishment can furnish all the 
scenic material and specimens for an 
extended museum, or the amateur col- 
lector may find many novelties for his 
cabinet. Nothing apparently is too 
large and nothing too small for this 
well equipped institution. 
The new catalogue contains illustra- 
tions of beautiful specimens of the taxi- 
dermist’s art with a large list of taxi- 
dermist’s supplies. 
And now to see if with suffrage the 
quality of apple pie falls off. Let every 
woman up and at it.! — New Haven 
Journal-Courier. 
W ANTED — The names and addresses of those who 
possess telescopes and who wish to know how they 
can spend their spare time to advantage in tele- 
scopic work. There is valuable scientific work that can 
be done with small glasses. Work that does not involve 
mathematics, is of fascinating interest, decidedly worth 
while, and the details are easily mastered. The under- 
signed will gladlv furnish further information. Please 
communicate. William Tyler Olcott, Secretary, 62
