THE GL IDE TO NATURE— ADVERTISEMENTS 
XIII 
LITERARY. 
Thk Wit of the Wild. By Ernest Ingersoll. 
New York City: Dodd, Mead & Com- 
pany. 
The title is catchy and the contents are 
interesting. The hook is written along the 
line of the modern tendency to assign a 
good deal of, well, shall we call it intelli- 
gence, or merely an emphasized instinct, or 
a desire to see ourselves in the world of na- 
ture around us? Mr. Ingersoll, a well- 
known and skilled naturalist, has provided 
interesting chapters about strange things 
that birds and four-footed animals do. We 
wish that Mr. Ingersoll had written a 
preface not merely to give acknowledgment 
to the publications in which the articles first 
appeared, but to present his own philosophy 
of the matter. But perhaps after all it is 
better to state the actual facts, the result of 
observations, and leave the philosophy to 
the reader. 
Daisy Ashford: Her Book. With a Preface 
by' Irvin S. Cobb. New York City: 
George H. Doran Company. 
Daisy Ashford’s youthful production, “The 
Young Visiters,” has appealed to a wide 
range of interests and brought forth a 
great amount of unnecessary and yet good 
advertising discussion as to authorship. Any 
one who has had extended experience with 
girls will at once pronounce “The Young 
Visiters” as a genuine production of the 
youthful mind with possibly some editorial 
suggestions or slight changes by an adult, 
perhaps Barrie or the copy editor of a pub- 
lishing house. But the reviewer believes 
that Daisy Ashford is real, and rejoices in 
that fact, although she may have aroused 
some skeptics that have helped advertise 
the joy that she has brought to hundreds of 
thousands of readers by the literary work 
she did when she was only seven years old. 
In this new book she has produced some 
even more startling revelations of the girl 
mind and we heartily recommend it to our 
readers not only as good stories but from 
the pedagogical point of view as good ma- 
terial for studying the mental machinery 
and productions of a young girl.

What will the 
negative show? 
There’s density and definition; detail in 
high lights and shadows; correctness of 
perspective; color value — consider all 
these. For the negative can show only 
what the lens throws upon it. And any 
picture worth taking at all is worth tak- 
ing as well as it can be taken. In other 
words, take it with one of the

In poor light — cloudy or rainy outdoors, 
on porches or indoors — good snapshots 
— better than many a time exposure — can 
be made easily through Bausch & Lomb 
Tessar Anastigmats (Ic, f:4.5 or 1 1 b 
f:6.3). And in bright sunlight they stop 
the fastest action blurlessly. 
Ask your dealer to put Tessar 
Anasitigmat on your camera. 
Then you will see how pleasur- 
able photography can be.
