THE GLIDE TO NATURE— ADVERTISEMENTS 
XIII 
Bonnie Prince Fetlar. By Marshall Saun- 
ders. New York City: George H. Doran 
Company. 
The publishers state that the author is in 
the million class, that they sold more than 
a million copies of her first animal story, 
“Beautiful Joe.” This “Bonnie Prince Fet- 
lar,” a Shetland pony, like the famous 
“Black Beauty” and the likewise famous 
“Beautiful Joe,” is a humanized story that 
will appeal strongly to those who like that 
kind of thing. There are vivacity and charm, 
sympathy of understanding animal life, that 
endear her to animal lovers as well as in- 
terest the story reader. The book is spe- 
cially designed for the work of Humane 
Societies who, judging from the popularity 
of that kind of literature, evidently regard 
it, as many other persons do, as more valu- 
able than definite and unimaginative study 
of the animal’s habits and needs. 
Talks to Writers. By Lafcadio Hearn. 
Edited by John Erskine, Ph. D., of 
Columbia University. New York: Dodd, 
Mead & Company. 
We are glad to add this volume to others 
that we have by Lafcadio Hearn because of 
our natural interest in Japan stimulated by 
the ArcAdiA development known as Little 
Japan. It is an acceptable addition to our 
library and an aid in our efforts to depict 
nature with simplicity and clearness. That 
was also Hearn’s mission in his literary lec- 
tures. Although these were delivered in a 
Japanese university there is a charm of sim- 
plicity as he talked to those Japanese stu- 
dents that might well be imitated in a na- 
ture lesson to children or even to adults. 
The talks will assist naturalists who wish 
to put their observations into good literary 
form. Hearn’s ideas were not only those of 
a literary theorist but of one who could suc- 
cessfully practise the art. He knows his 
subject and he skillfully and simply delin- 
eates it. In other words, he ideally exem- 
plifies our slogan, “See, Think and Tell.”

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

PHOTOGRAPHIC LENSES 
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 lib 
f:6.3). And in bright sunlight they stop 
the fastest action blurlessly. 
Ask your dealer to put Tessar 
Anastigmat on your camera. 
Then you will see how pleasur- 
able photography can be.
