NATURE NOTES 
(pugs) of the tigress’ cub, and bore no other animal’s marks 
Moreover, the manner in which a tiger begins to feed on a 
carcase, is by commencing at the bowels, as had been done in 
this case, and all this together was proof positive that the cub 
had been feeding off its mother. The skin would have been a 
beautiful one had it not been spoilt by the cub. This tigress’ 
head was such a picture that I sent it to England to be mounted, 
and I have it still. If my leave had not been over, I would have 
very likely been able to shoot the cub also, as it was prowling 
about, doubtless hoping for another feast.

In spite of a committee of twenty-one editors, our new contemporary makes a 
very creditable appearance and seems quite what the magazine of a pupil-teachers’ 
centre should be. We are glad to see that a Rambling Club has been started for 
the study of geography, but are at a loss to know why it should be confined to 
the junior probationers. No better beginning could have been made than the 
“Wealden Walk,” well described in this number by Emily Denn, as no route 
near London is more instructive than that from Caterham to Tilburstow. Some 
slight and natural mistakes occur, such as calling an observatory and a castellated 
summer-house a water-tower and a fort, and the threadbare mis-statement that 
the Pilgrims’ Way leads from Winchester to Canterbury ; but the important 
point that the learners should be taught to see for themselves has not been 
overlooked. 
My Dog Frizzle and Others. By Lady Alicia Blackwood. Operative Jewish 
Converts’ Institution. Price 4d. 
This is one of those excellently-intentioned stories for children that some 
children who are too young to be able to read them may appreciate. The 
authoress’ allusions to “our curate ” are charmingly naive. 
Nature- Kncnuledge : its Progress and Interpretation : Opinion and Experience 
from the Nature-Study Exhibition. By Wilfred Mark Webb. Reprinted 
from The Record of Technical and Secondary Education for October, 1902. 
Pending the appearance ofthe official report of the Nature-Study Exhibition, 
this is a most valuable, comprehensive and concise discussion of the results so far 
reached in the movement in favour of what some consider a new departure in 
education. It is brimful of suggestions for teachers, whilst the illustration of the 
Stepney Borough Museum exhibit of the oak is an object-lesson to museum- 
curators. We do not, however, sympathise with Mr. Webb’s endeavour to make 
“nature-lore” mean outdoor, and “nature-knowledge” indoor, work. 
Hillside , Rock and Dale. By Oliver G. Pike. Hutchinson and Co. Price 6s. 
This is essentially a sequel to Woodland, Field and Shore, and In Birdland 
with Field-glass and Camera. Mr. Pike has improved in technical skill and has 
certainly done much to justify his advocacy of the electric release in bird photo- 
graphy, though his explicit statements as to the makers and cost of the instruments 
he recommends, savour rather too strongly of advertisement for a work claiming a
