PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
The latest catalogue of the Lefever Arms Co., 23 
Maltbie street, Syracuse, N. Y., illustrates specially the 
improved engraving of the F grade, the new engraving 
of the G and H grades, which are greatly improved, 
and the H grade in fluid steel barrels, in 12, 16 and 20 
gauges, and the Durston special in 16-gauge, all of 
which are fully described, with other valuable matter. A 
copy of this catalogue will be mailed on request to the 
company. 
In preparing for your hunting trip, investigate the 
merits of the Cammeyer Non-Aqua hunting boot, which 
costs no more than other footwear intended for woods 
wear, but is guaranteed. Write or call on Alfred J. 
Cammeyer, Sixth avenue and Twentieth street, New 
York city. 
Evans’ ale for the camp and cottage is insurance of a 
satisfactory kind. It is a delicious refreshment for the 
tired hunter, and a time-honored October beverage. 
TESTING WOOD WITH THE MICRO¬ 
SCOPE. 
A new line of work, consisting of the micro¬ 
scopic examination of wood after it breaks in a 
testing apparatus, has just been started by the 
office of wood utilization in the United States 
Forest Service. 
The structure of wood is complex. Every 
species has several different kinds of cells, each 
of which has its own size and form. There is 
also a wide variation in the number and 
arrangement of the cells in different species. 
These differences in structure have their bearing 
on the strength of the wood. 
For some time past the Forest Service has 
been carrying on a large number of tests on 
many kinds of wood in order to determine 
their strength, stiffness, elasticity, and other 
physical properties, so that they may be used 
to the best possible advantage in construction. 
The application of microscopic work to such 
tests should give a better knowledge of the 
conditions on which the strength of wood de¬ 
pends. 
Laymen will not understand the significance 
of the proposed microscopic investigations so 
quickly as architects, builders and other wood 
users, who in these days of growing scarcity of 
the more valuable woods will find the knowledge 
! invaluable. 
Other problems connected with the structure 
of wood, such as the preparation of wood pulp 
and the treatment of wood with preservatives, 
will no doubt be aided by this new study. 
HUNTING IN EUROPE. 
Justice Efenry A. Gildersleeve, of the Su¬ 
preme Court, with Mrs. Gildersleeve, returned 
from Europe to-day by the steamship Oceanic 
of the White Star line. They have been away 
since July g. Justice Gildersleeve had some very 
fine shooting in Austria and Scotland during 
his stay abroad. On Aug. i he was at Brouck, 
an old town near the Hungarian border, for the 
first day of partridge shooting. On that day 
three gunners killed 87 birds and the next day 
got 100. Justice Gildersleeve killed 60 of this 
latter bag. 
Later the narty, which was at the shooting 
box of Dr Thomas, an Austrian Government 
officer, went deer stalking, and Justice 
Gildersleeve shot a roebuck. In Scotland, where 
Jusfiee Gildersleeve stayed at Milldown Lodge 
in Forfarshire, now occupied by J. L. Cad- 
walader. the lawyer, there was more good 
shooting. On the best day here a party of six 
got 1.000 grouse, the birds being driven to the 
guns. Justice Gildersleeve said proudly to-day 
that he got his share of this number He 
brought b”>ek some stuffed specimens of Scotch 
grouse.—The Times. 
“ FUNDAMENTALS ” 
E VFRY time you depart from true fundamental principles you lose—lose the time and tem¬ 
per, suffer the wear and tear of working your way back to base. Every perfection in me¬ 
chanics is the result of applying a “fundamental.” But the man who applies it first gets a 
patent. The other fellows have to rig up a “contrivance.” 
The best evidence of “fundamentals” is simplicity. The Lefever Shot Gun 
has from 15 to 25 fewer parts than any other shot gun. Only three pieces for 
firing, extracting and cocking. The Lefever is the climax of shot gun simplic¬ 
ity—free from old-time mechanisms, complicated with “improvements.” 
Lefever Shot Gun 
Our catalogue will tell you of barrel rigidity and take-up unequalled in 
any other gun. It tells about steel in these guns which is an honor 
to the names of Europe’s great steel makers—not a discredit. 
It also tells about taper boring and other things you must 
know if you are to invest your money right. It is a 
catalogue worth sending for.

The Man Who Shoots 
wants a gun he can rely upon at all times. No one 
wants to take a gunsmith's repair kit with him into 
the field or to the traps. Men who “know guns” 
shoot a PARKER. It can always be relied upon.
