Game is on the wing! The first keen 
wind of autumn whistles a tune to the 
tramp, tramp, tramp of a care-free, can¬ 
vas-clad army taking the field—the Le- 
fever Shot Gun boys. 
Lefever Shot Guns 
THE GUNS OF LASTING FAME 
The Lefever has been the pioneer in every sound 
improvement in double barrel shot guns for nearly 
half a century. In compensating features, in dur¬ 
ability, style, finish, balance and simplicity, or in 
general all-round shooting qualities it has no equal. 
Any man who owns a Lefever will be proud to 
show it to you and explain its advantages. Send us 
a postal for the beautiful new Lefever Gun Book, 
which tells all about gun making—something you 
ought to understand before you buy a gun.

The “Forest and Stream” Trap Score Book 
Meets the needs of gun clubs and shooters in every particular. The ifia 
sheets are heavily ruled—an advantage all scorers will appreciate, particu¬ 
larly when working in a dim light. The horizontal spaces are numbered 
from 1 to 30. Broad perpendicular lines divide these into groups of five, 
which aids the eye of the scorer greatly. Similar heavy lines divide the 
perpendicular spaces into groups of six; thus the squads are distinguish¬ 
able at a glance. 
The paper manifolds easily, and carbon sheets are placed in the book 
for that purpose. 
It contains the American Shooting Association Rules for Live-Bird 
Shooting, for Double Live-Bird Shooting, for Inanimate Target Shooting; 
Hurlingham Revised Live-Bird Rules for single and double rises, and the 
Rose System of dividing purses. Price, $1.00.

juarry through the shaft, but as no lights are 
supplied far that purpose we have to use the 
tairway, where our quarryman guide hands

lolder the shape and size of a pingpong bat. 
Down the steep stairway one is soon in the 
egion of cold noses and icy finger-tips till it is 
lifficult to realize the scorching August sun 
bove. There is a fascination yet almost a fear 
ti the darkness and depth of these caverns as 
/e wander through the lava-bed hearing the 
zhile the rumble and bump of the trolleys, 
jome of the passages are impassable, owing to 
he columns of ice which reach from floor to 
eiling. The extent of the quarries now in 
working is over three miles, but doubtless be- 
ond the ice-columns are further passages and 
averns, for the quarries were commenced by 
le Romans, and have been continuously worked 
ince. 
To leave Niedermendig is no easy matter; 
here is a fascination in the hideous, a 
'ild desire for research, for further knowl- 
dge, for even stronger signs of the terrific up- 
eaval. Time is, however, limited, and the Vol- 
ano of Laach must be reached. 
A “thick” hour, to use the German expres- 
on, along a dusty, shadowless path up the side 
f the volcano brings one to the outer ridge, a 
effect treasure-ground to the geologist with its 
arieties of crystalline rock, pumice-stone, lava, 
torise, and so forth. But we pass this when 
e get a view of the actual crater. No smoke 
arkens the sky, no lurid glare adds to the 
•miner heat. Below us in the crater lies a lake, 
aund as a ring, blue as sapphire, deeper and 
•ore brilliant than any sky, embowered in a

NAPOLEON A. COMEAU 
In “Life and Sport on the North Shore of the Lower St. Lawrence 
and Gulf,” Mr. Comeau has made a valuable addition to the literature of 
rod and rifle—and more. It is a book of engrossing personal interest to the 
sportsman or general reader, and of rare value to the student of wild life. 
The author describes the events and experiences of 50 years spent in 
the cause of humanity and science in one of the most interesting and least 
known sections of Canada. He writes as one sportsman to his fellows, 
detailing his experiences with the wild things of wood, shore and sea, with 
plenty of stirring experiences with big game and gamy fish.
