The glass-case in which they will be
placed will be of the same size as that
inclosing the buffalo groun-l2 by Is:
In the foreground the big cow will
stand, reaching up and grasping at a
twig with its tongue and lip. BY it
will stand the calf, and the yeailing
moose will be standing by with its
head down and tongue protruding,
licking the calls forehead. The other
moose will be feeding near by. The
bull moose, still to be mounted in the
workshop, will be postured in what is
perhaps the most characteristic atti-
tudc. The moose, when it cannot con-
veniently feed upon the leaves of a
sapling by reaching upward, will throw
its weight against the stem of the
sapling, bend it down, and walk astride
of it. 1t will then feed at ease upon
the succulent twiss and leaves. This
performance is called in moose hunters
parlance riding down" tree, and the
moose yet to be rchnbilitatcd will lie
represented in the act of feeding on o
sapling which it has ridden down.

scenery, spot III the prairie where
there is pool of water and group of
buffalo mounted by the taxidermist In
most life like attitudes gathered about
the pool. The animals were secured
by Mr.. Hornaday in his famous hunt
" for the last of the buffalo" The
scenic access cries down to the last
little tuft of prairie grass were ar
ranged by Mr. Hornaday, and the buff
falo were mounted by him, all In faith
full conformity with nature, which he
had ample opportunity for studying.
Soon there will be placed near this
buffalo group another of equal size
and Importance. 1t will tell as well
as one such collection can the life his
tory of the moose. The moose group
will be made up in part of trophies of
Col Cecil Clay's. The scene to be rep
resented has been all planned and
sketched in black and white by Mr..
Hornaday. Joseph Palmer, the tax
idermist, is mounting the moose in the
various attitudes they will assume in
the complete group. Col. Clay, who
has taken much interest in the work
and has given personal direction tc
many of the details, has gone on trip
to Canadian wilds, partly for the pur-
pose of securing right from the spot
where the moose were shot the trees,
shrubbery, stumps, and grass required

to make the scene truthful repre-
senta,ion of what stealthy hunter
who could get near enough to such a
group of moose might actually have
seen.
The larger of the rooms occupied by
the taxidermist is now devoted almost
entirely to the moose. In fact, there
i room on the floor for little else, but
the shelves are covered with casts,
drawings, skies, antlers, and the many
materials used by the tnxidermist On
one shelf is cast made from the head
of big moose, showing the great de-
velopment of the flexible nose-a pro-
vision of nature which enables the ami
NAL to pillow beneath the surface of the
crusted snow in winter in search of the
foliage of bushes upon which it feeds
at that season, and also aids as q horn
to give volume and effect to its pecul-
lar and prolonged below when calling
to its mate.
On low platforms on the floor stand
the moose already mounted or in pro-
cess of mounting. The largest of the
group is COW, and the taxidermist
has about completed work upon this
animal. This is the huge creature
from the province of Ontario shot for
the museum by Col Clay and which
measured feet inches in height at
the withers. II is as large as q big
horse and weighed 1,500 pounds. 1t
is Ienre entcd with legs somewhat
spread and its short neck and long
head stretched at an angle upward,
as if reaching out to seize with its
tongue and overhanging upper lip 8
leaf or twig from the branch of tree.
The shortness Of the neck, the size of
the head, and length of the awkward
looking limbs give the creature some
what ungainly aspect, but the taxider-
mist has stuck to the lines laid down
by natures handiwork. The neck is
so short that it is with difficulty the

the boys collected from the woods. The
fault of this was that it could only be
used in the bow of the boat, and so as to
cast the rongest light in an awkward
place The dense smoke also camo
straight back over the boat, much to the
discontinue of the sportsmen. Then the
lamp with reflector was tried. This was
dark at the back and was fixed on pivot
allowing to be thrown from side to side,
but even with this the strongest light fell
too far ahead, so the upright and arm
came in use, and is more generally used
than any other.
The duties of the man with the pole
are not easy, and but few people can pole
q boat to suit an old spearer. He must
not strike the bottom hard with his pole,
for sound is much increased under water,
and the mere conclusion of the pole on a
rock bottom will scare fish twenty yards
away. Then he must pole the boat Just
so, neither too fast nor too slow, and in
direction to keep the smoke from crossing
the boat. When a fish is struck the boat
must be staid and held still, or a sudden
lifting of the spear will enable the fish to
get away. In using the spear consider
able skill is required, as will soon be found
out by the repeated misses scored at first
trying.
One must allt W for ,fraction in max
ing a strike. A perfectly straight stick
held upright in u depth of three feet of
water will appear to be bent at an angle
of 20 degrees, and this angle will decrease
when the water becomes shallow, and in
crease as it deepens. Consequently the first
thing to learn is to judge the depth at which
the fish lies; at the depth of three feet
strike fully foot behind him if he is COM
ing toward you and trifie more if going
from you. The best way is to try first at
fish going against the stream, as in strik-
ing with the current tie slightest thing
varies the accuracy and nothing mere so
