TRICKS OF A TAXIDERMIS7
How Snow, Ice, Rain and Mist Are
Represented

1t is not until extraordinary settings
are to be presented-winter scenes,
rain scenes, or birGs in flight, for in
stance-that the artist displays his best
ingenuity and inventiveness. A group
of musk oxen, for example, require a
foot of snow. The beasts are shown,
males, females and their calves, knee
deep in snow, which is nothing cooler
than granulated paraffin. The ami
mails are startled and stop to gaze,
but, as seen by their tracks, they have
been roofing for the sparse grass
beneath the heavy fall, and their snouts
and faces show frozen snow dust-melt-
ed paraffin spattered with a stiff brush
If scene with Opaque ice is required,
paraffin in sheets strikingly lends itself
to the illustration. And as hoar frost
is made, so is snow dust initiated.
A rain scene is artistically initiated
by means of glycerine. Leaves of trees
and twigs and shrubs are coated with
this liquid, which, when thinly spatter-
ed over the fur of mounted animal
looks tAdtllS llhc iiiSN VI Noh7
densed fog. or like early morning dew
Birds in flight, like the larger ami
mails, are mounted after instantaneous
photographs. With wings and tail
feathers spread, and with legs lying
close, they appear to soar in a general
direction, no two birds, however, being
posed anywhere near alike, and even
the angle of flight varying with the
individual, as is made possible by their
suspension with invisible platinum
wires. Not only are such birds shown
darting skyward from thicket, but the
ascent takes place from this Matching
ground. The sand is thickly strewr
with various nests-actual nests, stolen
bodily-and here and there are broken
shells showing where broods have beer
hatched. Here the tiny birds, still de-
pendent upon their mothers, sit in
nests. bills open awaiting a welcome
contribution. Other young birds have
managed to quit the paternal home
and are striking out for themselves
among the shells on the sand.-Pear'

WALTERS FRIENDS DO NOT
ACCEPT SUICIDE THEORY
Mystery shrouds Disappearance Of
Chicago Attorney, Who Declared
He Would Drown Himself

The disappearance Of Attorney Grove
Walter, who formerly was an assistant
in the office of states Attorney Deneen
Of Chicago, is completely shrouded
In mystery. Since coming to the coast
he has occupied positions with the New
York Life Insurance company and also
with the Conservative Life. At the
time Of his disappearance he was the
head of the collection department Of a
morning newspaper.
on February Walter wrote to Frank
Pratt of the legal department of the
New York Life. who was an old friend,
that he had closed up his business af-
fairs with his employer and that he
intended to end all by committing sui
eide by drowning on that day, declaring
that he would go to Santa Monica and
jump off the pier. The letter was pa
thetlc and incoherent.
Since that day nothing has been seen
of Walter, despite the efforts of all his
friends and the Masonic lodges of
Southern California to find him.
The case was not reported to the
Los Angeles police until Saturday, as
It was desired to shield his family in
Hanover, Mich, from the news of his
contemplated suicide. Letters received
in Los Angeles by friends of Mrs.
Walter show that she has not heard
from her husband since December 5,
1904
Walter was known as a man Of un-
usually strong mind, was a magnetic
speaker and those who knew him best
refuse to accept the suicide theory.
Before he disappeared he forwarded
his accounts to his employers and they
say his books are absolutely square.

A Travellers
Experience

A party of gentlemen were gathered
in the lobby of leading hotel the
other evening, when an argument
arose as to what Red Raven really Is.
One gentleman, who was travelling for
a big house in Indianapolis, ventured
the assertion that Notwithstanding the
extensive advertising, out of five In.
the party not three could tell what
Red Raven is, and to what uses 1t Is
put. When the matter was put to a
test 1t was found that the indianapolis
man had lost, for not only did they
all know what Red Raven was, but
all used it regularly. AS one of the
men said:
"I have found. when travelling
from place to place, taking my meals
at different hours, sometimes on the
train and sometimes at the hotel, that
my system became deranged, result
ing in a sluggish liver, dizziness In
the morning, lassitude and loss of
appetite. l had seen the advertise
ments of Red Raven and CHANGED to
ask q druggist friend of mine what 1t
meant You can imagine my surprise
at finding Red Raven was the remedy
par excellence, for just such disor-
der as l was suffering from. l tried
bottle before breakfast the next
morning and found prompt relief. I
learned that they kept 1t not only at
drug stores, but at any cafe or hotel,
and since then in all my travels, when
suffering from headaches, indigestion
or nausea l have been promptly re-
lieved by Red Raven"

Not a Gentleman

The judge and counsel in a London
court argued the question whether a
schoolmaster could claim to be a gen
tleman.
The schoolmaster's solicitor raised
the question in applying for his clients
costs as a witness under the head of
gentleman" or professional man,
instead of on the lower scale of trades
man." as ordered by the court regis
trar The judge and counsel agreed
that Blackstone's definition of a gen
tleman as lone who bears arms" was
obsolete, and the counsel advocated
the definition of zone who, by eduoa-
tion, occupation or income holds po-
sltion above menial service or ordinary
trade" :
The judge suggested that a draper
making $4,000 a year might be a per-
feet gentleman In society, but would
not be a gentleman for the purpose OF
the county on a high court scale
though a man with an independent in
come of $3.50 would.
Counsel maintained that his client
though without a university degree
was a man Of educational attainments
or refinement, of artistic and literary
attachments, an accomplished musi'
clan, the proprietor of a large school
and, therefore, gentleman.
The judge, however, upheld the regis
trar, deciding the costs on the lower
scale, but comforting the schoolmastel
with the dictum that mo schoolmastel
must think he is insulted that ht
should be no gentleman. That, I'm fact
he would only be no gentleman In law,
