hunter soon finds he still has q lot to
learn about photography. The first
season is invariably one Of high ambi-
tons. hard work, patfence-trying, fail
ure. Generally this comes from going
it blind, with inadequate Photographic
knowledge and equipment. But the
camera hunter is dead game. and his
enthusiasm knows no bounds; say
this knowing not few who have had
no success worth mentioning. but who
know will make good eventually, just
because they are literally wrapped up
in the sport. Whoever seeks to pho
tograDh the wild animals of the wild
erness country must make up his mind
at the outset to avoid the places which
would please him the most. He cannot
remain on picturesque lakes or streams
which tempt him to pitch his tent and
enjoy the scenery or the fishing, but
steadfastly he must push forward I'M
til he finds himself away from the
beaten track, in the regions more en-
joyed by the animals than by their ur-
welcome guests.

How to Hunt With a camera.

In an article on "Photographing Big
Game as a Recreation" In the Febru-
ary number of Recreation, Charles M.
Whitney, who has been unusually sue
cessful in making photographs Of wild
game, declares that to achieve success
iii wild animal photography is no sim
ecure; in reality, it usually is a process
Of volution. In order of development
it appears late, and perhaps most af-
ter this wise: It is not unlikely that
the hunter has gone into the woods
early in September to be on hand when
the hunting season opens, and at that
time the game is still to be found along
the water courses. AS the guide pad
dies him along in his canoe, on pros
pecting" excursion, they suddenly come
upon a deer or moose at close range,
and as the hunter watches the animals
beautiful or characteristic poses. the
thought occurs to him that it would be
worth d great deal just then to have
a camera. The succeeding stages are
painful, to say the least. The veteran

Arabian Horses in ireland.

A live question among biologists has
long been that of the origin Of distinc.
lively Oriental characteristics among
The horses Of Ireland. Many have be-
lfeved that the cause was the introduc-
ton, in historic times, Sof. horses from
the Spanish peninsula possessing East
ern characters. Recently, however. DR..
r. F. Scharff has examined the re-
mains of Irish horses from boys. caves,
and crannogs, many of which he be-
lieves to have been. wild horses, and
he finds that these are quite as Arab
in their forms as any OF The modern
horses Of Ireland, and even more so.
The conclusion Is that the Oriental
features of the modern stock are the
result Of inheritance from an original
wild stock possessing those characters.
