1t requires years of this kind of study before
the taxidermist of today is considered worthy
of his hire. When he takes a dead animal in
hand to prepare 1t for exhibition he takes notice
of the state of its coat. whether it is spring
coat, summer coat, an autumn coat or win
ter coat. II he is to form group of animals of
the same kind he would never think for In
slant of putting with summer coat In the
same group with one wearing winter coat.
In some of the groups in the museums of the
country today, so-called family groups, the male
deer will be shown in its winter coat while its
mate standing by the garb of summer. To
the eye of the naturalist to the eye of the
observing hunter such a condition is ludcrous
and even the layman who Is not familiar with
animals in their wild haunts becomes conscious
that there is something wrong with the animal
family at which he is looking.
Nowadays not only is It the aim to mount the
animal naturally but every vein and every
muscle must be made to appear as in life. All of
this requires the utmost skill and great amount
OF time
II is the intention of the National museum
authorities TO mount many of the larger Roose-
welt specimens in family groups. This means
that I'm a great many instances these groups will
be shown in their native habitats. In other
words, not only must the animals be mounted
properly but they must be given the environment
which they have in the field. This In

Immense Saving Possible.

In preliminary bulletin on the
cost of maintaining a tuberculosis
sanatorium, the National Association
for the Study ane Prevention OF Tu-
berculosis announces that the average
cost per patient per day in thirty
semtcharitable sanatoria scattered In
all parts Of the United States Is
$1.66s. These institutions represent
an annual expenditure of over $780,
900 and over $4,000 days of treat
ment given each year. The bulletin.
which is part of an extensive study
the National association is making for
its bureau of information, points out
that the country could save annually
at least sf50.000,000 IL the INDECENT

the near future must make up their minds that
while they may get glimpses of the Roosevelt
collection it will be a long time before the quarry
will be mounted and presented to public view
so as to show it to the best advantage.
OF course 1t must be understood that by far
the greater number of specimens of animal life
which Theodore Roosevelt and his fellow hunters
obtained are those of small species of the natural
history kingdom. For every elephant obtained,
for instance, there are at least fifty mice, and
for every lion there at least fifty specimens
of the jewellers of the field like the rabbits, the
squirrels, the foxes and other animals which
have their interest to the scientists, but which
do not make brave showing when on mu-

In the old days 1t used to be the custom to
take deer and to wire 1t and fill it with various
kinds of "stufing;' to put in glass eyes and to
treat it with arsenic and then to stand it on
its four legs in a glass case. All this sort of
thing has been done away with as being unwor
