Mammals No Longer Stuffed.


Mammals No Longer Stuffed.
One reason that the mammal speci-
mems now take so much longer to mount
and cost so much more in the mounting
is that a specimen is no longer stuffed.
This used to be the method. and skins
were stuffed full of almost anything, like
a pillow being showed in a pillow case.
and the result was almost as hfelke.
Now there Is a perfect model Of the
skinned animal made, and the hide Is
fitted nicely over this. so that the work
is practically imperishable.
One of the Roosevelt giraffes is now
being mounted by this method. 1t is an
animal fifteen and a half feet high. The
body is being built up of modelling clay.
1t is perfectly formed. and the skull and
horns are mounted on the model to re-
ceive the skin. But the clay carcass is
not covered with the skin. In the first
place the clay model would weigh about
three tons, and, then. the clay would
shrink, and, ultimately, crack and sift
out through the stitches in the hide.
The clay model is used to made the
mold on which the skin is mounted
This mold is made of a layer of burlap
and a layer of Plaster about the same
thickness. Then there Is layer OF fly
netting and another layer OF plaster and
burlap. This makes a strong form that
is reinforced with what is practically a
skeleton of small steel rods. The hide
is put on over this, and the whole mount
ed on a pedestal. The finished specimen.
instead of weighing more than three tons,
will weigh under 800 pounds. The hide
is poisoned so as to be insect-proof, and
the only thing that can affect 1t is light.
One of the other big specimens that is
now finished and ready to go out is an
African buffalo, an animal weighing 1.5OO
pounds. and one of the wickedest horned
beasts that is hunted. This immense
specimen that is bigger than any ortho-
doX steer. is so light that 1t can be rolled
around on its mount by one of its horns.
Thus the Roosevelt specimens are being
prepared rapidly and carefully as pos
sible and they will be put out in the new
museum as they are finished but there
will be no separate Roosevelt collection.
