A Guide to Nature The best.General b4agazine of Nature Ever Published A successful attempt to publish a'"Professional '! Magazine with the Amateur Spirit. Attempts of various parties in the past have shown that it is very easy to Publish in the amateur way, with the amateur spirit. But soon the body was "dead" and only the spitfit left. The Guide to Nature is for all students and lovers of nature. That includes all oruithologists, though it isn't an ornithological magazine. There are really some thiugs in nature beside birds that are worth while. The Guide to Nature is too good, to expensive for free distribution. No other nature magazine ever published contains so many beautiful illustrations. Send 15c for single copy, or join with us whole-heartedly and send $1.50 for a year EDWAIkD F.
