Hunting Wild Animals
(Continued from Sixth Page.)
Afrlcnn veldt and tho dogolnto wastes of
Arctic America have been visited by tho
devotees of sclcnco and sport, who havo re
turned laden not only with pelts nnd car
cass, but dry platen and films.
It Is orio of the most Important functions
of outdoor photography today to preserve
for posterity a-record of passing conditions
nnd of diminishing species, nnd n work like
tho present is of permanent Interest nnd will
Increase In historical and bibliographical
value as time goes on.
The supply of photographic material
drawn upon for this monumental work was
virtually unlimited, nnd Interesting nncc
dotcs were often told of tho obstacles over
como by thoso who, partly by groat strength
nnd skill nnd partly by seizing happy
chnnces, havo captured and preserved for us
tho portraits of a host of nnlmnts of every
sort.
One Instnnco out of many will sufllco to
Rhow how great peril frequen'ly was In
curred In obtaining theso photographs:
"Lord Dclanicro has been two yenrs In
'tho unbeaten tracks of .eastern Central
Africa, accompanied by two Kuropcnns nnd
nbout 200 natives taking snap shots. On
one occasion, on tho Uganda rond, tho
shlknrrl who was In tho lend d'scoverod n
magnificent lion looking rcuml a bush, glar
ing Inquiringly nt the party. Lord Dola
moro fixed his camera lfiO yards nway nnd
proceeded to focus tho man-cater. Tho lion
watched theso proceedings with evident
nmazement, but nllowed several photo
graphs to bo taken. Then ho strolled
leisurely townrd tho photographer, who
promptly decamped. After satisfying his
curiosity about this Ins'rument, his forest
mnjesty walked leisurely nway. Lord Dela
mcro took several snap shots of him as ho
walked down the road."
Tho duchess of Bedford was among tho
most liberal contributors to this supply of
Illustrations, and so was Hon. Wnltcr
Rothschild,, for whom photographs havo
been made In all parts of the world. Ono

Tho publishers have been extremely for

of tho liest anlmnl photographers of
tho day and grent Interest has been taken
In the work by many eminent trnvolcrn nnd
zoologists. Some Idea of the amount of
photographic material placed at the pub
lishers' ("Isposal may bo gathered from the
fact that tho sixty-eight Illustrations In
Part I havo been selected out of several
hundreds of photographs of monkeys nlonc.
A new camera has been specially built for
tho express purpose of taking anlmnl life.
Only recently has It been possible to
utilize photography In nny Important plc

Hpeelnl apparatus required to obtain suc

While the most striking feature of the
"Living Animals" Is tho collection of Illus
trations, tho time nnd expenditure devoted
to this department Is fully equalled by the
attention given to tho descriptive portion of
tho work. The greatest living authorltlcf
hrve been called upon to do tho editing
nnd every article reveals tho hnnd of one
who Is n master of his subject. The men

Mr. W. Savlllo-Kent, author of "Tho Croat
Harrier Heef," has been assigned tho mar
suplnls of Australia, and nlso tho reptiles
generally. Sir Herbert W. Maxwell writes
on tho salmon family, nnd so on, while Dr

tho heart of their natlvo wilds. Not tho

Indebted to Dr. R. W. Shufeldt of Wash

useful in somo Instnnces, but In tho ma
jority of ense's they nro worse than usoless;
they nro misleading. Take tho South
African lion for example; his nspect changes
radically when ho Is removed from his
natural environment. "Tho wild lion Is n
much moro alert and actlvo animal than
a menagcrlo specimen, nnd when In good
condition, la far better built nnd moro pow

too, look brown nnd usunlly sleepy, while
thoso of tho wild nnlmnl nro yellow nnd
extraordinarily luminous, oven after death."
