[graphic]

In April, 1904, we placed a Fox Typewriter on trial with the Pastor of the First Baptist Church, Fairport, New York. He wrote us on April 27th:

[ocr errors]

HURRAH FOR THE FOX'-I refuse to part with it. Courteous dealing and the Fox Typewriter make a wellnigh irresistible combination. I confess I am captured, and am glad of it."

On December 29th, 1913-almost ten years later-we wrote the above minister and inquired if he was still using the typewriter and if not if he would be interested in seeing our new model. any reader of THE HOMILETIC REVIEW would like to write to this minister we will gladly give his name. His reply follows:

Freeville, N. Y., January 19, 1914.

Fox Typewriter Company,

Dear Sirs:

"Yours of recent date received. I am still using the same 'FOX' and it is good enough for me. This is a sample of its work and I have never spent a

cent on it.

WRITE TO-DAY FOR MINISTERS' PRICES

Don't allow yourself to be "talked" into buying any kind of typewriter at any price until you have compared it side by side with the Fox. Of course, you can buy a dozen different makes of typewriters for less money than you can the Fox but what is ten, fifteen, or even twenty-five dollars, compared with as many years of typewriter satisfaction?

Then, too, our special price to ministers brings our very latest model well within the reach of every reader of THE HOMILETIC REVIEW.

Write to-day for catalog and special ministers' prices and learn how you can help pay us for your own typewriter by assisting in making sales to others.

Cassell's Natural History

By F. MARTIN DUNCAN, F.R.P.S., F.R.M.S.

Member of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, Author of "Denizens of the Deep," etc.

A NEW VOLUME of absorbing charm for every one interested in Biology. Treats all divisions.

BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH made possible the Panama Canal. It is the companion if not the forerunner of progress. Means wider welfare, greater development.

A MAN MUST KNOW Biology to be well informed. The earlier he begins to study it, the better.

ATTRACTIVE TEXT

This handsome work is not too technical to be attractive. It gives a broad survey of the Animal Kingdom, in all its divisions-a marvelous variety.

Beginning with the Protozoa The Dawn of Life-its Thirty-one Chapters are wonderfully comprehensive.

It reveals the facts long hidden which Biological investigation has made so plain of recent years.

It is NEW, and FRESH, and Scientifically authoritative, while at the same time popular in style and attractive in its matter.

PROFUSE ILLUSTRATIONS

The excellences of its text are complemented by the variety and value of its illustrations.

There are Sixteen Full-Page Colored Plates, and more than 200 other engravings.

All these numerous additions to and illumi ations of the text were prepared from the author's original photographs. They therefore carry accuracy of resemblance not formerly assured.

They enable the student to make visual acquaintance with the varied phases of life about which he seeks to know.

SINGULAR FACTS IN MANY FORMS OF EXISTENCE

They challenge attention in these pages. They compel interest. They excite wonder. They allure to study. They cause amusement and amazement. They are educating, diverting.

Some oysters are alternate as to sex-first one sex and then the other.

Some lobsters become hypnotized and stand on their heads.

Some scorpions conduct their courtship humorously, but their marriage ends in tragedy-the female eats the male.

Some butterflies have a gift of mimicry and practise it-also certain moths.

Some beetles are undertakers and bury whatever dead thing they find; are called "Sextons."

Some animals can live without food from six months to two years.

Some ants are slave-holders, capture their slaves in organized raids, and force them into service.

Some ants run dairies, and regularly milk their cows. Bees dominate their queens, and compel these to produce the sort of eggs they choose.

The working bee is the female; the drone is the male, and her inferior every way, except in size.

Some birds hop, and bow, and pirouette like the funniest harlequins, and others are born mimics.

The earth-worm is an agriculturist-is both a tiller and a creator of the soil.
