[Illustration: TAMMEN'S JUVENILE ROCKY MOUNTAIN CABINET]
Young people are born naturalists. Their first
inquiries are in regard to the attractive objects
of nature around them; and their future mental
activity--or stupidity--depends largely upon the
answers they receive. _Parents_ and _teachers_ should,
therefore, be able to encourage and satisfy the first
cravings of their inquiring minds. To aid in this,
and to afford abundant entertainment more pleasing
than toys, far cheaper and more instructive than mere
amusement, we have secured a large quantity of the
Rocky Mountain Cabinets expressly for our special
premium use. Each Juvenile Cabinet contains 4 specimens
of gold, 3 of silver, 1 zinc, 1 lead, 3 iron, 2 copper
ores--each a different variety--1 agate (surface
polished), opalized wood, rock crystal, silicified
wood, molydenum, Iceland spar, topaz, 2 jaspers,
dendrite, tourmaline, opal agate, arragonite, milky
quartz, sulphur, selenite, Amazon stone, feldspar,
fluorspar, variscite, chalcedony, petrified wood,
alabaster, mica, wavellite, etc. The specimens in this
cabinet are in a strong pasteboard box, divided into
40 sections (size 8-1/2 by 6-1/2 inches) in which the
objects are affixed. A descriptive manual is sent with
each cabinet, giving the history, properties and uses
of the different minerals and gems. Price 85 cents
postpaid.
