The liberality with which his knowledge, obtained at the expense of countless experiments and failures, has always been placed at thc service of others, has endeared him to all folIowers of his craft, one which, more than any other, demands the acme of patience and self-sacrifice in order to accomplish Iasting results. The lyfe so short, the craft so long to lerne. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS For photographs from which several of our illustrations have been made, we are indebted to Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia, Pa. A. N.
