Miss Rogers has made an extensive study of conchology on the east and west coasts of North America. The result is this popular guide to a knowledge of the families of living mollusks, which is also an aid to the identification of shells native and foreign. There is a chapter on the maintenance of aquariums and snaileries. Eight of the plates are in color, and ninety-six in black and white for the most part from photographs by A.R. Dugmore. ROGERS, J.E. The Tree Book. Doubleday. 4.00 Most of this volume is devoted to teaching us in an interesting manner how to know the trees of North America. There are, in addition, articles on Forestry, The Uses of Wood, and The Life of the Trees. Sixteen of the plates are in color and one hundred and sixty in black and white from photographs by Mr. Dugmore. ST. JOHN, T.M. Wireless Telegraphy. St. John. 1.00 Theoretical and practical information, together with complete directions for performing numerous experiments on wireless telegraphy with simple home-made apparatus.--_Title-page._ SHARP, D.L. (p. 224) A Watcher in the Woods. Illustrated by Bruce Horsfall. Century. .84 These talks about our small animal neighbors are full of descriptive interest, and the accompanying black and white illustrations are beautiful. Mr. Burroughs says: Of all the nature books of recent years, I look upon Mr. Sharp's as the best. VOOGT, GOSEWINUS DE. Our Domestic Animals. Translated by Katharine P. Wormeley. Ginn. 3.50 While this large volume gives much information in regard to the habits, intelligence, and usefulness, of those animals which have helped man's civilization forward, the text is not nearly as interesting as it might have been made. The many illustrations, however, are very satisfactory. STORIES Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know, Are a substantial world, both pure and good: Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood, Our pastime and our happiness will grow. WORDSWORTH. BULLEN, F.T. The Cruise of the Cachalot. Appleton. 1.50 I've never read anything that equals it in its deep-sea (p. 225) wonder and mystery; nor do I think that any book before has so completely covered the whole business of whale-fishing, and at the same time given such real and new sea pictures. RUDYARD KIPLING. In the following pages an attempt has been made--it is believed for the first time--to give an account of the cruise of a South Sea whaler from the seaman's standpoint.--_Preface._
