Literary 



BIOGRAPHICAL 



Manual of Biological Projection and Anes- 

 thesia of Animals. A practical guide 

 in the selection and operation of pro- 

 jection apparatus, the methods of pre- 

 paring live animals and plants for 

 projection, the anesthesia of animals, 

 and the little knacks in manipulation 

 which insure success in projecting vi- 

 vographs. By Aaron Hodgman Cole, 

 A. M., Instructor in Biology and Pro- 

 jection in the Chicago Normal School. 

 Chicago: A. 11. Cole, 6022 Monroe Ave- 

 nue. 



This hook practically exemplifies a 

 method of studying living minute organ- 

 isms that I have advocated and used for 

 many years. I firmly believe that such 

 projection is for most, objects far more 

 effective than is study under the compound 

 microscope. 



The author has excellently worked out 

 many devices of convenience and advocates 

 extensively the use of chloretone. 



It is hoped that the use of his methods 



will encourage individual students to do 

 all the laboratory work that time and facil- 

 ities permit in the study of live organisms, 

 and will enable teachers to more wisely 

 direct biological study and thoroughly test 

 and properly broaden the student's knowl- 

 edge, while adding interest and creating 

 enthusiasm. 



Practical Guide to the Wild Flowers and 

 Fruits. By George Lincoln Walton, M. 

 D. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott 

 Company. 



This book is based like Dana's and some 

 others on the color. Charts for each color 

 of llower or fruit have been so arranged 

 that a given specimen may be traced 

 through successive divisions to the group 

 in which it will be found. 



The author has an especially kindly feel- 

 ing for other books for the same end, and 

 says this is to supplement not to compete 

 or to replace.
