PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



Annual report of Philip C. Scanlan, 

 Park Commissioner of the City of St. 

 Louis. It appears from the details of 

 this report that the administration of 

 the various sections and departments 

 is in every instance well within the 

 limits of the several appropriations 

 made for their maintenance. Eco- 

 noniiciil ard careful management is 

 conspicuously evident in the itemized 

 financial reports. The book is illus- 

 trated with a number of half-tone 

 plates and a set of panoramic views 

 of the site of the World's Fair before, 

 during and after that memorable 

 event. 



"The Romance of the Reaper" has 

 been received from the publishers, 

 Doubleday, Page & Co. This book, by 

 Herbert N. Casson, tells in a most 

 absorbing way the story of the 

 growth of the great agricultural ma- 

 chinery manufacturing industry in 

 America and vividly portrays the tre- 

 mendous industrial revolution and the 

 emancipation of the agriculturist, 

 which have been brought about by the 

 introduction of American labor-saving 

 agricultural inventions. To the aver- 

 age reader this remarkable story of 

 amazing progress made and forecast 

 of still greater progress yet to come 

 will prove a veritable "eye opener" 

 and he will, indeed, see things in a 

 new light and be quite ready to ad- 

 mit, with the gifted author, that "the 

 harvester is the best barometer of 

 civilization."
