 Finally, the question remains why the

 story, and why the title "Heart of Hem-

 be shaky and unsound at the heart. A. B. R. 



Text-Book of Physics. By Louis Bevier 



Spinney. (Macmillan.) 



This is a valuable test book for uni- 

 versity and college students. The author 

 has emphasized the practical aspects of the 

 science, illustrating the laws of physics as 

 far as possible by reference to familiar 

 phenomena and exemplifying principles by 

 discussing their applications. The subject 

 of mechanics is stressed. The book will 

 be very valuable as a basis for class-room 

 work, to be supplemented by a course of 

 experimentally illustrated lectures and suit- 

 able laboratory exercises.

Broken Shackles. By John Gordon. 



ranee.) 



This novel, by John Gordon, will be wide- 

 ly read. An unusual, vital story -that is 

 true, it grips and bears one on from the 

 silent strength of forest places to black, 

 belching factory stacks, from the peace of 

 an old and maple-shaded town to the world 

 outside, with its snarled-up web of fash- 

 ionables, politics and driving, smashing in- 

 dustry. It is a story of many men and 

 a few women all real. A worker rises 

 from the rest, and a woman .the one wom- 

 an, comes to meet him. It is a story of 

 today, filled with the breath of the woods, 

 the smoke of the mills ; work, and the wages 

 of work are told. The plot is carved from 

 life, and there is fascination in the telling. 



Two very interesting leaflets have recent- 

 ly been issued by the Barrett Company, 

 one treating specifically of the preservation 

 6f wood roof decks with carbosota and 

 the other covering quite generally the sub- 

 ject of longer life for mine timbers through 

 proper preservative treatment. They tell 

 just what to do and how to do it, and are 

 full of valuable information. 



Recognition is being generally given to 

 the place of forest fire propaganda in the 

 national campaign being conducted for fire 

 prevention, as evidenced by the last chap- 

 ter in the reprint of "The Teaching of Fire 

 Prevention" put out by the State of New 

 Jersey, which is entitled "Forest Fires" 

 and was written by C. P. Wilber, State 

 Firewarden of New Jersey. The subject 

 is thoroughly, clearly and convincingly 

 covered. 



Inspired by the message in the lines of 

 "Forest Fires," by John D. Guthrie, S. Wal- 

 ter Krebs, the prominent young American 

 pianist and composer, has set the poem to 

 music and dedicated the song to the Ameri- 

 can Forestry Association. He first wrote it 

 as a solo, but later arranged it as a quar- 

 tette for male voices.
