The Scientific American 
Boy at School 
By A. RUSSELL BOND 
12mo, 6 x 8% inches, 338 pages, 314 illustrations. 
Price, $2.00 Postpaid 
An ideal Book for Boys and Particularly so for the 
Holidays 
HIS book is a sequel to ‘‘ The Scientific American Boy,” many thousand 
Ai copies of which have been sold, and has proven very popular witu the 
boys. The main object of the book is to instruct how to build various 
devices and apparatus, particularly for outdoor use. The construction of the 
apparatus which is fully within the scope of the average boy, is fully 
described and the instructions are interwoven in a story, a feature which has 
assisted in making ‘‘ The Scientific American Boy”’ so popular and interesting to 
the boy. “ 
It takes up the story of “Bill” and several of his companions at boarding 
school. They form a mysterious Egyptian society, whose object is to emulate 
the resourcefulness of the ancients. Their Chief Astrologer and Priest of the 
Sacred Scarabeus is gifted with unusual powers, but his magic is explained so 
that others can copy it. Under the directions of the Chief Engineer, dams, 
bridges and canal-locks are constructed. The Chief Admiral and Naval Con- 
structor builds many types of boats, some of which are entirely new. The 
Chief Craftsman and the Chief Artist also have their parts in the work done 
by the Society, over which Pharaoh and his Grand Vizier have charge. Follow-
