last anywhere. They're made to give protection, 

 not to seek it. Every metal worker knows what 

 the red "APOLLO" stands for, and if he has his 

 way, no other brand \\'ill be used. 



Don't give lirst cost too much thought, for 

 Apollo Sheets are reasonable in price, and when 

 trueness to gauge, superiority of material, easy 

 working qualities and long life are considered, 

 they are the only ones which should be used.

right way and by the right people. If the 

 low cost house in America is still an unsolved 

 problem it is chiefly because it has not been 

 attacked by the right designers. The present 

 book is eloquent and convincing testimony as 

 to what can be done in England, and it should 

 not be as impossible as it seems to be to ac- 

 complish similar results in America. 



Mr. Elder-Duncan's book is embellished 

 with numerous plates. The illustrations are 

 chiefly from photographs of the actual build- 

 ings, although a few architectural drawings 

 are also included. The pictures are chiefly of 

 exteriors, although interiors are not neglected, 

 and the plans are given in every instance. The 

 cost likewise is stated on the plates, except in 

 those instances where it is inadvisable or im- 

 possible to give it. The text consists of two in- 

 troductory chapters, with a special discussion 

 of the question of cost. Descriptions — admir- 

 ably brief and complete — follow of the various 

 houses illustrated, and the volume closes with 

 some notes on cottage gardens — confessedly 

 brief — and a note on the professional charges 

 of architects. Mr. Elder-Duncan's text, ex- 

 cept in the purely descriptive passages, is 

 both entertaining and suggestive, and his 

 book is to be warmly commended in every way. 



Principles and Practice of Plumbing, 

 By J. J. Cosgrove. Pittsburgh: Stand- 

 ard Sanitary Mfg. Co. Pp. 8+278, 

 Price, $3.00, postpaid. 

 Prepared more for the practical plumber 

 than for the amateur in plumbing, this book 

 merits the warmest praise. It undertakes to 

 deal with every aspect of the plumbing art, 

 and so far carries out its avowed purpose that 

 it is difficult to find a plumbing problem that 

 is not satisfactorily answered in its pages. If 

 is clearly written, and the facts it is concerned 

 with are presented in the most concise manner 

 possible. The numerous illustrations have 

 been prepared expressly for it, and are models 

 of technical drawing — clear and precise, and 

 illustrating not only the object discussed, but 

 its essential parts. It is, on the whole, a 

 model handbook of its subject, and is a book 

 destined to hold a high place in the literature 

 of plumbing and the many important problems 

 relating to it.
