The character of cross section varies according to the views and 

 purposes of the designer. Some hoats are given a great deal of 

 dead rise to the floor, with flare, to the topsides above water. 

 Others are distinguished by flat floor and low bilge, particularly 

 where Ike draft is to bo small. The illustrations throughout these 

 pages supply ample information on this head. 



Fore and aft waterlines follow no specific rule. Wide boats 

 need some hollow in the ends to produce sharp entrance. Narrow 

 boats are so fine from their dimensions that the entrance is fre- 

 quently wedge shape or even parabolic in character. Wide boats 

 need greater length of entrance than narrow craft, as the beam 

 has to be "conciliated." In narrow high speeds the length of run 

 is increased to insure complete closing of the wake and avoid un- 

 balanced "head" at the bow. 



Towiug competitive models through tanks with adequate in- 

 struments for correct notation is the only method upon which 

 the designer can depend for positive forecast of speed perform- 

 ance.

This admirable guide is a perfect storehouse of information 

 about the North Woods. It gives routes, descriptions of all points 

 of interest and is crammed full of things useful and things enter- 

 taining. There are practical directions about everything a tour- 

 ist needs to know about; and the historical and descriptive pages 

 add not a little to the value of the volume. The correctness of 

 Wallace's Guide is a point on which the author justly claims 

 merit, and we are not at all surprised that each year calls for a 

 new edition. The book is not only accurate, but very comprehen- 

 sive, and ought to have a place in the duffle of every North Woods 

 visitor, be he hotel tourist or genuine outer.

One of the queerest facts in natural history has been dis- 

 covered by Rev. J. J. Lafferty, of Richmond, who gives it to 

 the world in his religious journal as follows: "'When a 

 sparrow hawk pounces on a guinea he lets the guinea fly, but 

 the hawk, sitting on the back of the fowl, uses his own tail 

 to guide the guinea. He always steers his victim to his nest 

 in the forest.— Atlanta Connitution.

Gentlemen— I wish to thank you for the very excellent shell 

 you are putting on the market. I refer to the "Climax." I swear 

 by it, not at it, as I have had to do with other makes. It has 

 given me unqualified satisfaction ever since I first began to use 

 it, and that is since its introduction. Don't allow it to deteriorate, 

 and sportsmen will call you "blessed." Very truly yours,

Translated by 

 REV. S. W. POWELL. 

 The introduction reviews the extraordinary 

 movement of torrent taming in France, in pre- 

 paring public sentiment for which the Studies of 

 Master Peter played a noteworthy part. The 

 hook was written as a sort of science primer, 

 setting forth the first principles of the relations 

 existing between woodlands and agriculture. 

 The principles and reasoning are not less appli- 

 cable to the United States to-day than to France 

 then.
