SCOPE OF THE VOLUME. 



Pew new buyers of steam yachts have more than a vague comprehension of the driving power of then vessels, and few 

 have the time or inclination to enter upon a prolonged scientific study of the theory of steam machinery, particularly when 

 the practical results to them do not seem proportional to the efforts put forth. This volume is intended to be sufficiently 

 comprehensive, and elementary at the same time, to suit the yacht owner's object of acquiring a general understanding of 

 the subject as a whole, with specific information and data covering the most recent practice.— From Author's Preface.

STEVENS SPECIAL FIRE ARMS. 



Wherever shooting is done, in all parts of the world, the Stevens Rifles and Pistols are 



being introduced, and on account of their superior accuracy are preferred. 



STEVENS PISTOLS have made more brilliant records and have done finer work than any 

 other pistol ever made. 



STEVENS RIFXES have made records which were considered impossible. 

 STEVENS POCKET RIFLES are carried by ladies, anglers, tourists and hunters. They 

 are marvels of accuracy, compactness and beauty. 



STEVENS LADIES* RIFLE is the proper rifle for "ladies. It is wonderfully accurate and 

 has no recoil. 



The 33 long rifle and the .25 rim-fire cartridges, the most accurate small-bore cartridges made, 

 were originated by this company. These celebrated rifles and pistols are manufactured by

 absurdly impracticable dishes given in some so-called camp cookery books. The cooking 

 outfit is described, and numerous hints on camp economy add to the value of the work
