How To Build a Launch From Plans. 
With genviral instructions for the care and running of gas engines. By Chas. 
G. Davis. With 40 diagrams, 9 folding drawings and 8 full-page plans. 
Price, postpaid, $1.50 « 
This is a practical and complete manual for the amateur builder of motor 
launches. It is written simply, clearly and understandingly by one who is a 
practical builder, and whose instructions are so definite and full that with this 
manual on hand the amateur may successfully build his own craft. 
The second part of the work is devoted to the use and care of gas engines, 
and this chapter is so specific, complete and helpful that it should be studied 
by every user of such an engine. Mr. Davis has given us a book which should 
have a vast influence in promoting the popularity of motor launches.

Samoa 'Uma 
Where Life is Different. 
By Llewella Pierce Churchill. 
Under the attractive title Samoa 'Uma, or "All Samoa," Mrs. Llewella Pierce 
Churchill has written a book for which she gathered the material during a resi- 
dence at Apia, where her husband, William Churchill, was the American Consul- 
General. The conditions of life at the Consulate were most favorable for a 
study of the people, and with the instinct of a journalist Mrs. Churchill im- 
proved the opportunity to the full. As a woman she won confidences which 
would have been denied to a man, and acquired a vast fund of interesting lore 
which would have been withheld from one less sympathetic and less fully trusted. 
Thus she learned and has here described the real Samoa, that is the Samoans 
as they are. 
The successive chapters give an admirably complete picture of a people in 
whom, as we read of them in these vivacious pages, Mrs. Churchill compels us 
to feel an unflagging interest. The book is well balanced; there is just enough 
of the history of Samoa to give an understanding of the events which have 
brought a portion of the islands under the flag of the United States; and just 
enough of description to make an appropriate and effective stage setting. But 
the chief characteristic of this brightly written book is action of incident and 
story. It is writing of the sort that has movement, and leads one on from 
page to page. 
"Samoa 'Uma" is not exclusively about the Samoans; there is a chapter on 
Papalangi life, from which it appears that living in Samoa is so different; and 
some of the best things in the book are the personal experiences and adventures 
of this particular Papalangi woman, whose love of outdoor life led her on fre- 
quent excursions amid the coral reefs and iiito the dark jungles. 
All in all, it is a book that will be read through, and read more than once.
