BOOKS. REPORTS, ETC. 
Self-Propelled Vehicles. — A practical 
treatise on all forms of automobiles, by 
James E. Homans, A. M., Fifth Revised 
Edition, entirely rewritten. New York, 
Theo. Audel & Co., 63 Fifth avenue, 
1907. In his revision the author has 
emphasized the practical aspects of mor 
tor vehicles of all powers, confining his 
space to the discussion of matters fun- 
damental in construction and manage- 
ment. Recognizing that the gasoline 
vehicle is the typical automobile, consid- 
erable space is devoted to its complete 
discussion. All the accessory parts of 
an automobile, carbureters, igniters, 
transmission gears, are fully explained 
by typical examples. 
“Forest Planting in Eastern Nebras- 
ka,” by Frank G. Miller, has been is- 
sued as Circular 45 of the Forest Serv- 
ice. It is a thirty-two-page pamphlet, 
giving a description of the region, its 
forest planting, and a survey of the ex- 
isting plantations, describing all the dif- 
ferent forest growths of that territory. 
The annual report of the Massachu- 
setts Civic League contains reports of 
committees on billboards, drunkenness, 
juvenile offenders, newsboys, play- 
grounds, and town and village better- 
ment. The report of secretary Edward 
T. Hartman shows a gain of ninety-six 
members during the year, making a to- 
tal of 931. A record of the legislation 
supported and secured by the League is 
given, and the “Town Room,” an insti- 
tution described in their last annual re- 
port, has developed into a practical cen- 
ter for the exchange of improvement 
ideas. The expenditures for the year 
amounted to $6,175. 
The nineteenth annual report of the 
Purdue Agricultural Experiment Station 
gives an interesting record of the work 
at that station, including reports of the 
officers and the various departments. 
The Society of American Florists has 
issued its annual volume giving the re- 
port of the proceedings of the twenty- 
second annual convention at Dayton, 
Ohio, Aug. 21-24, 1906. 
The National Council of Horticul- 
ture has called for the meeting of a 
congress of the horticulturists of the 
world to assemble at Jamestown, 
Virginia, during the latter part of 
the exposition to be held there in 
1907, to commemorate the 400th an- 
niversary of the first English settle- 
ment in the United States. The exact 
date of the meeting and the formal 
programme has not been decided 
upon, but will be announced later, 
and in the meantime they ask that all 
interested in progressive horticulture 
plan to attend the congress and com- 
municate with Dr. H. C. Irish, The 
Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, 
Mo., as to what definite subjects 
should be discussed.
