Third—To set forth the advantages and pleasures of 
houseboating in so truthful a manner that others 
may become interested in the pastime. 
The book contains forty specially prepared articles by 
owners and designers of well-known houseboats, and is 
beautifully illustrated with nearly 200 line and half-tone 
reproductions of plans and exteriors and interiors. A 
most interesting chapter is devoted to houseboating in 
England. 
The book has been carefully prepared by Mr. Albert 
Bradlee Hunt.

designs and plans of canvas canoes and their parts. 
Two large, full-sized working (24x38) drawings in a 
pocket in a cover. Cloth, 115 pages. Price, $1.25. 
This interesting manual of how to build, cruise and live 
in a canvas canoe is written by one of the most enthu¬ 
siastic of the older generation of canoeists, who has had 
a long experience of cruising on the Shenandoah River, 
and of building the boats best adapted to such river 
cruising. With the help of this volume, aided by its 
abundant plans and illustrations, any boy or man who 
has a little mechanical skill can turn out for himself at 
trifling expense a canoe alike durable and beautiful.

JIM OF ROCHESTER. 
1 It was while in the North Woods with the 
Muir boys that the following is said to have hap¬ 
pened : A party were camping at Clear Pond. 
One of them strayed off by himself in quest of 
fun and something to shoot at. He became lost, 
and as the shades of night began to creep over 
the landscape, he began to get troubled, then 
' scared; and as he was scared he ever and anon 
would shout, “Man lost! man lost!” And as the 
deepening shades of night drew on he became 
frantic, and made the welkin ring again and again 
with the despairing cry of “Man lost! man lost!” 
Just as day faded into night, and he shrieked 
the despairing cry like the wail of the lost, a 
horned owl, perched on a tree near by, with all 
the wisdom of his race cried out, “Who, who, 
I a-who, whoo?” The man stopped and started, 
I and then in answer to the query answered, Jim, 
| of Rochester, jmu fool you.” S. S.
