Gas Engines and Launches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. By Francis 
K. Grain. 123 pages. Price, $1.25. 
Here is a pocket manual indispensable to every man 
who uses a motor-boat. It deals in simple untechnical 
fashion with the running of the marine gas engine, and 
with the difficulties that the marine gas engineer is likely 
to meet with. These engines are described, some pages 
are devoted to launches in general, with practical advice 
to the man who contemplates purchasing a power boat 
The main feature of the book, however, is a clear descrip 
tion of the difficulties met with in running a gas engine 
their causes and how to remedy them. In this discussion 
all technicalities are avoided, and the author has boiled 
down a vast amount of practical knowledge into smal' 
space and into every-day language. The amateur powei 
boat man needs this book, for it will save him much time 
and trouble, and probably not a little money.

Bears I Have Met—And Others. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper, 209 pages. Price, 60 cents. 
After some years of peaceful slumber, Mr. 
Kelly’s most excellent book of bear stories was 
roused to life by a recent criticism of Mr. Seton, 
the question being where Mr. Seton got his ma¬ 
terial for his bear stories, for a number of people 
suggested that it was taken from Mr. Kelly’s 
book. With the merits of this controversy “our¬ 
selves have naught to do,” but the matter in Mr. 
Kelly’s book is excellent, interesting and worthy 
of prettv much anv author.

boats and the installing, care and running of gasolene 
motors. By Charles G. Davis. With 40 diagrams, 
9 folding drawings and 8 full-page plans. Price,

tation. All the instruction given is definite and com¬ 
prehensive, 40 diagrams, 9 folding drawings and 8 full- 
page plans. That portion of the boat devoted to the use 
and care of gas engines should be most carefully perused 
by every individual who operates one. The book is well 
worth the price asked for it.

Houseboats and Houseboating 
BY ALBERT BRADLEE HUNT. 
A volume devoted to a new outdoor field which

First—To make known the opportunities American waters

reproductions of plans and exteriors and interiors. A 
most interesting chapter is devoted to houseboating in 
England.

Saunv Lovel’s Boy. 
By Royland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of 
Danvis books. No one has pictured the New 
Englander with so much insight as has Mr. Rob¬ 
inson. Sam Lovel and Huldah are two of the 
characters of the earlier books in the series, and 
the boy is young Sam, their son, who grows up 
under the tuition of the coterie of friends that we 
know so well, becomes a man just at the time of 
the Civil War and carries a musket in defense of 
what he believes to be the right.

TROUT VORACITY. 
A trout of about six ounces in weight was 
caught during a flood time with worm. Its 
stomach appeared to be somewhat distended, 
and on being pressed as many earthworms were 
brought out as would have given an hour’s 
sport even when the fish were biting. There 
were ninety of them and two large white snails, 
which goes to prove the extraordinary amount 
of fish food that comes down our rivers during 
a snate. An old working man angler caught 
with fly a pretty trout of a pound in weight, 
which was at once purchased for sixpence by a 
gentleman passing at the time. He took it 
home to his residence adjoining the river, but 
in ten minutes returned and asked for his money 
back. To justify his claim he produced a score 
of minnows which he said his cook had taken 
from the inside of the recently purchased fish.
