Houseboats and Houseboatin# 
BY ALBERT BRADLEE HUNT. 
A volume devoted to a new outdoor field which 
has for its purpose three objects: 
First—To make known the opportunities American waters 
afford for enjoyment of houseboating life. 
Second—To properly present the development which 
houseboating has attained in this country. 
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. 
The work is printed on extra heavy coated paper, and is 
bound in olive green buckram. The price is $3 net. 
Postage 34 cents.

LOONS HATCHED IN SUIT CASE. 
Four days ago two loon eggs were resting on 
the water-soaked platform which answered all 
the requirements of a nest, in a small lake near 
Georgian Bay, Ontario. After discovery many 
people visited it, and the mother loon apparently 
deserted her eggs, leaving them damp and cold 
on the soggy leaves. Ira E. Veail, of Columbus, 
O., put them in a dress suit case and brought 
them to New York. On reaching a hotel he was 
astonished to hear sounds coming from his bag. 
and, it being opened, a fluffy black loon chick 
tumbled out, and scrambled about on the carpet. 
The second egg was pipped, and, the next morn¬ 
ing, having nothing but muskmelon rind to offer 
the chick, which it did not seem to relish, Mr. 
Veail carried his collection to the curator of 
birds in the Zoological Park in the Bronx. 
Here, chick number one was given a good swim 
in a tub of water, and a hearty meal of live 
fish, and chick number two was helped out of 
his shell. At the present, both are thriving, and 
are being closely watched, the opportunity being 
a unique one for testing the development of the 
various instincts of these birds which, having 
never seen their parents, of course, have learned 
nothing and know nothing of wild loon life, loon 
calls, or loon ways.—New York Evening Post.
