Gas Engines and Launches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. By Francis

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 small 
space and into every-day language. The amateur power 
boat man needs this book, for it will save him much time 
and trouble, and probably not a little money.

INDIAN WILD DOGS. 
The three specimens of wild dogs from India 
in the Prince of Wales’s collection at the Zoo¬ 
logical Gardens, London, possess interest in more 
than one particular. There has been only a 
single specimen, prior to the present ones, re¬ 
ceived since 1898, but altogether about seven have 
been deposited in the Gardens, the earliest re¬ 
ceived being as far back as 1884. To the ordinary 
observer these Indian dogs bear a striking resem¬ 
blance to what might result from a hybrid be¬ 
tween the dog and the fox, were such a cross 
possible, while at the same time one of the speci¬ 
mens has that peculiar expression of countenance 
seen in the hyena. At the same time they are 
entirely different in every outward respect from 
the Cape hunting dogs, a specimen of which was 
in the Gardens up to about a couple of years ago. 
These Indian dogs, or southern dholes ( Canis 
dukhunensis) , little bigger than a fox, have the 
appearance of great activity, the shoulders being 
well sloped, and the hind quarters being powerful, 
well turned, and of great length in proportion 
to -the body generally; each of these dogs has a 
peculiar roundness or protuberance of the 
stomach, so often seen in an unhealthy domestic 
dog, which it is to be hoped is not a sign of 
ill health here. A particular feature in these 
specimens in the Gardens is to be seen in the 
peculiar roundness of the tips of the ears, which 
is not nearly so apparent in Keuleman’s illustra¬ 
tions in Mivart’s great work on the Canidae. Nor
