Nursing vs Dosing. 
A Treatise on the Care of Dogs in Health and Disease. 
By S. T. Hammond ("Shadow”), Author of “Train¬ 
ing vs. Breaking.” 161 pages. Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond believes that more dogs are killed by 
injudicious doctoring than by disease, and the present 
work is a protest against the too free use of medicine 
when dogs are sick. The author has given especial atten¬ 
tion to many of the troubles which especially afflict small 
dogs kept in the house, and likely to suffer from lack of 
exercise and from over-feeding; and boys and girls 
owning dogs—as well as children of larger growth—may 
profitably study and ponder this volume.

Where, When and How to Catch 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida 
By Wm. H. Gregg, of St. Louis, Mo., assisted by Capt. 
John Gardner, of Ponce Park, Mosquito Inlet, Fla. 
With 100 engravings and 12 colored illustrations. 
Cloth. Illustrated. 238 pages. Map. Price, $4.00. 
A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip without 
this book, if he is at all interested in angling. It gives a 
very complete list of the fishes of the East Coast of 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the most 
value to the angler who desires to identify the fish he 
takes, while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in all their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are very 
beautiful. Besides the pictures of fish, there are cuts 
showing portions of the fishing tackle, which the author 
uses. A good index completes the volume.

Sam Lovel’s Boy. 
By Rowland 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. Robinson. 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.

Becking was, of course, in most cases limited 
by the capacity of the larder, for once this was 
filled it was sheer waste to go on shooting, 
and in those days cold storage was a thing 
unheard of. To-day we can keep birds from 
season to season, and can choose young birds 
for the purpose instead of the tough old cocks. 
When the broods are packed together calling 
is of little avail, for in answer to the gunner s 
challenge so many replies will be heard that 
the birds refuse to walk out and do battle, 
being content to simply reply and remain where 
they are. Becking is the only sure method of 
regulating the supply of cock grouse on a 
moor, and probably the huge bags obtained in 
the 70’s were the result of this automatic selec¬ 
tion. Whenever the practice can be carried 
out it is wise to do so, and will most certainly 
benefit any moor to a tremendous extent by 
getting rid of many tough and ancient birds not 
worth their keep.—Richard Clapham in the 
Shooting Times. 
AERIAL SPECULATION. 
The American sportsman who proposes to 
shoot ducks from his aeroplane appears to be 
unnecessarily troubling himself by taking with 
him his 20-bore gun. In the current number of 
the Review of Reviews Mr. Stead suggests the 
better way. It is to drop bullets on the ducks 
instead. Incidentally, this simple plan has the 
additional advantage that it will abolish war¬ 
fare. It is pointed out that, “If he (the air¬ 
man) is 1,000 yards aloft, each bullet will have 
a velocity of 400 feet per second when it strikes 
the earth.” Further, it is said that “it will be 
of no avail firing at them (the aeroplanes), for 
the bullets fired up into the air will come down 
again on those who fired them in quite as 
deadly a shower as those discharged by the 
enemy.” 
One supposes that bullets or shot fired up 
into the air always do come down again. As 
was remarked by the poet who shot an arrow 
into the air, the arrow fell he knew not where. 
That usually happens with bullets or shot. 
Wherever bullets fired at an aeroplane might 
fall, they certainly would not fall on the firer. 
A bullet dropped from a given height, and • a 
similar bullet fired upward and falling from the 
same height would reach the ground with the 
same velocity in foot seconds’. The velocity 
would be that accelerating velocity which the 
text books call g. In vacuo it represents about 
32 feet for each second of fall. i. e., 16 feet in 
the first second, 164-32=48 feet in the next 
second, 484-32=80 feet in the third second, and 
so on. Against that there is the resistance of 
the air, which stops a rifle bullet with 2,600 f.s. 
velocity, to be allowed for. There is no simple 
law connecting the resistance of the air to a 
projectile with the velocity at which it is mov¬ 
ing, and, in addition to any question of velocity, 
the weight of the dropped bullet would need 
to be considered in determining the energy it 
would be able to expend in hitting the man, or 
the duck, beneath. The calculation of 400 f.s. 
indicates distinctly the advisability of providing 
troops with steel umbrellas.—County Gentleman. 
SALMON LEAPED INTO BOAT. 
A curious thing happened at Dunfallandry, 
Pitlochry, during the night a few days ago. 
The Tummel was in high flood and Stewart 
Fergusson’s oversman went down early in 
the morning to see to the safety of one of 
the boats, riding in the river at the end of a 
long pole and about fifteen feet from the bank. 
There had been a lot of rain during the night 
and the boat had about nine to ten inches of 
water in her, in the middle of which floated a 
fine, almost clean, salmon of about twenty 
pounds. It was still alive, though much ex¬ 
hausted, as the water had become quite deoxy- 
genized. It had leaped into the boat during 
the night. The sides of the boat are quite fif- 
teeen inches above the water line. The salmon 
soon revived and swam away after being put 
into some clear water.—London Globe.
