Sas Engines and Launches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. By Francis 
K. Grain, 132 pages. Price. $1.25. 
Here is a pocket manual indispensable to every man 
rho uses a motor-boat. It deals in simple, untechnical 
w '“> th , e . running of the marine gas engine, and 
nth the difficulties that the marine gas engineer is likely 
o meet with. These engines are described, some pages 
re devoted to launches in general, with practical advice 
o the man who contemplates purchasing a power boat, 
he main feature of the book, however, is a clear descrip! 
ion ot the difficulties met with in running a gas engine 
nf U L Se * a ," d how t0 remed y them. In this discussion 
tl technicalities are avoided, and the author has boiled 
—T ast , amount , of practical knowledge into small 
pace and into every-day language. The amateur power

William Livingston Alden died in Buffalo, 
N. Y., Dec. 14, aged seventy-one years. 
A quarter of a century ago there were few 
names better known to outdoor people and juve¬ 
niles than that of W. L. Alden, but during the 
last twenty years he had lived abroad and de¬ 
voted much of his time to writing for English 
periodicals and newsp^^ers. 
Mr. Alden came to New York in the late 
sixties and became an editorial writer on The 
Citizen. Later on he was with the Times, the 
World and the Graphic. When the Graphic was 
discontinued he returned to the Times and for 
eleven years wrote humorous editorial para¬ 
graphs of so much merit that many of them 
were later on published in book form. He also 
wrote numerous stories for the magazines, among 
them “The Adventures of Jimmy Brown,” which 
became immensely popular with boys and girls. 
Among his books of that period were “The 
Cruise of the Canoe Club,” “The Canoe and the 
Flying Proa,” “The Cruise of the Ghost,” and 
others. 
When canoeing first became popular in the 
East Mr. Alden became an enthusiast in it, and 
{jot onl y designed several canoes, notably the 
Shadow, but introduced the Nautilus model—de¬ 
signed by Warrington Baden-Powell, canoeing 
editor of the London Field—to American waters 
and made numerous long cruises in the United 
States and Canada. Some of these were in com¬ 
pany with John Habberton and G. Livingston 
Morse. At that time he wrote of canoeing for 
papers and magazines, and as he was a member 
of the New York Canoe Club, it naturally fol¬ 
lowed that he was one of the charter members 
of the American Canoe Association, his member¬ 
ship number being 19. When the association was 
organized at Lake George in 1880 he was elected 
commodore, and was succeeded a year later by 
Judge Nicholas Longworth, of Cincinnati. Mr. 
Alden was made an honorary member several 
years ago. 
In 1885 President Cleveland appointed Mr 
Alden Consul General to Rome. He loved Italy 
and went there annually while living in Paris 
and London. King Humbert made him Cheva¬ 
lier of the Order of the Crown of Italy 
During his long residence in London Mr. 
Alden wrote fiction and fact, and his name was 
frequently seen in the magazines. He was the 
London literary correspondent of the New York 
Times at the time of his return to America last 
summer. 
Mrs. Alden, and their children, William L. 
Alden, Jr., and Mrs. E. C. Townsend, survive 
him. 
Thomas J. Hand, A. C. A., No. 2160, died at 
his home in Brooklyn, N. Y., on Jan. 9, in his 
eighty-fourth year.
