Gas 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 
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, s 9 me 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 uses 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.

The Origin of the Sail. 
Continued from page 66G. 
Wellsted made important discoveries only 
fifty miles from the coast. Hadramant was then 
unexplored, and after much suffering from the 
heat, as well as danger from the bandits, he 
gained the marble city on a rock that was sur¬ 
rounded by water. “The dark verdure of fields 
of millet, sorghum, tobbacco, etc., extended as 
far as the eye could reach. Mingled with these 
we had the soft acacia and the stately but 
more sombre foliage of the date palm, while the 
creaking of numerous wheels with which the 
grounds were irrigated, and in the distance sev¬ 
eral rude plows drawn by oxen, the ruddy and 
lively appearance of the people, who now 
flocked toward us from all quarters, and the de¬ 
lightful and refreshing coolness of the morning 
air, combined to form a scene which he who 
gazes on the barren aspect of the coast could 
never anticipate.” Three hours’ travel among 
such surroundings sufficed to bring the caravan 
Uncle Lisha's Shop. 
Life in a Corner of Yankeeland. By Rowland E. Robin¬ 
son. Cloth. 187 pages. Price, $1.25. 
The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha 
Peggs bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman s 
exchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it, 
the hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh¬ 
borhood used to meet of evenings and dull outdoor days 
“to swap lies.”

Men I Have Fished With. 
Sketches of character and incident with rod and gun from 
childhood to manhood; from the killing of little fishes 
and birds to a buffalo hunt. By Fred Mather. Il¬ 
lustrated. Price, $2.00. 
It was a happy thought that prompted Mr. Fred Mather 
to write of his fishing companions. The chapters were 
received with a warm welcome at the beginning, and 
have been of sustained interest. The “Men I Have 
Fished With” was among the most popular series of 
papers ever presented to Forest and Stream readers.

to the ruins of an ancient city, which history 
has not described and where an inscription that 
could not be deciphered showed efforts of 
vandals to destroy it. '“The whole of the walls 
and towers, and some of the edifices within, are 
built of the same material—a compact grayish 
marble, hewn to the required shape with the ut¬ 
most nicety. The dimensions of the slabs at 
the base were from five to seven feet in length, 
two to three in height, and three to four in 
breadth. Nakab-el-Hadjar was the name of the 
city. One building had walls ‘fronted with a 
kind of freestone, each slab cut of the same size, 
and the whole so beautifully put together that’ 
he /failed “to insert the blade of a small pen¬ 
knife between them.” 
Burton’s pilgrimage in disguise to the holy 
cities, Palgrave’s travels in the great and un- 
known regions of the central Orient, all make a. 
history of exploration and adventure that is 
seldom surpassed in the annals of travel. No 
wonder the devout pilgrim in the sanctuary of 
the prophet exclaims: “O, Allah! heed our 
orayers in thy house; make it a protection to 
us from hell fire, and a refuge from eternal 
punishment! O! open the gates of thy mercy, 
and let us pass through them to the land of 
joy!” The majority of the faithful need to re¬ 
peat that orison as often as sunrise and sun¬ 
set illuminate the boundless heavens. 
Mahomet’s bad example is still followed by 
the warlike Bedouins, who rob caravans for per¬ 
sonal advantage, as well as in the interest of 
their own ‘peculiar institution.’ which they are 
pleased to call ‘religion.’ Burton found that 
out during his “daring and entirely successful 
pilgrimage of 1853- In Moslem disguise he
