Gas Engines and Launches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. 
K. Grain. 123 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, 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 catises 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.

Experience With Dogs. 
THE intelligence of a dog is identical in quality 
with that of a human being. Were the quantity 
of intelligence present in the heads of our canine 
friends, and vocal organs supplied to assist in- 
telligence, we could take our pets into the field 
and discuss the events of the chase with the same 
satisfaction we can now with our human brother. 
I have made a companion of a dog for the past 
twelve years, and my experience teaches me that 
the same influences which make a child good or 
bad, dull or bright, also control a dog. My first 
dog was an English setter, the scrub of a litter, 
and he turned out to be the handsomest and most 
intelligent of the lot. My next was a pointer, se- 
lected for his color from a litter of twelve, and 
he proved to be the prize dog of the family. My 
next friend was an Irish setter, Gyp, the last 
choice of a litter of eight, and she grew up the 
brightest of the octet. My next was a spaniel of 
uncertain parentage, selected from a litter be- 
cause he had a distinguishing mark which would 
plainly describe him in case he strayed away, 
and he took advantage of his bringing up and 
grew to be a beauty and the envy of my fellow- 
sportsmen. My next is my present companion, 
a cross between a spaniel from Burgess’ stock 
and a half-bred Irish setter bitch, and he, now 
two years old, surpasses all of his brothers and 
sisters in beauty and courage. Such a uniform 
experience compels me to conclude that my dogs 
have been developed, and that my experience will 
be the experience of others, using the same or 
similar methods in raising and educating them. 
All the dogs I have owned I secured when 
they were very young. While they were growing 
I gave them all they could eat, offering them food 
several times a day. Milk, vegetables, meat, 
bread, oat and cornbread, and porridge. I never 
kept them on the chain, but let them romp to 
their hearts’ content. Plenty of food and -plenty 
of exercise gave them form and strength, good 
constitutions and brave hearts. Their education 
commenced when they were two or three months 
old and continued until they came to dog’s es- 
tate. First they were taught to charge. Next 
to retrieve (under the whip), then to find. Next 
to toho, etc. 
The great avenue to succes in teaching a dog 
well, is to teach one thing at a time. And as soon 
as the dog is known to understand an order, to 
always insist upon obedience at whatever cost 
of time and patience to the teacher. When my 
dogs comprehended the idea I have intended to 
convey to them, I have accustomed them to lis- 
ten for my commands by giving them in an ordi- 
nary tone of voice, until at length I could carry
