Boys experimenting with wireless 
telegraphy will be glad to know that 
one of the books recently added to the 
library is ‘‘ Principles of Wireless Tele- 
graphy,’’ by George W. Pierce, A. M., 
Ph. D., assistant Professor of Physies in 
Harvard University. This volume con- 
tains the non-mathmatical problems ofa 
course of lectures entitled ‘‘ Electric 
Waves and their Application to Wire- 
less Telegraphy.’’ He gives something 
of the history of the development of 
wireless telegraphy. The book is some- 
what technical but we trust that those 
seeking help along this line will re- 
ceive much aid from it. 
“‘The Last Leaf, Observations Dur- 
ing Seventy-five Years of Men .and 
Events in America and England,’’ by 
James Kendall Hosmer, L. L. D., is a 
volume of reminiscences that should ap- 
peal to a large class of readers. The 
author knew a large number of the 
great men of his day and he pictures 
each one in a few terse words or re- 
lates some anecdote which exemplifies 
the character under discussion. 
‘‘Masterpieces of the Masters of 
Fiction’? should have many readers. 
The author critically studies some forty 
great works of fiction. Those who are 
more or less familiar with these great 
novels will be glad to renew their ac- 
quaintance with their favorites through 
this interesting review. Others who 
have not read these masterpieces and 
have not the time to do so may learn 
much about them by reading this book, 
Anything from the pen of W. W. 
Jacobs is always welcome. ‘‘Short 
Cruises’? contains an eyen dozen short 
stories. They are all good. You ought 
to read ‘‘Her Uncle’’ and ‘‘A Love 
Knot.’’ Rider Haggard became fa- 
mous through his novels of South Afri- 
ean life. He acquired his knowledge 
of the life in South Africa when he 
was private secretary to Sir Henry 
Bulwer at Natal and later held the 
same position with Sir T. Shepstone, 
Commissioner ef the Transvaal. His 
stories are weird romances. ‘‘She’’ 
was one of the best known and most 
popular of these. It was written in 
1887. Later on he wrote a sequel to 
this story called ‘‘Ayesha.’’ This 
novel in which the characters of ‘‘She’’ 
reappear is in this week’s list of books. 
A complete list of recent additions to 
the library is given below. —R. T. G.
