pictured, with directions for their use.

A Treatise on the Construction and Use of Milling Machines Made by Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Company. Paper. Illustrated. Indexed. Pages 188. Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Co., Providence, R. I., Publishers. Price, 50 cents.

AS THE TITLE INDICATES, this book is devoted entirely to the milling machines made by this company. The fact that the book is written by the manufacturers is a guarantee of its absolute accuracy; and to anyone engaged in running one of these machines, which will be found in nearly every well-equipped machine shop, the book is invaluable, explaining clearly and fully, with diagrams, their principles and operation.

The book is written especially for those not familiar with the machines, with the object of aiding in having the machines well understood, properly cared for, and profitably operated. Going beyond this, the book contains much of interest and instruction to those who are well versed in both the theory and the practice of milling. Both the universal and the plain milling machines are taken up.

Among the many important operations described, may be mentioned the cutting of bevel gears, in the universal milling machine, also the cutting of spirals, as particularly interesting.

whose years of residence and travel in Japan have made them very familiar with the country and the people. The book contains fifty articles, grouped under the following headings: "The Country and Race," "History and Religion," "Places and Monuments," "Manners and Customs," "Arts and Crafts." In these divisions are found chapters on Japanese gardens, architecture, painting, pottery, porcelain, carving, lacquer, etc.

The article devoted to New Japan is of special value at the present time as it gives an insight into existing conditions and the spirit that animates the little island nation, whose fighting qualities have astonished the world.

Russia as Seen by Great Authors. Edited by Esther Singleton. Dodd, Mead & Company, New York. Price, $1.50.

THIS is a companion book to "Japan as Seen by Great Authors," but in our opinion is not so valuable a work. The book is not well balanced, several subjects of no special moment receiving too much space, and thus necessitating the curtailing of subjects which deserve a more extended treatment. One-third of the volume is occupied by descriptive articles on particular places, cities, the Volga basin, the Caucasus, the Trans-Siberian Railway, etc., followed by a number of chapters on the manners and customs of the people. Thirty pages are devoted to the discussion of the architecture, sculpture, painting, music, and literature of Russia; and the concluding chapter contains some statistics, and general encyclopedic and geographical information. The book is well illustrated with photographs. Many of the chapters are from the pens of such well known writers as Prince Kropotkin, Harry de Windt, Théophile Gauthier, and W. R. Morfill.
