The Universal Encyclopedia

8 Volumes-4,100 Pages-2,000 Pictures

THIS is one of the most compact; concise and clear encyclopedias ever published. It gives in eight volumes all the essential facts contained in the ponderous forty-volume encyclopedias. It is the ideal reference work for busy people, for students, and for all those who desire a comprehensive and accurate encyclopedia for a small outlay. We offer you a bargain-placing this highclass encyclopedia within the reach of everyone. Read this advertisement carefully and send the coupon at once.

A Library Condensed Into Eight Books

The New Universal Encyclopedia is revised up to date, giving the most accurate information on all subjects. The set is in eight volumes, bound in red library cloth, stamped in gold-a handsome, well-made set of books, worthy of a place in every home. There are 4,100 double column pages, with 2,000 text illustrations, beside a complete series of maps in colors, covering the entire world. It treats of every subject of general interest-from politics to polar exploration, from medicine to mechanics. It has been compiled by editors of the highest standing, and is guaranteed to be authoritative from A to Z. Compare it with reference works costing four times the price of this one-and prove this statement for yourself.

The Books and Magazine at a Bargain

We have secured control of a limited number of sets at less than the actual cost of printing, and so long as these sets last, we will offer them in connection with a year's subscription for the Technical World at a price so low that it will make this the most extraordinary book bargain of a decade. The Universal Encyclopedia sells for $16.00 a set; the Technical World is $1.00 a year;, but we cut the price of both combined to the exceptionally low price given below.

SEND US THE COUPON

from this advertisement, properly filled out (without any money), and we will send you a set of the New Universal Encyclopedia, express prepaid, for seven days' examination-to be returned if not satisfactory. At the same time we will enter your name for a year's subscription for the Technical World. If you decide to accept the books send us 50 cents in seven days and $1 a month thereafter for nine months, paying for both the books and the Technical World. This offer saves you $9.50 and gives you this Encyclopedia and the Technical World for a little more than half the price of the books alone. Better take advantage of this at once, as this offer may not be repeated.

Cyclopedia of Modern Shop Practice. A

Practical Manual of the Best Modern American Methods in all Lines of Shop Work and Allied Branches of Mechanical Industry. Four Volumes; 3,000 pages, 7 by 10 inches. Illustrated with over 2,500 half-tones and explanatory diagrams. Indexed. Published by the American Technical Society, Chicago, Ill.

THERE can be no such thing as "dry rot" for any workman fortunate enough to own this set of books. Be he foreman, journeyman mechanic, or apprentice, he will find in it a key to progress and advancement. The CYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN SHOP PRACTICE was conceived in the spirit of helpfulness, and has been prepared throughout with a view to meeting the daily needs of the workingman as they arise under the conditions of actual practice. And most admirably it fulfills its mission. To most men, a cyclopedia looks formidable; but to master this one, it will be found, is well within the power of the average wage-earner, and does not require the elaborate formulæ of the mathematician or the costly training of the technical school. If knotty problems arise or obscurities are found, the Consulting Privilege-which is given free for one year to each purchaser-will instantly bring the assistance of experts to clear away all difficulties.

This invaluable work stands head and shoulders above every other on Shop Practice which has yet appeared, not only in its breadth and variety of scope, convenience of arrangement, and adequacy of treatment of each topic, but also in its thorough adaptation to meeting the wants and solving the problems that are continually arising in actual practice in the shop. It is. moreover, thoroughly up-to

BOOKS

date, representing the latest and best of American methods, and being based on the most careful study, by acknowledged authorities, of actual shop needs and conditions. To read it, means to qualify for the very highest kind of service. It means becoming intimately acquainted with the best in American practice; it means mastering those methods which have been the basis of America's material success in competition with other nations, and which have made the American workingman the most intelligent, the most efficient, and the best-paid workingman in the world. The appearance of such a work from the press is in itself the rendering of a public service worthy of generous support; and we predict for the CYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN SHOP PRACTICE, as its intrinsic merits become known, an increasing popularity, not only among workmen who are ambitious to make the best of their opportunities, but also among employers who take any appreciative interest in the welfare of their employees.

The field covered by the work is not confined, however, within the walls of the "shop," so called, but takes in almost every branch connected directly or indirectly with machine shop practice, such as the designing of machinery, forging, pattern-making, foundry work, tool-making, sheet-metal work, tinsmithing, boiler work, making of shop drawings, etc. The reader is put abreast of the very latest progress by such chapters as those on the Turbine, Gas and Oil Engines, Automobiles, Elevators, Electric Wiring and Machinery, etc.

LITERATURE-(Concluded)

The work has the unusual merit of being entirely original, not copied after any other. It is a product, not of one man, but of many men, each of long experience and recognized authority in his special line. It is concise, yet ample in the space devoted to each topic to insure adequate treatment; free from heavy technicalities and suited to the common understanding, yet broad enough to meet every probable need in the way of accurate and reliable instruction. It is conveniently arranged and indexed so as to make its information readily available; and abounds in minor features of special value, such as hints on improved methods of doing work, and "short cuts" in the accomplishment of all kinds of tasks. It is profusely illustrated with original photographs and drawings, special care having being taken to make the illustrations more than usually instructive in connection with the text. It is handsomely and substantially bound in red, in four 34morocco volumes of library size, giltstamped and with marbled edges. It is a most valuable addition to the bookshelf in any shop or home, and is a worthy companion to the other standard reference works published by the American Technical Society, which are recognized authorities along engineering and mechanical lines.

Free Outing to Employees

FOREMOST among the large manufacturing companies who are making an especial feature of welfare work among their employees, is the Lunkenheimer Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. Recently these manufacturers of brass and iron specialties and engineering appliances gave their annual picnic to employees and their families at a little resort about thirty miles from Cincinnati. Amusements, refreshments, transportation, and two bands of music were furnished free by the company, and they also secured the services of a troupe of professional entertainers. The employees turned out 2,500 strong, and the heartiness with which they entered into the spirit of the occasion gave ample proof of their appreciation of the company's efforts to show them a royal good time.

A Western mule's tail was blown off by a recent blizzard. What became of the blizzard is not stated, but it is safe to presume that it had the wind kicked out of it.
