"The Railway Review" Chicago, has pub
lished a very Interesting and useful little
work, written by Frederick II. Smith, con-
sulting engineer snd chemist. 1t is trea.
tise on rocks, minerals and stocks. Mr..
Smith has in brief way conveyed to his
reader a great deal OF information about these
subjects. The better part of the work is that
devoted to the geological subjects. But the
treatment of them is not geological in tech
nical sense it is rather q book of informa.
| ton for the general reader concerning all
kinds of minerals and precious stones, where
found, their distinctive characters, their com
position, gravity, hardness, etc. But the
writer has not belittled the geological branch
for all that, and gives brief and readable
account of world building, fossils, prime min
erals, formations, etc. The volume is GER
tainly brief on several very interesting top
les that will find place.

ssries of Shskespeare's Plays, as edited by
Professor Rolfe. The number contains the
