THIEVES AT WORK.
Many Cases Reported to the Police De-
 partment.

That the city is infested with thieves and criminals is evidenced by the number of robberes and other crimes that are being reported to the police.
 Yesterday two other cases of pocketbook snatching were reported, the victims being Miss Alele Kohn, who resides with her uncle, B. Holzer in Seventh avenue, and Mrs. Richard F. Johnston, who was robbed near her home in Highland avenue.
 Anothe: game that is being worked is the plumbers racket, under which the thief appears at residence with a kit of tools, stating that he has been sent to do some work, and in that way gains admittance to the house, only to appropriate such articles of value as comes in his reach.
 It is believed that a number of this class of criminals have drifted into the city dur ing the past week in anticipation of a hoh- day harvest.

SCIENTIFIC BOOKS.

The ostensible pretext of DR.. Alfred H. Fison's
Recent Advances in Astronomy Herbert s.
Stone & Co) is desire to supplement the work
OF Proctor, Ball. Newcomb, Young and Miss
Clerke with a popular exposition Of the discov-
cries Of the last ten or fifteen years But that
idea has been inadequately realized. The book
is accurate, conservative and attractive in style
but hardly up to date, and points it is un-
fortunately reserved. In the matter Of spect-
roscopy, for instance. some knowledge Of Row
lands and Hale's work is betrayed, but Dr.
Fison is blissfully unconscious OF Henry Dra-
pers. W. ". Campbell's and the Harvard OBJ
servatory's services TO science. And though he
devotes a, special chapter to the Red Flames of
the Sun" he never mentions the dispute which
has arisen as TO the exact color of solar promi-
nences.
Mrs. Todd has already treated solar eclpses in
such satisfactory that there is hardly
room for another book on the subject Still the
little volume which G. F. Chambers has con-
tributcd TO the Appleton Library of Useful
Stories" is excellent substitute. and in Eng
land where perhaps Mrs. Todd is less known
than in America, no doubt Mr. Chambers's book
will win favor. II possesses features peculiar TO
itself however II discusses lunar ecpses to
a limited extent goes into ancient history rather
extensively. and supplies special information for

Of the late William Andrews, OF Cumberland

hshers). Public curiosity may be gratified by
an explanation of this term Mr Andrews who
was an amateur geoloesst and a man Of wide
reading was impressed many other men

there be remains Of tropical types Of animal and

To explain a number of these eccentricities of
Nature Mr.. Andrews conceived that in addf-
ton 10 the other movements which the earth is
known to have. il executes one that has not
hitherto been recognized. In a period of about
eighty-four million years. he imagined, the globe
turned topsy turvy and then came back again.

William ]. Baldwin in Ventilation and
Warming Ghe Van Nostrand Company, insists
that most of the estimates of the amount OF
fresh air needed in which human beings
occupy are too small. He thinks that three
thousand or four thousand cubic feet per hour
for each person is little enough, and says that in
the Sloane Maternity Hospital provision is made
for letting In eight thousand. This amount will
startle conservative people, especially II they
are invaids, but Mr.. Baldwin shows that II the
air is admitted TO the room near the ceiling one
need not fear draughts. In the volume IN
structions are given to the architect and en-
glneer as to how they may compute the boiler
power requisite for heating a house or building.

In Chemistry; Its Evolution and Achieve
ments" a duodecimo volume of 116 pages F. G.
Wiechmann has succeeded in presenting a rather
dry scientific topic in way calculated to inter
est the n-professional reader. The book is
unpret antious, but its preparation has involved
more than little research. 1t is historical in
the MAN. and it exhibits enough of the indus
trial medical and metalurgical aspects Of the
subject at the present time to bring the story
up to date An almost complete freedom from
technicalty is one Of the merits of the volume.
The absence of table of contents will impress
some readers defect. However, there is
good index and after having read the book one
can easily find almost anything that he has seen
therein. William R. Jenkins publishes it.

the title Power Transmitted by Electricity"
This is not a happy designation. but the book is
a useful one in spite of that unimportant detail
The major part Of it Is devoted to describing the
electric motor, both in stationary plants and on
streetcars. Some attention is given to the ar
rangement of central stations for light and

Of overhead and conduit trolley systems. Mr..
Atkinson represents American practice. and his

The life processes Of vegetation require a
proper amount Of moisture; not too much and
not too little. Where the supply is scant. owing
to a deficient rainfall it may be supplemented
with the aid of canals and bitches drawing
water from neighboring streams. Where the
moisture is in excess the soil should be relieved
by artificial conduits. Both classes Of treatment
are discussed in Irrigation and Drainage OF
