Boys, Book of Inventions.

Mr.. Roy Stannard Baker has told in sim
pie and Ineligible language the story of
the greatest inventions Of the last decade.
His book is primarily for boys, but it will
prove fascinating to any person, young or
DID, who has. as most people have, only a
hazy notion of the operation of wireless
biography, the measurement of earth
quakes, aerial navigation, the newest cleo
trio light. radium and other inventions and
discoveries of the last few years. This book
supplements a former volume by NJ. Baker
on similar subjects. He has chosen the in
ventiOns which may justly be considered
epoch king, and has given interesting
accounts of the inventors, the inception Of
their great ideas, their earliest experiments
and their latest achievements. II is the rO-
nance of science, and as such Will be
eagerly read by all boys who have a prac-
teal turn of mind. The book is profusely
illustrated with photographs, sketches and
diagrams. 1t is published by Mcclure, Phil
lips & Co., New York.

As time affords greater perspective of
the civil war, better histories of it may be
expected-histories freer from bias and Sec
tional animosity. a fairer estimate of its
influence on our national life may be looked
for. Neither is furnished in this true"
history of the civil war. by Guy Carleton
Lee, unless true" is construed to mean
what appears to be the truth TO any given
section of the community. The author is
inconsistent, for he says of his book, 1T
is not written from the standpoint Of
neutral. What is said of any section is
said as partisan of that section. The book
attempts no balancing, no hedging, no
CLOSING and ii seeks no golden mean,
etc So, as a history, the book does not
have the characteristics its title would in
dictate. AS human document however, 1t
is of very considerable value. and without
doubt many facts are so plainly and hon
estly and brutally stated that one gets an
insight into the civil war that the more
learned histories fail to reveal. The war
was, as the author says, a conflict OF pas
sion, and the passion animates the pages
of this recital. leaving on the reader the
responsibility of drawing proper conclu-
sions. The author occasionally attempts TO
be philosophical, but his opinions are, as a
rule, sadly one-sided. This is the most un-
truthful true history of anything that
has yet come to hand. j. b. Lippincott

describing the 'rustlers" last night in his
cabin with his wife expecting visit from
the lynchers which in intensity and
dramatic power it would be hard to

Military Policy of the United States.
Maj Gen. Emory Upton was one of the
most brilliant and distinguished officers of
the civil war. Graduated from West Point
in 1860, he became while almost a boy one
of the capable and accomplished soldiers
in the Union army, commanding success
sively a battery of artillery, a regiment of
infantry, brigade of infantry. a brigade
of artillery, and a division of cavalry. After
the close of the war he devised n new sys-
TEN of tactics and submitted to the War
Department an elaborate report embodying
the lessons of the civil war and the results
of military science throughout the world.
The report recommended important changes
in the organization of the army, some Of
the most important of which have since
been adopted. The report was filed i'm the
War Department, where 1t was overlooked,
and is now for the first time publishes
under the title of Military Policy of the
United States" 1t is a comprehensive re-
view OF the military policy of the govern
ment from its foundation. with critical
notes on the conduct of the different wars
in which it has engaged and the lessons
TO be drawn from them. The publication
of the work by the government at this time
is due to Secretary of War Root, who in
preface, speaks of it in the highest terms.
1t possesses distinct historical value.
