yielded to their opinion far as TO advocate
the imposition of a corporation excise tax. Mr
Cummins's statement in the Senate on Wednes
day that in his opinion the deficit for 1901
under the Senate bill, excluding the excise tax
would be $175.0000O0. is apparently based on
some miscaIculatiOn. But the Treasurys returns
of ordinary income and expenditure for the year
Just ended indicate clearly that the Aldrich bill
without some aid from special taXes-cannot
close the gap between income and outlay IN
19O9-1O. 1t would be only little more likely
10 do it in any one of the four years following.

''Waylad by Wireless,' by Edwin Balm
 CT. Small, Maynard & Co)
 We get it straight from the shoulder that "Waylaid by Wireless" is not only MT. Balmer's first book, but it contains, so to say, a suspicion, warning, sporting proposition and a trans-Atlan- tic pursuit.
 Notwithstanding, yea, nevertheless, we must all do the best we can in the read ing of this volume, filled, as the threat is made, with thrilling incidents. The incidents are there and some thrilling, more or less, but they are like little is- lands in the ocean-the thrilling portions are surrounded by mucn dull matter.
 It Is as plain as can be, the plot of the story-that is, the outline after one has read two chapters in the book. But plain as 1t was and is the very wooden headed, one-candlepower hero was never awake, never far from his sleeping sick ness at the switch.
 MT. Balmer is the author of the fa- nous wireless scene in the play Via Wireless !"
 There are three characters in the book who talk and talk, everlastingly, which may do for a play but 1t awful, Mabel in novel of the character of Way laid by Wireless wherein we wish to be jumping about the room, looking under beds and so on to keep up with the thrill.
 The plot deals with the aforesaid heavy young chap, who goes to England for a summers vacation. On the ship cross ing the ocean he meets the other two important characters. One Dunneston, the "delghtfully foreboding Enslishman; the other Ethel Varris, the clever Amer ican girl. Preston, the hero before men, tioned, has made up his mind or what he evidently used in its place, that he would not visit on this trip any cathedral towns" of England. He discovers that Ethel and mamma are going to visit the cathedral towns, so he pursues them from town to town. accompanied by the de lis.l,tfully foreboding" Englishman.

a small island in the Pacific ocean. The author blends what is now understood to be adventure, treachery and much love.
 The treasure is hidden mysteriously and is strangely searched for and then can you not guess? Certainly! For love and fortune come into their own
 Instructions for finding the treasure are written on a card and the card is torn into four parts. Each quarter is sent to one of the four persons entitled to receive the treasure, all of whom must meet and join their cards before the in- structions can be deeiphered and fol- lowed.

 lacking for bullfrogs has become a popular and profitable sport in Louis jana. Like the deer, the frog finds hin,- self very much interested in brilliant lights, and his curiosity results in his undoing. AS soon as the light shines In his eyes, he jumps aboard the nearest lily-pad and tries to stare 1t out of countenance, and. while he Is doing this, it is an easy matter to lasso him or hit him on the head with a club. An ordi- narily active frog hunter, with dark lantern and a blackjack or length of clothesline, can bag with ease over 100 portions of frogs legs in the course of an evenings hunt. It is not considered sportsmanlike to chase frogs with dogs in Louisiana, and the new method is hailed with delight by devotees of this particular pursuit.

Self-Propelled Vehicles" by James E. Romans. CTheodore Audel 6 Col l This volume is a practical treatise on 1 the theory. construction, operation, care and management of all forms of automo- l piles. The book contains upwards of ! oOO illustrations and diagrams, giving the 1 essential details of construction and many 1 important points of the successful oper- l ation of the various types of motor car riages, driven by steam, gasoline and l electricity
 The motor vehicle Is a singularly com plex machine. Its construction and oper- alton involve the consideration of an ex- l tensive range of facts in several widely l separated departments of mechanical knowledge The study of it's construc- ton and operation Is a liberal education ! in itself. It claims broad territory l much broader than the average man who attempts to operate a machine, judging l by results, seems to possess.
 Clear explanations of the principles gov
 erning the design and construction of l the motor car and the most conspicuous situations in Its operations are given in this volume
 To the vast realm of motordom this
 volume essays to discharge the function | of a general introduction; a convenient
 guide book to the intricacies that must 1 inevitably be encountered; summary
 of the facts and principles that it Is | necessary to understand. As far as pos
 sible the presentation of subjects has l been determined by consideration of
 the needs of the man behind the wheel
 The book contains eos pages and that l portion on the gasoline engine cannot
 fail to prove valuable to any one in terested in explosive motors, which are coming to the front as the one of the readiest and most convenient sources of 1 power.
 This reviewer thinking that a real good
 book on the subject of the care, opera
 tion and so forth of motor cars would. ! for obvious reasons, be interesting to 1 those owners and would-be owners of
 motor cars who need or may not need
 instruction, asked a prominent trade mo-
 tor-car journal to recommend such a volume for presentation to readers of this | paper "Self-Propelled Vehicles is the
