Metal Corrosion and Protection
The compilation of this list was carried out in response to a local
demand for information on electrolytic corrosion of underground
structures due to stray electric currents, particularly from the viewpoint
of its effect on gas and water lines. It has seemed advisable to
add references on corrosion in general and to protective and preventive
measures, that the list may be of more general use. It covers
practically all the useful material in this Library up to November I,
1906.
In the titles of books and articles uniformity in spelling has not
been attempted, the spelling of the original having been followed in
each case.
The following abbreviations have been used:

How to Use the Technology Catalogue
The card catalogue of the Technology Department includes all
books in the Library on natural science and useful arts. It comprises
three files, as follows:
1. Author catalogue arranged alphabetically, containing names
of all authors and societies; also titles of all periodicals, of anonymous
works and of important sets or scries of works.
2. Subject catalogue based on the Dewey decimal system.
This system arranges all branches of natural science and useful arts
according to the following scheme of classification:
500 Natural science
510 Mathematics
520 Astronomy
530 Physics
540 Chemistry
550 Geology
560 Paleontology
570 Biology. Natural history
580 Botany
590 Zoology
600 Useful arts
610 Medicine
620 Engineering
620.1 Strength of materials
620.2 Civil engineering
621 Mechanical engineering
621.3 Electrical engineering
622 Mining engineering
623 Military and naval engineering
624 Bridges and roofs
625 Railroad and road engineering
626 Canal engineering
627 Hydraulic engineering
628 Municipal and sanitary engineering
629.1 Motor carriages
630 Agriculture
640 Domestic economy
650 Commerce. Business
660 Chemical technology
669 Metallurgy
670 Manufactures
680 Mechanic trades
690 Building

By this scheme the books on the shelves and the cards in the subject
catalogue are arranged in simple numerical order, all class numbers
being decimals. Since each subject has a definite number, it follows
that all books on any subject must stand together. The above
table shows the order in which subjects follow one another. Thus 540
(Chemistry) follows 530 (Physics) and precedes 550 (Geology). The
arrangement of the cards corresponds to the actual arrangement of the
books on the shelves. In the diagram of the Technology reading room
shown on the opposite page the location of the various classes is indicated
by their corresponding numbers. Some of the cards in the subject
catalogue are numbered in red. This is merely an aid in filing the
cards. To secure any book copy the entire call number printed in
black type; not the red number. In the case of a series or a periodical
be sure to specify which volume is wanted. The letter r or b before
the call number indicates that the book is for reference use only and is
not to be taken from the Library; q indicates that it is quarto size
or larger.
3. Index to Subject catalogue, arranged alphabetically. To
find all the works on a given subject consult this index under the name
of the subject. The number at the right of the card gives the class
number under which the works desired may be found in the subject
catalogue. Example: If interested in Metallurgy look for this word
in the index and you will find "Metallurgy 669." By consulting the
subject catalogue under 669 you will find all the books on general
metallurgy, followed by those on iron and steel, gold, silver, copper, etc.

Floods and Flood Protection
This list on floods has been compiled at the suggestion of the
Flood Commission of the Chamber of Commerce of Pittsburgh, to form
a guide to the printed matter available on the subject. It covers
practically all the useful material in this Library at the present time.
In its compilation the selection has been restricted closely to the subject
indicated by the title. It docs not include articles on dams, reservoir
construction, river hydraulics, river improvements for purposes of
navigation, land reclamation or irrigation, except when specific reference
is made to flood abatement.
No attempt has been made to spell titles uniformly, but the spelling
of the original has been followed in each case.
The following abbreviations have been used:
diag. diagrams.
dr. drawings.
ed. edition.
ill. illustrations.

Relation of the southern Appalachian mountains to inland water

In connection with the agricultural appropriation bill, on March 4. 1907. Congress
authorised the secretary of agriculture 10 examine and report on the natural condition of
watersheds in the southern Appalachian and the White mountains. Because of its identification
with studies of stream flow and its facilities for stream measurement, arrangement
was made with the United States geological survey for a study of the water resources
of the southern Appalachian mountains. This report is the result.
Considers rivers which drain into the Atlantic and rivers which drain into the Ohio.
"In conclusion, the figures given in this report bear out the statement.. .that the
proper improvement of many rivers may be practically and thoroughly accomplished only
by the use of storage reservoirs and the retention of the forest cover...The second important
point brought out...is that conservation of stream flow depends upon the condition
of the drainage area and that to insure the perpetuation of the proper conditions it
is necessary 10 preserve the forests and keep the land surfaces intact."

Author has had an acquaintance of ai years with the Mississippi and its problems
and has been for 15 years directly connected, officially and otherwise, with levee work
on the lower river.
Arguments relative 10 increasing floods, cause and remedy, considering the river
from Cairo lo the Gulf. Elevation of great floods is increased not by reason of greater
volume but by (i> construction of levees on lines not calculated to maintain a constant
cross-section of the river; (?) changing of river-bed and moving back of levees around
bends, thus increasing distance to ocean-level antl decreasing slope; (3) formation of
accretions on bottom and sides of channel at bends, without corresponding abrasion on
concave side.
Considers levees absolutely necessary, but construction must be on more intelligent
lines and aided by other equally important work, reservoirs, etc.

also ihe Waterstaal idea of insisting on creation and maintenance of a distinct

Sodium Nitrate Industry of Chile
In the Monthly Bulletin for November 1903, v.8, p.349, a very brief
list was published, having the same title as the present one. This had
been prepared hurriedly with no attempt at completeness. Contrary
to expectation, the list has been so often requested, that it was thought
advisable to make a systematic attempt to find the greater part of the
very scattered references available on this subject. The following list
is the result. It contains all the old articles and such others as have
been found, and represents the material available in this Library on
December I, 1907.
In the titles of books and articles uniformity in spelling has not
been attempted, the spelling of the original having been followed in
each .case.
The following abbreviations have been used:
Diag. diagrams.
Dr. drawings.
Ed. edition.
III. illustrations. '
no. number.
p. page.
pt. part.
v. volume.
w. words.
The main work of compilation and proof revision has been done
by Mr E. H. McClelland, of the Technology department.

Refuse and Garbage Disposal
The purpose of this bibliography is to render more accessible
the scattered literature on one of the most important of presentday
municipal problems—the sanitary disposal of garbage.
The articles included deal only with disposal of domestic refuse
and do not consider trade waste and street sweepings. The list
has been prepared primarily for use at this Library and includes
all important papers to be found here up to January i, 1909.
The Library also has the United States and principal foreign
patents and receives regularly several journals in which special
departments are devoted to notes on refuse and garbage disposal.
Titles of articles have been copied exactly, which will account
for any lack of uniformity in spelling.
The following abbreviations have been used:
diag. diagrams. p. page or pages.
dr. drawings. pi. plate.
ed. edition. pt. part.
ill. illustrations. v. volume.
no. number. w. words.
The list has been compiled by Mr Walter C. Holmes of the

Metal Corrosion and Protection
This list appears in response to a persistent demand for the list on
this subject reprinted from the Monthly Bulletin of December 1906.
As the edition is now exhausted and as the technical press during the
past two years has given much attention to corrosion, galvanizing, etc.,
it seemed advisable to bring the list up to date. The revision was
undertaken by Mr Walter C. Holmes of the Technology department
and an effort has been made to include everything of value up to July I,
1909.
The list is intended primarily for use at this Library and all material
listed may be found here.
In the titles of books and articles uniformity in spelling has not
been attempted, the spelling of the original having been followed in
each case.
The following abbreviations have been used:
Diag. diagrams. no. number.

mainly to practical domestic applications of electricity, and no attention
has been given to electric welding, electric furnaces or the theory
of thermo-electricity. The list includes articles up to December I, 1909.

Introduction
Several former bibliographies issued by this Library have dealt
with various problems of municipal and sanitary engineering, such as
"Smoke prevention," "Refuse and garbage disposal," "Floods and flood
protection'' and "Metal corrosion and protection" (including electrolytic
corrosion of gas and water pipes).
The following list covers a subject of considerable present importance
throughout the country, and of especial interest* to municipalities
in Pennsylvania. With the exception of patents it contains
all useful literature in this Library on the disposal of sewage from
water-carriage systems, except disposal by dilution only, that is
direct discharge into streams or the sea without preliminary treatment.
It does not include sewage analysis, stream pollution or design of
sewers and sewerage systems. Articles arc classified according to the
most prominent features of the systems described, and arc entered
under the author's name, with the single exception that the numerous
reports issued by the Massachusetts state board of health have been
entered under that heading instead of under names of the individual
authors and investigators. The list, which has been compiled by Mr
W. C. Holmes of the Technology Department, is complete up to November
i, 1910. Special attention has been given to explanatory notes.
A further source of information on devices for sewage purification
will be found in the extensive patent collection of the Technology
Department.
In the titles of books and articles uniformity in spelling has not
been attempted, the spelling of the original having been followed in
each case.

Conclusions
"(1) Any marked climatic changes that may have taken place are of wide extent
and not local, arc appreciable only when measured in geologic periods, and evidence is
strong that ihe culling away of Ihe forests has had nothing to do with the creating or
the augmenting of droughts in any pari of the world.
(a) Precipitation controls forestation. but foresiation has little or no effect spam
precipitation.
(3) Any local modification of temperature and humidity caused by ihe presence
or absence of forest covering, the building of villages and cities, etc.. could not extend
upward more than a few hundred feet, and in this stratum of air saturation rarely
occurs, even during rainfall, whereas precipitation is the result of conditions that exist
at such altitudes as not to be controlled or affected by the small thermal irregularities
of the surface air.
(4) During the period of accurate observations, the amount of precipitation has
not increased or decreased to an extent worthy of consideration.
(5) Floods are caused by excessive precipitation, and the source of the precipitation
over the central and eastern portions of the United Slates is the vapor borne by the
•arm southerly winds from the Gulf of Mexico and the adjacent ocean into the interior
of the country, but little from the Pacific Ocean crossing the Rocky mountains.

First district extends from Cairo to the foot of Island 40, a distance of about 220
miles. Second district extends from the foot of Island 40 to the mouth of White river,
a distance of about 175 miles.
Describes in detail contraction works and bank revetment and arrives at the following
conclusions: "That the banks of the river can be successfully revetted; that side
chutes can be successfully closed and that the river can be otherwise contracted where
necessary: lhat these works both of revetment and contraction will be expensive: that
an efficient and permanent regulation is not possible except by bank revetment, but that
contraction will also be necessary in places: lhat.,.In general the full results of work of
either class will not be shown for several seasons; that the permanency of location will
be more easily obtained the greater the curvature of the bends and the more regular the
curvature; lhat in systematic regulation the work should start at the head of a reach
and should proceed regularly downstream and that in general the complete regulation of
the river will be a work of vast magnitude that would at best extend over a long series
of yeara."

in the present report, as has been the case also in previous reports of engineers and committees,
extending over almost balf a century. Former reports have disagreed as to
location and height of proposed dike. Present committee looks with disfavor on the

Scheme combining flood prevention and land fertilisation by basin irrigation. Includes
Sacramento. San Joaquin. Tulare and Kern valleys, and the bordering foot-hills.
Proposes dividing up entire alluvial area of ihe valleys into basins (10 to ao miles long
and t to 3 miles wide) by means of dikes parallel to the general land contours. During
high water these basins arc to be filled to a depth of several feet, thus affording a large
storage capacity, securing irrigation and deposition of silt. Drainage is to be effected
by channels paralleling the river on cither side. Channel openings to be controlled by
gates, more complete water distribution secured by movable dams, and inflow of mining
waste prevented by debris barriers al intervals along the mountain streams.
"Flood capacity of the river and escape channels would be somewhat more than
100.000 eu. ft. per sec. more than was ever required in the valley...It will take a
number of years to complete the scheme and may require $75,000,000,"

Library News and Notices
Mr Robert Haven Schauffler visited the Mount Washington
Branch several times in December. He is gathering
material for a series of articles on picturesque America and has
decided to begin with Pittsburgh. To show his appreciation
of the work of the Branch he wrote and dedicated to it the
following poem, inspired by the view of the city from the hill
at night when the mills on the river bank below are ablaze with
light and the blast-furnaces are in their glory:
To a Pittsburgh Library
From your smoky river-height
Radiate both warmth and light:
Warmth of understanding hearts,
Light of learning and the arts:
Beckoning the 'scum of earth*
To a day of second birth.
As the furnace-flare below
Glorifies the murky flow
Of Monongahela's stream,
So you light the shadowed faces
Of these folk of sadder races,
Luring them to learn and dream.

4 CARNFGIE LIBRARY OF PITTSBURGH
A Polish meeting was held at the South Side Branch on
December 8, attended by nearly two hundred people. Father
Labujewski gave a talk on Polish literature, poems were recited
and four folk tales were told. This part of the program
was given in the basement. Later the audience came upstairs
for the second part, which consisted of the singing of Polish
songs by a girls' chorus. For the closing of the entertainment
everyone joined in singing the Polish national hymn and
America.
An engraving in mezzotint by Henry Shaw, a portrait of
an unknown lady by an unknown artist, is hung in the Reference
Room at the present time. The original painting was at
one time iu the possession of Ma'ry, queen of Scots, and is now
in the National Gallery, London. The Library is indebted to
Mr E. D. Balken for lending this engraving.
Ten new stereograph tours have been added to the collection
in the Reference Department of the Central Library.
Stereoscopes are provided for use with the pictures, which may
be consulted in the Reference Room or borrowed from there
for home use. The complete list is as follows:
New York and Niagara Mexico Italy
Chicago and Central West Canada Greece
Washington and the South England and Wales Palestine
Pittsburgh Scotland and Ireland Egypt
Yellowstone Park Spain Vienna to the Orient
Colorado, Arizona and the France India
Pacific Coast Belgium and Holland China
California Norway Japan

The bibliography of "Floods and flood protection" and the
supplement thereto, compiled by the Technology Department
and published respectively in the Monthly Bulletins of July
1908 and October 1911. have been re-arranged and consolidated
by the Department for inclusion in the report of the
Pittsburgh Flood Commission, which has been under prcpara-

tion for some time. The Department has just supplied the
Commission with a list of technical libraries and societies which
would be interested in receiving a copy of this valuable report.
The Library has just received from the Carnegie Steel
Company seven handsomely framed pictures of its plants in
this vicinity, blast-furnaces, converters, rail mills, etc. There
is a i>2X4>£ ft. panoramic view of the Homestead works,
while the others are 2 x 2/2. These pictures may be seen in
the Technology Department.

Reviews of Recent Books
Memoirs of Theodore Thomas
By Mrs Rose Fay Thomas
"Mrs. Thomas's volume.. .could only have been written by one
who shared Theodore Thomas's home and family relationship and was
thus cognizant of his inner nature. So far as his career is concerned, it
adds little that was not already known. Its supreme value consists in
its presentation of the man himself; and this sheds a clear light upon
his professional achievements and the determined and genuinely heroic
manner in which he compelled success in the face of apparently insurmountable
obstacles and most depressing discouragements which would
have appalled anyone of less undaunted resolution and invincible purpose.
It clearly shows that he set his standard high, and never allowed
any opposition or influence to divert him from the course he marked
out when he first entered upon the responsible and laborious task of
conducting. Ignorant criticism, popular prejudice, professional jealousies,
the rancor of those to whom he would not truckle, financial
losses, all were faced and overcome by his indefatigable energy, his
sound convictions, his rugged honesty, his knowledge that he was right.
and his confidence that the public sooner or later would acknowledge
his appeal.
Mrs. Thomas has done her work well. She has effaced herself as
far as was possible, and from her intimate knowledge and natural sympathy,
as well as by numerous extracts from his notes, diaries, and
private letters, has given us a most interesting sketch of Theodore
Thomas the man, as he was in his home, among his friends, and in his

6 CARNEGIE LIBRARY OF PITTSBURGH
workroom. We learn of his favorite pursuits, the books he re
passionate love of nature, his lofty characteristics on the human side, as
well as the details of his orchestral administration, his relations to his
musicians, the exacting study and scrupulous care he expended in
preparation, and the finished performance of his duties at the conductor's
desk which never suggested the arduous preliminary labor which
led up to it.
The orchestra which he organized and held together through so
many years of trouble and vicissitudes still remains and conserves his
memory, and still retains the high reputation it made under his leadership,
though another hand wields the baton. Theodore Thomas lived
long enough to enjoy the fruits of his labor, and to see his longcherished
dream of a permanent orchestra in it* own home become a
reality. All the world knows and honors him as a musician and conductor.
Mrs. Thomas's loving tribute will still further endear his memory
by giving those who only knew him as a master of music a clearer
view of his noble qualities of heart and soul." Dial. ityu.

The Musical Amateur
By Robert Haven Schauifler
"Mr. Schauffler's volume is written in the old-fashioned, rambling
essay >tyle which one does not often come across these days, personal
reminiscences and confessions being mixed with anecdotes and naive
moral reflections...
Throughout his book. Mr. Schaufflcr pleads the cause of musical
enthusiasm. He stands up particularly for chamber music, giving some
striking examples of the almost fanatic devotion it often begets...
The best of (his chapters] is entitled The Creative Listener, in
which he demonstrates that in the making of music an appreciative
listener is quite as important as the performer.. .Theodore Thomas
once remarked that few people have any idea how discriminating
listeners react on the performers. *A stupid audience kills the orchestra
dead in five minutes, as water kills fire, whereas an intelligent and
responsive audience will stimulate the musicians at once to their best
efforts.' The author discourses interestingly of two kinds of listeners,
the creative and the destructive, offering valuable hints as to how the
one kind may be multiplied, the other made harmless." Xatioit, 1911.

Touring in 1600
By E. S. Bates
"Few who have not looked into the subject can quite imagine the
difficulties of travel in the sixteenth century. The fact that seeing
foreign lands was accounted an essential part of a young man's cduca-

REVIEWS OF RECENT BOOKS—JANUARY 1912 7
lion and the remarkable acquaintance of Elizabethan writers with general
European tendencies have blinded later generations to the obstacles..
.
The now simple passage from Calais to Dover, for instance, sonictimes
required weeks. 'In 1610 two ambassadors waited at Calais fourteen
days before they could make a start.. .one gentleman, after a most
unhappy night, found himself at Nieuport next morning and had to wait
three days before another try could be made."
Mr. Bates gives a brief description of a few of the travellers upon
whose diaries or notes he has drawn. One was Fynes Moryson, who,
starting in 1591 at the age of twenty-five, toured through Germany, the
Low Countries. Denmark. Poland. Austria, Switzerland, and Italy.
Upon his return after four years, he at once joined his brother who was
setting out for Jerusalem and who died in Fynes's arms at Aleppo
"while the Turks stood round, jeering and thieving'...
Another of the travellers was Pietro della Valle, of Naples and
Rome, who was set wandering when, after a twelve years' courtship.
his lady was given to some one else. Sped by masses and provided with
staff and scrip, he vowed he would visit the Holy Sepulchre. In Babylon
he married a girl of eighteen who shortly afterwards died; and
through the remaining four years of his travels he carried her body with
him, like Tamburlainc the great. Again, there was Thomas Dallam,
who must needs bear a huge organ of his own make as a gift from
Queen Elizabeth to the Grand Turk. It 'played chimes, and song-tunes
by itself, had two dummy-men on it who fanfared on silver trumpets.
und, above, an imitation holly bush filled with mechanical birds which
sang and shook their wings'...
There arc instructive chapters on inns and social life. At Berne, it
seems, it was illegal to sit at table more than five hours; at Bale '10
A. M. to 6 P. M. was the maximum;' and in Saxony an innkeeper "was
forbidden to serve more than four dishes at a meal,' but the dishes were
commonly likened to Sicilian tyrants, each "a more fearful monster'
than its predecessor. Spending the night at an inn was avoided as far
as possible by gentlemen, who generally carried letters to men of their
own class and were entertained by them...
Distressing evidence of cruelty the traveller could hardly escape—
men broken on the wheel, gangs of victims chained and flogged, and
jokes played upon idiots. The tolerance of brutality, even fondness for
it, is one of the puzzles of that great age." Nation, 1011.

degree of his domeslicalion; cultural advancement is essentially a phenomenon dependent
upon historical causes regardless of race and the change from primitive to civilized
society includes a lessening of ihe number of the emotional associations and an improvement
of the traditional material lhat enters into our habitual menial operations. Condensed

of five cents, or replaced without payment six months after notice of
loss is given.
4. Issue of books. Holders of adult cards may borrow as many
books of non-fiction as are needed at one time, together with two books
of fiction, only one of which shall have been published within the current
or the preceding year. Holders of juvenile cards may borrow two

By-Product Coking.
The Technology Department of this Library has recently had
numerous letters and inquiries in regard to the literature of by-product
coke manufacture, and in response to these requests has compiled several
brief lists on specific topics. The frequency of the requests and
the wide present interest in the subject have tended to encourage the
assembling of these references and the addition of others to form a
general bibliography of coke manufacture and by-product recovery.
This bibliography is by no means complete, its purpose being
merely to facilitate the work of our readers by making more accessible
a selected part of the extensive literature on the subject. Many references
not here included may be consulted at the Library.

Books Boys Like Best
"The boys in question arc those from ten to sixteen. Within this
period there falls..."the reading age.' At this time the average boy
will read anywhere from one to three or four books a week, if he has
opportunity...
This recreational reading holds for boys three big reading interests.
First and foremost the boy is passionately fond of stories of adventure;
and (2) almost of like concern to him are the 'What and How
to Do' books; and (3) the books of information appeal almost equally
strongly, for the average boy is keen to know something about everything
and everything about something...
Ours is the privilege of exercising all our skill and cunning to introduce
the boy to those great books which become life long friends.
469

470 CARNEGIE LIBRARY OF PITTSBURGH
Is it not probable that the boy will be more interested in our noblest
books if we are concerned about the books he likes best? If we will
meet him, work with him on his own level of reading interests, I fancy
it will be much easier to guide the boy to our own mountain top levels
of literature. And such fellowship, will, I believe, disclose the fact
that the best of the books that the boy likes so well are also of a sort
that leave 'a fine and wholesome feeling in the mind"...
In the studies that immediately follow, 1 have endeavored to show
the possibility of character culture by means of books boys like best.
In the early teens the boy is a hero worshipper. I have made use of
this boyhood passion in arranging the boy's story books according to
his heroes. Then, in each instance, studying the group of books so
listed, I have endeavored to answer the question—what is the character
culture value of such books. Following the hero lists'will be found the
'What and How to Do Books' and the 'Books of Information.' In
each instance, briefly, I have offered suggestions as to the possible
influence of these books in the boy's moral awakening and mental
development.
Obviously, even though the books mentioned are those boys like
best, the lists are not for the use of boys but their leaders and mentors."
This is taken from an illustrated pamphlet, ''Books boys
like best," published by the Library Commission of the Boy
Scouts of America. A short note describes each book and tells
why the boys like it. Those who would like to make use of
these suggestions will find copies of the list for free distributi6n
at the Library.

Fountains in the Sand; Rambles among the Oases of Tunisia
By Norman Douglas
"Mr. Douglas's sphere is that which is too often appropriated by
the mere sentimentalist, and as such is discredited in 'serious' circles.
But he himself is not a sentimentalist. He is an artist who is not concerned
with the half-truths of the sentimentalist or the politician. If
he finds things to praise in Tunisia, we may be sure that is because
there are things worth praising there. If he finds things loathsome in
the life and habits of the country, that is because he is experienced,
because he has not shut his eyes to the hard facts of life. He misses
nothing of the delight in a vision 'that never fails of its effect,' the
spectacle of 'palms in the waste—the miracle of water,' and 'that of fire
—the sun.' He must needs take pleasure in the water that rises in a
mountain gorge, in the luxuriant colours of the oasis, with its white
mosques, its brown, ancient dwellings, and its trees. Nor does the
mere face of the desert, with its marvels of sunrise and sunset, fail to
produce for him the essential and memorable moments.
But he is critical, and self-critical, enough not to be led away by
these sensuous impressions. He knows that this picturesque Arab suffers,
not merely from filth, malnutrition, disease, and continual discomfort,
but from an atrophy of the spirit; that not only misgovernment
and an oppressive climate have afflicted him, but also a sterilizing
religion, which has dried up the foundations of will, energy, intelligence,
and capacity for happiness. He attributes half the evils of this country
to Mohammed and the Mohammedan governments of the past.
This 'grave and ungracious land' is peopled with men whose religion,
in his opinion, has done no more than teach them to regard life
as a series of disconnected happenings which must be enjoyed or endured.
The Arab is incapable of 'reading aright the past or the present,'
because he 'asks himself why? instead of how?' Mohammed, says Mr.
Douglas, is the real 'descrtmakcr.'
Mr. Douglas has found a new way of writing about travel; that is
.to say, he has returned to the way of ancient travellers who wrote with
natural disgust of inhospitable and inferior civilizations, without the
47'

REVIEWS OF RECENT BOOKS—NOVEMBER 1916 473
uncritical tolerance of modern altruism; and he has added th
esthetic feeling of one who has viewed life self-consciously. He
knows well the history and literature of the Greeks and Romans, whose
civilization once penetrated this Carthaginian territory; and he is yet
intensely alive to the facts of to-day. He records with delightful
humour his interviews with Arabs and Frenchmen, with shepherds,
with officials, with an engineer, with a Polish 'Count,' with a Greek
quack doctor. His style reminds us somewhat of Mr. Conrad's; nevertheless,
it is his own. It lends itself to the sensuous description of external
beauty, to delicate nuances of irony, to cold, even brutal, statements
of fact. Mr. Douglas is a stylist in the important sense of the
term—he has something to say which admits of expression in distinguished
prose.'' Athenaeum, 1912.

By Julian Grande
A Citizens' Army; the Swiss System
"This book is dedicated to the memory of Lord Roberts and to
the statesmanship of Mr. Roosevelt; it belongs to the past in our own
country and to the present and future in America. For two reasons it
belongs to our pre-war days. England has found in the events of two
tragic years all the education that she requires in the duty of national
defence; battles have taught her much more than she would have
deigned to learn from books. Next, she must develop her own system
of armed citizenship, because the needs of her national life differ from
those that the Swiss obey with pride. M. Julian Grande has done his
work so well that his readers will learn to understand a very brave
people. There arc political differences between the French-Swiss and
the German-Swiss, but the military system of to-day unites them, and
M. Grande gathers information from all classes and makes his pages
as entertaining as they arc factful. He publishes also a good chapter
on compulsory service, written by a British merchant who lived for a
long time in Germany, and who has read much in history about the
British habit of being unprepared for war. To contrast this English
habit with the Swiss tradition of defensive patriotism, which has
lasted since the thirteenth century, is to find in historical facts a great
many useful ironies.
The twenty-two minute republics forming the Swiss Confederation
could not have been unified and preserved but for the general
belief that military service must be accepted not merely as a social
duty but as a moral right, giving entrance into complete citizenship,
and thus essential to a free man's personal dignity. Among the Swiss,
then, exclusion from military service is always, in sonic evident form,
a mark of inferiority. It cuts a man off from the defended liberty of

474 CARNEGIE LIBRARY OF PITTSBURGH
the commonwealth. A criminal before the law is exempted by his
depraved acts, and a recruit is disqualified by bad conduct for service
in the Swiss Army. As for the physically unfit, as well as the few
exempted for other reasons from honouring their citizenship in the
first and second lines, they are obliged to pay a military tax, introduced
in 1878 and doubled in 1914. Since the war began it has been an
annual tax of 12 francs, with a super-tax proportioned to a man's
property or income. We note, too, that the Swiss clergy, though exempted
from service in the field, must pass the recruits' course; so
they do not stand apart from the nation's traditional spirit of equitable
self-defence." Saturday review, 1916.

Jane Clegg
By St.IohnG. Ervlne
"There is uncommonly good craftsmanship in the 'Jane Clegg' of
St. John G. Ervine. The whole story, from beginning to end. is exhibited
in action, in perfectly simple, natural, logical fashion, without
any recourse to explanatory dialogue. In this respect it is a notable
bit of genuine drama. And it has other distinctive qualities. It is, in
the true sense, realistic—dealing with unmistakable human beings—it
is consistent and absolutely credible; it is compact, ingenious, and interesting.
The tale itself is drab and sordid, but it is dignified by a
very definite purpose and meaning. Virtually it is an attack upon the
English divorce laws, inasmuch as it asserts the right of a good wife
and mother to rid herself of a worthless and faithless husband, who yet
has not brought himself within the reach of existing statutes. In other
words, it is a plea for the establishment of equal moral obligations
upon husband and wife. And the case for the plaintiff, in this particular
instance, could not easily be more strongly put. It is all the stronger
because it is stated without hysteria or exaggeration.. .There is not
a line of 'fine writing' or any attempt at theatrical emotionalism, but
the simple dialogue is full of pregnant suggestion and the interest is
progressive and cumulative, up to the final climax. The characters of
the three principal personages—the patient, conscientious, resolute, and
perplexed wife; the parasitical, conscienceless husband, and his ignorant,
foolish, doting old mother, whose misplaced maternal zeal precipitates
the catastrophe—are unfolded, in speech and action, with remarkable
consistency, veracity, and insight. In short, the whole piece
might be an actual transcript from life. Dealing faithfully as it does
with the commonplace, it does not, of course, exhibit any of those literary
or imaginative qualities essential to a great play, but it is an able,
skilful, and vital work, and a rarely good example of modern realism."

The Russian Arts
By Roia New march
"My work...docs little more than lead to the confines of a great
field for future study. Its object is to prepare the way, and give us
certain criteria for the intelligent acceptance of gifts that the next few
years will assuredly bring us with a freer exchange of spiritual and
artistic ideals between ourselves and our newly-found and glorious
friend in eastern Europe. That this volume will be useful as an introduction
to the study of Russian art I sincerely believe; because although
there are a good many books and articles in French and English dealing
with particular phases and branches of the national arts of Russia,
I know of nothing accessible which covers so wide a scope as that
which is included in this volume...
Since I first began to think out 'The Russian Arts,' nearly twenty
years ago...a complete change has come over the xsthctic ideals of
the Russians. The prosaic, altruistic realism of the second half of last
century, which was partly the reaction from the dilettantism of earlier
years, and partly the outcome of the awakened sympathy of the classes
with the masses, has given place to new impulses to which I have only
done imperfect justice in the last chapter of my book. With many
phases of the twentieth-century movement I feel in complete sympathy;
but I cannot concur in the opinion of some contemporary
critics: that the New Men have utterly extinguished the Old Men.
and obliterated for ever the spirit which gave birth to their works.
Nothing can obliterate a movement so noble in conception, and so enfranchising
in its results, as that of the national realists who broke
with the Academy of Arts in 1863. That they stopped their ears to the
cry of 'Art for art's sake,' has possibly rendered them ridiculous in the
eyes of nations less strenuously occupied with questions of social reform
than Russia in the 'sixties and 'seventies. But efficient 'professionalism'
has never been—and never, I think, will he—the chief consideration
in Russian art or literature. We must accept this fact if we
are to understand the national methods of expression." Introduction.

That Gaudier-Br^eska was of no common talent his writings, drawings and sculptures
sufficiently attest. At an impressionable age he was cast into the chaos of modern
artistic Paris where he learned to despise the Greeks and the Renaissance, and lent
himself to the influence of Rodin, Mailloly, Matisse and Epstein. As a contributor to
the "Blast" he had his part in formulating the program of vortieism. His sculpture is
in essence eubistic—prismatic forms with powerfully balanced and highly simplified
planes. Condensed from Nation, 1916.

Bridge engineering. 2v. 1916. Wiley.
A monumental work, by far the most comprehensive in its field. Theory of stresses
is intentionally omitted and movable bridges arc considered only in a general way.
With these exceptions every branch of bridge engineering, including substructure and
superstructure, is treated with remarkable fulness. In addition to strictly engineering
matters there is much on such subjects as history, esthetics, business matters and professional
ethics. The exhaustive glossary of technical terms is in itself a valuable reference
work.
"He has witheld from his readers little or nothing communicable which he has
gathered from his extended experience. He has projected his personality into his work
with unusual frankness.. .The book makes for the highest class of bridge engineering.
It seems likely to prove indispensable to most bridge engineers, and it is certainly a
veritable mine of information for all beginners." Canadian engineer, 1916.

His account of the economic conditions which have grown up in Germany since i8?i

Books for the Blind
The Library has a collection of about j.ooo books for the blind. The Pennsylvania
Home Teaching Society and Free Circulating Library for the Blind supports in this district
a teacher, herself totally blind, wlio. under the direction of this Library, visits Ihe
adult blind in their homes and teaches them to read. This service and the use of the
books are absolutely free to all the adult blind in and near Pittsburgh, and the Librarian
requests that names and addresses of such persons be sent to him in order that Ihe
teacher may call upon them.

Scientific and Technical Reference Books
Although this list of scientific and technical reference books has
been in print for several years, it is now published for the first time.
In the form of loose sheets or galley proofs, revised annually, it has
been used for a number of years as the basis of instruction in technical
reference books in the Carnegie Library School (formerly the
Training School for Childrens Librarians). It has also proved useful
in reference work and in answering inquiries by mail.
With the exception of a very few titles referred to in annotations,
all the works mentioned arc in regular use in the Carnegie Library of
Pittsburgh. The list therefore represenls the every-day working resources
of a single public library, serving somewhat specialized industries,
rather than a complete or thoroughly balanced collection.
The Technology Department has on its shelves many sets of books
which contain valuable material, but which are not referred to in the
following list because they arc essentially text-boobs rather than reference
books?
Slight attention has been given to bibliographies and indexes of
current literature, as a fairly complete list of those received in this
Library has been previously published in this Bulletin.'
Prices are not always given, and some of those quoted arc perhaps
not accurate, as publishers and prices have not all been verified
at the date of reprinting this list. The main purpose of the list, moreover,
is to suggest serviceable books rather than to furnish bibliographic
data, which usually can be readily obtained.

lav. The "International library of technology," more than I jot. and Hartleben's
"Chemisch-technische bibtiothek," more than 350V.

Chemistry and Chemical Technology
The literature of chemistry is so extensive that many important works in foreign
languages have been omitted from this list. A few recent works in English, though less
exhaustive, have been included as being of more general interest, especially in smaller
libraries. Of the numerous bibliographies available H. C. Bolton's "Select bibliography
of chemistry, 1492-1891," 1893, with supplements, is remarkable for its extent and is
still of great value. J. Ferguson's "Bibliothcca chemica." 1906, is of interest for the
bibliographic notes in regard to works on alchemy and the beginnings of chemistry.
Current Indexes and Abstracts. In the field of chemistry there are three important
abstract journals- The most comprehensive is "Chemical abstracts" (semimonthly,
$6), published by the American Chemical Society. 1907-date. "Chemische*

Medicine
Current Indexes and Abstracts. The "Index catalogue of the library of the
Surgeon-general's office," 1880-date, is an author and subject index covering about 75
per cent, of the medical and surgical literature of all time, and about 90 per cent, of the
literature since 1886. It is published in progressive volumes usually one volume a year.
(v.1-16, A-Z, 1880-1895; ser.a. v.i-*o, A-Water>works. 1896-1916.) More prompt reference
to the current literature is afforded by the "Index medicus" (monthly. $8).
which gives full titles of books, pamphlets, theses, contributions to cooperative works and
original aiticles in journals, transactions of medical and scientific societies, etc., arranged
under subject heading*. Titles in certain languages as Russian, Polish. Swedish,
Danish. Finnish, Hungarian, Bohemian, Roumanian and Japanese, are translated into
English. A table of contents accompanies each number and an "Annual index of authors
and subjects" is issued. The subject part of this annual index is elaborately subdivided.

A pharmacopoeia is an official list of drug* and their preparations reeogniied by the
medical profession of a certain country. About 30 foreign countries have their own
pharmacopceias. Of these the German one is probably most used in the United States.
The pbarmacopcrias of foreign countries are published under government auspices and
eacb has the force of a legal standard. In the United States, publication and decennial
revision are conducted by a convention representing the medical and pharmaceutical
professions, but the national pure food law. effective January 1. 1907. established the
"Pharmacopoeia" (U. S. P.) and the "National formulary" (N. F.) as legal standards.
There is also "Homeopathic pharmacopecia." 680 p.. 1914, not recognized by the Federal
law. but legally recognized in many of the separate states.
The "Pharmacopecia of the United States" is preeminently the standard for medicinal
drugs, chemicals and pharmaceutical preparations. It is the basi* on which rests
all the literature of materia medica. including the dispensatories and textbooks. About
70 per cent, of the articles included arc vegetable drugs or constituents. Metric measurements
are used.
A "Digest of comments on the Pharmacopoeia of the United States of America (8th
decennial revision) and the Notional formulary (3d edition)" appears annually, as a bulletin
of the United States hygienic laboratory. See the following numbers: 49 (1905);

is the work of many more specialists than earlier editions, which were written chiefly
by one man. Index refers to sections and paragraphs, not to pages.
Croft's "American electricians' handbook" (S3) is a manual of actual electrical
practice. In the field of electric railway engineering, the "Electric railway dictionary,"
edited by Rodney Hitt ($$) defines and illustrates equipment, while the "Electric railway
handbook," by Riehey and Grccnough ($4). a smaller but much more compactly

Engineering Ethics
Including a few reference* on the ethics of other professions.
Numerous requests have come to the Technology Department for
material on Engineering Ethics. A brief list on the subject, prepared
several years ago, has been supplemented from time to time in response
to more recent requests, but though the list as now published
represents a rather systematic search, it does not include all that is
available in this Department. The list is confined pretty closely to
ethics for engineers, but it includes a few articles on the ethics of
other professions. The arrangement is by authors and names of
societies; no classification is attempted because many of the articles
are general in scope. References are given, however, to the names of
societies whose codes are considered in articles of a general nature.

Trees and Forestry
A Selected List of the More Important Books in the Library
This brief list of books, published in the hope that it may stimulate
interest in our native trees, suggests only a part of the literature of
forestry available at the Library. In the Technology Department will
be found the official literature of the United States Forest service and
of the state experiment stations; also, extensive literature on many
allied subjects such as botany, geology, soils, topography and climatology,
which form a part of the technical training of the forester. For
an exhaustive bibliography of forestry, the serious worker and the
advanced student may be referred to volume 4 of the first work mentioned
in this list.
Since this list is intended for general use, it includes not only
works on systematic forestry, but also popular manuals on the identification
of trees and shrubs, a few works on the properties and uses of
wood and on the planting, care and preservation of ornamental and
shade trees, especially under the adverse conditions of city life. The
importance of trees is sufficient to justify discrimination in their selection
and care in their treatment, while an acquaintance with the local
trees is a source of permanent satisfaction. With the aid of the proper
books much knowledge of trees may be acquired even in the city.
About one hundred and twenty-five species of trees are native to Pennsylvania.
Fully this many, including a number of exotic species may
be found in Schenley Park, and in a walk of less than two miles
through the residence section east of the park probably forty species
may he observed.
E. H. McClelland.
Technology Librarian.

"The main profit of this branch of natural history is in the pursuit
...If one could number all the trees of the forest and all the leaves
upon the trees, what would it profit him? To know the different kinds
of trees when you see them, and ihe functions of the leaves upon them
—that were more worth while...The function of things is always interesting.
What do they do? How do they pay their way in the rigid
economy of nature? How do they survive?.. .Why do nearly all our
trees have a twist to the right or the left—hard woods one way, and
soft woods the other? Why do the roots of trees flow through the
ground "runnels of molten metal,' often separating and uniting again,
while the branches arc thrust out in right lines or curves? Why is our
common yellow birch more often than any other tree planted upon a
rock? Why do oaks or chestnuts so often spring up where a pine or
hemlock forest has been cleared away? Why docs lightning so commonly
strike a hemlock tree or a pine or an oak and rarely or never
a beech? Why docs the bolt sometimes scatter the tree about, and
at others only plow a channel down its trunk?.. .The questions I have
suggested are not important; they do not hold the key to any great
storehouse of natural knowledge. Their only value is as a means to
quicken the powers of observation.. .Nature's book is like any other
book: you must fix your eyes upon the text; you must get into the
spirit of it. When you have read one sentence correctly you are so
much the better prepared to read the next one...
We have only to look into nature a little more closely and intently,
to whet our powers of observation by the use of such books as
this Nature Library contains, to add vastly to our pleasure in and our
knowledge of the world that lies about us.'" From "The Nature Library
and ivliat it means to the reader," by John Burroughs, in Neltje Blanchan's
"Bird neighbors."

tensitivc to climatic conditions than man, and in some of ihem is discernible a strangeness
of expression that is difficult to understand. Only a rash and presumptuous person
would dare say that trees are not endowed wilh a consciousness, no matter how infinitcsimally
small il may be." Introduction.
