the details of die-making to the extent of the author's previous
book, but gives a comprehensive review of the field of
operations carried on by presses. A large part of the
information given has been drawn from the author's personal
experience. It might well be termed an Encyclopedia of
Die-Making, Punch-Making, Die-Sinking, Sheet-Metal Working, and
Making of Special Tools, Sub-presses, Devices and Mechanical
Combinations for Punching, Cutting, Bending, Forming, Piercing,
Drawing, Compressing and Assembling Sheet-Metal Parts, and also

=Drop Forging, Die-Sinking and Machine-Forming of Steel.= By J. V. WOODWORTH.

This is a practical treatise on Modern Shop Practice, Processes,
Methods, Machine Tools, and Details treating on the Hot and Cold
Machine-Forming of Steel and Iron into Finished Shapes: together
with Tools, Dies, and Machinery involved in the manufacture of
Duplicate Forgings and Interchangeable Hot and Cold Pressed
Parts from Bar and Sheet Metal. This book fills a demand of long
standing for information regarding drop-forgings, die-sinking
and machine-forming of steel and the shop practice involved, as
it actually exists in the modern drop-forging shop. The
processes of die-sinking and force-making, which are thoroughly
described and illustrated in this admirable work, are rarely to
be found explained in such a clear and concise manner as is here
set forth. The process of die-sinking relates to the engraving
or sinking of the female or lower dies, such as are used for
drop-forgings, hot and cold machine-forging, swedging, and the
press working of metals. The process of force-making relates to
the engraving or raising of the male or upper dies used in
producing the lower dies for the press-forming and
machine-forging of duplicate parts of metal.

In addition to the arts above mentioned the book contains
explicit information regarding the drop-forging and hardening
plants, designs, conditions, equipment, drop hammers, forging
machines, etc., machine forging, hydraulic forging, autogenous
welding and shop practice. The book contains eleven chapters,
and the information contained in these chapters is just what
will prove most valuable to the forged-metal worker. All
operations described in the work are thoroughly illustrated by
means of perspective half-tones and outline sketches of the
machinery employed. 300 detailed illustrations. Price =$2.50=

~DRAWING--SKETCHING PAPER~

=Practical Perspective.= By RICHARDS and COLVIN.

=Linear Perspective Self-Taught.= By HERMAN T. C. KRAUS.

This work gives the theory and practice of linear perspective,
as used in architectural, engineering and mechanical drawings.
Persons taking up the study of the subject by themselves will be
able, by the use of the instruction given, to readily grasp the
subject, and by reasonable practice become good perspective
draftsmen. The arrangement of the book is good; the plate is on
the left-hand, while the descriptive text follows on the
opposite page, so as to be readily referred to. The drawings are
on sufficiently large scale to show the work clearly and are
plainly figured. There is included a self-explanatory chart
which gives all information necessary for the thorough
understanding of perspective. This chart alone is worth many
times over the price of the book. 2d Revised and Enlarged
Edition. Price =$2.50=

=Self-Taught Mechanical Drawing and Elementary Machine Design.= By F. L. SYLVESTER, M.E., Draftsman, with additions by ERIK OBERG, associate editor of "Machinery."

This is a practical treatise on Mechanical Drawing and Machine
Design, comprising the first principles of geometric and
mechanical drawing, workshop mathematics, mechanics, strength of
materials and the calculations and design of machine details.
The author's aim has been to adapt this treatise to the
requirements of the practical mechanic and young draftsman and
to present the matter in as clear and concise a manner as
possible. To meet the demands of this class of students,
practically all the important elements of machine design have
been dealt with, and in addition algebraic formulas have been
explained, and the elements of trigonometry treated in the
manner best suited to the needs of the practical man. The book
is divided into 20 chapters, and in arranging the material,
mechanical drawing, pure and simple, has been taken up first, as
a thorough understanding of the principles of representing
objects facilitates the further study of mechanical subjects.
This is followed by the mathematics necessary for the solution
of the problems in machine design which are presented later, and
a practical introduction to theoretical mechanics and the
strength of materials. The various elements entering into
machine design, such as cams, gears, sprocket-wheels, cone
pulleys, bolts, screws, couplings, clutches, shafting and
fly-wheels, have been treated in such a way as to make possible
the use of the work as a text-book for a continuous course of
study. It is easily comprehended and assimilated even by
students of limited previous training. 330 pages, 215
engravings. Price =$2.00=

=A New Sketching Paper.=

=Standard Electrical Dictionary.= By T. O'CONOR SLOANE.

An indispensable work to all interested in electrical science.
Suitable alike for the student and professional. A practical
handbook of reference containing definitions of about 5,000
distinct words, terms and phrases. The definitions are terse and
concise and include every term used in electrical science.
Recently issued. An entirely new edition. Should be in the
possession of all who desire to keep abreast with the progress
of this branch of science. In its arrangement and typography the
book is very convenient. The word or term defined is printed in
black-faced type, which readily catches the eye, while the body
of the page is in smaller but distinct type. The definitions are
well worded, and so as to be understood by the non-technical
reader. The general plan seems to be to give an exact, concise
definition, and then amplify and explain in a more popular way.
Synonyms are also given, and references to other words and
phrases are made. A very complete and accurate index of fifty
pages is at the end of the volume; and as this index contains
all synonyms, and as all phrases are indexed in every reasonable
combination of words, reference to the proper place in the body
of the book is readily made. It is difficult to decide how far a
book of this character is to keep the dictionary form, and to
what extent it may assume the encyclopedia form. For some
purposes, concise, exactly worded definitions are needed; for
other purposes, more extended descriptions are required. This
book seeks to satisfy both demands, and does it with
considerable success. 682 pages, 393 illustrations. 12th
