General Information 

The Superintendent of Documents is authorized to sell at cost 
any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not 
otherwise provided for. Only one copy can be sold to the same 
person, excepting Members of Congress, or to libraries or schools. 

Documents can not be supplied by this Office free to individuals, 
nor can they be forwarded in advance of payment. 

Documents entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the 
Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C, are indicated 
by a star (*) preceding the price named. A dagger (t), indicates 
that application should be made to the Department, Bureau, or 
Division issuing the document, a double dagger (X), indicates that 
the document is not obtainable, and whenever additional informa- 
tion concerning the method of procuring a document seems necessary 
it will be found under the name of the Bureau. The Senate and 
House documents and reports are issued in limited editions and, 
unless otherwise indicated, may be obtained only through Members 
of Congress. 

Read carefully the instructions " How to remit," found at the 
bottom of this page. 

The accumulation of publications in this Office amounts to several 
millions, of which about 700,000 are assorted, forming the sales 
stock, and covering nearly every important Department, Bureau, 
and series. Many rare books are included, but under the law all 
must be sold " at cost," regardless of their age or scarcity. Of 
many of the most valuable works only one or two copies remain. 

In ordering, it should be borne in mind that most of the books 
have been in stock some time and are apt to be shop-worn. In 
filling orders, however, the best copy available is sent. 

Lists on various subjects will be issued from time to time for free 
distribution. No general price-list of public documents is at present 
available, but lists on special subjects will be furnished on ap- 
-"'cation. 

MONTHLY CATALOGUE DISTRIBUTION 

The Monthly catalogue is sent to each Senator, Representative, 
Delegate, and officer in Congress, to designated depositories and 
State and Territorial libraries, to substantially all Government 
authors, and to as many school, college, and public libraries as the 
limited edition will supply. 

Subscription price to individuals, $1.10 a year. Back numbers 
can not be supplied. Please notify the Superintendent of Docu- 
; ments of any change in address.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CARDS 

Numbers to be used in ordering the L. C. catalogue cards will be 
found at the end of the titles of the more important monographic 
documents. The figure following the card number (separated from 
it by a slanting line) indicates the number of cards required for 
entries suggested (title entry not included) on the cards. The price 
of the cards is 2c. for the first card and *c. for each additional card 
for the same title ordered at the same time. Remittances should be 
made to the Librarian of Congress. Cards can not be furnished 
by the Superintendent of Documents. 

CUMULATIVE IXDEX 

Beginning with July, 1909, the index to the Monthly catalogue 
will be. issued separately each quarter, and will cumulate for half- 
yearly periods. That is, the September number of the index will 
be an index to the July to September Monthly catalogues, the De- 
cember number will be an index to the July to December Monthly 
catalogues, the March number will be an index to the January to 
March Monthly catalogues, and the June index will be the index 
for the fiscal year 1910. Persons desiring to bind the catalogue at 
the end of the year should be careful to retain the numbers re- 
ceived monthly, as duplicate numbers can not be supplied. 

HOW TO REMIT 

Remittances for the documents marked with a star (*) should 
be made to the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, 
1>. C, by postal money order, express order, oi New York draft. 
Currency may be sent at owner's risk. Candian postal notes will 
be accepted only when the name of the issuing office is plainly 
stamped on the face of the note. If postage stamps are pasted on, 
the note will be returned. 

Postage stamps, foreign money, uncertified checks, </< /</<■<. </ or 
slick coins will positively not bt accepted. 

No charge is made for postage on documents forwarded to points 
in the United States, Guam, Hawaii, Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, 
or to Canada, Cuba, or Mexico. To other countries the regular rate 
of postage is charged, and remittances must cover such postage. 



Notes of General Interest 

Attention is called to the change in the issuance of the Cumula- 
tive index to the Monthly catalogue. For information concerning 
the index see page 4. 

Among the July, 1909, issues of the Government press is a docu- 
ment of more than passing interest and moment entitled Report 
of the commissioner of corporations on transportation by water in 
the United States. It is in two parts, each part being a thick 
volume. Part 1 has for subtitle General conditions of transporta- 
tion by water, and Part 2 is entitled Water-borne traffic. A hasty 
examination of this report leaves the impression that it must be 
accepted for years to come as a standard collection of historic and 
economic facts on the very weighty subject with which it deals. 
The waterway question looms very large in the immediate future. 
One of the greatest railroad men of his time, James J. Hill, has 
put on record the opinion that there is not money enough nor iron 
enough to build railroads to handle the traffic of this country. The 
only recourse is water, and the country is waking up to the fact. 
The report from the Bureau of Corporations is therefore timely as 
well as otherwise valuable. Part 2 will be noted in the August 
Monthly catalogue. 

Classification of expenditures for additions and betterments as 
prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission for steam roads 
in accordance with section 20 of the act to regulate commerce is 
one of the July publications issued by the Commission. 

The languages in which the Immigration and Naturalization 
Bureau now prints its Information for immigrants are English, 
German, Dutch, Flemish, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Italian, 
Spanish, French, Greek, Turkish, Syrian, Bulgarian, Roumanian, 
Slovak, Croatian, Slovenian, Bohemian, Polish, Ruthenian, Russian, 
Finnish, Magyar (Hungarian), Lithuanian, and Yiddish. 

Chemistry Bureau Bulletin 126, on Harmful effects of acetanilid, 
antipyrin, and phenacetin, drugs which are sometimes used in head- 
ache remedies, declares that their use tends to depress the heart 
and nerves and lead to the drug habit. 

In Forest Service Circular 166, Timber supply of the United 
States, answers are given to many questions that constantly recur, 
such as the extent of the forest reservations, private ownership 
within them, how the timber is cut, the outlook for the future, and 
so forth. 

In the case of the United States, complaining against the Union 
Pacific Railroad Company, evidence is being taken before a special 

5 



6 July, 1909 

examiner in Chicago, Salt Lake, and other places. Seven volumes 
of this evidence have been printed. 

Another big book is one of 1,328 pages containing the proceedings 
before and by direction of the President concerning the meaning 
of the term " whisky." 

An Index to the reports of the Education Bureau for its first 
forty years, 1S67-1907, has been issued by the Bureau. Some of 
the papers are indexed under the authors, and some under the sub- 
jects, but apparently none under both headings. 

Forest Service Circular 163 tells us that only the wood known as 
paper birch is used for making spools ; 43,000 cords of it are turned 
into spools in a single year. Other matters peculiar to the paper 
birch are told of in this circular. 

Trees have their own diseases, and they appear to be rather 
numerous and often fatal. Plant Industry Bureau Bulletin 149, 
entitled Diseases of deciduous forest trees, does not perhaps tell 
all about these maladies, but it certainly tells a good deal. 

A very practical document is Geological Survey Bulletin 370. Fire- 
resistive properties of various building materials. 

The Annual report of the Education Bureau for 190S, 2 volumes, 
is out, with a great body of educational information not to be had 
elsewhere. Volume 1 appeared in the March, 1909, Monthly cata- 
logue. 

Copyright Office Bulletin 14 presents not only the new copyright 
law, but also the rules for practice and proceedings under it adopted 
and promulgated by the Supreme Court of the United States June 1, 
1909. 

A very handsome series of brief illustrated hand-books is in 
course of issue by the International Bureau of the American Re- 
publics. There is one for each republic, another for the capital city 
of each republic, and another for each of the principal products, 
those on cacao, coffee, cotton, nitrates, and rubber having been 
already issued. 

Among other signs of industrial advancement in Government serv- 
ice are the advertisements of the Supervising Architect of the 
Treasury, inviting proposals for the installment of vacuum cleaning 
systems in various public buildings throughout the country, and 
the cooperation of the Standards Bureau with France, Germany, 
and Great Britain in establishing an international unit of light to 
be known as the international candle. But the Bureau is careful 
to say that a unit is not the same as a standard. 

DEPENDENT CHILDREN COMMISSION 

Proceedings of the Conference on the Care of Dependent Children 
held at Washington, D. C, Jan. 25, 26, 1909, has been published, 
prefaced by a special message of the President recommending legis- 
lation desired by the conference, which was attended by many dis- 
tinguished persons. Congress has not yet granted the legislation 
asked for. 



July, 1909 . 7 

TARIFF OF 1909 

The new tariff bill, without index, was put to press in a pamphlet 
edition immediately after its passage to supply advance orders for 
several thousand copies. It had previously been printed only in bill 
form. An indexed edition will also be available by the time this 
catalogue reaches the readers, and will be sold at 15c. 

PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS 

The Public health reports are issued weekly by the Public Health 
and Marine-Hospital Service and contain advices in regard to the 
status of epidemics and other contagious diseases in the United 
States and other information relating to sanitation and the public 
health. Frequently special articles of much interest appear in this 
periodical. Some of the more recent of these are summarized as 
follows : 

In the Public health report for July 9 appeared an article de- 
scribing an epidemic of a peculiar skin eruption. This was investi- 
gated and the cause was discovered to be a small mite in the straw 
of mattresses. Investigation showed that only persons who had 
recently slept on new straw mattresses were attacked by the pe- 
culiar disease. Nearly a hundred or more cases were found, each 
of whom had slept on a new straw mattress. 

In the report for July 16 appears an article describing the types 
of fleas observed in the antiplague inquiries being carried on in 
California. This article is a little more technical than the one first 
mentioned, but is of especial interest to entomologists and to sani- 
tarians dealing with plague or residing at places apt to be involved 
in combating that virulent disease. It will be of interest also, 
though in less degree, to health officers and sanitarians not inter- 
ested in the plague problem. 

The report for July 23 contains an article describing the preva- 
lence of pellagra in Italy and the measures taken for eradication. 
This article is of especial interest at the present time because of the 
many cases of pellagra now being found throughout the United 
States. Until quite recently it was supposed that this disease, long 
known in Europe, had not yet invaded this country, but during the 
last two years many cases have been found, and have continued to be 
found with increasing frequency and in an ever-widening area. The 
disease is supposed to be due to the eating of moldy corn or of meal 
made from such corn. It is very fatal in its effects, and as a public- 
health problem has forced itself into the front rank. 

Other reprints from recent health reports are one on the cam- 
paign against ground squirrels in Contra Costa County, Cal., and 
one on the organization of an antituberculosis league by colored 
people in Georgia. 

SUPREME COURT REPORTS 

The reports of cases adjudged in the Supreme Court are not public 
documents, but perquisites of the reporter of the court, who pub- 
lishes them through a private publishing house. He is required to 



8 July, 1909 

sell them at $2 a volume and to supply to the Government 300 
copies free. These are distributed by the Secretary of the Interior 
to certain officials specified in the law. The Government also buys 
180 copies, which are distributed in like manner. A set of the re- 
ports from the beginning is made up as follows: Dallas, 4 v., 1790- 
1800; Cranch, 9 v., 1801-1815; Wheaton. 12 v., 1816-1827; Peters, 
17 v., 1828-1843 ; Howard, 24 v., 1843-1860 ; Black, 2 v., 1861-1S62 ; 
Wallace. 23 v., 1S63-1874. Of these 91 vols., Peters's 17th duplicates 
Howard's 1st, and is therefore not counted. The publication of the 
series entitled United States Reports began in 1875 with vol. 91, and 
lias been continued to the present time, the latest volume issued 
fl908] being the 212th. These make up the official series. Many 
unofficial reports and digests have also been issued. 

ALEXANDRE VATTEMARE 

Yattemare, born in Paris Nov. 8, 1796, had been a surgeon in the 
army and a traveling ventriloquist. The printed catalogue cards of 
the Library of Congress give him the title " Baron," but on what 
authority does not appear. He promoted a system of exchanging 
duplicates between European libraries which, according to his own 
estimate, resulted in bringing 2,000,000 unused volumes in service. 
In 1S39, and again in 1847, he came to this country to carry on a 
similar promotion here. Through his agency many United States 
public documents were sent to France, and the number of books 
brought from Europe as gifts to this Government has been estimated 
at 300,000. He also brought over more than 1,000 historical medals. 
Vattemare died in Paris Apr. 7, 1864. For an account of his activi- 
ties in connection with the United States Government, and a por- 
trait, see Johnston's History of the Library of Congress, v. 1, p. 
254-265. 

wait's state papers 

Though only one document (and that unimportant) relating to 
Wait's collection of State papers and public documents has been 
found in the Congressional series, it is well known that Congress 
bought numerous copies of the several editions, of which there were 
three, the first in 8 v., the second in 10 v., and the third in 12 v. 
The first issue, in 1814, began with Jefferson's administration. After 
5 v. had been issued, bringing the record and date of printing down 
to 1815, a return was made to the beginning, and 3 v. of the papers 
of the administrations of Washington and John Adams were issued 
in 1815. These were made vols. 1-3 of the first edition, the volumes 
previously issued becoming vols. 4-8, with an index to the series in 
vol. 8. The 2d edition, issued 1817, carried the chronological record 
one volume farther and added a 10th volume made up of confidential 
documents, 1790-1813, not previously printed, this volume having 
its own index. The 3d edition, printed 1819, brings the record down 
to 1818. Only vols. 11 and 12, with index in vol. 12, are new matter. 
That this series is much less known and less used than Gales & 
Seaton's later and larger one under the name American state papers 



July, 1909 9 

is no doubt clue to the several facts that Wait covers but one sub- 
ject, foreign relations, that its arrangement is chronological, with 
no classification, under countries or otherwise, and that it is in- 
sufficiently indexed. None of Wait's 30 volumes is included in the 
numbered Congressional series. 

wharton's international law 

Wharton's Digest was first printed' by authority of a resolution 
approved July 28, 1SS6, during the 1st session of the 49th Congress, 
the edition thus ordered being the " usual number " (1900) and 4,000 
additional copies. The additional copies were issued without docu- 
ment number, but how the copies of the " usual number " were 
issued, if at all. is not clear. The sheep-bound volumes of the work 
(serial nos. 2350-52) should be part of this "usual number," but 
they are really part of a second edition, which was not ordered till 
the last day of the following session. This was Mar. 3, 1887, when 
Congress ordered a second issue of 4,000 additional copies. Dr. 
Wharton improved the opportunity of this second printing to make 
a second edition by correcting errors and adding an appendix, 165 p., 
of new and important matter. This second edition, ordered at the 
end of the 2d session, 49th Congress, appears in the numbered series 
as Senate mis. doc. 162. 1st session, 49th Congress. 

NEW CRIMINAL CODE 

The only portion of the new revision of the laws of the United 
States, going on for some ten years past, that has been accepted and 
enacted by Congress is the Criminal code which was passed in the 
closing hours of the 60th Congress and printed as Public act 350, 
60th Congress, 2d session. Even this, it is now ascertained, is only 
temporary and not to be accepted as a permanent statute. The 
reason for this situation is the fact that through oversight an amend- 
ment which had been adopted by the Joint Committee on the Revi- 
sion of the Laws was not incorporated in the act before printing. 
While this practically invalidates the act as passed, no harm has 
been done, because the act itself provides that it shall not become 
effective till Jan. 1, 1910, and it is intended that the missing amend- 
ment shall be passed by Congress very soon after the opening of 
the session in December. The nature and location in the act of the 
omitted amendment have not been made public. 

NAVAL MEDICAL BULLETIN 

From January 1. 1910, tins now medical quarterly, issued by the 
Surgeon-General of the Navy, will be supplied to subscribers by the 
Superintendent of Documents at $1 a year, foreign subscribers pay- 
ing 25 cents additional for ocean postage. For single numbers the 
price will be 25 cents at home and 31 cents abroad. The sale of 
single numbers, however, will not be encouraged, the purpose being 
to establish a permanent subscription list. Two volumes have been 
completed and three numbers have been issued of the third volume. 
4432— -No. 175—09 2 



10 July, 1909 

The fourth number, completing the volume, will be issued in October. 
The fourth volume will begin with the number for January, 1910, 
and subscriptions to begin at that date will be received at any time. 
The separate numbers of the Bulletin will average 100 pages or 
more, and each number has usually several plates. The extensive 
and varied practice of American naval surgeons in all parts of the 
world supplies an unlimited fund of original material upon which 
to draw for the contents of the magazine.

Topographic sheets 

Note. — The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the 
United States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected without 
reference to political divisions, and are designated by some prominent 
town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are used, 1 : 62,500, 

1 : 125,000, and 1 : 250,000. These correspond, approximately, to 1 mile, 

2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch on the map. The size, unless other- 
wise given, is about 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 to 16 inches in width, 
exclusive of the margin, the width varying with the latitude. A de- 
scription of the topographic map is printed on the reverse of each sheet. 

About one-third of the area of the country, excluding outlying pos- 
sessions, has been mapped, nearly every State being represented. Massa- 
chusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and the District of 
Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular size are sold by 
the Survey at 5c. each ; but in lots of 100 or more copies, whether of the 
same sheet or of different sheets, the price is 3c. each. In no case can 
orders be filled at the wholesale rate unless the sum remitted solely for 
topographic maps amounts to at least $3.00.

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION 

Note.— In its latest price-list the Smithsonian Institution publishes 
this note : " The publications of the Smithsonian Institution are : 1, 
Contributions to knowledge ; 2, Miscellaneous collections ; 3, annual 
reports; 4, special publications. No sets of these are for sale or dis- 
tribution, as most of the volumes are out of print. The volumes of 
Contributions and of Miscellaneous collections are distributed only to 
public libraries and to learned institutions and societies in this country 
and abroad. A small edition of the papers in these two series is 
printed separately for sale or exchange. The Smithsonian reports are 
regularly distributed by the Institution to libraries throughout the 
world, and only a limited number of the volumes remains to supply 
demands from other sources. No general mailing-list of individuals is 
maintained. The reports can be had by purchase from the Superin- 
tendent of Documents, Washington. D. C. The papers printed in the 
annual reports are published separately for free distribution. Publi- 
cations should be ordered by the aerial number. Remittances should be 
made payable to ' Smithsonian Institution.' An application from a 
library should state the number of volumes in the library and the date 
of establishment, and have the endorsement of a Member of Congress." 
The annual reports are the only Smithsonian publications that are 
regularly issued as public documents. All the others are paid for from 
the private funds of the Institution.

year.

Irrigation projecl in Nevada an experimental farm to demonstrate

ington State, Kansas, and California. 

For many years past the Hydrographic Office, Navy Department, 
has issued monthly pilot charts for the north Atlantic and the north 
Pacific, showing currents, derelicts, icebergs, storm tracks, steamer 
routes, etc. The Office has now begun similar series for the south 
Atlantic and the south Pacific. These, however, are issued only 
quarterly. The September issue of the north Pacific chart has 
printed on its back an exhaustive treatise on cyclonic storms. Sim- 
ilar treatises on marine subjects appear on all the charts, and re- 
cently these have been reprinted in pamphlets under the series 
title Reprints of hydrographic information from Pilot charts and 
Hydrographic bulletin. Six such pamphlets have been issued, and 
though they are not imposing in size they embody the latest knowl- 
edge of the Hydrographic Office, known for generations as a trust- 
worthy repository of sea lore. 

The criminal code of the new revision of the United States laws, 
which was passed in the closing hours of the 60th Congress and was 
published as Public [act] 350 of the 2d session of that Congress, has 
now been published in a covered pamphlet with side notes and an 
appendix " containing references to all laws of a general nature, 
permanent in character, in force Dec. 1, 190S, having penal pro- 
visions not properly separable from the administrative provisions, 
not contained in the criminal code but embraced in the general re- 
vision of the laws of the United States." This edition is sold by the 
Superintendent of Documents for 20 cents. A note in the July 
catalogue spoke of the necessity for amending the new code before 
it can become operative. 

A new War Department circular in pamphlet form shows the 
distribution of the troops of the regular Army from 1866 to 1909 — 
43 years. It enables one to trace quickly the service of any or all 
of the army organizations. 

The Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service has issued the 
fourth of its Studies upon leprosy. 

The new tariff on imports into the Philippine Islands has been 
published as Public [act] 7 of the 61st Cong. 1st sess., and also in 
pamphlet form, with index, repertory, and appendix. The pro- 
visions relating to the admission of Philippine products into this 
country free of duty are contained in the new United States tariff 
law. 

A study of the Iloco language is the title of War Department docu- 
ment 327. Iloco is one of the numerous languages of the Philip- 
pines. 

The reports of the annual conventions of the Association of Offi- 
cial Agricultural Chemists are always in active demand. The re- 
ports of the 24th and 25th conventions, held in 1907 and 1908, were 
reprinted in Aug. 1909, aud are on sale by the Superintendent of 
Documents at 20c. for 1907 and 40c. for 1908. 

Some things that the grower of cereal and forage crops should 
knew about insects is the title of a most interesting paper in the 
new Yearbook, and printed also in a separate pamphlet. It points 



August, 1009 61 

out that outbreaks of destructive iusects are uot mysterious visita- 
tions of Providence, but the results of natural causes. One of the 
most potent causes is farming itself, which seeks to destroy many 
plants that are the natural homes of insects and to substitute other 
plants which are even more satisfying to insect taste. Insect in- 
roads may not be altogether prevented, but they may be largely 
controlled and minimized by the intelligent farmer who will fol- 
low the advice given him in this treatise. The pamphlet print of 
it is sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 5c. It is only 
one of many of equal value in the 190S Yearbook. 

The Geographic Board sometimes reverses itself, as even more 
grave and reverend bodies also do at times. In the newly issued 
pamphlet containing the decisions of the Board from July, 1908, 
to July. 1909, is one withdrawing a former decision and giving 
the citizens of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., permission to go on compounding 
their local name as they have done for the century or more of their 
municipal existence. The people of that city would certainly have 
done so no matter what the ruling of the Board might have been, 
because their name is a point of patriotic pride very dear to them. 
The name is made by compounding the surnames of John Wilkes 
and Isaac Barre, two members of the British Parliament in the 
days of the American Revolution who were friendly to the Revolu- 
tionists. 

The Interstate Commerce Commission has issued an order for- 
bidding steam roads to destroy the records of their transactions. 

Geological Survey Bulletin 380, being part 1 of Contributions to 
economic geology for 1908. is now issued. Sold by the Superin- 
tendent of Documents for 40c. 

Latin America, the land of opportunity, is a new pamphlet from 
the Bureau of American Republics, illustrated in the brilliant style 
which has of late made the Bureau's monthly Bulletin conspicuous 
among public documents. 

Waterborne traffic, which is part 2 of the Report of the commis- 
sioner of corporations on transportation by water in the United 
States, is one of the month's notable issues. It has over 400 pages 
and 5 maps and is sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 50c. 

An official list of the new House committees, which were ap- 
pointed by Speaker Cannon in the closing hours of the recent session. 
with the location of the committee rooms, their telephone numbers 
and their meeting days, has just been issued. 

The 5th edition of that invaluable marine manual, Coaling, dock- 
ing, and repairing facilities of the ports of the world, has been issued 
by the Naval Intelligence Office. 

The Report of the delegates of the United States to the Pan- 
American Scientific Congress al Santiago de Chile Dec. 25, 1908, to 
Jan. 5. 1909, is published. Tbe United States sent a strong delega- 
tion which apparently made a deep impression, for the Congress 
voted unanimously to hold its next session in Washington in 1912. 
The Report is only an outline of the proceedings and does not give 
the text of any of the numerous scientific papers that were presented.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD 

The lin.'il semi-monthly index (No. X) for the Congressional rec- 
ord, vol. 44. tilsi Cong. 1st sess.. was issued Aug. 10. indexing num- 
bers 99 to 111. July 19 to Aug. 6. As the session had ended Aug. 5, 
the uninitiated might be excused for believing that the conclusion 
of volume 44 had been reached. Not so. No. 112 appeared with 
the date Aug. IT and No. 113 dated Sept. 1. These belated numbers 
of course did not contain any proceedings of Congress, but were 
made up of speeches which had been withheld for revision by their 
authors. They contain some of the most important tariff speeches 
of tin- many important ones of the session. No more numbers of 
\nl. 44 will be issued. 

No. 112 (price 6c.) contains speeches by Senators Elkins and Bev- 
eridge and several Representatives. No. 113 (price 16c.) has 
speeches by Senators Aldrich and Dick and elaborate tables of 
tariff increase and decrease prepared by the Manufactures and 
Statistics bureaus. 

The bound copies of vol. 44. containing the speeches in their 
chronological order as they were spoken and a consolidated index 
in one book, have not yet been issued, but may be expected soon. 

CONSERVATION RETORT 

A 3-volume document to which a number of scientists of estab- 
lished reputation have contributed is Senate doc. 676, 60th Cong. 
2d sess.. Report of the National Conservation Commission, the 
entry for which appeared in the July. 1909, Monthly catalogue. 
Because of the small number printed, the supply of this document 
for distribution by sale is very limited. There is an especially 
active demand for Professor Irving Fisher's paper entitled Na- 
tional vitality, its wastes and conservation. This is printed in the 
3d volume of the Conservation report, pages 620-751. An edition 
of 5000 copies of this paper has been separately printed as Bulletin 
30 of the Committee of One Hundred on National Health. This 
committee, of which Professor Fisher is president, is not a Govern- 
ment body, but a creation of the American Association for the Ad- 
vancement of Science. Its Bulletin 30 is therefore not a United 
Stales public document, though it is extracted from a public docu- 
ment. The 5000 edition is offered for sale by the Committee of 
One Hundred at $1 for paper-covered copies and $2 for copies in 
cloth binding, the receipts to go toward the support of the health 
conservation work of the Committee. Remittances should be made 
t<. the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, 176 Broadway. New 
York, which is the treasurer of the Committee. The United States 
Geological survey is doing something toward meeting the popular 
demand for the Conservation Report by printing in a cheaper form 
the papers which were contributed by members of the Survey. 
Nine of them are grouped in Bulletin 394 under the title Conserva- 
tion of mineral resources and the others in Water-supply paper 234 
uinler the title Conservation of water resources. The full Conserva-

tion report, in 3 vols., paper covers, will lie sold in sets only by 
the Superintendent of Documents las long as ir lasts) at $1.95 Cor 
the set. 

SENATE PRECEDENTS 

Senate document 129, of the 61sl Congress. 1st session, is a 
publication which must be valuable to many and should he inter- 
esting to all. Its full title is Precedents, decisions on points of 
order, with phraseology, in the United States Senate, from the First 
Congress to end of the Sixtieth Congress — 1789-1909; compiled i>.\ 
Henry H. Gilfry, chief clerk of the United Stales Senate. The book 
will no doubt at once become a standard manual of parliamentary 
practice, hut its chief effect on the life and manners of the American 
people — and a very considerable effect it may he — is likely to come 
from part 2. entitled Phraseology. Here are given all the formal 
phrases in which and by which the business of the Senate is car- 
ried on. 

CORPORATION TAX 

The new provisions imposing a tax on the earnings of corporations 
are not contained in a separate law as many people seem to suppose. 
They are a part of the new tariff law. The forms for making re- 
turns by corporations are being prepared in the Internal Revenue 
Bureau, and that is the bureau which will collect the tax. 

NEW SERIES 

Thi' Government Hospital for the Insane, better known to Wash- 
ington residents as St. Elizabeth's, has begun the issue of a series 
of numbered bulletins. No. 1. issued in July, contains 10 papers on 
psychiatric subjects. 

A CENTURY'S GROWTH 

The special census report entitled A century of population growth 
from the first census of the United States to the twelfth, 1 7! )< >-1900, 
the entry for which appeared in the July. 190!), Monthly catalogue, 
is something more than a collection id' statistical tables. It gives 
much incidental historical matter, reproductions of ancient maps, 
illustrative diagrams and facsimiles, analyses of the statistics, dis- 
cussions of such topics ars interstate migration, surnames, nationality, 
changes of boundary, etc.. making altogether a reference book of 
uncommon interest and value. Sold by the Superintendent of docu- 
ments at $1.lo in blue cloth.

Topographic sin its 

Note. — The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the 
United States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected with- 
out reference to political divisions, and are designated by some promi- 
nent town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are used, 
1 : 62,500, 1 : 125,000, and 1 : 250,000. These correspond, approxi- 
mately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch on the map. 
The size, unless otherwise given, is about 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 
#to 16 inches in width, exclusive of the margin, the width varying with 
the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the 
reverse of each sheet. 

About one-third of the area of the country, excluding outlying pos- 
sessions, has been mapped, nearly every State being represented. Mas- 
sachusetts, Connecticut. Rhode Island, New Jersey," and the District of 
Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular size are sold 
by the Survey at 5c. each : but in lots of 100 or more copies, whether 
of the same sheet or of different sheets, the price is .°>c. each. In no 
case can orders be filled at the wholesale rate unless the sum remitted 
solely for topographic maps amounts to at least $3.00.

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION 

Note. — In its latest price-list the Smithsonian Institution publishes 
this note : " The publications of the Smithsonian Institution are : 1, 
Contributions to knowledge ; 2, Miscellaneous collections ; 3, Annual re- 
ports ; 4, Special publications. No sets of these are for sale or distri- 
bution, as most of the volumes are out of print. The volumes of 
Contributions and of Miscellaneous collections are distributed only to 
public libraries and to learned institutions and societies in this country 
and abroad. A small edition of the papers in these two series is printed 
separately for sale or exchange. The Smithsonian reports are regu- 
larly distributed by the Institution to libraries throughout the world, 
and' only a limited number of the volumes remains to supply demands 
from other sources. No general mailing-list of individuals is main- 
tained. The reports can be had by purchase from the Superintendent 
of Documents, Washington, D. C. The papers printed in the annual 
reports are published separately for free distribution. Publications 
should be ordered by the serial number. Remittances should be made 
payable to ' Smithsonian Institution.' An application from a library 
should state the number of volumes in the library and the date of estab- 
lishment, and have the endorsement of a Member of Congress." The 
annual reports are the only Smithsonian publications that are regularly 
issued as public documents. All the others are paid for from the 
private funds of the Institution.

Explanation 



Words and figures inclosed in brackets [] are given for informa- 
tion, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications cata- 
logued. When size is not given, octavo is to be understood. Size of 
maps is measured from outer edge of border, excluding margin. The 
dates, including day, month, and year, given with Senate and House 
documents and reports, are the dates on which they were ordered to 
be printed. Usually the printing promptly follows the ordering, 
but various causes sometimes make delays. When Congress and 
session are not given with the numbers of Senate and House docu- 
ments and reports, 61st Congress, 1st session, is to be understood.

General Information 

The Superintendent of Documents is authorized to sell at cost 

any public document in bits charge, the distribution of which is not 
otherwise provided for. Only one copy can be sold to the same 
person, excepting Members of Congress, or to libraries or schools. 

Documents can not be supplied by this Office free to individuals, 
nor can they be forwarded in advance of payment. 

Documents entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the 
Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C, are indicated 
by a star (*) preceding the price named. A dagger (t) indicates 
that application should be made to the Department, Bureau, or 
Division issuing the document, a double dagger (i) indicates that 
the document is not obtainable, and whenever additional informa- 
tion concerning the method of procuring a document seems neces- 
sary it will be found under the name of the Bureau. The Senate 
and House documents and reports are issued in limited editions and, 
unless otherwise indicated, may be obtained only through Members 
of Congress. 

Read carefully the instructions "How to remit." found at the 
bottom of the next page. 

The accumulation of publications in this Office amounts to several 
millions, of which about 700,000 are assorted, forming the sales 
stock, and covering nearly every important Department, Bureau, 
and series. Many rare books are included, but under the law all 
must be sold "at cost," regardless of their age or scarcity. Of 
many of the most valuable works only one or two copies remain. 

In ordering, it should be borne in mind that most of the books 
have been in stock some time and are apt to be shopworn. In 
filling orders, however, the best copy available is sen!.

distribution. No general price-list of public documents is at pres- 
ent available, but lists on special subjects will be furnished on

of tbe cards is 2c. for tbe first card and ic. for each additional card 
for the same title ordered at tbe same time. Remittances should be

CUMULATIVE INDEX 

Beginning with July, 1909, the index to tbe Monthly catalogue 
will be issued separately each quarter, and will cumulate for half-

cember number will be an index to tbe July to December Monthly 
catalogues, the March number will be an index to tbe January to 
March Monthly catalogues, and the June index will be tbe index

Notes of General Interest 

Senate documents 154, 155, 156, and 157, 61st Congress, 1st ses- 
sion, are all comparisons of the new tariff with the Dingley and 
other superseded tariffs, and these are by no means all the sets of 
comparative tariff tables that have been recently issued. 

In National Museum Proceedings 1695 we have a pretty picture, 
in natural colors, of the mouse deer of the Malay Archipelago, which 
is said to be the smallest of the deer family and hardly larger tban 
a rabbit. 

Treatment of hookworm disease, by Dr. Ch. Wardell Stiles, is a 
small pamphlet of unusual importance reprinted from Public health 
reports, vol. 24, no. 34. Dr. Stiles holds that the discovery of the 
American hookworm and a successful method of repelling it is the 
most beneficial result of the War with Spain. 

Hookworm disease in its relation to the negro is a small pam- 
phlet containing an abstract of an address delivered before the 
Hampton Negro Conference by Dr. Ch. Wardell Stiles, discoverer 
of the American hookworm, the cause of a wasting and formerly a 
mysterious disease in the United States and Porto Rico. The ab- 
stract is printed also in Public health reports, vol. 24, no. 31, July 
30, 1909. Dr. Stiles gave a plain talk about the evils of this dis- 
ease and the careless practices by which it is spread. 

The series of Farmers' bulletins issued by the Agricultural De- 
partment, now numbering nearly 400 distinct publications, con- 
tinues to be extremely practical in character. Farm management in 
northern potato-growing regions (365), How to destroy rats (369), 
and Harmfulness of headache mixtures (377), are recent titles. 

The form of the House manual, formerly a document octavo, 
9X6 inches, has been cut down to a pocket-size quarto, 6X4A, but 
about the same thickness as before. In its present size it is 
doubtless more convenietil and practical tban before. 

Investigation of petroleum and natural gas in 1908 is an advance 
chapter from Geological Survey Bulletin 3S1, entitled Contributions 
to economic geology, 1908, pt. 2. This part will be devoted en- 
tirely to the consideration of fuels. Part 1 is entitled Metals and 
nonmetals, except fuels. 

Production of petroleum in 190S, by Dr. David T. Day, the petro- 
leum expert of the Geological Survey, is a separately printed chap- 
ter from the forthcoming volume. Mineral resources of the United 
States, calendar year 190S. Dr. Day says that despite many unto- 
ward circumstances the petroleum production of 1908 broke all 
records, amounting to 179,572,749 barrels of 42 gallons each, valued 
at $129,706,258. The increase over the previous year came mainly 

99 



100 September, 1900 

from Illinois and California. Oklahoma led all the other States, 
producing 45,708,765 barrels. California was 2d and Illinois 3d, 
the last-named making the greatest gain over the preceding year. 

Plant Industry Bureau's new Bulletin 141, part 5, discusses the 
mysterious chestnut bark disease by which so many fine trees have 
latterly been destroyed. 

Bulletin 21(3 of the Experiment Stations Office describes irrigation 
in Idaho, a State which holds a remarkable record for the extent 
ami success of its irrigating projects. 

Forest Service Circular 167, The status of forestry in the United 
States, gives a most hopeful view of the progress of a great econom- 
ical reform, which apparently has lived down the strong opposition 
that it encountered at first. 

Ethnology Bureau Bulletin 41 has for title The antiquities of 
Mesa Verde National Park, and for subtitle Spruce-tree House. 
The ruin thus named is the largest of all the remains of the habita- 
tions of the cliff-dwellers. Its inhabitants must have been ecpial 
to a whole village. 

A new edition of Naturalization laws and regulations, dated Aug. 
17, 1909, but issued in September, supersedes all previous editions. 

Volume 37, Land decisions, was issued during September. It is 
bound in buckram and sold by the Superintendent of Documents 
for $1.75. 

Announcement has beeu made jointly by the Commerce and Labor 
Department and the Civil Service Commission concerning examina- 
tions for appointment in the 13th decennial census. The examina- 
tions will be held October 23d, 1909. at a large number of places 
throughout the country. For a list of these places and other infor- 
mation, address the Civil Service Commission. 

A new War Department publication is entitled Acts of Congress, 
treaties, proclamations, decisions of the Supreme Court, and opin- 
ions of the Attorney-General relating to noncontiguous territory, 
Cuba, and Santo Domingo. Mar. 4, 1905-June 1, 1909. 

Census Bulletin 103 gives the statistics of religious bodies in the 
United States in 1906. Among the publications of the 11th census 
was a volume entitled Churches. These two are believed to be the 
only publications of the United States devoted primarily to giving 
information concerning religious organizations. 

Those who have a notion of seeking employment on the Panama 
Canal may save themselves trouble and probable disappointment 
by first writing to the Isthmian Canal Commission at its Washing- 
ton office, for a copy of its newly issued pamphlet entitled Manual 
of information concerning employments for service on the Isthmus 
of Panama. 

Provisional small arms firing manual is a September publication 
of the War Department, sold by the Superintendent of Documents 
at 50c. 

By proclamation dated Sept. 21. 1909, President Taft has added 
another to the remarkable series of natural national monuments. 



September, 1909 101 

The new one is in Wyoming and its official name is Shoshone Cavern 
national monument. The proclamation says that the cavern is " of 
unknown extent but of many windings and ramifications and con- 
taining vaulted chambers of large size magnificently decorated with 
sparkling crystals and beautiful stalactites and containing im- 
penetrable pits of unknown depth," and declares it to be " of great 
scientific interest and value to the people of the United States." 

North American fauna 29, Rabbits of North America, is a Sep- 
tember publication of the Biological Survey which has sprung into 
immediate popularity. Sold by the Superintendent of Documents in 
paper covers, 50c. 

Plant Industry Bureau has published a very small pamphlet 
(numbered 477) on the cultivation of the American ginseng plant, 
which is now on sale by the Superintendent of Documents at 5c a 
copy. The number of American cultivators who want information 
concerning ginseng has always been very large, but the amount 
of material on the subject published by the Agriculture De- 
partment has been very small. It is understood that the action 
of the Department has been based upon its belief that the plant is 
of little or no use and that the fancy prices received for its roots 
and seeds are meretricious and represent no real value. The action 
of the multitude of seekers for official ginseng literature is no 
doubt due to the facts, now stated in the new publication, that 
the price of dried ginseng roots for Chinese medicine ranges from 
$5.75 to $6.50 a pound, and that roots for transplanting bring from 
25 cents to $10.00 a hundred, and that the seed also brings a high 
price. Perhaps some of the inquirers do not know that it takes 
from 5 to 7 years to get a crop from the seed and that the plant 
at all times requires very careful and skillful cultivation. 

A new edition of Drill regulations for coast artillery has been 
received by the Superintendent of Documents. Price 60c. 

Yol. 36, Proceedings of the National Museum, is now ready. Price 
$1.00 in cloth binding. 

Geological Survey Bulletin 360, Pre-Camhrian geology of North 
America, issued in September 1909, is a revision and enlargement 
of Bulletin 86, issued 1892. The present work fills nearly a thou- 
sand pages, and is a summary of the existing knowledge on its 
subject. The authors are President Van Hise of "Wisconsin Uni- 
versity and Professor Charles Kenneth Leith. Bulletin 360 is sold 
by the Superintendent of Documents at 75c a copy. 

The long-awaited first part of the 40-year special report on 
Marriage and divorce, prepared by the Census Bureau, has just 
been received. Part 2 was issued in 190S. It contained the gen- 
eral tables and little text, rail 1 has a good deal of text, sum- 
marizing and illustrating the tables, and summarizing also the mar- 
riage and divorce laws of all the States and of foreign countries, 
the whole preceded by an informing introduction. The work is 
bound in cloth, and copies may be bought from (he Superintendent 
of Documents at $1.00 for Part 1 and $1.50 for Part 2. 



102 September. 1909 

Some persons will no doubt find the most interesting publication 
of the month to be Professional paper 56 of the Geological Survey, 
entitled Geology and ore deposits of Goldfield, New It is a quarto 
of 25S pages, profusely illustrated with plates and maps, and sold 
by the Superintendent of Documents at $1.00. 

Mr. Gaillard Hunt's History of the seal of the United States, 
after some months of unanticipated delay, has at last been issued. 
Mr. Hunt in 1S92 prepared a pamphlet bearing the same title and 
it was published by the State Department. The present history is 
more complete, and Mr. Hunt's well-earned reputation for thorough- 
ness and accuracy in American historical studies will give the work 
standing at once. It has been very carefully and excellently printed 
at the Government Printing Office. 

PELLAGRA 

Articles in the Public health reports for Sept. 10 and Sept. 17 
concerning pellagra have been the cause of many inquiries for these 
numbers. Pellagra is a disease which is apparently to play a bale- 
ful part in the health annals of the country. Already the investi- 
gations of the Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service seem to 
have overthrown the formerly accepted theory that the cause of 
the disease was eating mouldy corn, but no new theory has been 
brougbt forward. The Superintendent of Documents has a limited 
supply of the Public health reports for Sept. 10 and Sept. 17 (vol. 
24. nos. 37 and 38), for sale at 5c each. 

SPECIAL CONSULAR REPORT 40 

In 1907 Special consular report 40 was issued with the title Motor 
machines. In 190S Special consular report 40. part 2. was issued 
with the same title. Now comes Special consular report 40. with 
the title Soya bean. Librarians will need to take some care to 
prevent mix-ups. and to note also the fact that between no. 40 of 
1907 and no. 40 of 1909 several special consular reports were 
issued without series title or number. 

CONSERVATION BULLETINS 

In addition to its three-volume report, which contains Professor 
Irving Fisher's report entitled The national vitality, its wastes and 
conservation, and many other valuable papers from expert hands, the 
National Conservation Commission has published four bulletins. 
Nos. 1, 2, and 3, issued in June, July, and August, 190S, were not 
printed, but mimeographed. The editions, consequently, were not 
large, but in Bulletin 4, recently printed. Bulletins 1, 2, and 3 are 
summarized, so that all four are now available. Bulletin 4 con- 
tains also the Report of the National Conservation Commission 
without the accompanying papers, lists of tbe members of the Com- 
mission and of tbe Joint Conservation Conference of December. 190S, 



September, 1909 103 

the schedule of inquiries sent out by the Commission when gather- 
ing information for its Report, and other interesting matter. 

The Commission has no appropriation from the Government, but 
is carrying on its work nevertheless. Its headquarters are at 43 
Wyatt Building. Washington, where applications for copies of Bul- 
letin 4 should be addressed. 

sudworth's trees of the pacific slope 

In the Monthly catalogue for January, 1909, the statement was 
made that Sudworth's Trees of the Pacific Slope, a work of 441 
pages then recently published and extensively called for by corre- 
spondents in every part of the country, was not available for distribu- 
tion, having been withdrawn from publication by the Agriculture 
Department. 

This statement was correct at the time, but a change of plan has 
followed. Mr. Sudworth's remarkable book has been formally pub- 
lished and, in addition, a large edition has been printed for sale by 
the Superintendent of Documents. The price has been fixed at 60 
cents. 

The Trees of the Pacific Slope is the first part of what is planned 
as a very extensive work to give the description and classification 
of the trees in all parts of the country. 

NORTHWESTERN BOUNDARY 

The full report of the American members of the joint English and 
American Northwestern Boundary Commission was transmitted to 
the State Department in October, 18G9, but was not printed and is 
now lost. Some humiliating results have followed this loss. For 
all available information, see Geological Survey bulletin 174, by 
Marcus Baker, published in 1900. This is also published as II. doc. 
748, 56th Cong. 1st sess.. in serial volume 3952. 

INVESTIGATION OF INSECTS AFFECTING STORED PRODUCTS 

The Bureau of Entomology is engaged in a special investigation 
of insects which infest stored products, and more particularly such 
as injuriously attack stored cereals and cereal products. During 
recent years many complaints are being made of injury to flour 
in flour mills, in cars used in transportation, in the holds of ves- 
sels, and at the ports of destination as well as outgoing ports in this 
country. Much trouble and very considerable money loss have 
been occasioned, and the desire for additional information on this 
topic has been expressed in many quarters, more especially in the 
Southwest. Inquiries which reach beyond anything that has been 
published and which entail a knowledge of the complete life his- 
tory, including the most minute details, of several species of insects 
which affect Hour are frequent^ received. 

10215— Xo. 177-09 2 



104 September, 1909 

Information is therefore requested by the Bureau of what is new, 
unusual, or of general interest, and correspondence is invited from 
persons who suffer from the presence of insects which affect flour 
and other mill products and stored grain. The Bureau has recently 
issued a circular letter inviting the aid of its correspondents. 

Communications should be accompanied in all cases by speci- 
mens of the insects concerned in the attack, with a complete state- 
ment, as concise as possible, concerning the conditions. 

NEW CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT 

The amendment to the Constitution of the United States, passed 
finally July 12 last as Senate joint resolution 40, does not appear in 
the list of joint resolutions of the 61st Congress, 1st session, which 
has been printed in the slip-law form. The reason for the omission 
is that Senate joint resolution 40 is really not a joint resolution at 
all. Joint resolutions are signed by the President. Resolution 40 
was not so signed, because the Constitution provides that Congress 
alone shall propose amendments of the Constitution to the States 
for ratification by the Legislatures. The newly proposed amend- 
ment seeks to so change the Constitution as to remove the objection 
raised by the Supreme Court to the income tax contained in the 
Wilson tariff law passed in 1S94. It is the first amendment of the 
Constitution since the war amendments of more than 40 years ago. 
It will be printed in the forthcoming volume of the Session laws 
of the 61st Congress, 1st session, and also in the Statutes at large, 
vol. 36, but in a class by itself, not as a law or joint resolution. 

The new amendment will, if ratified by three-fourths of the States, 
be Article 16 of Amendments, and read thus : "Article XVI. The 
Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, 
from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the 
several States and without regard to any census, or enumeration."

Topographic sheets 

Note. — The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the 
United States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected with- 
out reference to political divisions, and are designated by some promi- 
nent town or natural feature found on them. Three scales are used. 
1 : 62,500. 1 : 125,000, and 1 : 250.000. These correspond, approxi- 
mately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch on the map. 
The size, unless otherwise Liven, is about 17.5 inches in height by 11.5 
to 16 inches in width, exclusive of the margin, the width varying with 
the latitude. A description of the topographic map is printed on the 
reverse of each sheet. 

About one-third of the area of the country, excluding outlying pos- 
sessions, has been mapped, nearly every State being represented. Mas- 
sachusetts. Connecticut. Rhode Island. New Jersey, and the District of 
Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular size are sold 
by the Survey at 5c. each ; but in lots of 100 or more copies, whether 
of the same sheet or of different sheets, the price is 3c. each. In no 
case can orders be filled at the wholesale rate unless the sum remitted 
solely for topographic maps amounts to at least $3.00.

General Information 

The Superintendent of Documents is authorized to sell at cost 
any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not 
otherwise provided for. Only one copy can be sold to the same 
person, excepting Members of Congress, or to libraries or schools. 

Documents can not be supplied by this Office free to individuals, 
nor can they be forwarded in advance of payment. 

Documents entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the 
Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C, are indicated 
by a star (*) preceding the price named. A dagger (t) indicates 
that application should be made to the Department, Bureau, or 
Division issuing the document, a double dagger (t) indicates that 
the document is not obtainable, and whenever additional informa- 
tion concerning the method of procuring a document seems neces- 
sary it will be found under the name of the Bureau. The Senate 
and House documents and reports are issued in limited editions and, 
unless otherwise indicated, may be obtained only through Members 
of Congress. 

Read carefully the instructions " How to remit," found at the 
bottom of the next page. 

The accumulation of publications in this Office amounts to several 
millions, of which about 700,000 are assorted, forming the sales 
stock, and covering nearly every important Department, Bureau, 
and series. Many rare books are included, but under the law all 
must be sold " at cost," regardless of their age or scarcity. Of many 
of the most valuable works only one or two copies remain. 

In ordering, it should be borne in mind that most of the books 
have been in stock some time and are apt to be shop-worn. In 
filling orders, however, the best copy available is sent. 

Lists on various subjects will be issued from time to time for free 
distribution. No generp.l price-list of public documents is at pres- 
ent available, but lists on special subjects will be furnished on 
application.

Back numbers can not be supplied. Please notify the Superintend- 
ent of Documents of any change in address.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CARDS 

Numbers to be used in ordering the L. C. catalogue cards will be 
found at tbe end of the titles of the more important monographic 
documents. The figure following the card number (separated from 
it by a slanting line) indicates the number of cards required for 
entries suggested (title entry not included) on the cards. The price 
of the cards is 2c. for the first card and |c. for each additional card 
for the same title ordered at the same time. Remittances should be 
made to the Librarian of Congress. Cards can not be furnished by

issued separately each quarter and cumulates for half-yearly periods. 
That is. the September number of the Index indexes the Monthly 
catalogue for July. August, and September, the December number 
will be an index to the Monthly catalogue for July to December, the 
March number will be an index to the Monthly catalogue for Janu- 
ary to March, and the June number will be the Index for the fiscal 
year 1910. Persons desiring to bind the catalogue at the end of the 
year should be careful to retain the numbers received monthly, as 
duplicate numbers can not be supplied.

Notes of General Interest 

circular 85 of the Experiment Stations Office, Agriculture Dept., 
takes up a most interesting subject, namely, Farmers' institutes for 
women. Farmers' institutes for men have been carried on for years 
by both Federal and State departments of agriculture, but it took 
a good while for the authorities to see the propriety of trying to 
do for women in the home what so long had been done for men in 
the held. Now, however, the work has been taken up earnestly 
and actively. Twenty-one States carried on such institutes during 
190S under State authority. As it is estimated that there are 
13,000,000 women in the farming districts, the field for institute 
work in domestic science and household art is wide. Perhaps some 
reader may not know just what a farmers' institute is. It is simply 
another name for a free school. The expert teachers, employed 
usually by the State departments of agriculture, go about from one 
community to another, holding short terms of school, one, two, or 
three days and sometimes longer, delivering lectures, giving demon- 
strations of the latest improvements in farming methods, and an- 
swering all answerable questions that the assembled farmers may 
propound. They get around again to the same communities at least 
once every year, and sometimes twice or even oftener. Farmers' 
institutes are now organized in every State and nearly every Terri- 
tory. Though their great value is recognized, expert writers on the 
subject hold that they are capable of much greater development and 
wiiler influence. The establishment of institutes for women seems 
to be a long step toward the complete development of the institute 
system. 

Bulletin 60, Soils Bureau, Agriculture Dept, is entitled Prelimi- 
nary report on the Volusia soils, their problems and management. 
and is a most important and interesting inquiry. The word Volusia 
is not a technical term for a variety of soil, but is the name of a 
small village in Chautauqua County, western New York, where Hie 
inquiry into the character and condition of the hill soils of deterio- 
rated or abandoned farms began. Of these lands, once fertile but 
now almost nonproductive, the author of Bulletin GO, Mr. M. Earl 
Carr, estimates that there are more than 10,000,000 acres in New 
York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and he finds that the fault lies with 
the farmer rather than with the farms. Their redemption is con- 
sidered feasible. 

Among the publications of the month are several uncovered 
pamphlets, each containing a report or special article reprinted 
from the Annual report of the Office of Experiment Stations for 

139 



140 October, 1909 

1908. Some of the titles are (abbreviated) : Animal nutrition 
problems ; Farmers' institutes, 190S ; Alluvial lands of lower 
Mississippi Valley and their drainage. Many papers of similar 
interest are published in each issue of tbis valuable annual report. 

Bulletin 84, Entomology Bureau, has a title which may have a 
taking sound for both apple-growers and apple-eaters, namely, 
Fumigation of apples for San Jose scale. 

Circular 6, Publications Division, describes the publications of 
the Agriculture Department and tells how they are distributed. 

From the United States Geological Survey comes a new price list 
of the topograpbic maps and folios and the geologic folios. The topo- 
graphic sheets now number 184S. 

The Naval medical bulletin, a quarterly magazine issued from the 
Medicine and Surgery Bureau, Navy Dept., of which the Surgeon- 
General, U. S. N., is chief, is growing in size as well as in interest. 
No. 4 of vol. 3 is the current number. 

Two new editions of General Land Office circulars are entitled 
Unappropriated public lands of the United States and Desert land 
laws. 

Index-catalogue of the library of the Surgeon-General's Office, 2d 
series, vol. 14, Prussian-Rzehak, is entered in this Catalogue, and 
copies are also oh sale by the Superintendent of Documents at $2.00 
each. 

Various reports by special agents and consular officers have been 
collected and printed in one pamphlet under the title The jute indus- 
try. The Manufactures Bureau, by which this compilation is pub- 
lished, is especially interested in giving it a wide circulation because 
of the fact that this country imports jute products from Scotland 
and other countries to three times the value of our own manufactures 
of this fiber. 

Opinions of the assistant Attorneys-General for the Post-Office 
Department, volumes 3 and 4, covering the periods Mar. 18, 1892- 
Oct. 24, 1905, and Oct. 25, 1905-June 26, 1908, are now issued. 

The new List of wireless telegraph stations of the world, corrected 
to Sept. 1, 1909, including shore stations, merchant vessels, revenue 
cutters, and vessels of the United States Navy, can be had only 
from the Superintendent of Documents, price 15c. 

American nautical almanac, 1910, has been issued in a 2d edition 
and is now in plentiful supply in the stock of the Superintendent 
of Documents. Paper covers, price 30 cents. 

Session laws, 61st Congress, 1st session (Statutes passed at 1st 
session of 61st Congress), is now issued in paper covers, and sold 
by the Superintendent of Documents at 50 cents a copy. It con- 
tains the new United States tariff, the Philippine tariff, the Census 
law, and so forth. 

Tests of metals. 1908, is just issued and offered for sale by the 
Superintendent of Documents. Paper, $1.00; cloth, $1.25. 

The New York Sun has this to say of a new public document: 
" Rich spoils of folklore have been gathered by Mr. John R. Swanton 



October, 1909 141 

from the Indians at Sitka and Wrangel. They are gathered in 
' Tlingit Myths and Texts,' forming Bulletin 39 of the Bureau of 
American Ethnology (Government Printing Office, Washington). 
No less than 106 stories were taken down in English, many quite 
long, and of eighteen of these the Tlingit text is printed with a word 
for word translation. Besides these legends Mr. Swanton secured 
speeches at a tobacco feast, speeches at the erection of a pole for the 
dead, and graphophone records of 103 songs, the words of which are 
here printed. It is a book tbat all interested in Indian folklore 
will want." 

EXPERIMENT STATION RECORD 

The new plan of publishing the Record in semi-annual volumes, 
each volume containing two special or abstract numbers in addition 
to the regular monthly numbers, has resulted in a notation that may 
confuse subscribers and librarians if not explained. Two numbers 
dated September, 1909, have been issued, one numbered vol. 21, no. 3, 
the other vol. 21, no. 4. The latter has on its cover in brackets the 
words [Abstract number] and is entirely filled with abstracts of 
recent publications, American and foreign, relating to one or more 
agricultural and economic subjects, of which such a wide range is 
treated by the Record. No. 3 is the regular monthly number, and 
carries the editorial matter of the month, which for this number is 
limited to a single article. Frequently the editorials are more 
numerous and on occasion are supplemented by special articles by 
expert authorities. A similar abstract number may be expected in 
December, which presumably will be numbered 8. The abstract 
numbers are paged continuously with the regular numbers, so that 
when the covers are taken off and the volume bound no line of 
distinction between the numbers will be visible. 

It has been decided to publish for each semi-annual volume a 
subject index and a name index, in one pamphlet. There will con- 
sequently be 9 pamphlet numbers in each volume, or 18 numbers in 
the year. 

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION REPORTS 

Vol. 16 is now current and is being supplied by the Superintendent 
of Documents at $1.50 in buckram and $2.00 in full law sheep. It 
includes the decisions of April, May, and June, 1909, with index. 
The index is also issued separately in a pamphlet. 

LAND OFFICE CIRCULARS 

Some of the smaller publications of the General Land Office, 
known in that office as circulars, which are supplied free by the 
Land Office and its branches, are also supplied to the Superintend- 
ent of Documents for sale at the cost of printing to those who may 
find it more convenient and satisfactory to get these documents, as 
they do others, through this office. These small documents are usu- 
ally sold at Oc. a copy. 



142 October, 1909 

MISSISSIPPI WATERWAY REPORT 

H. doc. GO, 61st Congress, 1st session, is a Report by a special board 
of engineers on a survey of tbe Mississippi River from St. Louis, 
Mo., to its mouth with a view to obtaining a channel 14 feet deep. 
When finally published, the document, which has 532 pages of text, 
will also have a number of illustrations. These have not yet been 
received, and publication is delayed while awaiting them. In the 
meantime, however, to meet urgent demands for the report, the 600 
copies composing the " up number " have been released and sent to 
the Capitol for distribution on the order of Senators and Representa- 
tives. These 600 copies are not intended as a distinct edition, but 
libraries into which they may come will necessarily so class them, 
as a book with illustrations and a book without them cannot be 
considered identical copies. 

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD 

Vol. 44 of the Record, containing verbatim reports of the tariff 
debates which made the 1st session of the 61st Congress so absorb- 
ingly interesting to the country, has now been issued in its perma- 
nent form. It fills six great quarto books, five of which are known as 
" parts," parts 1-5 containing the proceedings, the 6th book being 
an index volume. The several parts making up vol. 44 are for sale 
by the Superintendent of Documents at the following prices : Pt. 1, 
$1.75; pt. 2, $2.00; pt. 3, $1.75; pt. 4, $1.75; pt. 5, $1.65; index, $1.65. 

JOURNAL OF THE UNITED STATES ARTILLERY 

This bi-monthly magazine, issued for nearly 17 years past from 
the Artillery School Press (now the Coast Artillery School Press) 
at Fort Monroe, Va., has puzzled the Documents Office to establish 
its status as either a public document or a private publication. 
The Superintendent of Documents is required to enter in the official 
catalogues all public documents of the United States, and is not 
authorized to catalogue any others. Usually status as a document 
is determined by the answer to the question whether or not it is 
printed at Government cost and by authority of a qualified Govern- 
ment official. This magazine is printed at a Government press and 
published under the supervision of a Government board, these 
facts appearing in plain print on its title page, and this supervision 
having been directed by tbe War Department in General order 181, 
issued Oct. 20, 1906. These are characteristics of a public docu- 
ment. On the other hand, the acting editor gives assurance that 
" the Journal has always been considered a private publication," 
and each number has been copyrighted. The Act of Jan. 12, 1S95. 
provides that public documents shall not be copyrighted. The 
Copyright Office has declined to pass an opinion upon the status of 
the Journal, saying that its function is merely to record claims to 
copyright, not to guarantee such claims or decide knotty points. All 
of this information still leaves it somewhat in doubt as to who is 



October, 1909 143 

to enforce the law which declares that public documents shall not 
be copyrighted, and also leaves the Superintendent of Documents in 
as much doubt as ever concerning the document status of the 
Journal of the United States Artillery. The entry for the Journal 
will however be omitted from the catalogues published by the 
Documents Office. 

MONTHLY CATALOGUE INDEX 

The first number of the separately printed, quarterly, cumulative 
index to the Monthly catalogue of United States public documents, 
bearing date September, 1909, was issued in October. This is the 
form of index unanimously approved and desired by the American 
Library Association, as determined at its meeting held in June, 1909. 
The chief merit of this form over the monthly form printed with 
the catalogues is that it permits of an earlier issue of the Monthly 
catalogues, and is also more economical, because requiring a smaller 
number of cumulations. That the Monthly catalogue is hardly 
usable without some kind of a cumulative index has been pretty 
positively determined by the experiments that have been tried in its 
various forms of publication. 

CONSULAR REPORTS, ANNUAL SERIES 

This series of pamphlets has been discontinued. It was not made 
up of independent publications, but of reports written for the annual 
volume of Commercial relations, 1907, and printed in advance to 
make the information earlier available. Commercial relations, 1907, 
being now complete (though not yet issued), no occasion exists 
for further issues of the Consular reports, annual series. 

The Manufactures Bureau has planned to increase the value of 
the annual volume of Commercial relations by making its issue much 
earlier than hitherto. This plan has been carried out so success- 
fully with the volume for 190S that it is about ready to go to the 
printer, and will follow up the 1907 edition much more closely than 
these annual issues usually follow each other. Both 1907 and 190S 
will be in two volumes. 

SENATE PRECEDENTS 

This important work, compiled by Henry H. Gilfry, chief clerk of 
the Senate, and issued under the title Precedents, decisions on 
points of order, with phraseology, in the United States Senate from 
the First Congress to end of the Sixtieth Congress— 17S9-1909, has 
had some vicissitudes in its document edition. It was first listed 
as S. doc. 537, 60th Congress, 1st session, being the last Senate docu- 
ment listed for that session, and estimated to make 50 pages. On 
that estimate it was scheduled to be bound in vol. 33, Senate docu- 
ments, with 19 other small documents. The 19 were printed and 
received months ago, but 537 never came, and vol. 33 was withheld 
from the binders to await its coming. Finally, and very recently, 
33142— No. 178—09 2 



144 October, 1909 

came along a substantial volume of 581 pages, bearing tbe title 
previously assigned to S. doc. 537. Tbis started tbe Documents 
Office upon a more active inquiry for the missing no. 537, resulting 
in tbe information tbat there is no S. doc. 537, the compilation con- 
cerning the Senate precedents which was at first listed for pub- 
lication under that number having been switched over to the 61st 
Congress, 1st session, and printed as S. doc. 129 of that session. 
The entry for this publication appears in the Monthly catalogue for 
August, 1909. page 78. 

It appears that when, after unexpected delays, this large volume 
came to the proper place for listing as a Senate document, it was 
not remembered that it had already been assigned a number as a 
small pamphlet, and another number was given it. 

As 537 would have been the last numbered Senate document for 
the 60th Congress, 1st session, and as under recent legislation the 
documents are numbered consecutively through a whole Congress 
instead of through each session, the first Senate document for the 
60th Congress, 2d session, was numbered 53S, and that and all the 
other documents of that session have been printed under a consecu- 
tive numbering beginning at that point. There is therefore a hiatus 
between the two sessions which it is not now possible to bridge. 
Librarians and others interested will therefore take notice that the 
series of Senate documents of the 60th Congress, 1st session, ends 
with no. 536, and that the series for the 2d session of the same 
Congress begins with no. 538, and that the 537 which should come 
between them does not exist. 

COLONEL DODGE'S JOURNAL 

In the 24th Congress, 1st session, Feb. 29, 1836. the Senate or- 
dered the printing as a document, and also 500 additional copies, of 
Col. Henry Dodge's report of an expedition into the Indian country 
in 1835, in command of a squadron of dragoons about 120 in number, 
marching from Fort Leavenworth to the Rocky Mountains. The 
journal was printed as S. doc. 209, and is listed as bound in vol. 3, 
S. docs., 24th Cong., 1st sess., serial no. 281. 

By some fatality doc. 209 has been omitted from several copies 
of vol. 3, and probably from most of them. It is not in the copy in 
the Public Documents Library in the Office of the Superintendent 
of Documents, nor in a duplicate copy in the same office. Two 
copies in the Library of Congress, two copies in the State Depart- 
ment Library, and one copy in the Justice Department Library are 
also without doc. 209. Tbe only copy of vol. 3, S. docs., 24-1, con- 
taining this doc. that this office has certain information of is the 
one in the Boston Public Library. This copy of doc. 209 has 38 
pages, the imprint of Gales & Seaton. and the following title: 
" Report of the Secretary of War, in compliance with a resolution 
of tlic Senate, transmitting a report of the expedition of the dra- 
goons, under the command of Colonel Henry Dodge, to the Rocky 
Mountains, during the summer of 1S35,'' etc. 



October, 1909 145 

The same report was printed in the same Congress as a House 
document (24-1, Ex. doc. 181, in vol. 4, serial 289), under the title 
Colonel Dodge's journal, 5000 additional copies having been or- 
dered. It was printed by Blair & Rives, has one page less than 
S. doc. 209, and one map more, the map marked " B " being missing 
from the Boston Public Library's copy of S. doc. 209. The two 
reports are, however, essentially the same. Owing perhaps to the 
fact that the House printed 5000 additional copies, and the Senate 
but 500, doc. 181 is not reported as missing from any copies of 
serial 289. 

If any library to which these lines come may chance to have a 
copy of S. doc. 209, 24-1, or of serial 281 containing doc. 209, which 
it can possibly part with, the Public Documents Library will be 
glad to accept the same and to reciprocate in any feasible and 
agreeable documentary way that may be proposed. The " sheep 
set " in the Public Documents Library is so nearly complete that 
it is worth the while not only of that library but of all libraries to 
assist it to entire completeness. It is to the interest of every library 
to have some one place where all the documents of the Congres- 
sional series may be found.

of the Coast and Geodetic Survey are sold at the office of the Survey 
in Washington, and also by one or more sales agents in each of the 
important American seaports.

Topographic sheets 

Note, The Geological Survey is making a topographic map of the 

United States. The sheets of which it is composed are projected with- 
out reference to political divisions, and are designated by some promi- 
nent town or natural feature found on them. Three scab's are used. 
I : 02,500, 1 : 125,000, and 1 : 250,000. These correspond, approxi- 
mately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and 4 miles to 1 linear inch on the map. 
The size, unless otherwise given, is aboul 17. .~i inches in height by 11.5 
to 16 inches in width, exclusive Of the margin, the width varying with 
the latitude 1 . A description of the topographic map is printed on the 
reverse Of each sheet . 

More I ban one (bird of the area of the country, excluding outlying 
possessions, has been mapped, nearly every Stale being represented. 
Massachusetts. Connecticut, Rhode Island. New Jersey, and the District 
of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular size are sold 
by the Survey at 5c. each: but in bits of loo or more copies, whether 
or the same sheet or of different sheets, the price is 3c. each. In no 
ease can orders bo filled at the wholesale rate unless the sum remitted 
solel] for topographic maps amounts to at least $3.00.

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION 

Note. — In its latest price-list the Smithsonian Institution publishes 
this note: "The publications of the Smithsonian Institution are: 1, Con- 
tributions to knowledge ; 2, Miscellaneous collections ; 3, Annual re- 
ports ; 4, Special publications. No sets of these are for sale or dis- 
tribution, as most of the volumes are out of print. The volumes of 
Contributions and of Miscellaneous collections are distributed only to 
public libraries and to learned institutions and societies in this country 
and abroad. A small edition of the papers in these two series is printed 
separately for sale or exchange. The Smithsonian reports are regu- 
larly distributed by the Institution to libraries throughout the world, 
and only a limited number of the volumes remains to supply demands 
from other sources. No general mailing-list of individuals is main- 
tained. The reports can be had by purchase from the Superintendent 
of Documents. Washington, D. C. The papers printed in the annual 
reports are published separately for free distribution. Publications 
should be ordered by the serial number. Remittances should be made 
payable to ' Smithsonian Institution." An application from a library 
should state the number of volumes in the library and the date of estab- 
lishment, and have the endorsement of a Member of Congress." The 
annual reports are the only Smithsonian publications that are regularly 
issued as public documents. All the others are paid for from the 
private funds of the Institution.

Explanation 



Words and figures inclosed in brackets [] are given for informa- 
tion, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications cata- 
logued. When size is not given, octavo is to be understood. Size of 
maps is measured from outer edge of border, excluding margin. The 
dates, including day, month, and year, given with Senate and House 
documents and reports, are the dates on which they were ordered to 
be printed. Usually the printing promptly follows the ordering, 
but various causes sometimes make delays. When Congress and 
session are not given with the numbers of Senate and House docu- 
ments and reports, 61st Congress, 1st session, is to be understood.

General Information 

The Superintendent of Documents is authorized to sell at cost 
any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not 
otherwise provided for. Only one copy can be sold to the same 
person, excepting Members of Congress, or to libraries or schools. 

Documents can not be supplied by this Office free to individuals, 
nor can they be forwarded in advance of payment. 

Documents entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the 
Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C, are indicated 
by a star (*) preceding the price named. A dagger (f) indicates 
that application should be made to the Department, Bureau, or 
Division issuing the document, a double dagger (t) indicates that 
the document is not obtainable, and whenever additional informa- 
tion concerning the method of procuring a document seems neces- 
sary it will be found under the name of the Bureau. The Senate 
and House documents and reports are issued in limited editions and, 
unless otherwise indicated, may be obtained only through Members 
of Congress. 

Read carefully the instructions " How to remit," found at the 
bottom of the next page. 

The accumulation of publications in this Office amounts to several 
millions, of which about 700,000 are assorted, forming the sales 
stock, and covering nearly every important Department, Bureau, 
and series. Many rare books are included, but under the law all 
must be sold " at cost," regardless of their age or scarcity. Of many 
of the most valuable works only one or two copies remain. 

In ordering, it should be borne in mind that most of the books 
have been in stock some time and are apt to be shop-worn. In 
filling orders, however, the best copy available is sent. 

Lists on various subjects will be issued from time to time for free 
distribution. No general price-list of public documents is at pres- 
ent available, but lists on special subjects will be furnished on 
application. 

MONTHLY CATALOGUE DISTRIBUTION 

The Monthly catalogue is sent to each Senator, Representative, 
Delegate, and officer in Congress, to designated depositories and 
State and Territorial libraries, to substantially all Government 
authors, and to as many school, college, and public libraries as the 
limited edition will supply. 

Subscription price to individuals, $1.10 a year, including indexes. 
Back numbers can not be supplied. Please notify the Superintend- 
ent of Documents of any change in address.

180 November, 1909 

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CARDS 

Numbers to be used in ordering the L. C. catalogue cards will be 
found at the end of the titles of the more important monographic 
documents. The figure following the card number (separated from 
it by a slanting line) indicates the number of cards required for 
entries suggested (title entry not included) on the cards. The price 
of the cards is 2c. for the first card and £c. for each additional card 
for the same title ordered at the same time. Remittances should be 
made to the Librarian of Congress. Cards can not be furnished by 
the Superintendent of Documents. 

CUMULATIVE INDEX 

Beginning with July, 1909, the Index to the Monthly catalogue is 
issued separately each quarter and cumulates for half-yearly periods. 
That is, the September number of the Index indexes the Monthly 
catalogue for July, August, and September, the December number 
will be an index to the Monthly catalogue for July to December, the 
March number will be an index to the Monthly catalogue for Janu- 
ary to March, and the June number will be the Index for the fiscal 
year 1910. Persons desiring to bind the catalogue at the end of the 
year should be careful to retain the numbers received monthly, as 
duplicate numbers can not be supplied. 

HOW TO REMIT 

Remittances for the documents marked with a star (*) should be 
made to the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C, 

by postal money order, express order, or New York draft. Currency 
may be sent at owner's risk. Canadian postal notes will be accepted 
only when the name of the issuing office is plainly stamped on the 
face of the note. If postage stamps are pasted on, the note will be 
returned. 

Postage stamps, foreign money, uncertified checks, defaced or 
slide coins will positively not be accepted. 

No charge is made for postage on documents forwarded to points 
in the United States, Guam, Hawaii, Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, 
or to Canada, Cuba, or Mexico. To other countries the regular rate 
of postage is charged, and remittances must cover such postage. 



Notes of General Interest 

Geological Survey Bulletin 392 is of present-day practicality. 
Under the title Commercial deductions from comparisons of gasoline 
and alcohol tests on internal-combustion engines, it tabulates and 
discusses 2000 tests made in Government plants at Norfolk, Va., and 
St. Louis, Mo. 

Affairs in the Kongo, 61st Congress, 1st session, Senate doc. 147, 
is a compilation of correspondence in the State Department, trans- 
mitted by Secretary Knox, " in view of the general public interest in 
the subject." 

The Navy and Marine Corps list and directory for November, 
1909, can be obtained only from the Superintendent of Documents 
at 10c. single copy, and $1.00 for yearly subscription. 

Another contribution to the great and growing mass of Alaskan 
literature is Professional paper 64 of the United States Geological 
Survey, which describes the physiography, glacial geology, and areal 
geology of the Yakutat Bay region. 

Farmers' bulletin 380 is a compend of the latest information con- 
cerning the loco-weed disease, which is such a plague to the stock 
growers of the Western States. 

A report on the feasibility and advisability of some policy to 
inaugurate a system of rifle practice throughout the public schools 
of the country is all of the title of a brief report signed by Generals 
Wingate and Critchfield, in which it is recommended that schoolboys 
of 13 and upward be. taught marksmanship. This is one of the 
public questions which seem to have two sides and discussion may 
be expected* to follow this publication. The report is made to the 
Rifle Practice Promotion Board. 

Labor Bureau Bulletin 82, dated May, 1909, now issued, contains 
an important paper of 168 pages, by Frederick L. Hoffman, under 
the title Mortality from consumption in occupations exposed to 
municipal and general organic dust. This is the report often spoken 
of as " consumption in the dusty trades." 

Labor Bureau Bulletin 83, the latest one issued, has a special 
article on the women's trade union movement in Great Britain. 

The 7th edition of Immigration laws and regulations, of July 1, 
1907, approved Oct. 7, 1909, has been issued. It contains a new 
rule, no. 48, and amendments to three other rules. 

The Quartermaster-General of the Army has issued a small 
brochure on the Stars and stripes, giving the history of the national 
flag, the forms in which it is now made, the uses to which it is put, 
and how to make it.

182 November, 1909 

The Commissioner of Labor has issued, and will also include in 
his annual report, a compilation of the Laws relating to compensa- 
tion for industrial accidents in foreign countries, thus affording 
opportunity for comparison with our own recent national legislation 
on the same subject. 

Uniform system of accounts for gas corporations and electric 
corporations in the District of Columbia, as prescribed by the Inter- 
state Commerce Commission, and issued by the Statistics and 
Accounts Bureau, has also on its cover the words M First issue." 
The implication is clear that further information on the same 
subject is to be forthcoming. 

Forestry in nature study is the title of a new special circular 
issued by the Experiment Stations Office, for the benefit of teachers 
of nature study in the younger grades of the public schools. 

The annual report of the executive committee of the Board of 
Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, 1909, contains the corre- 
spondence and proceedings concerning Col. Roosevelt's African 
expedition. It appears that the funds of the Smithsonian are not 
depleted in any way by the expedition. Col. Roosevelt pays his 
own expenses and those of his son, while the cost of the scientific 
part of the enterprise is borne by generous friends of the Institu- 
tion. The report states that the contributions made to the National 
Museum by the expedition are worth thousands of dollars. 

Chemistry Bureau Circular 16, revised, is a new list of the offi- 
cials charged with the enforcement of the food laws in the United 
States and Canada. 

There is a new index to Farmers' bulletins, indexing numbers 
326-350. 

The chinch bug has lately been making alarming demonstrations. 
Entomology Bureau Circular 113 tells about it. 

Forest Service Bulletin 78, Wood preservation in the United 
States, tells how the life of wood may be prolonged and sketches 
the general principle of wood preservation and its status in the 
United States at the present time. 

The annual report of the president of Howard University for 

1909 shows that this institution for the education of colored people, 
located in Washington, has 1,091 students, coming from 34 States 
and Territories and from other islands and countries as follows : 
Africa, 4; British West Indies, 60; Canada, 1; Haiti, 1; India, 1; 
Panama, 1 : Porto Rico, 4 : Santo Domingo, 1 ; South America, 7. 
The University graduated 128 students in 1909. 

The 2d edition of American ephemeris and nautical almanac for 

1910 has been issued, and is sold by the Superintendent of Docu- 
ments at $1.00 a copy in cloth binding. 

Farmers' bulletin 375 is another work of Mrs. Mary H. Abel, 
who has written for the Agriculture Department several useful 
publications on various branches of household economy. Her 
present subject is Care of food in the home. She presents in 
popular form not only the results of practical experience and of 



November, 1909 183 

special tests made for the uses of this bulletin, but also the latest 
results of chemical and bacteriological research. The chances are 
that this will prove to be one of the most popular and useful of 
the whole extensive Farmers' bulletin series, now numbering almost 
400 separate publications. 

The National Monetary Commission has printed a list of the publi- 
cations relating to the subject it has under consideration. Some 
of these are already in press, others to be printed later. In all 
fifty-two volumes are thus listed. 

A third edition has been issued of The army horse in accident 
and disease. This manual was prepared for the use of students in 
the Army Training School for Farriers and Horseshoers, but it 
has proved to be very popular with civilian horse owners. It is 
sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 50c. a copy. 

A PATRIOTIC PUBLICATION 

Mr. Sonneck, chief of the Division of Music in the Library of 
Congress, has prepared, and the Library of Congress has published, 
a volume relating to the four most popular American patriotic 
songs, Star-spangled banner, Hail Columbia, America, and Yankee 
Doodle, which will be sold by the Superintendent of Documents, 
cloth bound, at 85c. a copy. 

It gives the various versions, of both text and music, which 
have attended the historic evolution of these songs, with critical 
examination of the literature and evidence relating to them, pre- 
senting also numerous facsimile productions of early texts. 

It is valuable as a record, entertaining as literature, and inspiring 
in its appeal to patriotic sentiment. 

BLUE BOOK OF 1909 

The Official register of the public service of the United States, 
issued in every odd-numbered year and popularly known as the 
" blue book," has been issued for 1909. Volume 1, containing the 
names, pay, etc., of the members of all branches of the public 
service except the postal service, is sold by the Superintendent of 
Documents at $1.25 a copy. Volume 2, containing the information 
concerning the postal service, will be sold at the same price. 

MINE RESCUE WORK 

The United States Geological Survey has issued a leaflet descrip- 
tive of the mine rescue work which it is carrying on at its mine- 
accidents station in Pittsburg. The work began in July, 190S, an 
appropriation of $150,000 then becoming available for this purpose. 
Mine-accident stations have also been established at the University 
of Illinois and at Knoxville, Tenn. Others will be established. 

A part of this work is the testing of explosives, so that those least 
likely to ignite poisonous gases or coal dust may be used. Another 
is the training of rescue corps, who by wearing oxygen helmets and 
carrying portable electric lamps can enter mines filled with poison- 



184 November, 1909 

ous gases. Each rescue corps carries a resuscitating cabinet, which 
consists of cylinders charged with oxygen, a flexible breathing bag, 
a flexible tube, and a hood that fits over the mouth and nostrils of 
the miner who may have been asphyxiated by the gases evolved by 
a mine explosion and whose resuscitation the members of the rescue 
strive to effect. 

In view of the fact that the percentage of miners killed is larger 
in this country than in any other, being from two to four times as 
great as in any European country, the importance of this effort of a 
Government bureau to put mine rescue-work on a scientific ba-sis is 
evidently great. 

CONFERENCE OF GOVERNORS 

Proceedings of a conference of governors in the White House, 
Washington, D. C, May 13-15, 1908, listed in Monthly catalogue, 
April, 1909, p. 570, is a public document of nearly 500 pages, in cloth 
binding, sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 75c. a copy. 
The November number of the Journal of political economy, issued 
from the University of Chicago press, reviewed this document in the 
following words : "A complete verbatim report of the proceedings 
of the important conference called by President Roosevelt to con- 
sider the question of the conservation of our natural resources is 
here made available. Some of the speeches are of permanent value, 
and if one has the patience to search he may learn many important 
facts from their perusal. But the more essential and important 
results of the conference are to be found in the crystallizing of pub- 
lic opinion and the impetus to action consequent upon the gathering, 
rather than in the record of the speeches there delivered." 

INDEX TO THE LAWS 

Index analysis of the Federal statutes, together with a table of 
repeals and amendments, listed in Monthly catalogue, October, 190S, 
p. 162, is a public document of nearly 1400 quarto pages, in buck- 
ram binding, sold by the Superintendent of Documents at $2.50 a 
copy. The November number of the American political science re- 
view, issued by Johns Hopkins University, published this review of 
the Index analysis : 

" It is a hopeful sign that the making of this index, instead of 
being treated, as is usually done, as mere clerical work, was com- 
mitted to trained and expert hands. The working out of a well- 
ordered plan of headings and subheadings involves a systematic 
analysis of the whole body of statutory material. Such an index as 
this may therefore well be looked upon as a first step in the scien- 
tific treatment of legislation. 

" It is impossible to form a judgment of the completeness or 
accuracy of an index except by long-continued tests, but a relatively 
brief period of use may give a fair idea of the general economy and 
convenience of its arrangement, and the impression produced by this 
volume is extremely favorable. 



November, L909 185 

"The elaborate system of headings, subheadings, and cross-refer- 
ences, and its use. is explained by the authors in a table of directions 
which is interspersed through the volume at irregular but frequent 

intervals. The index of the popular names of statutes which is 
placed at the end of the volume will be found a special convenience. 

"The authors are careful to warn the user against certain short- 
comings which it was found impossible to provide against. 

'• Thus, if for any purpose it is desired to make a complete list of 
all powers and duties of an office, the index will not be a complete 
guide, for where the statute has not named the officer who is to exe- 
cute its provisions, the index omits reference to any officer, though it 
may be clear within whose jurisdiction the administration or en- 
forcement of the act must fall. In adopting this course the authors 
were controlled by the principle that they should carefully avoid any- 
thing in the nature of a construction of statutes. It might have 
been the privilege of private indexers to be less scrupulous. 

"For the same reason the elaborate table of repeals and amend- 
ments at the end of the volume lays no claim to completeness; for 
implied repeals and amendments are entirely matter of construction, 
and it would require legislative authority to determine with cer- 
tainty where they occur. 

" It is very much to be hoped that the work will be continued. It 
is proposed that a second volume, when published, shall cover the 
statutes of temporary local and personal character. The student of 
Legislative history would prefer an index of the general legislation 
of the period from 1845 to 1ST:;, for which at present we have only 
the indices of the separate volumes of the statutes at large. 

" The plan for any further index has now been worked out. and 
for this .Messrs. Scott and Beaman have entitled themselves to the 
gratitude of all those who have occasion to consult Federal statutes." 

JEDIDIAH MOKSK's REPORT ON INDIAN AFFAIRS 

The Rev. Jedidiah .Morse. 1 >. I>.. was the father of Samuel Finley 
Breese Morse, founder of the American system of electro-magnetic 
telegraph. Among the numerous activities of the Rev. Jedidiah 
Morse was a vital interest in the subject of civilizing and Christian- 
izing the Indians, and in 1820 he was commissioned to make investi- 
gations the results of which were embodied in a report bearing Hie 
title, Reporl to Secretary of War on Indian affairs, comprising nar- 
rative of tour performed in summer of L820, under commission from 
President of United States for purpose of ascertaining, for use of 
Government, actual state of Indian tribes in our country. This 
report is said by Ben: Perley I'oore. in bis Descriptive catalogue of 
Governmenl publications, p. 1.49, to liave been "regarded at the time 

as the most complete and exhaustive report of the condition, num- 
bers, names, territory, and general affairs of the Indians ever made." 
In a search to ascertain its status as a public document some inter- 
esting facts have been unearthed.

186 November, 1909 

The question of civilizing the Indian by giving him an education 
which should make him self-supporting was taken up by the Gov- 
ernment as early as July 12, 1775, when the Continental Congress 
appropriated $500 for "the education of certain Indian youths at 
Dartmouth College (American archives, 4th series, v. 2, col. 1S79). 
Further provisions for education were included in Indian treaties of 
Dec. 2, 1704, and Aug. 13, 1803 (Stat. L. v. 7, p. 48, 79). Interest in 
the question was renewed soon after the War of 1812 and recom- 
mendations were made by the House Committee on Indian Affairs 
in a report of Jau. 22, 1818 (American state papers, Indian affairs, 
v. 2, p. 151). 

The first general appropriation for Indian education was made by 
act of Mar. 3, 1S19 (Stat. L. v. 3, p. 516) which authorized the 
President " in every case where he shall judge improvement in the 
habits and condition of such Indians practicable * * * to em- 
ploy capable persons of good moral character to instruct them in the 
mode of agriculture suited to their situation, and for teaching their 
children in reading, writing, and arithmetic, and performing such 
other duties as may be enjoined, according to such instructions and 
rules as the President may give and prescribe * * *." It was 
further provided by the same act that " an account of the expendi- 
ture of the money and proceedings in execution of the foregoing pro- 
visions shall be laid annually before Congress." 

On Jan. 17, 1820, a report was submitted to the House by the 
Secretary of War (American state papers, Indian affairs, v. 2, p. 
200, 201), including among other things a copy of a circular dated 
Sept. 3, 1819, which had been addressed to those who had directed 
their attention to the civilization of the Indians, the object being 
to obtain information and to disclose the views of the President. 
Correspondence with Dr. Morse followed, and under authority from 
the President, the Secretary of War in a letter dated Feb. 7, 1820 
( H. doc. 34, 17th Cong. 1st sess., serial no. 65, v. 1 ; and American 
state papers, Indian affairs, v. 2, p. 273) directed him to visit the 
various tribes and ascertain their condition from a religious, moral, 
and political point of view, and to make report with recommenda- 
tions to the War Department. This report was intended to be used 
by the Department in the future application of the fund for the 
civilization of the Indians. He was engaged in this work from the 
spring of 1820 until late in 1821. 

On Jan. 22, 1822, in response to a House resolution of Dec. 31, 
1821 (House journal, 17th Congress, 1st session, serial no. 62, p. 
102), the Secretary of War submitted a report of expenditures for 
civilization of the Indians (H. doc. 34, 17th Cong. 1st sess., serial 
no. 65, v. 1; and American state papers, Indian affairs, v. 2, p. 271). 
This report shows that Dr. Morse received on Feb. 12, 1S20, the 
sum of $500 toward the expense of his journey, and on Dec. 22, 
1820, a further payment of $278. 

It is interesting to note that on the day preceding the submittal 
of the above report, a resolution had been submitted (House jour- 



November, 1909 187 

nal, 17th Congress, 1st session, serial no. 62, p. 171) calling on the 
President for information concerning any agent who may have been 
employed by him to visit the Indian tribes, and for the report of 
such agent. This resolution was agreed to on Jan. 22, 1S22, and at 
some time between this date and Feb. 8, 1822, Morse's report was 
submitted to the House as indicated by the last paragraph of a 
War Department report submitted Feb. 11, 1822 (H. doc. 59, 17th 
Cong. 1st sess., serial no. 66 ; and American state papers, Indian 
affairs, v. 2, p. 275). 

About a month later, Mar. 5, 1S22, a resolution was agreed to in 
the House (House journal, 17th Congress, 1st session, serial no. 62, 
p. 316) giving Rev. Jedidiah Morse leave to withdraw his report 
and the accompanying documents. Dr. Morse himself in the intro- 
duction to his report states that it was " at my request returned for 
the purpose of completing and publishing it under my own inspec- 
tion." The book was printed in New Haven, 1822, the report proper 
covering 96 pages, and the appendix thereto, 400 additional pages; 
it is " illustrated by a map of the United States, ornamented by a 
correct portrait of a Pawnee Indian," the son of Old Knife. 

The publication is not in the Congressional set, and so far as 
known the New Haven print is the only form in which it appeared. 
Although not issued by a Government printer, there is sufficient 
justification for considering this a public document in the broadest 
acceptation of that term.
