Notes of General Interest The 1912 edition of the Digest of decisions relating to national bunks is now on sale. In cloth, 65 cents. The 1911 Annual report of the commissioner of education, v. 2, p. 709, says : " The expenses of public schools in the nation as a whole are three times as great as they were in 1S90 and twice as great as in 1900." This is certainly a rapid growth in expenditure, but there are many worse ways of spending public money than in expanding and improAing the schools. The Index to the Treasury decisions for the first half of the year 1912 is now ready. 5 cents. An interesting study in educational history is Bulletin 12, Series of 1912, Edu- cation Bureau, The Dutch schools of New Netherland and colonial New York. Mr. Frank Bond, chief clerk of the General Land OfBce, is the author of a recent publication of the office entitled Historical sketch of " Louisiana " and the Louisiana Purchase, with a statement of other acquisitions. The work contains 7 page-size colored maps and is sold by the Superintendent of Docu- nieiits at 10 cents. The pecan is the title of Plant Industry Bureau Bulletin 251, an illustrated pamphlet of 58 pages, giving much-called-for information concerning the favor- ite American nut. How to grow it and how to market it, the different varieties and their peculiarities, are described fully and clearly. Since Nut culture, issued by the Pomology Division in 1896, went out of print, which it did almost immediately after its publication, there has been a constant demand for books on nut growing. This demand The pecan should do much to satisfy, ]0 cents The Lowery collection, a descriptive list of maps of the Spanish possessions within the present limits of the United States, 1502-1S20, by Woodbury Lowery; edited with notes by Philip Lee Phillips, chief of the Division of Mnps and Chiirts, is a very recent publication of the Library of Congress. It is bound in cloth and sold by the Superintendent of Documents at $1. There is a new edition of the Sherman antitrust law, with amendments to date of publication, July 1, 1912. 10 cents. All of the special articles in the 1911 Yearbook of the Agriculture Department are being published in separate pamphlets. Several of them are listed in this catalogue. The titles indicate papers of value and interest. All are sold by the Superintendent of Documents at the uniform price of 5 cents. The set of books recording the proceedings of the north Atlantic coast fish- eries arbitration at The Hague in 1910, is now nearly complete. Vols. 9, 10, and 11, containing the oral arguments of the opposing counsel, are entered in this catalogue. Only the index volume remains and no date has yet been set for its issue. The references in the tables of contents of vols. 9-11 are not made to the page numbers of the American edition, but to the pages of the original print, made in Englnnd, these page numbers being inset in the text of the American edition. Special consular reports 53, issued by the Manufactures Bureau, has for subject Foreign markets for motor vehicles. Canada is our best customer for autos and the United Kingdom second, while continental Europe takes very few 5 6 July, 1912 from this side. American maimers exported 3,184 autos in 1909 and 11.803 iii 1911, valued at $12,905,049. Senate document 371, 62d Congress, 2d session, is the 14th Annual report of the patriotic society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The period covered by the report is Oct. 11, 1910, to Oct. 11, 1911. The entry for this document appears on page 888 of the June monthly catalogue. Mines Bureau Bulletin 2, revised edition of July, 1912, title North Dakota lignite as a fuel for power-plant boilers, states that the results of tests made with this abundant low-grade fuel indicate that it may be made economically useful for the production of power. This is a matter of great importance to the western country. The recently published soil survey of Bayfield area, including Bayfield and Ashland counties and the Apostle Islands, covers the most northerly territory of the State of Wisconsin. Sale price, 15 cents. Entomology Bureau Bulletin 103, issued July 13, 1912, is an exhaustive treat- ise of 250 pages and numerous illustrations on the Plum curculio, an insect pest which does not by any means confine its ravag«B to plum trees. The Bureau certifies that this creature' was not imported but is a purely American pest. Price 50 cents. House document 8.54, 62d Congress, 2d session, is a Presidential message transmitting a Eeport of the Economy and Efficiency Commission on the need for a national budget. This is an important subject which has been much con- sidei'ed by American statesmen but lins not thus f:ir been l)rouglit prominently before the general public. The facts and deductions put forward by the Com- mission should supply useful material. Stated in briefest possible form, a national budget differs from the United States Treasury Department's annual Estimate of appropriations in the fact that the budget not only shows the sinus of money that will be needed for the Government service, but also points out the most feasible and least burdensome means by which those sums may be raised, and presents to the legislative body arguments in support of the Gov- ernment's views. All great Powers except the United States have national budgets, and so do most of the smaller Powers. The first edition of Circular 34, Standards Bureau, The relation of the horse- power to the kilowatt, fixes a new standard by determining that one horsepower equals 746 watts. Experiment Stations Office Circular 117, A working erosion model for schools, prepared in cooperation with the Forest Service, is planned to aid instruction in the conservation of natural resources at the age when the human mind most readily receives impressions and most permanently retains them. Education Bureau Bulletin 16, series of 1912, The reorganized school play- ground, will be useful to thousands of school oflSeials, among whom the idea of the modern playground is spreading rapidly. Bulletin 17. same series, de- scribes the Montessori system of education, devised by Dr. Maria Montessori of Rome, Italy, and practiced by her and her assistants with a success which is attracting the interest of educators in all coimtries. Bulletin 15, same series, is no. 2 in the subseries Current educational topics. Reconnoissance soil survey of south-central Pennsylvania, just published, can be supplied by the Superintendent of Documents for 15 cents. A new law (Public 238), approved July 23, 1912. is the first fruit of the Titanic calamity and investigation. It requires that wireless telegraph appa- ratus with two operators shall be a part of the equipment of all vessels carrying 50 or more passengers on the ocean or the Great Lakes. Food inspection decision 147 excludes, on and after Oct. 1. 1912, absinth from importation or shipment in interstate commerce or being offered for sale July, 1912 7 in any Territory or tlie District of Columbia. This is said to be a favorite alcoholic drink in France and to a less extent in other countries, but its effects are believed to be very deleterious. Entomology Bureau Circular 159, Damages to the wood of fire-killed Douglas fir, and metliods of preventing losses, in western Washington and Oregon, is a revised reprint of a circular letter sent in 1909 to interested timber-land owners. It is now published as a circular to supplement Entomology Bureau Circular 127 and Forest Service Bulletin 112. This bulletin, however, has not yet been published, though the ms. has been prepared and was recently sent to the printer. The Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service, Treasury Department, has issued Hygienic Lnboratory Bulletin 56, which is a revised and enlarged edition of its Bulletin 41, Milk and its relation to the public health. There has been a large sale of the first edition of this instructive and exhaustive treatise, and there will probably be even a larger sale of the new edition, now first published and containing the results of later information and more recent research. Sold by the Superintendent of Documents at the same price as Bulletin 41, $1 in paper covers. Practically useful to those who most need help is Education Bureau Bulletin IS, series of 1912, Teaching language through agriculture and domestic science. From the Superintendent of Documents, 5 cents. Some misconceptions concerning dry farming is one of the enlightening special papers in the Yearbook of Agriculture for 1911, now reprinted in a 5 cent pamphlet known as Yearbook separate 565. It warns settlers and intending settlers against too sanguine representations as to the profits of the new methods of farming the semiarid lands which are found in the West from northern Montana to southern Texas. It declares that no system equally appli- cable to all climates and conditions has yet been discovered. The methods of tillage must be modified to suit the various localities. YearbooJv separate 576, The present outlook for irrigation farming, is a timely review of the history and prospects of a very great agricultural move- ment to which the scientific agriculturists of the United States Government are striving to give proper direction. 5 cents. Treasury Department document 2645 is entitled Bulletin relative to the pro- duction of distilled spirits. It is published by the Bureau of Internal Revenue for the information of revenue officers, and can also be supplied by the Superin- tendent of Documents at 10 cents a copy. It has 31 pages of text and several photographic plates. The Civil Service Commission's Manual of examinatipus for the fall of 1912 is out. Examinations are now held in every State and Territory in the Union. An important change has been made in the clerical examination for Department service. Stenography and typewriting have been added to the requirements. The Yearbook of the Agriculture Department, 1911, page 713. index, reports Hay, acreage, production, and value, 1911, by States, as in page 592. This infor- mation is really in page 572. NEW SERIES Water-supply paper 295 (10 cents). Gazetteer of surface waters of California : Part 1, Sacramento River basin, is the first of a series of reports prepared by the United States Geological Survey in cooperation with the California State Conservation Commission and the California State Water Commission. There will be six reports in the series and all will be published as Water- supply papers, numbered from 295 to 300. Nos. 295-297 are Gazetteers, and will alphabetically list and locate and describe all the surface 8 July, 1912 waters of Oalifornia. Nos. 298-300 will have the general title Water resources of California, and will report In the three numbers the stream measurements of (1) the Sacramento River basin, (2) the San Joaquin River basin, and (3) the Great Basin and Pacific Coast river basins, thus covering the whole State. How extensively the work of stream measurement has been carried on in the Golden Stale may be inferred from the fact that in the Sacramento River basin alone there ai-e over SO measuring stations. This accurate measuring of the volume of streams was begun in 18S8 and is still maintained. The exact knowledge thus gained concerning water resources is of the highest value. The Information Division, Immigration and Naturalization Bureau, has Issued, under the general title Agricultural opportunities, a series of seven pam- phlets descriptive of the opportunities for settlers on the land in the various States. The information given is quite detailed and is derived from the most authentic sources. The pamphlets are issued as a part of the important work in which the Information Division is engaged, that of trying to induce immi- grants to scatter out and engage in working the land instead of gathering in congested cities. Of the seven pamphlets the first five are numbered, but nos. G and 7 are printed without numbers. No. 6 gives information concerning the western States, northern group, and no. 7 does the same for the western States, southern group. The seven pamphlets, taken together, cover the whole coun- try, including Alaska and Hawaii. All are sold by the Superintendent of Docu- ments at 5 cents each. The Mines Bureau has begun a sub series of bulletins, under the general title Petroleum technology, which may run to 25 or even 50 numbers. All of these will also belong to the numbered series of Technical papers. No. 25 of these papers is also no. 1 of Petroleum technology and Technical paper 26 is Petroleum technology 2. Not all the Technical papers, however, will relate to petroleum. There will be many more of the Technical papers than of the petro- leum papers, but all of those numbered in the series entitled Petroleum technology will be Technical papers and will therefore belong to two numbered series. NEW PLAN or PUBLICATION The Labor Bureau, Commerce and Labor Department, has hitherto issued three series of publications— Annual reports. Special reports, and bi-monthly Bulletins. In a circular dated July 5, 1912, Labor Commissioner Charles P. Neill an- nounces that all of these series have been discontinued. The results of the investigations of the Labor Bureau will henceforth be published only as bul- letins, not bi-monthly bulletins but just bulletins, to be published whenever the material is ready for publication. The bulletins will usually not be of a miscellaneous character, embracing a variety of subjects as heretofore, but each bulletin will be taken up with a special subject or group of related subjects. The bulletins "will be grouped In series to enable the reader to select more readily the classes of reports which he may wish to receive." The titles of the several series in which the bulletins hereafter will be grouped are thus announced in the circular : Wholesale prices ; Retail prices and cost of living; Wages and hours of labor; Women in industry; Workmen's insurance and compensation; Industrial accidents and hygiene; Concillalion and arbitration; Labor laws of the United States, including de- cisions of courts; Foreign labor laws; Miscellaneous. The mnuerical series of the bulletins will not be interrupted. The last number of the old issue is 100, and the date May, 1912. The first number in the new set will be 101, and the series to which it is to belong will be printed July, 1912 9 on the cover. There will not, however, be any distinctive sets of numbers for the several series. All will be included under the general set of bulletin numbers. OPINIONS AND ORDER ON EXPRESS BATES Interstate Commerce Commission Opinion 1967, in the matter of express rates, practices, accounts, and revenues, will fill pages 379-541 of vol. 24, Inter- state Commerce Commission reports, yet to be published. In addition to these 162 pages there is the accompanying Order of the Com- mission, cccLxxviii (378) pages. A paper-covered volume, containing both the Opinions and the Order, 540 pages in all, is on sale by the Superintendent of Documents at 40 cents. The Order gives in detail the new rates proposed by the Commission. The Order will not be printed in the bound volume of Interstate Commerce Commission reports. CONGRESSIONAL RECORD SCGNATURE NUMBERS A change in the method of numbering the signatures in the daily issue of the Congressional record, which began in no. 202, Aug. 5, 1912, may puzzle librarians and others if not explained. Of course the consecutive numbering in the left- hand margin of the first page of each sheet of any work that is to be bound is familiar to all bookish persons. Usually it appears on pages 17, 33, and so on, at intervals of 16 pages. In the Congressional record, however, the pages so numbered are the 9th, 17th, 25th, and so on, each sheet carrying only 8 pages. Hereafter each Record signature will be twice numbered, on the first page as usual and on the last page in addition. There is a new set of signature num- bers for each daily issue, and while they appear under the new plan on the 8th, 9th, 16th, 17th, 24th, 25th, and so on of the daily issue, these are not the page numbers which are actually found, because of the fact that the daily Record is paged continuously from the first day of the session to the last. In the issue of Aug. 5 the figure 1 which is found on the lower margin of the last page of the first signature is on page 10906 of vol. 48, and the figure 2 on the first page of the second signature is on volume page 10967. On the first page of the signa- ture the daily number also appears, thus: "No. 202- -2." On the last page of each signature the number of the signature only is found. This last-page number, which is a novelty in book-work, has been added as a convenience in gathering the signatures for stitching. It is strictly a utility. There is another use for these signature numbers. The sale price of daily numbers is just equal in cents to the number of signatures, with the single ex- ception that no number is sold for less than three cents. FINANCES OF THE AFRICAN EXPEDITION In his report for the fiscal year 1910 Secretary Walcott of the Smithsonian Institution said of the African zoological expedition commanded by Col. Roose- velt, " This expedition was entirely financed from private sources through con- tributions by friends of the Smithsonian Institution." Apr. 22, 1912, Representative Gardner of Massachusetts submitted the follow- ing resolution (no. 505) to the House: "Resolved, That the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution be directed, if not incompatible with the public interest, to send to the House of Representatives a complete list of the subscriptions, if any, made by private persons to the Smithsonian Institution or to any of its officers for the expenses in connection with the African hunting trip of ex- President Roosevelt." 54707— No. 2] 1—12- 2 10 July, 1912 This was immediately referrorl to the C'ommittoe on the Lihrary and ordered to be printed. July 26, 1912, Mr. Evans of Illinois from the Committee on the Library, sub- mitted the following report (62d Congress, 2d session, House report 1071), to accompany House resolution 505 : " The Committee on the Library, having con- sidered the resolution referred to it by the House, are unanimously of the opin- ion that the doctrine of publicity controls the proposition involved in this House resolution, and further that the House hns a right, at any time, to know what donations or subscriptions ai"e being made to the Smithsonian Institution, by whom, and the amounts given, and therefore the committee do unanimously rec- ommend that the resolution do pass." The resolution and the report were referred to the House cilendar, where at the date of this writing they were still quietly reposing. CORRECTION FOB APRIL, 1012.

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 ordinarily used. 1 : 02, .500, 1 : 125,000, and 1 : 250,000. These correspond ap- proximately, to ] mile. 2 miles, and 4 njiLes to 1 linear inch, covering, respectively, average areas of 2.30, 020, and ."..700 square mili\s. For somi> areas of particular importance special large-scale maps are pulilished. The size, unless otherwise given, is about 17.5 inchesin 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. More than one-third of the area of the country, excluding outlying possessions, has been mapped, every State 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 Survev 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. California, Dry Creek quadrangle.

Public health bulletin 55 is A word to ship captains about quarantine. On the cover it carries this legend : Rats cari-y plague, mosquitoes carry yellow fever. Plague and yellow fever cause quarantine. Quarantine means expense. Ship captains, destroy your rats and mosquitoes, and not only save your owners money, but save lives. And on page 3 it carries in capital letters this variation of its theme: No rats — no plague. No mosquitoes — no yellow fever. Vaccinate and — no smallpox. Pure food, pure water, and cleanliness — no cholera. No lice — no typhus. These two legends give the substance of the book. The remainder is merely an amplification of them. The amplification is given in plain nontechnical English, describing the symptoms of the worst infections and telling the best ways to get rid of the vermin that carry them. 5 cents. Reprint 88 from the weekly Public health reports is entitled The eradication and prevention of bubonic plague. For the sake of brevity a few comprehen- sive terms are used in it. The most notable of these, " deratization,'" is de- fined "to rid a certain area of rats." Plague is declared to be "primarily a disease of rodents, and secondarily and accidentally a disease of man." The only rodents afTected thus far in this country are rats and ground squirrels. " Fleas carry it from rat to rat and from rat to man. No rodents, no plague." Entomologj- Bureau Bulletin 115 has for general title Papers on deciduous fruit insects and insecticides. It is to be published in parts. The subtitle of Part 1 is Life-history studies on the codling moth in Michigan. The price of part 1 is 15 cents. The 2Sth Annual report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, now in plate and about going to press, will contain, besides the Administra.tive report, 2 August, 1912 73 papers by Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, botb reporting researches in Arizona, the first entitled Casa Grande, the other Antiquities of the upper Verde River and Walnut Creek, and one paper by Dr. Truman Michelsou, Preliminary report on the linguistic classification of Algonquin tribes. The Geological Survey has ordered printed the unusual number of 10,000 copies of a pamphlet on The production of natural gas in 1911 (calendar year), to be later reprinted as a chapter of the Mineral resources for that year. The same number has been ordered of the chapters on Petroleum production and The stone industry for 1911. The custom of promptly sending a trained inspector to the scene of each railroad disaster for the purpose of looking into its causes and reporting thereon, and publishing his report for general information, is one of the best plans yet set afoot by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The reports thus far printed appear to be thorough-going, pointing out whether the employees are in fault because of neglect or incompetence or whether the railroad companies are in fault by supplying imperfect or obsolete or woni-out equipment or vague and indefinite rules. The disasters concerning which reports were pub- lished during August are those at Eastabuchie. Miss., ]\Lay 6, 1912 (9 killed, 56 injured), and at Bast Corning, N. Y., July 4, 1912 (39 killed, 88 injured). The language of the reports, though positive, is restrained in tone, but the photo- graphs of the wrecks are horrifying. If there is virtue in publicity, these reports should do something toward securing greater safety for the traveling public. The First annual report of the Sales Agent of the Philippine Islands has been published at Manila. Mr. G. A. O'Reilly is the Sales Agent and he has written a report of 91 pages in which are many points of interest to American readers. In his effort to find markets and make markets for Ifilipino products he has visited the United States and Europe and has come to the conclusion that the Islands must look to this country for their chief market. " Ilajidi- crafts are practically unknown as American products," he says, " while the American handicraft market is the best in the world." Philippine products are mostly baskets, hats, mats, embroidery, lace, and other like handmade articles. "The Philippine Islands," he says, "at the jn-esent time represent the most favorable home-industry field in the world." He adds that " the temperament, training, and manner of life of the Filipinos peculiarly fit them for the favorable acceptance and development of home industries. Constant attention to small details constitutes for them a most pleasing occupation." Coupling this fact with what he calls " the extravagant purchasing power and tendency of the American people and the well defined modern American revulsion in taste in favor of exiiensive handmade goods as against those of a cheaper class made by machinery," he finds a hopeful prospect for Filipino handicrafts. The so-called "Bangkok" hat for men, sold in this country, is, he says, a Filipino product known in the Islands as the " buntal " hat. Filipino basketry, he declares, is unequaled, and industrial education is the great need of the Islands. Alto- gether the first report of the Sales Agent is an interesting document. Examination papers for admission to the United States Naval Academy is the name of a Navy Department pamphlet vi^hich certifies on its title-page that it is " ])rinted for general information." No young aspirant need suppose, how- ever, that he can " cram " for an examination on this pamphlet. The questions given have all been used and will not be used again. They are of value only as giving an idea of the general character of the examinations. It does not take a long look at the questions to determine that they are " tough." - 74 August, 1912 The State Dej)artinent has very recently published Distribution of Alsop award by the Secretary of State; Opinion by Solicitor for the State Depart- ment. The so-called Alsop claim was made by the United States Government against the Government of Chile in behalf of the 'heirs of members of an Ameri- can firm which did business in Valparaiso from 1820 to 1873. The award was made in favor of the American claimants by the King of England, acting as " amiable compositeur" (friendly adjuster) and was for $906,666.78. Expenses ©f laying the case before the King, transferring the money, and sundries were $43,173.78, leaving IfsCM.-JiKl.OO to be divided among the estates of the nine original claimants, who are all dead. The distribution apparently involved much computation, tive of the estates receiving each 7^ per cent, plus 1/9 of 20i per cent, these fractions amounting in each case to $71,957.41. The other dividends vary in amount but are all fractional. A new bibliography from the Library of Congress is Select list of references on capital punishment. It has been compiled in co()peration with State and legislative reference librarians. The matter is gathered under three heads — General discussions, writings in favor of capital punishment, writings opposed to capital punishment. Both author and subject indexes are provided. Sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 10 cents. House document 827, 62d Congress, 2d session, is the Congressional edition of Public health bulletin 51, The causation and prevention of typhoid fever, with special reference to conditions observed in Yakima County, Wash. This bulletin bears date Nov. 1911, but was first actually published in Feb. 1912, and a 2d edition in July, 1912. By concurrent resolution, Congress has ordered a special edition of 50.000 copies. It is under this resolution that House docu- ment 827 is published. It is distinctively a bulletin for popular circulation. It describes in the plainest terms the methods of transmission of the typhoid parasite and the measures that should be taken to chex^k such transmission. No person of ordinary intelligence need remain in doubt about these things after reading Public health bulletin 51. Sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 20 cents. Senate simple resolution 282. agreed to Aug. 14, 1912, is quite indefinite, pro- viding merely " that the manuscript of the laws, agreements, executive orders, proclamations, etc., relating to Indian affairs, be printed as a Senate document." Though the resolution is indefinite, the action to be taken under it will be definite. The work to be published by authority of Senate resolution 282 will be a 3d volume of Kappler's Indian affairs, laws and treaties, the new com- pilation having been made by Mr. Kappler.

No sets of these are for sale or distribution, as most of the volumes are out of print. The voliunes of Con- tributions 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 pur- chase 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 establishment, and have the endorsement of a IMember of Con- gress.'' 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.

JDocument not obtainable. Explanation Words and figures inclosed in brackets [ ] are given for information, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications catalogued. 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 number of Senate and House documents and reports, 62d Congress, 2d session, is to be understood. 134 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. Documents can not be supplied by this OflBce free to individuals, nor can they be forwarded in advance of payment. Documents entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the Superin- tendent 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 addi- tional information concerning the method of procuring a docnnient 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. In ordering a publication from the Superintendent of Documents give the name of the issuing Department, Bureau, or Division, and title. If publication is numbered give number also. Do not order by Library of Congress card number. Read carefully the instructions " How to remit," found at the bottom of the next page. The accumulation of publications in this Office amounts to over a million, of which several hundred thousand are assorted, forming the sales stock. Many rare books are included, but under the law all must be sold "at cost," re- gardless of their age or scarcity. In ordering, it should be borne in mind that many 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. No general price-list of public documents is available, but lists on special subjects will be furnished on application. MONTHLY CATALOGXJE DISTRIBUTION The Monthly catalogue is sent to each Senator, Representative, Delegate, and officer in Congress, to designated depositories and State and Territorial libra- ries, to substantially all Government authors, and to as many school, college, and public libraries as the limited edition will suppl.y. Subscription price to individuals, $1.10 a year, including indices. Back nmubers can not be supplied. Please notify the Superintendent of Documents of any change in address. LIBKARY 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 cai-d number (separated from it by a slanting line) indicates the 135 136 September, 1912 numbei* 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 i^c. for each addi- tional 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, 1912, the Index to the Monthly catalogue will be issued semiannually instead of quarterly, as heretofore, and will cumulate for the twelve months ending June, 1913. That is, the December number will be an Index to the Monthly catalogue for July to December, 1912, and the June num- ber will be the Index for the fiscal year 1913. 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, D. C, by postal money order, express oi-der, or New York draft. Currency may be sent at sender's risk. Postage stamps, foreign money, defaced or smooth coins will positively not he accepted. To facilitate the payment of the cost of documents, the Superintendent of Documents will hereafter accept coupons issued by him instead of cash. Coupons of the value of 5 cents each are sold in sets of 20 for $1,00. Address order to Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office. No charge is made for postage on documents forwarded to points in 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 re- mittances must cover such postage. Notes of General Interest Mortality statistics, 1909, has been issued, by the Census Bureau. It is the 10th annual report on this subject. The larga volume (810 pages quarto) is sold by the Superintendent of Documents at $1.25. Explanatory circular 7, Copyright Office, gives the rules and regulations for securing copyright on motion-picture photoplays and on motion pictures other than photoplays. The annual report of the Porto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station for 1911, issued Sept. 3, 1912, is encouraging. The island's annual exports have risen to $40,000,000, all agricultural. Crop failures are unknown in the island, the report declares. It was for many years a cause of reproach against the daily Congressional record, often commented upon in the newspapers, that when Members were granted " leave to print " in the Record speeches that they had not made on the floor, the matter was so printed as falsely to indicate that it had been actually spoken. This has now been changed. The heading used in the daily edition of the Record during the recent session of Congress over matter which has not been delivered, but printed by leave, was " Extension of remarks of " so-and-so, thus substituting that statement for the form so long in use. Vol. 22, Treasury decisions, Jan.-June, 1912, is now on sale. Buckram, $1.50. The chief of the Manufactures Bureau (now Foreign and Domestic Commerce Bureau) announces in his annual report for the fiscal year 1912 that the exist- ing mailing list for the Daily consular and trade reports has exhausted the edition of 20.000 copies to which it is limited by law, and consequently that no more requests for the publication can be granted. Hitherto the daily edition, which is now the only edition of Consular reports, has been supplied free to all approved applicants. The result is that which sooner or later befalls all free lists. The only sure cure for congestion of the list and exhaustion of the sup- ply is that of charging a subscription rate, thus keeping only those who are interested. Such a list is automatically kept alive by dropping the names of those who let their subscriptions expire. Another consideration is the fact that Congress is not likely to make much objection to an increase of the edition of a periodical which pays its way. Such a periodical is on a better footing than one which is to be given away. Silvieal leaflet 45, Forest Service, was issued 'Sept. 14, 1912, nos. 46-50 having preceded it. There is a gap of over 3 yeai's between nos. 44 and 45, the former having been issued July 15, 1909. The total number of the leaflets is now 53. No. 45 describes Western hemlock, which is said to be a " much superior " wood to eastern hemlock, and to be in large supply, though thus far little used. The Sundry civil appropriation act (Public 302, page 72) repeals the para- graph in the general printing law of Jan. 12. 1895, providing for the issue in bound volumes of the specifications and drawings of patents. The specifications and drawings will be printed as usual in the separate form and sold by the Patent Oflace. 137 138 September, 1912 Reprint 91 from Public healtli reports contains tlie antirat ordinances of San Francisco, Oalvland, and Seattle. This reprint may be taken as a hint to other cities to go and do likewise. The fact that the rat is the carrier of bubonic plague prompted the passage of the ordinances which have freed the three Pacific Coast cities from that menace. Report on the organization of the land forces of the United States is the title of a recent War Department publication. In an introductory note the Secretary of "War states that this report proceeds from the General Staff of the Army and "contains the broad outlines of a comprehensive military policy." Also that " the General Staff has been directed to proceed with a detailed study of the plan with the view of securing specific recommendations for the executive and legislative action necessary to carry the plan into effect." Comments and suggestions are invited, and for this reason the report has been published. Sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 10 cents. The professional distribution of college and university graduates is the title of Bulletin 19, series of 1912, Education Bureau. It traces for a series of years the choice of professions made by the graduates of certain schools, computes the percentages and the drift to and from certain callings, and offers comments on the statistics. 10 cents. A new edition of the National forest manual, with subtitle General adminis- tration and protection, is on sale at 10 cents. Technologic paper 10, Standards Bureau, will astonish those who have sup- posed fire bricks to be fire proof. The title is Melting points of fire bricks. Any one who is curious to know what this melting point is, can find it in this pamphlet. Price 5 cents. Forester Graves is the author of Forest Service Circular 207, The profession' of forestry. He maintains that this has become a real profession, with already a sufficient number of followers to give it substantial standing. The first school of forestry was founded at Cornell University in 1898. Now there are 22 such schools giving courses leading to a degree in forestry and about 40 others which include forestry in their curricula. Fully 500. men now have more or less technical training in forestry, besides 1500 forest rangers and 1000 students. All circulars of the Forest Service and other bureaus of the Agriculture Depart- ment are sold at the uniform price of 5 cents. An illuminating discussion of the vexed question of cotton tare is supplied in a new publication from the Corporations Bureau, Commerce and Labor Department. Special agents series 60 of the Manufactures Bureau, Commercial organiza- tions, embodies the results of an investigation of the promotive activities of 70 American commercial associations — chambers of commerce, boards of trade, and the like. What one has done others may do, or perhaps improve upon. This pamphlet is full of hints and helps for local business associations which may wish to improve their methods or take on new activities. Price 5 cents. Bulletin 44, Biological Survey Bureau, Food of our more important fiycatchers, has 4 fine colored plates and other illustrations. It demonstrates, by the results of the examination of thousands of stomachs of birds killed for that purpose, that 90 per cent of the food of these birds is animal, and therefore that they do little harm, if any, to " the green things growing." The United States has 39 species of flycatchers, of which 17 are considered in this bulletin. The sub- jects of the colored plates are the Kingbird, Arkansas Kingbird, the Crested flycatcher, and the Phoebe. Education Bureau Bulletin, series of 1912, no. 20, The readjustment of a rural high school to the needs of the community, is a most suggestive and stin^ulatiug publication. It describes the successful introduction into the cur- September, 1912 139 riculum of a New Hampshire high school of courses in domestic arts, agricul- ture, carpentry, blaclismithing, dairying, and agronomy, where before the train- ing was only scholastic. The author, who is principal of the transformed school, has a theory, for which there seems some foundation, that the character of the teaching in the secondary schools in small places has had much to do with the exodus from the country to the cities. The country schools have been really training the country boys for city life. Ten cents for the record of the transformed country high school. Sixty-second Congress, 2d session, Senate document 933, is the English report on the Titanic disaster. The hearings before the House Judiciary Committee concerning Commerce Court Judge Robert W. Archbald fill two large volumes, in paper covers, priced at 35 cents for vol. 1 and 80 cents for vol. 2. The impeachment trial of Judge Archbald is appointed for the next session of Congress. Though Judge Cornelius H. Hanford of Washington State resigned almost without a struggle when an impeachment ti'ial threatened, the report of the proceedings in his case fills a large volume (nearly ISOO pages) which has for numerical designation House report 1152, 62d Congress, 2d session. Price $1.15. Oyster lovers are warned that they will not find pleasant reading in Bulletin 156 of the Chemistry Bureau, Agriculture Department. Its title is Sewage- polluted oysters as a cause of typhoid and other gastrointestinal disturbances. Though not pleasant, it should be useful if people are willing to profit by the truth plainly told. A new list of United States judges, attorneys, and marshals corrected to Sept. 16, 1912, is now available. 5 cents. House document 916, 62d Congress, 2d session, is the text of the Fur-seal convention of this country with Great Britain, Russia, and Japan, for stopping pelagic sealing and rebuilding the seal herd. Public act 320, same Congress and session, is the act passed to carry out the purpose of the convention. An important document in these days of progressiveness is Senate document 936 of the 62d Congress, 2d session, being the Report of the American Federa- tion of Labor Committee on Industrial education. It is a document (with appendixes) of 114 pages, giving the opinions of those most vitally interested in increasing the practical character of the public school system. 10 cents. The Interior Department has added to its series of illustrated guidebooks to the national show places and pleasure grounds Sketch of the Yosemite National Park and an account of the origin of the Yosemite and Hetch Hetchy valleys, a pamphlet with many new illustrations. The Superintendent of Documents sells it at 10 cents. Vol. 40, Land decisions, is now ready. Buckram, $1.75. Mines Bureau Bulletin 44 describes with many illustrations The first national mine-safety demonstrations, Pittsburgh, Oct. 30 and 31, 1911. 15 cents. There is a new pamphlet. The location of the monuments, markers, and tablets on the battlefield of Gettysburg. 5 cents. In Circular 100, Bureau of Plant Industry, Dr. Galloway, chief of the bureau, treats with expert knowledge and the help of many illustrations the subject: Distribution of seeds and plants by the Department of Agriculture. 5 cents. Bulletin 154 of the Animal Industry Bureau, Methods of classifying the lactic-acid bacteria, is one instance among many of the patience and minuteness of the operations of modern science. The microscopic plants and animals called variously bacteria, bacilli, and microbes, though invisible except under high- power microscopes and unknown even to science until comparatively a few years ago, are now classified and named with much particularity, though not with completeness. Probably the work will never be complete, because the world of the infinitely little is very large, and new forms and characters of 140 September, 1912 bacteria are being isolated at frequent intervals. The list of known species is already amazingly long, but sure to be much longer in tlie future unless the scientists succeed in their purpose and hope, which is the extirpation of the more noxious kinds. Bulletin 154 recognizes four groups of bacteria which In different ways ferment lactose to acid, ox-, in more common speech, produce the souring of milk. These groups are identified by their special characteris- tics, of which descriptions are given. The record of many days' labors of many scientists, given in Bulletin 154, may be had by anybody for the insignificant fium of 5 cents. Tariff series 2S, Manufactures Bureau, is Customs tariff of Japan. 10 cents. LABOR BULLETINS The offer of the Superinleudent of Documents, made in Price list no. 36. to fiupply the Bulletins of the Labor Bureau, Commerce and Labor Department, at a subscription rate, is necessarily withdrawn, owing to a change in the method of publication, concerning which an explanatory note was published in the Monthly catalogue for July, 1912, page 8. Formerly the Bulletin was a bi-monthly publication, usually not issued promptly at date, but in consecutive order. It carried a consecutive number, which also ajipeared in regular order. Under these circumstances, a subscrip- tion rate was readily made and filled. One hundred numbers were issued on the consecutive plan, the last one having been dated May, 1912. It was an- nounced by the Commissioner of Labor, under date of July 5, 1912, that while the consecutive number would be continued, the dating would not, the date of publication to be thereafter determined by the time consumed in preparing the manuscript. At the time of writing nos. 101-104 have not appeared. No. 105, part 1, and no. 106, part 1, are the only bulletins thus far published under the new plan. These are the numbers in the general numerical series of bulletins. The new plan, however, calls for the grouping of the bulletins in subseries. Bulletins 105 and 100 belong to the group having for general title Retail prices and cost of living series. In this series they are nos. 1 and 2. The specific title of no. 105, part 1, is Retail prices, 1890 to 1911. The specific title of no. 106, part 1, is Retail prices, 1890 to June, 1912. Part 2 of each bulletin will be taken up with tables of statistics. Librarians and others interested in public documents or engaged in supplying them to readers will note with regret the multiplication of numbers, titles, series, arTd parts. Each additional designation adds to the difliculty of classifi- cation and identification. It is evident that the establishment of subscription lists is not practicable. Single copies of the Labor Bureau bulletins will of course still be sold by the Superintendent of Documents, but at varying prices, depending on the size of each number. The price for nos. 105, part 1, and 106, part 1, is 5 cents each. Bulletins 101, 102, and 103 are announced to be published as nos. 1, 2, and 3 of the Workmen's insurance and compensation series. QUABANTINE AGAINST PLANT DISEASES Under the provisions of the Plant quarantine act (Public 275, 62d Congress, 2d session) a Federal Horticultural Board has been formed from the bureaus of Entomology and Plant Industry and the Forest Service. The members are five In number, the law providing that not more than two shall be taken from any one of the three bureaus designated to be represented on the Efbard. The new Board has devised rules and regulations for carrying out the pro- visions of the Plant quarantine act. and these have been published as Circular September, 1912 14X 41 of the Office of the Secretary of Agriculture. Copies can be supplied by the Superintendent of Documents at 5 cents each. The Board has also issued nos. 1-3 of a new numbered series of publications under the general title Notice of quarantine. The first Notice forbids the im- portation of white pine, western white pine, sugar pine, and stone pine from Great Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy, because of the existence in those countries of a tree disease known as white pine blister rust. This Notice is dated Sept. 16. The new quarantine law did not take effect in full till Oct. 1, but as to white pine blister rust, potato wart, and the Mediterranean fruit fly it took effect immediately on its passage, Aug, 20, It applies, of course, only to nursery stock, the living trees, not to lumber. No, 2 relates to the Mediter- ranean fruit fly and no. 3 to the Potato wart. Twenty-five thousand dollars was appropriated to meet the cost of carrying out the act, but it is expressly provided that the Government experts who may be assigned to service on the Federal Horticultural Board shall not get any of the money, ADDITIONS TO SUBSCEIPTION LISTS The 2d edition of the Superintendent of Documents' Price list 36, Government periodicals, shows 32 distinct periodical publications for which paying sub- scription lists have been established. No Government periodical once placed on this list has ever returned to the old wasteful and inefficient free-distribu- tion plan. That plan is wasteful, because it gives something for nothing. It is inefficient, because it supplies publications to many who ask for them only because they are free. It is the universal human experience that men care Jiothing, or next to nothing, for that which costs nothing, and that a free cir- culation is of little value either for advertising or for information. Only those who care enough for Government periodicals to pay for them the merely nominal sums which they cost can be expected to make any serious use of them. The list of Government periodicals which have been transferred from the free mailing lists to the paid subscription lists is constantly increasing. This month's additions are the scientific Bulletin of the Standards Bureau and the Accident bulletin of the Interstate Commission. Both are quarterlies. The Standard Bureau's series of bulletins report the results of a wide range of original research in the line of its work, which is, primarily, to establish exact standards in many fields of applied science. Subscriptions will begin with volume 9, volume 8 being now in course of publication. Each volume con- sists of 4 numbers, planned for quarterly issue. The issues are, however, some- times irregular in time of publication, and for this reason the subscriptions will be taken by volumes rather than by years. The subscription rate is $1.00, and each subscriber will receive the 4 numbers which compose a full volume. Each of the numbers contains from 150 to 250 pages, and is made up of several scientific papers. The publication of the Bulletin began in 1901. About 200 of the papers which it has contained have been reprinted as " separates " or individual pamphlets. The Accident bulletin has been regularly published by the Interstate Com- merce Commission since the first issue, which was for the quarter ended Sept. 1901. Its statistics of railroad accidents are rather startling and discouraging reading, but they are doing something to supply the publicity which seems the likeliest means of securing greater care and caution in the working of the trans- portation lines. The reports on specific accidents, of which summaries are now appearing in the bulletin, are made under authority of the act of May 6, 1910, 61394— No. 213—12 2 142 September, 1912 by trained inspectors, who visit the scene as soon as possible after the disaster, and endeavor, by talcing sworn testimony and otherwise, to ascertain the cause and fix the responsibility. These summaries are not mere notes but interesting narratives, in most cases definitely fixing the responsibility for the accident. Persons reading the Accident bulletin for the first time cannot but be amazed at the wholesale slaughter which the grouping of accident statistics reveals. It is not a large publication, and the yearly subscription rate for it is only 20 cents. Subscriptions at $1.00 a year, for the Monthly bulletin of revenues and expenses of steam roads in the United States, published by the Interstate Com- merce Commission, will be taken by the Superintendent of Documents, beginning with no. 43, which is the number for June, 1912. Monthly Catalogue No. 213 SEPTEMBER 1912 AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT Note. — Those publications of the Department of Agriculture which are for sale will be supplied by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. The Department issues a monthly list of publications, which is mailed to all applicants, enabling them to select such reports and bulletins as interest them. Amendment 9 to National forest manual.
