The Macmillan Co. having caught the attention of “the jolly sailor man,” and all who love the sea, by publishing “On Many Seas,’ chooses this favorable moment to is- sue a book of short stories entitled “The Port of Missing Ships, and Other Stories of the Sea.” Cassier’s Magazine, February, contains, among other articles, three of special interest to those connected with shipping: “The Bazin Roller Boat,” “Electric Ship Light- ing,’ and “Steamboats on Western American Rivers.” The Nautical Magazine for March, Spottiswoode & Co., 54 Gracechurch street, E. Cj London.—The article on “Her Majesty's Government and Shipowners’ Liability” by Dr. Raikes, is opportune, and though it contains some debatable matter, is on the whole an able presentation of the subject. Reed’s “Polyglot Guide to the Marine Engine.” Eng- lish, Francais, Deutsch and Norsk. Price tos 6d, Sunder- land: Thomas Reed & Co., 184 High street, West. This is a work which should meet with a sale among engineers in the different countries enumerated in the title. It had been felt that a work of the kind was required, and the publishers have in this publication essayed to supply the want. In carrying out their intention the services of lin- guists possessing the necessary technical knowledge were secured to make the requisite translations, and these to all appearance have been done with care. The illustra- great assistance to those not fully acquainted with the great assistance to those not fuly acquainted with the parts of a marine engine, all the parts illustrated being marked with an asterisk. The guide should prove invalu- able to marine engine builders, shipbuilders, and others interested in the management of steamers. The Jerusalem correspondent of The Jewish Chronicle mentions that a steamer has at last been put upon the Jordan, which makes the journey from Jericho along the Jordan to Tiberias, on the Sea of Galilee, in five hours. Recently four Jewish families have settled in Jericho, having rented for five years from the Sultan-a large area of fruitful land for cultivation, and to be irregated from the Jordan. “Navigation, Practical and Theoretical,” is a useful lit- tle volume by David Wilson-Barker, R. N. R., Younger Brother of the Trinity House, and William Allingham (London: Chas. Griffin & Co., Limited). Although the work is of the nature of an elementary manual, it is in- tended to meet the wants not only of the beginner, but of the practical navigator. It covers the ground for the elementary and advanced stages of the science and art department in navigation. The chapters on current and windward sailing, position by bearings, Mercator’s chart and great circle sailing, are very excellent. Messrs. Little, Brown & Co., Boston, Mass., announce the publication of “The Life of Nelson; the Embodiment of the Sea Power of Great Britain,” by Capt. A. T. Mahan, U. S. N., retired. The work is in two volumes, 8vo. Cloth gilt top. Price $8. There are 19 photogravures, portraits and plates and 21 maps and battle plans. The work is uniform with “Influence of Sea Power on His- gel ,, Influence of Sea Power Upon the French Revo- ution. ‘ * “The New Rules of the Road at Sea,” by H.: Stuart Moore, Barrister-at-Law. Price 3s. London: J. D.gPote ter, 31 Poultry E. C. On the ist of July next the new regulations for preventing collisions at sea come into force, and the publication of this book comes most op- portune. The author divides his work into thirty-one articles, in which various matters pertinent to the subject are ably dealt with and criticised. Mr. Moore’s: principal object, he says, “has been to supply a complete copy of the rules themselves, and to illustrate them by the notes appended to each article. The notes have been added to assist the reader in understanding such points of difficulty “in the construction of the rules, as have been dealt with by decisions of the courts in cases arising under such of the old rules as are similar in language to the new rules.” These notes will be especially serviceable in assisting ma- riners the more eradily to grasp the effect of the altera- tions which have been made, and guide them when de- ciding upon the manoeuvres necessary for them to per- form for the purpose of avoiding collisions. or or oe WANTED.
