of Mr Sellchl Tegima Commissioner General of Japan- to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition we have received an interesting and Instruc- tive volume of permanent value Japan In the Beginning of the Twentieth Century which U published by the Imperial Japa- nese Commission It has been prepared from official sources by Mr Hnrukl Yama wakt Secretary of the Department of Agriculture and Commerce and a member- of the commission and was printed in English at Toklo While a quaint word out here and there the English is very good nnd tho statements are clear and com- pact In over BOO pages the present state of the Mikados empire is put before us First we meet a description of the land and natural features of the administration of the land tenures and a statistical account- of tho population Then follow tho many Industries each with a brief history and ac- count of how It la carried on agriculture silk and tea raising stock breeding forestry mining the fisheries and the many manu- factures There are recent statistics to be found here but tho articles are more than abstracts of figures they intelligent general descriptions of how each handi work is carried on In the same way in the succeeding arti- cle on trade finance communications education and so on the explanation of how matters changed from the old to tho new makes the figures attractive The account- of the army and navy is very brief At tho end is a supplement devoted to the island of Formosa The book forms a convenient and authoritative handbook on Japan and the author has contrived to elucidate as he goes on a great many terms and miscel laneous matters that usually puzzle foreign readers in things Japanese It is perhaps characteristic that book should be bound In silk Other Dooki If the reader does not take him too seri- ously Mr Wolf von Schlerbrands the Welding of a World Power Doubleday Page Co may prove In- structive as well as entertaining It Is made up In part at least of magazine articles and what Is not might just as well have been There is a good deal about the Kaiser and about various phases of German lifo told from a superficial jour- nalistic point of view where the author Is bound to mako a telling point even at con- siderable sacrlflce fact There Is no doubt however that his hook will prove more readable to many readers than a- more accurate scientific statement would Hasty generalizations are attractive The author has opportunities to ex- amine recent German conditions so that his statements will have a value for per- sons who already know Germany and are able to supply the needful dose of salt For others there is no particular harm if they take Mr von Schlerbrands views In prof N crops lit are I I t I f I often I lie Ger- many ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ erence to Of unusual interest is the latest volume of Mr Archer Butler Hulberts series on The Historic Highways of America tho first volume of The Great American Canals The Arthur H Clark Company Cleveland The

historic survivals as the others In this volume two Important that connected the country east and wet of the Alleghenies are described the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the relatively shortlived

Japan Described by the Up nr rThrough the courtesy of Mr Sellchl

Tegima Commissioner General of Japan-to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition wehave received an interesting and Instruc-tive volume of permanent value Japan In

the Beginning of the Twentieth Centurywhich U published by the Imperial Japa-nese Commission It has been preparedfrom official sources by Mr Hnrukl Yamawakt Secretary of the Department ofAgriculture and Commerce and a member-of the commission and was printed inEnglish at Toklo While a quaint word

out here and there the English is verygood nnd tho statements are clear and com-

pactIn over BOO pages the present state of the

Mikados empire is put before us Firstwe meet a description of the land andnatural features of the administration ofthe land tenures and a statistical account-of tho population Then follow tho manyIndustries each with a brief history and ac-

count of how It la carried on agriculturesilk and tea raising stock breeding forestrymining the fisheries and the many manu-

factures There are recent statistics to befound here but tho articles are more thanabstracts of figures they intelligentgeneral descriptions of how each handiwork is carried on

In the same way in the succeeding arti-

cle on trade finance communicationseducation and so on the explanation of howmatters changed from the old to tho newmakes the figures attractive The account-of the army and navy is very brief At thoend is a supplement devoted to the island ofFormosa The book forms a convenientand authoritative handbook on Japan andthe author has contrived to elucidate as hegoes on a great many terms and miscellaneous matters that usually puzzle foreignreaders in things Japanese It is perhapscharacteristic that book should bebound In silk
