. Canadian forest industries 1894-1896. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. "MODERN WOOD-WORKING ; qpHE above is the title of a little work which has * reached the editor's table of the Canada Lumber- man. It is one of a series on technical subjects, issued by Wm. Rider & Son, publishers of the Timber Trades Journal, London, the author being J. Stafford Ransome, Associate Member of the Institute of Civil Engineers, and the writer of works on " Modern Labor," " Capital at Bay," etc. It is really a re-publication of a former work on " How to Select Wood-Working Machinery," with new chapters added and the old ones thoroughly revised, as requires to be done in the newer editions of technical works, on account of the rapid developments which take place in this branch of mechanics. The general scope of the book is to point out the most suitable machines for wood-working, and the qualities to be looked for in such machines, giving instructions also how to obtain thorough knowledge of the machin- ery before rather than after purchasing. Why machin- ery fails to fulfil the expectations of its users is shown to arise from the following causes : (1) Insufficient workmen, (2) Injudicious placing, (3) Imperfect foundations, (4) Insufficient horse power, (5) A badly governing motor, (6) Prejudice against its use on the part of foreman or men. Any of these will entail serious loss to the owner of machinery, and probably there is not a wood-working factory in the country which does not suffer from one or other of them. The book contains thirty-five chapters, covering all classes of machines and motors, and has seventy-two illustrations. It must prove a most useful hand-book to all who are actively engaged in wood-working, and the price (3/6) is so low as to be within the reach of anyone. NEW CANADIAN Method of Making Match Splints.
