Contributions to The Science of Hydraulic Engineering
Edward Fontaine
It is usual for text-books, and especially those of the exact sciences for the use of schools, to be divested of all the adorn-ments of fancy. They aim at conciseness of style, and smallness of bulk. Such books may be cheap and marketable, but they are exceedingly dry and uninteresting; and they are difficult to understand and easily forgotten. Arithmetics, Algebras, Geom-etries, and the textbooks on Civil and Military Engineering, and Navigation, and even treatises on- the most sublime of all the physical sciences, Astronomy, used in our Military and Naval Academies, and all our institutions of learning, almost without an exception are of this dry, stony, and icy charac-ter, utterly devoid of every tint and trait of beauty which can attract the attention, charm the imag ination, and impress the memory.

"Metal Coloring and Finishing "
William J. Kaup
The subject of metal finishing and coloring has received but scant attention in mechanical publications; this is rather surprising when we note the inclination of the manufacturers of today to combine this artistic treatment with utility, and add contrast of color to the severe straight-line plainness of our commercial products, to produce more beautiful effects. There is nothing new in metal coloring. Ages ago it was old in Japan, and to the Orient we must really turn for original authority on successful coloring of metals.

Engineering as A Profession
Milo S. Ketchum
With the advance in science and in the arts our life and the things we do are becoming more and more complex. With the changes that will occur after the close of the war the demands will be much greater and new opportunities will open. To be able to meet the competition in business and industrial life, the young man of the future will need a much better preparation than can be obtained by a high-school course.

A Technical Descrıption of The Engineering Buıldıng of The Institute of Technology
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Prof. Chandler said: The Engineering Building of the Institute of Technology is built on Trinity Place, a short distance from, the other buildings of the Institute. The structure measures 148 feet by 52 feet, and has six stories. Its height of 85 feet is the extreme limit allowed by the building laws when a wooden construction is used. Its position on the lot was very carefully considered- in regard to future additions to the south on the property of the Institute; and, by mutual agreement with the abuttors, there will always be a clear area of 30 feet to the north.

Modern Engineering
William Jarvis McAlpine
This book to night is the last of the course. That course, we rejoice to say, has been sustained by the unanimous approval of the press, and by the presence here of very large and intelligent audiences, sometimes in spite of very discouraging weather.

Report of the Chief Engineer of the State of Tennessee, on the Surveys and Examinations for the Central Rail Road, and for the Central Turnpike: Under an Act of Assembly, Passed October 25th, 1836
Tennessee Chief Engineer
Among various other duties required of the Chief Engineer and his assistants, it is is provided in the law, that, “They shall first survey a route for a rail road, from the most eligible point on the Mississippi river, as near the centre of the State as practicable, to run through the centre of the State, as near «s practicable to the Tennessee river, and from thence for a McAdamized turnpike and rail road, the most eligible route near the centre of the State, to terminate on the Virginia line. Said examinations and surveys shall be made by the engineers that may be employed as aforesaid, for the State, and they shall examine said route for said roads, and make an estimate of the cost of constructing the same, or each of them, on or before the first day of November, eighteen hundred and thirty-seven.”

Recent Research and Assessments for Computer Engineering
Editor Ahmet Ercan Topcu
This book is intended as an overview of the recent research and evaluation of computer engineering topics for researchers and computer scientists. These aspects of the Recent Research and Assessments for Computer Engineering book are organized into four parts: I) machine learning, II) virtual reality, III) performance evaluation for mobile application, and IV) activity detection using big data analytics. Part I focuses on text classification using machine learning, which plays an essential role in communication with citizens while solving their problems, especially during difficult times. Part II highlights the performance tests comparison for mobile applications, which is a crucial area for building any software. Part III discusses virtual reality, which is currently indispensable for gaming applications. Finally, Part IV provides the security and safety of the citizen’s suspected activity detection model. We present the vital areas in ways that readers will benefit from the selected topics right away.

Memoranda on the Strength of Materials Used in Engineering Construction
Joseph K. Whildin
Many valuable accessions to our knowledge of the strength, of materials have been made within a comparatively recent -period; the records, however, have been scattered through different books, periodicals, &c. not always accessible or con-venient for reference. We have therefore endeavored in this brief essay to bring together and arrange some of the more important elements, both old and new, so as to form an “ aide memoire” for the Engineer and Architect, at the drawing office and elsewhere. The sources of information have been given as far ag possible, in order that the results may be checked, and opportunities afforded for lengthened investigations, which are beyond the scope of these papers.

Brazing and Soldering
James F. Hobart
Soldering and brazing are terms often used to denote the same operation, that of joining similar or dissimilar metals by means of molten metal which may be of the same kind, but which usually has a lower melting point than the metals to be joined. The term “brazing” is usually employed to denote the soldering with an alloy of copper or zinc. “Soldering” is usually taken to represent the joining of surfaces by means of an alloy of lead and tin, and “hard-soldering” is understood to mean the process of uniting as above described with silver and its alloys used as a uniting metal. Hard soldering and brazing are practically the same, and are both done in about the same way.

Illustrated Catalogue of Engineering, Surveying and Scientific Instruments
Various
Having received many applications for Catalogues l.'-'( and Cuts of our Instruments, we have issued this pamphlet, pending the preparation of a more complete catalogue. We must say, however, that with our superior facilities, consisting of the latest and most improved machinery and tools, with the advantages of steam power, large practical and technical experience, we are enabled to compete with the best makers in quality of work as well as in prices.

Care and Repair of Gas and Oil Engines
Various
While there are a great many books dealing with the theory and design of gas engines, as well as their operation, there has been a great lack of information relating to the care and repair of gas engines. Those that have devoted themselves to the work of gas engine repair have largely obtained their knowledge of the subject by practical experience. The author of this treatise on gas engine repairs has been forced to obtain his knowledge in this way, which, after all, is the best, although it is often a slow, expensive and difficult one. In order to make it easier for others who are engaged in this work or who intend to enter into this field, the most important points relative to the care and repair of gas engines have been put down in the following chapters, thereby providing a means by which others may find it easier to become familiar with this subject.
