by Mr. Dugmore. ST. JOHN, T.M. Wireless Telegraphy. St. John. 1.00 Theoretical and practical information, together with complete directions for performing numerous experiments on wireless telegraphy with simple home-made apparatus.--_Title-page._ SHARP, D.L. (p. 224) A Watcher in the Woods. Illustrated by Bruce Horsfall.

Hark! don't ye hear it roar now? Lord help 'em, how I pities them Unhappy folks on shore now! WILLIAM PITT. CHARLES, E. (R.). Chronicles of the Schoenberg-Cotta Family. Burt. .75 This diary of Reformation days is fictitious, but it serves to bring most vividly before us Lut
