HARRINGTON, M.W.
About the Weather.
Appleton. .65
Treated from a broad scientific standpoint, much interesting (p. 220)
information is conveyed about the laws which, discovered comparatively
recently, have proved of vital importance and utility to mankind. The
humidity and pressure of the air, the velocity of the wind, rain and
snow, sleet and hail-storms, tornadoes and cyclones, are among the
many topics discussed.
HOLLAND, W.J.
The Moth Book.
Doubleday. 4.00
An intelligent boy or girl of fourteen, with a real interest in the
subject, will enjoy this fine work on the moths of North America north
of Mexico, though it is written more from the standpoint of the
student than are most of the series to which it belongs. There are
fifteen hundred figures in the forty-eight colored plates, and three
hundred black and white text figures, illustrating a majority of the
larger species.
