Abstract
THIS book provides a sound and interesting course in elementary science, from the point of view of the needs of miners. It is clearly written, and is well printed and illustrated. The experiments are carefully described, although it is questionable whether a large class should prepare small specimens of nitroglycerine, and then pour them down the sinks, as directed (p. 186). In the experiment on p. 120, a bit of “compo”tubing is less likely to do damage than glass. The technical matters are well explained, and the book will be useful.
