THE WAR »N SOUTH AFRICAD

Cloth, $2.00.2.00. By JOHN A. HOBSON. Thh Echo, London.

recently correspondent in South Africa of the Manchester Guardian.

There are many Americans who are fullyconvinced that this Anglo-Boer war is not onlyun-necessary but essentially unjust, but whohave no reliable data with which to fortify theirbeliefs. Mr. Hobson's book is a sober, restrained account of the whole business by a train-ed observer, an Englishman, but strongly opposed to the policyof the English government.

"Jwas at Pretoria during the most critical period of the negotiations,

at Bloemfontein when the Raad of the Free State decided to stand by theTransvaal, aud at Cape Town when the war began."

MR BLACKBTJRNE'S GAMES AT CHESS. Se-lect<?d. Annotated and Arranged by Himself.Edited, witha Blc>f?raphlcal Sketch and a BriefHistory of Blindfold Chess, by P. Anderson i

Graham. Octavo, pp. viii,331. Longmans, Green& Co.

SOCIAL CHESS. A Collection of Short andBrilliant Games, with Historical and PracticalIllustrations. By James Ma«on. 12mo. pp. a*.

London: Horace Cox.

Mr. Blxckburne's "Games at Chess" containsabout four hundred of the famous English mas-

ter's frames, which have been carefully selected,

annotated and arranged by himself. These

games, which constitute the cream of the many

thousands played by Blackbume, represent not

only his match and tournament encounters, but

also Mi wonderful exhibitions of blindfold andsimultaneous play. To Americans no less thsn

to Britons the collection will prove a neverfalling- source of instruction and amusement.We are apt to swear by Plllsbury, who of late

has given ample evidence that he should at

least be considered a rival of the Englishman inthe line of exhibition chess, possessing the ad-vantage, moreover, of being able to conductsimultaneously, "fans volr," games of chess,

checkers and whist. Blackbume Is not capable

of this, but the additional reserve force requiredby Plllsbury for his side shows, as they aresometimes facetiously called, is utilized by

Blackbume for the purpose of beautifying his

creations. Hence It is that the Englishman pro-

duces the greater number of "brilliancies," whileon the score of soundness the honors must beadmitted to be even. Americans have a warm jspot in their hearts for the "English giant," not-withstanding that he has persistently proved

fateful to the hero of Hastings on nearly all the

occasions on which they met in Important en-counters

—notably the international cable chess

match between America and Great Britain.The book is divided into seven chapters, and

these are devoted, respectively, to a biography,

his match, tournament and consultation games—these being subdivided according to their open-Ings

—offhand games played simultaneously and

at odds, endings from actual play, blindfoldchess, and, finally, a selection. of the problemscomposed by him. Blackburne has been beforethe public ever since his debut in tournamentchess at London la 1562. at which time also theex-world's champion, William Steinltz. startedout. Both have taken part in all subsequent

events of greatest importance. Until last sum-mer's tournament at London Steinitz had always

led his English rival. Here should be noted adiscrepancy of the author's when he states in hisbiographical notes that "as a tournament player

Blackburne never has had an equal, if regardbe had to the long period during which he hasheld his place in the first rank. He has neverfailed to secure a prize." The last sentencealso requires correction. Blackburne was notplaced among the prize winners of the followingtournaments: London. 1802; Dundee, 1S07; Bres-lau. ISS9; Dresden. 1892; Hastings, 1895; Nu-remberg, 1896. and Vienna. 1898. However, thisdoes not detract from the value of this volume,wherein will be found a wealth of material forthe enjoyment of all classes of players. Mr.Blackbume is now fifty-eight years old.

A novelty In chess works from the pen of thatprolific writer on the game, James Mason, ofLondon, has recently come to hand. Its title is"Social Chess." and its object, as the name im-plies, is to offer something in the way of va-riety

—something lighter and more entertaining

than the ordinary and more labored class ofwritings. The same thing has, as a matter offact, been attempted before, though presented indifferent dress, as, for example, the collectionsof masterpieces by Bird and Dufresne. Free-borough's "Select End Games," etc. While reallyan assemblage of brilliant specimens of chessplay, in which the old or anti-conservativeschool is most favored, the greatest attractioncf this book is to be found in the instructivenotes supplied by the author, who is recognized

as MM of the leading analysts of the present day.

While the comments are carefully and learnedlywritten, they are presented insuch an entertain-ing manner that it becomes a pleasure for thereader and student to follow the lines selectedfor elucidation. A slight drawback to the workIs the fact that in each instance the winner ofthe game alone is named, while the loser's namedoes not appear at all. This to a certain ex-tent impairs the historical value of the collec-tion. Games by a number of American players

of note have been utilized by Mr. Mason, in-cluding several by Steinltz, Delmar. Hanham,Richardson, and, of those who are dead, Mor-phy and McKenzle. Brevity has guided the au-thor in making his selection, and none of thecontests reach forty moves In length, most ofthem are not above thirty, and many are undertwenty. The book also contains a brief sketchon social chessmen of all ages, with two fullpage illustrations of curious pieces manufact-ured in the Orient.

HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN & COBoston and New York

Mrs. Todd has already treated solar eclipses fncuch a satisfactory manner that there is hardlyroom for another book on the subject. Still, thelittle volume which G. F. Chambers has con-tributed to the Appleton "Library of I'sefulBtoriee" is an excellent substitute, and in Eng-land, where perhaps Mrs. Todd is less knownthen in America, no ikmtM Mr. Chambers's book\u25a0will win favor. It possesses features peculiar toitself, however. It discusses lunar eclipses toa limited extent, goes into ancient history ratherextensively, and supplies special information forthose who are likf-lyto observe the eclipse ofthe sun next May. A map showing »he starsand planets near that body at the Instant of ob-scuration, and data about convenient stationsin Spain and Portugal for witnessing this inter-esting astronomical phenomenon, are included.

The ostenFible pretext of Dr. Alfred H. Fison's"Recent Advances in Astronomy" (Herbert S.Stone &Co.) Is a desire to supplement the workof Proctor. Ball, Newcomb, Young and MlbsClerk* with a popular exposition of the dtacov-eries of the last ten or fifteen years. But thatidea has been Inadequately realized. The bookIs accurate, conpenativ" and attractive in style,but h-trdiy up to date, and at points it is un-fortunately reserved. In the matter of spect-roscopv, for instance. s>me knowledße of Row-land's and Hale's work Is betrayed, but Dr.

PIMM is blissfully unconscious of Henry Dra-per's. W. W. Campbell's and the Harvard Ob-servatory's services to science. And though hed*vot»R a special chapter to the "Red Flames ofthe Sun." he never mentions the dispute whichhas arisen as to the exac color of solar promi-nences.

from her other writings. She combines the thor-oughness, accuracy and enthusiasm of a natu-ralist with the graceful touch of a skilled artist.

Not only does she reveal with simplicity and

care the organization and habits of the honey-bee, but she indulges in felicities of expression

that impart an additional charm to he- story.

Miss Morley indicates in the last half of the

volume the place which the bee and its products

have held in literature, ancient and modern.

This feature of her work, though it Involvespome sacrifice of unity of design, is the fruit of

extended research, and betrays excellent taste.

Tho life processes of vegetation require aproper amount of moisture; not too much andnot too little. Where the supply Is scant, owing

to a deficient rainfall, it may be supplemented

with the aid of canals and ditches drawing

water from neighboring streams. Where themoisture is in excess, the soil should be relievedby artificial conduits. Both classes of treatmentare discussed In "Irrigation and Drainage," ofMacmillan's "Rural Science Series," by F. H.King, professor of agricultural physics in theUniversity of Wisconsin. The volume contains."jO2 duodecimo pages and many illustrations.

The subjects just mentioned are considered from

an agricultural point of view, and not in the in-

terests of politics or civil engineering. Pro-

fessor King has put a good deal of useful in-

formation into this book, has conformed closely

to approved practice, and has written only after

careful inquiry into the question with which he

deals. "Irrigation and Drainage" deserves aplace on the book shelves of progressive farm-

ers.

William J. Baldwin, in "Ventilation andWarming" (the Van Nostrand Company), insists

that most of the estimates of the amount offresh air needed ina room which human beings

occupy are too small. He thinks that threethousand or four thousand cubic feet per hour

for each person is little enough, and says that in

the Bloane Maternity Hospital provision is madefor letting in eight thousand. This amount will

startle conservative people, especially if they

are invalids, but Mr. Baldwin shows that Ifthe

air is admitted to the room near the ceiling oneneed not fear draughts. In the same volume In-

structions are given to the architect and en-gineer as to how they may compute the boilerpower requisite for heating a house or building.

In "Chemistry: Its Evolution and Achieve-

ments." a duodecimo volume of 170 pages, F. G.Wiechmann has succeeded in presenting a ratherdry scientific topic In a way calculated to inter-est the non -professional reader. The book isunpretentious, but its preparation has Involved

more than a little research. It is historical in

the main, and it exhibits enough of the indus-trial, medical and metallurgical aspects of thesubject at tho present time to bring the story

up to date. An almost complete freedom fromtechnicality is one of the merits of the volume.The absence of a table of contents will impress

some readers as a defect. However, there is agood index, and after having read the book onecan easily find almost anything that he has seentherein. William R. Jenkins publishes it.

Among the books written by Philip Atkinson,

of Chicago, on electricity and apparatus forutilizingit. is 'The Electric Transformation of

Power." This appeared five years ago. Owing

to Industrial advances during this short period

ho has been led to revise his work for the Van

Nostrand Company, and it now reappears under

the title, "Power Transmitted by Electricity."

This is not a happy designation, but. the book is

a useful one In spite of that unimportant detail.

The major part of it is devoted to describing theelectric motor, both in stationary plants and onstreetcars. Some attention is given to the ar-rangement of central stations for light andpower, to transmission lines and to the details

of overhead and conduit trolley systems. Mr.

Atkinson represents American practice, and hiswork !s up to date. The book is illustrated.

The north and south poles gradually exchangedplaces through a sort of spiral motion, and sub-sequently recovered their original positions. Ifthe author had only studied that familiar toy.

the top. a ltttlo more faithfully,he would have

realized more clearly than he appears to have

done the persistency with which a rotating body

retains Its axis in the same general direction. Inspite of complicated wahhlingfi. Or if. in hislaboratory, he had been able to establish excep-

tions to that fundamental law. there would havebeen some excuse for his nonsense. But Inas-much as he falls to furnish any reason for sup-

posing that an exception has been made In thecape r.f our globe, the geologists must look else-

where for an explanation of the changes of cli-mate that have attracted their attention.

Neither the cause of science nor the reputationof the late William Andrews, of Cumberland,Md.. has been benefited by the recent printing ofhis book, written more than thirty years agoand entitled "The Dluturnal Rotation of thoEarth" (M. Andrews and E. O. Stevens, Pub-lishers). Public curiosity may be gratified byan explanation of this term. Mr. Andrews, whowas an amateur geologist and a man of widereading, was Impressed, as many other menhave been, by the puzzling Inconsistencies ofclimate recorded by the fosHils. Why shouldthere be remains of tropical types of animal andvegetable life In the arctic regions, for instance?To explain a number of these eccentricities ofNature. Mr. Andrews conceived that, in addi-tion to the other movements which the earth Isknown to have, it executes one that has not

hitherto been recognized. Ina period of abouteighty-four million years, he Imagined, the globe

turned topsy turvy and then came back again.
