Great Central Railway Journal. — This excellent little budget of railway news, which is published in Leicester, England, has now reached its tenth issue, and contains some valuable technical articles, in addition to permanently recording the doings of the Great Central. ****** Gas, Gasoline and Oil Engines. — New and revised edition, 1906, by Gardner D. Hiscox, M.E., New York. The Norman W. Henley Publishing Co., 1906. This book contains 450 pages of general technical information relating to the extensive branches of the subjects treated, and is illustrated by 351 engravings and diagrams. While we would welcome a modern English work on this question, we nevertheless appreciate the efforts of Mr. Hiscox in placing before us such an able exposition of the explosive motor. Indeed, the author does not confine himself to purely American machines but includes lengthy descriptions and excellent plates of such universal types as the Crossley, Diesel,

Hornsby-Ackroyd, Westinghouse, Pintsch, etc., etc. Mr. Hiscox fully describes and illustrates the theory, design, construction and management of the explosive motor for stationary, marine, and vehicle motor power. The price of the work, which can be seen and obtained at Progress Office, is 12/6 net.
