After a careful survey of the situation, investigating the wants of the public and its demands, picking out the most satisfactory general features of other typewriters, the Oliver TypeCompany decided that the successful machine must have at essentials, namely, simplicity, speed, heavy manipower, durability, facility, and visible writing. The campaign of the company all along has been to dete to the public that the Oliver Typewriter combines onstruction these six essentials. uccess of the Oliver Typewriter marked the beginning volution in typewriter mechanism. The present efforts in the direction of securing visible writing or to arrange writing machines so that the work can be inspected ast inconvenience, and all this attests to the wisdom esight of the Oliver manufacturers who started out on ef that visible writing must be an essential of a modewriter. licity is, of course, the demand of operators and the inventors.

A Complete Geography, by Ralph S. Tarr, B. S., F. G. S. A., professor of dynamic geology and physical geography, at Cornell university, and Frank M. McMurry, Ph.D., professor of theory and practice of teaching at Teachers college, Columbia university. This geography is designed for the higher classes in our grammar schools. The authors have completely left the beaten track in the subject and have striven to present the modern facts in industries which will most interest pupils. Thus one of the important uses of wood from forest trees is stated to be the manufacture of paper, and then the process by which the log is transformed into the completed paper, is given briefly. This feature is characteristic. The later changes in the political divisions of the world are fully treated and the peculiarities of climate and productions of the late acquisitions of the United States are interestingly shown. A most valuable feature of the work is the superb relief maps of the various regions. The reproductions from photographs, which are very numerous, add greatly to the interest of the book. These geographies, of which this is one in a series, must tend to improve the teaching of a subject which has usually been very dry and almost fruitless of results. (The Macmillan Company, New York and London. Price, $1.00.) An Introduction to Physical Geography, by Grove Kent Gilbert, geologist, United States Geological Survey; author of "Geology of Henry Mountains, Lake Bonneville, etc., and Alfred Perry Brigham, professor of geology in Colgate university, author of "Text-Book of Geology." This text-book is designed for the use of students in high schools and academies who desire a thoro knowledge of the present surface conditions of the earth. It begins with the earth as a member of the solar system, and then develops the fact of constant changes in its surface, these resting upon the relations to the sun as the primary cause. The study of surface waters in the form of rivers follows, with the conditions of continental drainage. This makes river systems, and the systems react in great modification of the surface. Indeed, the authors would seem to make surface erosion and transportation the entire force at work to determine present configuration, thus neglecting radiation and its consequent contraction. Glaciers and their extension in continental ice sheets are shown to have done a large part of the work of making soils. The distinction between continental and coastal plains, both in present conditions and in origin, is finely presented, and volcanoes are shown to be still an efficient molding force. Climate conditions in the atmosphere, and their results in the distribution of plants and animals make the substance of the concluding chapters. The typography of the book is excellent, while the numerous maps, charts, and engravings aid the student to form true conceptions of the actual conditions of the earth's surface. The coloring of the maps differs from the conventional, yet is of a character to assist the eye. (D. Appleton &Company, New York. Price, $1.25 net.)
