Venable, William Mayo. Garbage crematories in America. $2. Wiley.
While the main portion of Mr. Venable’s treatment has to do with the subject of incineration, he deals briefly with quantities of refuse to be handled and with systems of the collection of city wastes. “As a whole, Mr. Venable’s book presents some of the fundamental principles governing, or which should govern, garbage and refuse furnaces, and outlines in a useful manner the various types of American furnaces.” (Engin. N.)
“On the sanitary phases of refuse disposal Mr. Venable is quite unsatisfactory. As a whole Mr. Venable’s book presents some of the fundamental principles governing, or which should govern, garbage and refuse furnaces, and outlines in a useful manner the various types of American furnaces.”

Ver Beck, Frank (William Francis). Ver Beck’s book of bears; some of the lines were thought out by Hanna Rion, others by Hayden Carruth, the worst ones by Frank Ver Beck, the best ones by the bear himself. †$1.50. Lippincott.
A “bear” book in which the spirited illustrations put a whole bear family, if not through Jiu Jitsu, at least thru acrobatic and pugilistic performances which are marvelous as to expertness.
