Only a portion of Professor Heller’s contemplated treatise was completed before his death. This part includes probably half of what the work was to comprise. “It covers the principles of statical analysis, stresses in beams and in columns, and stresses in simple trusses.” (Engin. N.)
“The work is extremely well done. Simplification and conciseness are secured by the most desirable method. A good knowledge of his subject and a sound view of the underlying facts and conditions are exhibited generally in the work. A full statement of how the phenomena of flexure vary from those expressed in the commonly-used formulas, and remarks on fatigue action and on the elastic properties of iron and steel merit special commendation.”

In this novel the white man plays but a small part. It is a story of the Indian of to-day, of the hunters of the Hudson bay country, and it tells of their life, their adventures, their superstitions, and their customs; closing like the conventional romance with the marriage of a young brave and an Indian maiden according to the rites of their tribe.

“The author would seem to have made instruction his aim rather than artistic excellence.”
