A review of world-wide conditions as they exist to-day, offering an entirely new suggestion for the remedy of the evils they exhibit. Mr. Severy but gives expression to Mr. Gillette’s ingenious plan for the amelioration of the ever-increasing ills of the existing social system,—a plan which combines the best of the single tax scheme, the best of socialism with the best part of our present system as it exists to-day.
“Sensational ‘stories’ from daily newspapers, even of the ‘yellow’ type, are seriously treated as historical materials, without rational criticism. All the muckrakers are here invited to unload their unsavory burdens, and the result is a sort of literary dumping-ground.” Charles Richmond Henderson.

Sewell, Tyson. Construction of dynamos, (alternating and direct current): a textbook for students, engineer-constructors, and electricians-in-charge. *$3. Van Nostrand.
A text-book for students and apprentices in electrical engineering as well as helpful to civil, mechanical and other engineers. The earlier chapters are devoted to an exposition of the fundamental principles of direct and single phase alternating currents, and their bearing on the subject, of dynamos; the effects of polyphase currents being treated later on as an introduction to polyphase alternators.
