Kielland, Alexander L. Professor Lovedahl; tr. from the Norwegian, by Rebecca Blair Flandrau. [*]$1.25. Turner, H. B.
“A romance from the Northland. The love of money and power lead to the downfall of a society man and to the gradual ruin of a whole community. The author aims to put corruption and cant in their proper places.”—Bookm.
“A story pre-eminently Scandinavian in its matter, inspiration, and outcome. Nobody in it is happy; few people in it are good. It is all horribly futile and Scandinavian.”

Kildare, Owen. [My Mamie Rose: the story of my regeneration.] $1. Baker.
A popular edition of this autobiography of a child of the Bowery, a newsboy, a “beer slinger” in a notorious dive, a pugilist, one who could not read or write until he was thirty, who now at thirty-eight earns his living by his pen, and upholds the cause of right. It is the story of how this development of the real man in him came about thru the influence of his Mamie Rose, the little school teacher who died on the eve of their marriage, and also, tho perhaps he would not admit it, thru the influence of his pal, the bull pup Bill.
“‘My Mamie Rose’ is a true love story, a human document and a photograph of slum life as it is to-day. Its effect will be to demolish theories of environment and to inspire the settlement worker with greater hope.”

Kinealy, John Henry. Centrifugal fans: a theoretical and practical treatise on fans for moving air in large quantities at comparatively low pressures. [*]$5. Spon.
“This compact little treatise is devoted mainly to the theory of centrifugal fans. There is included in it, however, a brief outline showing the evolution of the present usual commercial type of centrifugal fan and some practical information concerning the less common types, such as the cone type, running without a casing, and disk or propeller fans. The work is primarily devoted, however, to the ordinary commercial fan for use in heating and ventilating work or for mechanical draught.”—Engin. N.
