Explanation Words and figures inclosed in brackets [ ] are given for information, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications catalogued. When size is not given, octavo is to be understood. Size of maps is measured from outer edge of border, excluding margin. The dates, including day, month, and year, given with Senate and House documents and reports, are the dates on which they were ordered to be printed. Usually the printing promptly follows the ordering, but various causes sometimes make delays. When Congress and session are not given with the number of Senate and House documents and reports, 62d Congress, 2d session, is to be understood. 134 General Informati on

The Superintendent of Documents is authorized to sell at cost any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not otherwise provided for Documents can not be supplied by this Office free to individuals, nor can they be forwarded in advance of payment. Documents entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the Superin- tendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., are indicated by a star (*) preceding the price named. A dagger (t) indicates that application should be made to the Department, Bureau, or Division issuing the document, a double dagger (t) Indicates that the document is not obtainable, and whenever addi- tional information concerning the method of procuring a document seems neces- sary it will be found under the name of the Bureau. The Senate and House documents and reports are issued in limited editions and, unless otherwise indicated, may be obtained only through Members of Congress. In ordering a publication from the Superintendent of Documents give the name of the issuing Department, Bureau, or Division, and title. If publication is numbered give number also. Do not order by Library of Congress card number. Read carefully the instructions “ How to remit,” found at the bottom of the next page. The accumulation of publications in this Office amounts to over a million, of which several hundred thousand are assorted, forming the sales stock. Many rare books are included, but under the law all must be sold “at cost,” re- gardless of their age or scarcity. In ordering, it should be borne in mind that many of the books have been in stock some time and are apt to be shop-worn. In filling orders, however, the best copy available is sent. No general price-list of public documents Is available, but lists on special subjects will be furnished on application.

MONTHLY CATALOGUE DISTRIBUTION The Monthly catalogue is sent to each Senator, Representative, Delegate, and officer in Congress, to designated depositories and State and Territorial libra- ries, to substantially all Government authors, and to as many school, college, and public libraries as the limited edition will supply. Subscription price to individuals, $1.10 a year, including indices. Back numbers can not be supplied. Please notify the Superintendent of Documents of any change in address.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CARDS Numbers to be used in ordering the L. C. catalogue cards will be found at the end of the titles of the more important monographic documents. The figure following the card number (separated from it by a slanting line) indicates the 135 136 Sep te mber , 1912 number of cards required for entries suggested (title entry not included) on the cards. The price of the cards is 2c. for the first card and Ac. for each addi- tional card for the same title ordered at the same time. Remittances should be made to the Librarian of Congress. Cards can not be furnished by the Superintendent of Documents.

CUMULATIVE INDEX Beginning with July, 1912, the Index to the Monthly catalogue will be issued semiannually instead of quarterly, as heretofore, and will cumulate for the twelve months ending June, 1913. That is, the December number will be an Index to the Monthly catalogue for July to December, 1912, and the June num- ber will be the Index for the fiscal year 1913. Persons desiring to bind the catalogue at the end of the year should be careful to retain the numbers re- ceived monthly, as duplicate numbers can not be supplied.

HOW TO REMIT Remittances for the documents marked with a star (♦) should be made to the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., by postal money order, express order, or New York draft. Currency may be sent at sender’s risk. Postage stamps, foreign money, defaced or smooth coins will positively not be accepted. To facilitate the payment of the cost of documents, the Superintendent of Documents will hereafter accept coupons issued by him instead of cash. Coupons of the value of 5 cents each are sold in sets of 20 for $1.00. Address order to Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office. No charge is made for postage on documents forwarded to points in United States, Guam, Hawaii, Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, or to Canada, Cuba, or Mexico. To other countries the regular rate of postage is charged, and re- mittances must cover such postage. Notes of General Inter est

Mortality statistics, 1909, has been issued by the Census Bureau. It is the 10th annual report on this subject. The large volume (810 pages quarto) is sold by the Superintendent of Documents at $1.25. Explanatory circular 7, Copyright Office, gives the rules and regulations for securing copyright on motion-picture photoplays and on motion pictures other than photoplays. The annual report of the Porto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station for 1911, issued Sept. 3, 1912, is encouraging. The island’s annual exports have risen to $40,000,000, all agricultural. Crop failures are unknown in the island, the report declares. It was for many years a cause of reproach against the daily Congressional record, often commented upon in the newspapers, that when Members were granted “ leave to print ” in the Record speeches that they had not made on the floor, the matter was so printed as falsely to indicate that it had been actually spoken. This has now been changed. The heading used in the daily edition of the Record during the recent session of Congress over matter which has not been delivered, but printed by leave, was “ Extension of remarks of” so-and-so, thus substituting that statement for the form so long in use. Vol. 22, Treasury decisions, Jan.-June, 1912, is now on sale. Buckram, $1.50. The chief of the Manufactures Bureau (now Foreign and Domestic Commerce Bureau) announces in his annual report for the fiscal year 1912 that the exist- ing mailing list for the Daily consular and trade reports has exhausted the edition of 20.000 copies to which it is limited by law, and consequently that no more requests for the publication can be granted. Hitherto the daily edition, which is now the only edition of Consular reports, has been supplied free to all approved applicants. The result is that which sooner or later befalls all free lists. The only sure cure for congestion of the list and exhaustion of the sup- ply is that of charging a subscription rate, thus keeping only those who are interested. Such a list is automatically kept alive by dropping the names of those who let their subscriptions expire. Another consideration is the fact that Congress is not likely to make much objection to an increase of the edition of a periodical which pays its way. Such a periodical is on a better footing than one which is to be given away. Silvical leaflet 45, Forest Service, was issued Sept. 14, 1912, nos. 46-50 having preceded it. There is a gap of over 3 years between nos. 44 and 45, the former having been issued July 15, 1909. The total number of the leaflets is now 53. No. 45 describes Western hemlock, which is said to be a “ much superior ” wood to eastern hemlock, and to be in large supply, though thus far little used. The Sundry civil appropriation act (Public 302, page 72) repeals the para- graph in the general printing law of Jan. 12, 1895, providing for the issue in bound volumes of the specifications and drawings of patents. The specifications and drawings will be printed as usual in the separate form and sold by the Patent Office. 137 138 Sept embe r , 1912

Reprint 91 from Public health reports contains the antirat ordinances of San Francisco, Oakland, and Seattle. This reprint may be taken as a hint to other cities to go and do likewise. The fact that the rat is the carrier of bubonic plague prompted the passage of the ordinances which have freed the three Pacific Coast cities from that menace. Report on the organization of the land forces of the United States is the title of a recent War Department publication. In an introductory note the Secretary of War states that this report proceeds from the General Staff of the Army and contains the broad outlines of a comprehensive military policy.” Also that “the General Staff has been directed to proceed with a detailed'study of the plan with the view of securing specific recommendations for the executive and legislative action necessary to carry the plan into effect.” Comments and suggestions are invited, and for this reason the report has been published Sold by the Superintendent of Documents at 10 cents. The professional distribution of college and university graduates is the title of Bulletin 19, series of 1912, Education Bureau. It traces for a series of years the choice of professions made by the graduates of certain schools, computes the percentages and the drift to and from certain callings, and offers comments on the statistics. 10 cents. A new edition of the National forest manual, with subtitle General adminis- tration and protection, is on sale at 10 cents. Technologic paper 10, Standards Bureau, will astonish those who have sup- posed fire bricks to be fire proof. The title is Melting points of fire bricks. Any one who is curious to know what this melting point is, can find it in this pamphlet. Price 5 cents. Forester Graves is the author of Forest Service Circular 207, The profession of forestry. He maintains that this has become a real profession, with already a sufficient number of followers to give it substantial standing. The first school of forestry was founded at Cornell University in 1898. Now there are 22 such schools giving courses leading to a degree in forestry and about 40 others which include forestry in their curricula. Fully 500 men now have more or less technical training in forestry, besides 1500 forest rangers and 1000 students. All circulars of the Forest Service and other bureaus of the Agriculture Depart- ment are sold at the uniform price of 5 cents. An illuminating discussion of the vexed question of cotton tare is supplied in a new publication from the Corporations Bureau, Commerce and Labor Department. Special agents series 60 of the Manufactures Bureau, Commercial organiza- tions, embodies the results of an investigation of the promotive activities of 70 American commercial associations—chambers of commerce, boards of trade, and the like. What one has done others may do, or perhaps improve upon. This pamphlet is full of hints and helps for local business associations which may wish to improve their methods or take on new activities. Price 5 cents. Bulletin 44, Biological Survey Bureau, Food of our more important flycatchers, has 4 fine colored plates and other illustrations. It demonstrates, by the results of the examination of thousands of stomachs of birds killed for that purpose, that 90 per cent of the food of these birds is animal, and therefore that they do little harm, if any, to “ the green things growing.” The United States has 39 species of flycatchers, of which 17 are considered in this bulletin. The sub- jects of the colored plates are the Kingbird, Arkansas Kingbird, the Crested flycatcher, and the Phoebe. Education Bureau Bulletin, series of 1912, no. 20, The readjustment of a rural high school to the needs of the community, is a most suggestive and stimulating publication. It describes the successful introduction into the cur- Septe mber , 1912 139

riculum of a New Hampshire high school of courses in domestic arts, agricul- ture, carpentry, blacksmithing, dairying, and agronomy, where before the train- ing was only scholastic. The author, who is principal of the transformed school, has a theory, for which there seems some foundation, that the character of the teaching in the secondary schools in small places has had much to do with the exodus from the country to the cities. The country schools have been really training the country boys for city life. Ten cents for the record of the transformed country high school. Sixty-second Congress, 2d session, Senate document 933, is the English report on the Titanic disaster. The hearings before the House Judiciary Committee concerning Commerce Court Judge Robert W. Archbald fill two large volumes, in paper covers, priced at 35 cents for vol. 1 and 80 cents for vol. 2. The impeachment trial of Judge Archbald is appointed for the next session of Congress. Though Judge Cornelius H. Hanford of Washington State resigned almost without a struggle when an impeachment trial threatened, the report of the proceedings in his case fills a large volume (nearly 1800 pages) which has for numerical designation House report 1152, 62d Congress, 2d session. Price $1.15. Oyster lovers are warned that they will not find pleasant reading in Bulletin 156 of the Chemistry Bureau, Agriculture Department. Its title is Sewage- polluted oysters as a cause of typhoid and other gastrointestinal disturbances. Though not pleasant, it should be useful if people are willing to profit by the truth plainly told. A new list of United States judges, attorneys, and marshals corrected to Sept. 16, 1912, is now available. 5 cents. House document 916, 62d Congress, 2d session, is the text of the Fur-seal convention of this country with Great Britain, Russia, and Japan, for stopping pelagic sealing and rebuilding the seal herd. Public act 320, same Congress and session, is the act passed to carry out the purpose of the convention. An important document id these days of progressiveness is Senate document 936 of the 62d Congress, 2d session, being the Report of the American Federa- tion of Labor Committee on Industrial education. It is a document (with appendixes) of 114 pages, giving the opinions of those most vitally Interested in increasing the practical character of the public school system. 10 cents. The Interior Department has added to its series of illustrated guidebooks to the national show places and pleasure grounds Sketch of the Yosemite National Park and an account of the origin of the Yosemite and Hetch Hetchy valleys, a pamphlet with many new illustrations. The Superintendent of Documents sells it at 10 cents. Vol. 40, Land decisions, is now ready. Buckram, $1.75. Mines Bureau Bulletin 44 describes with many illustrations The first national mine-safety demonstrations, Pittsburgh, Oct. 30 and 31, 1911. 15 cents. There is a new pamphlet, The location of the monuments, markers, and tablets on the battlefield of Gettysburg. 5 cents. In Circular 100, Bureau of Plant Industry, Dr. Galloway, chief of the bureau, treats with expert knowledge and the help of many illustrations the subject: Distribution of seeds and plants by the Department of Agriculture. 5 cents. Bulletin 154 of the Animal Industry Bureau, Methods of classifying the lactic-acid bacteria, is one instance among many of the patience and minuteness of the operations of modern science. The microscopic plants and animals called variously bacteria, bacilli, and microbes, though invisible except under high- power microscopes and unknown even to science until comparatively a few years ago, are now classified and named with much particularity, though not with completeness. Probably the work will never be complete, because the world of the infinitely little is very large, and new forms and characters of 140 Septe mber , 1912 bacteria are being isolated at frequent intervals. The list of known species is already amazingly long, but sure to be much longer in the future unless the scientists succeed in their purpose and hope, which is the extirpation of the more noxious kinds. Bulletin 154 recognizes four groups of bacteria which in different ways ferment lactose to acid, or, in more common speech, produce the souring of milk. These groups are identified by their special characteris- tics, of which descriptions are given. The record of many days’ labors of many scientists, given in Bulletin 154, may be had by anybody for the insignificant sum of 5 cents. Tariff series 28, Manufactures Bureau, is Customs tariff of Japan. 10 cents.

LABOR BULLETINS The offer of the Superintendent of Documents, made in Price list no. 36. to supply the Bulletins of the Labor Bureau, Commerce and Labor Department, at a subscription rate, is necessarily withdrawn, owing to a change in the method of publication, concerning which an explanatory note was published in the Monthly catalogue for July, 1912, page 8. Formerly the Bulletin was a bi-monthly publication, usually not issued promptly at date, but in consecutive order. It carried a consecutive number, which also appeared in regular order. Under these circumstances, a subscrip- tion rate was readily made and filled. One hundred numbers were issued on the consecutive plan, the last one having been dated May, 1912. It was an- nounced by the Commissioner of Labor, under date of July 5, 1912, that while the consecutive number would be continued, the dating would not, the date of publication to be thereafter determined by the time consumed in preparing the manuscript. At the time of writing nos. 101-104 have not appeared. No. 105, part 1, and no. 106, part 1, are the only bulletins thus far published under the new plan. These are the numbers in the general numerical series of bulletins. The new plan, however, calls for the grouping of the bulletins in subseries. Bulletins 105 and 106 belong to the group having for general title Retail prices and cost of living series. In this series they are nos. 1 and 2. The specific title of no. 105, part 1, is Retail prices, 1890 to 1911. The specific title of no. 106, part 1, is Retail prices, 1890 to June, 1912. Part 2 of each bulletin will be taken up with tables of statistics. Librarians and others interested in public documents or engaged in supplying them to readers will note with regret the multiplication of numbers, titles, series, and parts. Each additional designation adds to the difficulty of classifi- cation and identification. It is evident that the establishment of subscription lists is not practicable. Single copies of the Labor Bureau bulletins will of course still be sold by the Superintendent of Documents, but at varying prices, depending on the size of each number. The price for nos. 105, part 1, and 106, part 1, is 5 cents each. Bulletins 101, 102, and 103 are announced to be published as nos. 1, 2, and 3 of the Workmen’s insurance and compensation series.

QUARANTINE AGAINST PLANT DISEASES Under the provisions of the Plant quarantine act (Public 275, 62d Congress, 2d session) a Federal Horticultural Board has been formed from the bureaus of Entomology and Plant Industry and the Forest Service. The members are five in number, the law providing that not more than two shall be taken from any one of the three bureaus designated to be represented on the Board. The new Board has devised rules and regulations for carrying out the pro- visions of the Plant quarantine act, and these have been published as Circular Sept embe r , 1912 141

41 of the Office of the Secretary of Agriculture. Copies can be supplied by the Superintendent of Documents at 5 cents each. The Board has also issued nos. 1-3 of a new numbered series of publications under the general title Notice of quarantine. The first Notice forbids the im- portation of white pine, western white pine, sugar pine, and stone pine from Great Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy, because of the existence in those countries of a tree disease known as white pine blister rust. This Notice is dated Sept. 16. The new quarantine law did not take effect in full till Oct. 1, but as to white pine blister rust, potato wart, and the Mediterranean fruit fly it took effect immediately on its passage, Aug. 20. It applies, of course, only to nursery stock, the living trees, not to lumber. No. 2 relates to the Mediter- ranean fruit fly and no. 3 to the Potato wart. Twenty-five thousand dollars was appropriated to meet the cost of carrying out the act, but it is expressly provided that the Government experts who may be assigned to service on the Federal Horticultural Board shall not get any of the money. ADDITIONS TO SUBSCRIPTION LISTS

The 2d edition of the Superintendent of Documents’ Price list 36, Government periodicals, shows 32 distinct periodical publications for which paying sub- scription lists have been established. No Government periodical once placed on this list has ever returned to the old wasteful and inefficient free-distribu- tion plan. That plan is wasteful, because it gives something for nothing. It is inefficient, because it supplies publications to many who ask for them only because they are free. It is the universal human experience that men care nothing, or next to nothing, for that which costs nothing, and that a free cir- culation is of little value either for advertising or for information. Only those who care enough for Government periodicals to pay for them the merely nominal sums which they cost can be expected to make any serious use of them. The list of Government periodicals which have been transferred from the free mailing lists to the paid subscription lists is constantly increasing. This month’s additions are the scientific Bulletin of the Standards Bureau and the Accident bulletin of the Interstate Commission. Both are quarterlies. The Standard Bureau’s series of bulletins report the results of a wide range of original research in the line of its work, which is, primarily, to establish exact standards in many fields of applied science. Subscriptions will begin with volume 9, volume 8 being now in course of publication. Each volume con- sists of 4 numbers, planned for quarterly issue. The issues are, however, some- times irregular in time of publication, and for this reason the subscriptions will be taken by volumes rather than by years. The subscription rate is $1.00, and each subscriber will receive the 4 numbers which compose a full volume. Each of the numbers contains from 150 to 250 pages, and is made up of several scientific papers. The publication of the Bulletin began in 1901. About 200 of the papers which it haS contained have been reprinted as “ separates ” or individual pamphlets. • The Accident bulletin has been regularly published by the Interstate Com- merce Commission since the first issue, which was for the quarter ended Sept 1901. Its statistics of railroad accidents are rather startling and discouraging reading, but they are doing something to supply the publicity which seems the likeliest means of securing greater care and caution in the working of the trans- portation lines. The reports on specific accidents, of which summaries are now appearing in the bulletin, are made under authority of the act of May 6, 1910, 61394—No. 213—12----- 2 142 Sept embe r , 1912 by trained inspectors, who visit the scene as soon as possible after the disaster, and endeavor, by taking sworn testimony and otherwise, to ascertain the cause and fix the responsibility. These summaries are not mere notes but interesting narratives, in most cases definitely fixing the responsibility for the accident. Persons reading the Accident bulletin for the first time cannot but be amazed at the wholesale slaughter which the grouping of accident statistics reveals. It is not a large publication, and the yearly subscription rate for it is only 20 cents. Subscriptions at $1.00 a year, for the Monthly bulletin of revenues and expenses of steam roads in the United States, published by the Interstate Com- merce Commission, will be taken by the Superintendent of Documents, beginning with no. 43, which is the number for June, 1912.
