Excerpt from The Wonder Book of Light Light, though one of the most difficult of all the natural forces to explain thoroughly, contains Within it so many wonders that it can be made attractive to young and old alike. The author has not hesitated, in either this or the other Wonder Books, to employ freely a few of the old, old fairy stories for illustrating some especially difficult point. It is his experience in the teaching of the natural sciences to the young, that the more unusual or out-of-the-way the illustrations employed, the greater the chance of their producing a marked effect on the mind.

Excerpt from The Atmosphere I may add that the task of editing has not been a light one; besides the necessity for compression and the consequent selection of the mat ter to be included, I have been obliged to exercise some sort of censor ship over the facts contained in the work. It is impossible for any one man to have a complete knowledge of so great a variety of subjects as are treated of by M. Flammarion, and the compiler of such a book must include many things taken from others, of the accuracy of which he is not fully competent to judge. In cases where a statement contained in the original work appeared to me clearly erroneous, I have corrected it.

Excerpt from The Mechanics of the Earth's Atmosphere: A Collection of Translations With the exception ofos. F. Clarke's well-known paper, to which frequent reference will be made, practically no work has been done upon the development of the American alligator. This is probably due to the great difficulties experienced in obtaining the necessary embryological material. Clarke, some twenty years ago, made three trips to the swamps of Florida in quest of the desired material. The writer has also spent parts of three summers in the southern swamps - once in the Everglades, once among the smaller swamps and lakes of central Florida, and once in the Okefenokee Swamp. For the first of these expeditions he is indebted to the Elizabeth Thompson Science Fund; but for the more successful trip, when most of the material for this work was collected, he is indebted to the Smithsonian Institution, from which a liberal grant of money to defray the expenses Of the expedition was received. The writer also desires to express his appreciation of the numerous courtesies that he has received from Dr. Samuel F. Clarke, especially for the loan of several excellent series of sections, from which a number of the earlier stages were drawn.
