speak, by which the latter never near the point of danger, and are by these judicious means, protected from injury. A multitude of devices are figured for securing safety about the machines employed in the textile industries in printing and dyeing establishments, about grinding mills, grindstones and steam boilers. The mei2e mention here made of subjects treated, many of which are familiar to us, gives no idea whatever of the fulness and variety of the illustrations on these pages, each one is like a word defined in the New Century Dictionary, where examples are expected an exhaustive treatise is given. We should be encouraged by the humanitarian aim and accomplished results of this committee to solicit the good-will at least of factory managers, professors, mechanical engineers and manufacturers. Valuable aid to and enlargement of this work could be had by decreeing that the curriculum of technical colleges should include the study of safety appliances for the prevention of accidents. J . H .
