"Mr. Eddy's kites are of a nearly plane surface, slightly convex in front,
and without tails. His experiments with them are revealing wonderful facts
regarding atmospheric electricity."
DEAR MR. EDITOR:
THE GREAT ROUND WORLD is very interesting, I think,
when you commence it. I think as another little girl thinks,
that the inventions made nowadays are wonderful; indeed, if I
could I would like to talk to the people up in Mars, if there
are any to talk to. My teacher's name is Miss Davis, and she
reads THE GREAT ROUND WORLD to us.
Yours truly,
LAURA VAN C.
TROY, OHIO, February 13, 1897.
DEAR MR. EDITOR:
I have a book by the name of "In Mythland." I like it so much
that I thought I would write and tell you about it, so as other
children seven years old like me would know of it, and could
read it. Mother reads THE GREAT ROUND WORLD to me every
week, and I like it very much. Mother is reading me a book
called "Hans Brinker; or, The Silver Skates." A story of life in
Holland. By Mary Mapes Dodge. My book has many pictures of
Holland in it.
Yours truly,
THEODORE S.K.
321 WEST 82d STREET, February 15, 1897.
BOOK REVIEWS.
A new book has been sent us, entitled "Three of Us." The title is
explained by the cover, which gives the bright faces of three fine
dogs--Barney, a bull-dog, Cossack, a wolf-hound, and Rex, a St. Bernard.
The book has 327 pages, and tells the stories of the three dogs--the last
one, Rex, telling his own "autobow-wow-ography."
It is written and also illustrated with many drawings by Izora C.
Chandler, and published by Eaton & Mains, 150 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
The other day a number of letters were shown us which had been written
about this book by some bright little people of Hanover, N.H.
The book was given to the school, and one of the teachers read it aloud to
the scholars.
This pleased them so much that they each wrote a letter to the lady who
had made the gift. We publish one of these letters:
"My Dear Mrs. Richardson:
"It was very kind of you to give the book, "Three of Us," to the
school.
"I enjoyed Barney and Cossack very much. I was interested in Rex
also.
"Barney was very interesting because he did so many brave deeds.
"I liked Cossack because the little boy's kindness to the dog
saved the life of his own father.
"If I were to have a dog I think I would like Barney.
"I thank you very much for the book.
"Yours sincerely,
"EMMA M. HALL."
