There is an index of seven pages. TABLES FOR CALCULATING THE CUBIC CONTENTS OF EXCAVATIONS AND EMBANKMENTS. By John R. Hudson, M. Am. Soc. C. E. Third Edition. Cloth, 9 x 6 ins., 131 pp. New York, John Wiley & Sons, 1902. $1.00. The preface calls attention to a short and simple rule, which, in three-level ground, is well adapted to take the place of the ordinary method of "averaging end areas," and giving the same answer, while the process is one-third shorter. An example, given in the preface, shows that the entire process consists in addition, subtraction, and inspection of the tables, thus avoiding the errors likely to occur in the multiplications forming part of the usual methods. When three heights are taken at a station, the examples in the preface show, by comparison, the advantage of using the methods of computing earthwork quantities given in this work. Forms for cross-section books are shown, which will be found useful and convenient for recording and preserving field notes and office computations when these tables are used.
