No storekeeper, builder, trader, planter—any one, in fact, who uses iron-work and building materials in any shape or form—should be with out “The Referee,” the extremely valuable book of guides and tables compiled and issued free by Messrs. John Lysaght (Aus.), Ltd., of 33 Macquarie Place, Sydney. It contains a re markable variety of tables of weights and measurements relating to all kinds of sheet iron, galvanised iron, nails, screws, bolts, wire, piping, tanks, roof fittings.

There is also much useful tabulated informa tion relating to such building requirements as cement, glass, paint, oil, etc. The book is, in fact, an indispensable ready-reckoner for all persons who sell or use building materials and, properly used, it will save hours of time to the man who has to make building calculations. It

is well bound and has now been published in 15 editions.
