Famous Problems and Other Monographs. F. Klein, W. F. Sheppard, P. A. MacMahon, and L. J. Mordell. Chelsea, New York, 1955. xix - 321 pp. $3.25.
This volume includes the reprints of four ]7flathe- matical monographs. Its title is taken from the first monograph Famous Problems of Elementary Geometry by the great Felix Klein, published in German in the year 1895 and then translated into many other languages. The English translation is by W. W. Beman and D. E. Smith, with supple- mentary notes (mostly of a historical character) by R. C. Archibald. In a masterly manner, Klein discussed questions of elementary constructions by means of straightedge and compasses for the clas- sical problems of the duplication of the cube, the trisection of an angle, and the quadrature of the circle. He also discussed the possible elementary constructions of regular polygons and finally gave the (more difficult) proofs for the transcendental character of the numbers e (Hermite.) and 7r (Lindemann). This last result then implies the im-
possibility of squaring the circle by eleinentary means.
The three other inonographs are From Determi- nant to Tensor by W. F. Sheppard (1923) in which tensors are discussed in general as well as in their more limited sense, as applied to the theory of relativity; An Introduction to Combinatory Analy- sis by P. A. MacMahon (1920); and Three Lectures on Fermat's Last T'heorem by L. J. Mordell (1920). This last monograph treats, in a lucid manner, Fermat's (in general still unproved) "last theorem" -that is, the conjecture that the equation x& 4- y -- zil, for any integer n > 2, cannot be solved by (nonvanishing) integer values of x, y, z. Proofs for the elementary cases n = 3, 4, 5, 7 are discussed, and then the deep and original research of Kum- mer and his introduction of ideal numbers is very clearly and readably presented. It may be added that at present (going beyond the results quoted by Mordell) Fermat's conjecture is proved for every integer n $ 2 that is smaller than 2521.

These suggestions, if followed by authors, will serve to expedite the reviewing and processing of articles and to reduce appreciably the costs of proc- essing and printing.
Every article, letter, or book review is accepted with the understanding that it has not been pub- lished or accepted for publication elsewhere. (Oc- casionally an important article is reprinted from another periodical, usually one not readily avail- able to readers of The Scientific Monthly, but this is always done by special arrangement with the author.)
An article should receive a thorough review be- fore submission, if possible by someone other than the author.
The manuscript should be submitted in dupli- cate. For the first copy, use a good grade of 8.5- by 11-in. nontransparent paper. All copy, including quotations, footnotes, tables, literature references, and legends for figures, should be double-spaced. Leave margins of at least 1.5 in. at the sides and at the top and bottom.
Pages that are heavily corrected should be re- typed. Do not insert corrections and additions along the margin; the printer works with the type- script mounted in a frame that exposes only a few lines at a time.
Illustrations. A brief legend should be provided for every diagram and photograph. It should not be incorporated in the figure. All legends are set in type by the printer and, hence, should be gathered together on a separate sheet.
On the margin or back of each illustration, write in pencil the number of the figure, name of the author, and abbreviated title of the article. All illustrations should be packed carefully with card- board to avoid damage in mailing. Cracks and marks made by paper clips or pressure of writing ruin photographs for reproduction.
Line drawings should be made with India ink on heavy white drawing paper or blue tracing cloth. A good size for a drawing is twice that de- sired for the printed figure, with all lettering and line thicknesses similarly enlarged. One-column-
width illustrations are reproduced 3 in. wide; full-page-width illustrations, 678 in. wide.
Diagrams containing little detail should be planned so that the printed figure can be made one column wide or less. For presenting apparatus, particularly if it is complicated, a line drawing is usually better than a photograph.
If a graph is drawn on coordinate paper, the paper must be blue lined. Lines that are to be reproduced should be ruled over in black and made thinner than the lines of the curves and those of the frame.
For detailed information on the preparation of graphs, on the physical condition of the manu- script, and on the approach to book reviewing, see Science 123, 715 (27 April 1956).
Photographs should have a glossy finish. For satisfactory reproduction, a print must be un- blurred and must show sharp contrast between liglht and dark areas.
T'ables. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet and should be provided with a title. Tables sliould be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals.
References and notes. The only footnotes are to be those appended to tables. All other explanatory notes, including acknowledgments and authoriza- tion for publication, and literature references are to be numbered consecutively and placed at the end of the article, under the heading "References and Notes," as is shown in the following example. All numbered references and notes are to be keyed into the text.

Do you have a problem in structural engineering where the reciprocating motion of rigid elements can be improved by the lighter weight and greater resist- ance to deformation of Kentanium?
Perhaps it is a problem where the mass of a piston, a reciprocating block or a lever causes too much vibra- tion in a machine if you run it as fast as you'd like.
Kentanium may help you. Kentanium, a titanium carbide, weighs about two-
thirds as much as steel and is 60% higher in Young's Modulus of Elasticity. It is a material with high resistance to wear, to oxidation and corrosion, to thermal shock, and retains high strength at tempera- tures where refractory alloys deform plastically.
Comparative Physical and Mechanical Properties
YME Tensile Strength d YME TS million psi psi (lbs/cu. in.) d d x 106 X 103
Typical Applications for Kentanium Because of these unique properties, Kentanium is now in every engineer's mind for such applications as gas turbine blades, vane rings, impellers; diesel engine valve seats; hot rod mill guide inserts; bearings; bush- ings in contact with liquid metals; flame tubes; hot hardness tester balls; thermocouple protection tubes; anvils for spot welding; pressure sleeves. Kentanium can be supplied in tubes, rods, bars and highly com- plex shapes.
Kentanium may be the material you have been searching for to help you get your idea off the drawing board into production. Write to KENNAMETAL INC., Dept. MS, Latrobe, Pa.
You Should Have This Booklet Characteristics of Kennametal* Booklet No. B-111 gives the physical, mechanical and corrosive proper- ties of Kentanium and Kennametal, data on the various grades and applications of these versatile engineering materials.
