"Am a member of the City Club's 'Committee on the Development of the Port.'

"In odd moments I am writing a series of articles on graphic statistics to appear in the Engineering Magazine. A book on 'Graphic Statistics' is about ready to go to press. This book contains over one hundred and fifty charts and diagrams as a suggestion toward universally standard methods of making figures and quantitative facts readily understandable to the average busy man. A group of men who believe thoroughly that facts can be presented more vividly by diagrammatic methods have organized the Statistical Bureau, with office in the Transit Building, 7 East 42d St., New York. The business is rather general in scope, but especial attention is paid to the operating records and financial reports of industrial corporations and railroads. "Am a full-fledged member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The German engineers have invited the members of the Society to visit Germany this summer and make a long tour to see the industrial development of the country. We have chartered the whole steamer 'Victoria Louise,' of the Hamburg-American Line, sailing June 10th.
