    THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY. CONDUCTED BY E. L. AND W. J. YOUMANS. The PopuiAR Science Monthly was established a dozen ye rs ago to bring before the general public tbe results of scientific thought on many large and important questions which could find no expres- sion in the current periodicals. Scientific inquiry was penetrating many new fields, extending important knowledge, and profoundly affecting opinion upon numberless questions of speculative and prac- tical interest. It was the policy of this magazine at the outset, and has been constantly adhered to since, to obtain the ablest statements from the most distinguished scientific men of all countries in their bearing upon the higher problems of investigation. Leaving the dry and technical details of science, which are of chief concern to spe- cialists, to the journals devoted to them, The Poptjlae Science Monthly has dealt with those more general and practical subjects which are of the greatest interest and importance to the people at large. Science is the great agency of improvement in this age, private and public, individual, social, professional, and industrial. In its irresist- ible progress it touches everywhere, and affects everybody. It gives law to the material interests of the community, and modifies its ideas, opinions, and beliefs, so that all have an interest in being informed of its advancement. Those, therefore, who desire to know what is going on in the world of thought in these stirring times, when new knowledge is rapidly extending, and old errors are giving way, will find that they can keep informed only by subscribing for The Popu- lar Science Monthly. Terms: $500 per annum, or 50 cents a number; cloth covers for the voltimes, 50 cents each. The volumes begin with May and November of each year, and subscriptions may begin at any time. A club of five will be supplied for $20.00 per annum.
