POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY.
The Popular Science Monthly leads all tho
magazines Of the day in tho freshness and galuo
OF its topics, and it's sympathy with tho fore
most scientific thought Of the day. It is idle for
nero itterateurs md clnssicists to attempt to
stay the modern tide. There are cycles Of intel
1cctual as we'll IS political history. There is n
greater work for writer's and thinkers, and bet
ter pastima for readers, than can be found in
paths that simply lead back to culture which,
however beautiful and lasting it may
DO. cannot ELL all the scope Of cur
activities. Professor Huxley may be too radical
in his sweeping condemnation Of poetry, but
there is in his impatience an clement of just
criticism. Certainly he is right in demanding
an equal, if not q superior, rank for scientific
literature, which countless Investigators and re-
corders are now amassing on evory side. In tho
time Of Lord Bacon, people would write
and think of nothing but the dreary
aad fruitlesB logic and controversies
Of erote philosophies. He wrought q
great change by directing mental effort to OBJ
eeryation. scientific classification, and practical
works. It is not difficult to SEQ that mon like
Darwin, Huxley, Tyndal1, Spencer, and tho host
Of collaborators that grows apace each day, are
agents in revolution not altogether dissimilar.

What distinguished critic has said Of Tennyson
is true OF all; they complete an ago.
| Tho others whom ne have just mentioned
| have the good fortune to begin IN age,-an ago
OF untrammelled thought, active inquiry, fear
less reform, practical resnlts,-an age that will
not only enrich our daily lives, and make human
ity better by making it healthier and more COM
Portable, but will quicken our brains and
rehabilitate oven our poetry and romances with
new imagery, analogics, and suggestions. This
| is the school which will attract the eager and
| fresh allegiance Of young men of ambition, and
! will, before long, imprint it's stamp on al the
activities Of our society In this work, Professor
| Youmans will do his share and under his con-
troll, the Popular Science Nontly will do much
to widen the culture demanded by modern life.
