The Popular Science Monthly,
IRssGbIished Nay, Is72.l
Conducted by Prof E. L. Youmans.

The Popular Science Monthly was started TO mo-
mote the diffusion OF valuable Scientific knowIedge
readable ana attractive form, among all classes Of
the community, and has thus far met q want supplied
by no other periodical in the United States.
The great feature Of the magazine is that its con-
tents are NOT wat science uas ten or more years
since but what it is to-day, fresh from the study the
laboratory and the experiment: clothed in the Ian
guage Of the authors, inventors and scientists them
selves, which comprise the leading minds of En- gland
France, Germany, and the United States. Among
popular articles covering the whole range Of natural
science, we have the latest thoughts and words OF
Herbert Spencer, and Professors Huxley Typdal and
Il, A. Proctor. Since the start, il has proved grat
flying success to every friend OF scientific progress
Ald universal education; aud those who believed that
science could not be made anything but dry study
disappointed. The press all over the land lie warmly
commenting it. We subjoin few eucomiums from
those recently given:
