CONDUCTED

THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTY was start
ed to promote tbe diffusion Of valuable sci
entiic knowledge, in q readable and at
~tractive form, among all classes Of the com
munitv, and has thus far met a want sup.
piled by no other periodical in the United
States.
The great feature Of the magazine is,
that its contents are not what science WaS
ten Or more years since, but what it rs to-
day, fresh from the study, the laboratory,
and the experiment: clothed in the Ian
guage of the authors, inventors, and sci
%entists themselves, which comprise the
leading minds of England, france, Ger.
many 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, Tyndall, and R. A.
Proctor. Since the start, it has proved a
gratifying success to every friend of sci.
entiic progress and universal education
and those who believed that science could
not be made anything but dry study are
disappointed.
The press all over the land is warmly
commendicg it. We subjoin a few encom-
inms from those recently given:
