Magazine Notices.

The January Popular Science Monthly is
full Of interest. 1t opens with Spencer's third
paper on The Development of Political Insti-
tions, which is devoted to the subject of Politi-
cal 1ntegration. Evolution, of course carries
us back and investigates how things were pro-
duced or grew up. The present article is de-
voted to an account Of the way communities
first became unified or consolidated in their
governmental character. There are forces by
which societies become politically organized,
and forces of disintegration. Mr. Spencer
traces out the operation of the various causes
by which communities become early united
for civil cooperation. The second article is
by DIR. Felix L. Oswald, on the subject of Diet.
1t is an interesting paper, and we'll calculated
to set people thinking on this most practical of
all subjects. Dr. Oswald is very brilliant
writer, and we are glad to observe that he has
been secured for series of articles in the
Monthly on Physical Education, of which the
present contribution is the first. The subject
OF diet will be continued in the February num-
Der. Professor Tyndall's disquisition on The
Sabbath is continued. Mr.. c. M. Lungren
continues his descriptions of Domestic Motors,
and gives an illustrated article on Steam and
Hot-Air Engines, tuch as are adapted for
common uses. Professor F. w. Clarke ex.
patiates briefly but suggestively on The
Advantages Of Ignorance-many will be
interested. There is an elaborate essay
on 4Esthetic Evolution in Man, by Pro-
fessor Grant Allen. The author is profound
ly familiar with tho evolution philosophy,
and is one Of the highest living authorities on
aesthetic science. Professor Mendonhall, of
the Toxic University, contributes striking
and instructive account Of a Japanese Ty-
phoon, the effects of which are made clear by
illustrations There is next paper by Pro-
lessor Heidenhain on the recent Investigations
In Artificial Hypnotism. DR.. Leonard
Waldo communicates an illustrated article of
scientific merit on Examination of Thermom-
eters at the Yale Observatory. Dr.. Lauder
Brunton's second paper on Indigestion as
Cause of Nervous Depression is given in the
January Monthly" The practical applica-
tions of the discussion are here vividly brought
out; and, while the subject is Of general inter-
est, it is of very special significance to BRAIN
workers and persons of sedentary habits. DR..
J. Hammond has readable article, with illus
trations, on The Oil-Plants of French
Guiana. Herbert Spencer's Criticisms Cor
rected goes on, and he now pays his respects
to Professors Guthrie and Birks. There is a
readable sketch, with portrait, of the late
General Albert ]. Myer, of the Storm-Signal
Service. The editorial department is unusually
varied and full in all its divisions; and if the
promise of the present number is maintained,
The Popular Science Monthly for 1881 will
excel even the high order Of excellence that it
has attained in the past. New York: d. APP

Probable Murder in Hoboken,


NEW YORK, Dec 3O.-There is much excite
ment at Hoboken, N. j., over the mysterious
death of Mrs Sophia Friecken, the wife Of
wealthy German tobacco dealer;doing business
in this city. Both husband and wife are we'll
known in German circles, and occupy promi-
nent position in Hoboken society. Mrs.
Friecken was found strangled in her bathroom
with suspicious circumstances surrounding her
death. For some time she has been separated
from her husband, and been laboring under
great mental depression. She is the mother of
three children. The position of the body and
want of sufficient marks on her neck, lead to
the belief that she was murdered, and the cord
attached to the neck afterldeath. Gerhardine
Brede, pretty young German servant girl in
the family, and the husband of the dead
woman, were placed under arrest and locked
up, on the order of the coroner. The neigh
bors testify that the couple lived very unhap-
PLY together previous to the separation and
had many desperate quarrels. The husband
visited the house last night, and was also there
during greater part of the day He says he did
not see his wife. There is a report Of intimacy
between the husband and servant, who, the
neighbors say, is the cause of all the trouble.
