Scientific American.
In view of the enlarging CONNER
ciaI relations between the United
States and the republics south of US,
we have concluded to publish a regu-
lar edition of the Scientific American
in the Spanish language, of which the
first number will be issued in Janu-
airy, and thereafter monthly until
more frequent publication is required.
This beautiful tongue prevails
throughout all the vast territories of
Cuba, the Spanish West Indies,
Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala. Nicar-
aqua, San Salvador, Costa RIGA, the
United States of Colombia, the United
States of Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru,
Bolivia, Chilli, the Argentine Repub-
lie, Paraguay, Uruguay, and in part
of the United States of BraZil-seven-
teen great countries, all enjoying with
us the republican forms of govern
ment, allied to us by all the ties of
neighborhood and political affinity,
having in common with us the attain
ment of the same great objects, the
promotion of industry, peace and
prosperity.
The States OF Mexico now provided
with railways and joined to the vast
railway system of this country, are al
ready beginning to experience import
ant benefits from this new connection.
The industries of Mexico are COM
mencing to flourish with new vigor,
her political and financial standing is
becoming solldified, her population is
increasing, and in all directions are
seen the evidences OF substantial i'm
proyement. The Tehuantepc railway
and the Canal of Nicaragua, from
ocean to ocean, are now in process of
construction. The railways are
being extended southwark through
Mexico toward Panama, and from
| Chile and the Argen tines northward
toward Bogota. All parts of Ameri-
ca, North and South. will soon be
| Joined together by iron highways,
over which vast exchanges of passen-
gers and products will be main
tanned.
Including the Americas, North aud
South. Cuba, Spain, and her colonial
possessions, the Spanish-speakin g
peoples of the world number in the
aggregate not less than seventy-f1ve
millions, and the landed area by them
occupied reaches nine millions oil
square miles.
Weather prophets among the old
fishermen along Long Island Sound
are at sad variance this year. One
old fellow predicts warm winter
because all the storms this fall have
cleared off warm, There is tradi-
ton, on the other hand, that smelt!
never make their way into the, Conn
ecticut rivers early in November un
less the winter Is going to be coli
, one. They have been coming int
the streams i'm armies this year, "say:
, another ancient fisherman. Moth
ing approaching them in number
has been seen for years"
