This publication is issued simultaneously
in the United States and Great Britain,
and is an excellent compendium of what is
doing in the literary world OF English
speaking people. Every prominent period
ical is reviewed and a short summary given
of leading articles in a comprehensive man
ner, that leave even the busiest with little
excuse for want OF acquaintance with the
topics of the day. The field it covers is an
extended one, and there are photographs of
men and women who are more or less con-
spicuous in movements political, scientific
and philanthropic. The pages devoted to
reproducing caricatures are valuable con-
tributions TO history, and for them if not
for anything else, every number of the Re
view should be preserved. a century
hence the value of these can hardly be over
estimated

Houghton, Mifiin & Co, publishers, Bos-

The opening pages OF the Atlantic for

French Canada, in that part known as
Acadia. Mrs. Catherwood is doing for the
once Northern possessions of France what
Gable has done for the country in Louisiana
that was settled by immigrants of the same
nationality. The scene of the story in this
number is laid at Fort ST. John on the bay
Of Fundy, and 1t promises TO be equal in

preceded it.
Rodolfo Lonciani contributes in most
pleasing style much that is new relating to
the catacCmbS, where the early Christians
at Rome buried their dead. As proper
sequel there is 1.-THE Old Rome and the
New" by w. 7. Stillman. Octave Thanet,
in plantation Life in Arkansas shows
that she exercises the same careful surveil-
ance over the habits OF mankind in its nat
uralness which she has done among the
birds, with whose ways she is so familiar.
THE Story of Long Inheritance is
hardly of the nature that the reader would
expect Mr.. William A Davis, the writer,
instead of story telling, occupies the space
in showing the reader the source and the
eccentricities OF tornadoes, cyclones and
other atmospheric disturbances, holding
that they are governed by eternal laws of
physical inheritance that have been in oper
alton since the scgree alton of chaos.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

A new apparatus for measuring
the mean level of the sea has lately
been installed at Marseilles. 1t is
based on the principle that when ID
liquid wave traverses a capillary
tube or porous partition, its am
plitude diminishes and il is retard-
ed in it's phases without the mean
level of the wave changing,
1t consists of glass tube, the
lower end of which communicates
by a flexible pipe with a plunger
which is lowered beneath the low
est water level. There are two
cells IN the plunger, the lower be.
ing filled with sand and open to the
sea, the result being that the col
umn of water in the tube rises and
falls very little with the tides, and
the mean sea level can be read
from a graduated scale.
TO PREVENT PAINT FROM SCALING.
To prevent the paint on iron or
wood from scaling off when exposed
to the weather, first thoroughly
wash the parts to be painted and
then brush over the surface with
hot linseed oil. By following this
method, especially with iron arti-
Giles, no scaling of the paint will
occur. In cases where the articles
to be painted are small and can be
readily heated, it Is better to heat
them and plunge them into the oil.
The thin liquid oil when hot enters
into the pores of the metal, alb
serbs the moisture, and the paint
then applied SO firmly adheres that
frost, rain or air cannot effect sep
aration.
The following test for watered
milk is simplicity itself. A WELL

added to the milk even in small
proportions the fluid will not adj
