periodical has full access to duplicate
copies and advance proofs of all
the articles prepared for the other.
The American magazine has been. upon
the average, some twenty or thirty pages
larger than its English contempo-
rary, and has been enabled to make

differing somewhat in method, the
two periodicals. appear to be harmoni-

the latest events of the world and pre-
sents them summarily, with abundant
| illustrations and in a well-digested, sue
cinct fashion that saves the time of the
reader and carries him on q straight,
| clear line through the complexities of
