new age-the age of electricity-in its
three absorbing articles on the newest

cribed by Mr.. j. K. Cravath. This paper
is followed by two more under the title

sketches the picturesque career of Thorn

Edison presents fully the great inventors
views of the further triUmphs in electri-
cal science that are about to come to US.

the Edison article is Mr.. j. Munro's char
acter sketch on Sir William Thomson,
Lord Kelvin Mr.. Munro tells how
Lord Kelvin made the Atlantic cable
possible and he invented the best mari

Mnsey's Magazine for July contains an
amount of meat which puts to shame the
traditional egg. There are three serials:

full sweepot the storyO 'Derringforth,'
MIR Munsev's story of New York life, and
the beginning of a new story by Richard
Mace MuuSeEs Magazine makes u spec
ialty of clever short stories, and the July
number more than lives up to this reputa
ton, bringing out four, every one of
which is as crisp as new ribbon. Two
of them are illustrated by Wilson de Meza,
the brilliant artist who has lately died.

its beginning as the best reflector OF the
men of the tune. In the July number are
