A noticeable characteristic of THE En-
gineering Magazine" New York; is the
absence of that strictly technical quality
which would tit it for engineering read
ers alone. In preparing the July number
the editor has been fortunate in the selec-
ton of matter appealing strongly to the
interest OF the general reader. In The
Danger Lurking Behind Strikes" Will
ian Nelson Black discusses the question
whether we are drifting toward stronger
government in the efforts to suppress up
risings among the industrial classes. OF
much general interest is an illustrated
article on ''Saving a Wrecked VESSEL"
by Gustav kobbe. 1.-THE Quarrying
Methods of the Ancients," by w. Il.
Durfee. Early Steamboats, on the Great
Lakes" by j. +. Holloway, is full of in
teresting "reminiscences and important
facts regarding the beginnings of a great
interest. There is good paper on the
great Siberian railway, one on our trade
relations with Cuba, two important cleo
trical papers, and the usual half-dozen
admirable editorial departments.
"Donahoe's Magazine" (Boston) con-
tinues to blaze the way to mutual appre-
citation and honest friendship between
Christian Americans, Catholic and Pro-
testant. The leading article of "Dona-
hoes" this month is thoroughly in line
with the great purpose Of the magazine; it
bears the title-surprising to find in
Catholic magazine-"The Blessings of the
A. 2. A." The article itself is more
striking even than the title. 1t is a fear
less exposition of present religious
wrongs and political abuses, and will be
remembered long after it is read. An
other feature is after Death: the Catho-
lie Church and Cremation" by Able
Hogan of Washington University, in
which the position of the Catholic Church
regarding the disposition OF the dead is
stated fully. for the first time, we believe,
in an American periodical. There are
plenty of light reading, pretty pictures,
good poems, and some very thoughtful
Talks to the Typewriter" in this num-
