and dignities in the scientific world,
of her success as an instructor and of
the assistance she gave to the higher
education Of women while 1t was still
in the experimental stages, has often
been told and is more or less familiar
to the public. Her sisters account of
her life does not linger unnecessarily
upon these things, but is more espec-

woman herself. In this the biographer
is aided by Miss Mitchell's letters and

personal contact could do, the genuine

The latest additions to Appleton's
Library of Useful Stories are THE
Story Of the Solar System" by G.. f.
Chambers, and 1.-THE Story of Electric
ity," by John Munro. Both are va1u-
able little books, containing a large
amount of information clearly and
simply expressed. The latter, espe-
cially, should be widely read in these
days when the use Of electricity is
so much more common than a little
practical knowledge of It, The expo
sition of the theories and the develop
ment Of electricity is as lucid as it can
be made, and the accounts of it's major
and minor uses are clear and untech-
meal, and also up to date, including,
as they do, an explanation Of the
Roentgen rays as far as they have
yet been explained.
