ing article in the Engineering Magazine
for July is Edward Atkinson's discussion

conditions are clearly traced to uncertain
financial legislation and deficient reve-
nue.. and the conclusion enforced by con-
else tabular statements, so admira bly, ar
ranged that they may be read at a
glance, so plain that the logical deduction
entorces itself, and SO authoritative that
their argument is unanswerable Mr.. At

ttstician Is uneXceled and the article is a
valuable addition TO the excellent series

The Bostonian for July opens with the
important announcement that beginning
with the August number the publication
will henceforth be known as the National
Magazine. This step is eminently we'll
advised, as the magazine itself has for
some time been a coming periodical in the
cosmopolitan field, but has been handi-
capped considerably by the local character
of its original name. Under its new title
however, this prejudice Will be done away
with, and the magazine, which promises
much, will soon find its place in the front
rank of the 10-cent periodical literature
