APPLETONS'
POPULAR SCIENCE
r1ONTHLY
FOR JANUARY.

In order to adapt it more closely to the
wants of the general public, and to make
it more than ever before the medium of
readable and trustworthy information
on scientific subjects, the publishers of
Appletons' Popular Science Monthly in
augurate with this number several
marked changes in the magazine which
will commend themselves to all classes
of readers.

to twenty-five cents, which puts the
publication within the reach of every
one who cares to keep up with the rap.

portant applications of new facts in the
arts and industries.
In the next place, the topics discussed
are to be given broader range, thus en-.
lsreing the scope of the magazine as a
vehicle of useful and entertaining knowl
edge, and extending its appeal to a wild
er circle of readers. In word, the phi.
losophy of science which has here tofore
been prominent feature of the maga.
zine is to give place to the facts and
principles that apply directly to the con-
Germs of everyday life.
A third feature of the new departure
will be the employment of distinguished
specialists as writer's on their respective
subjects, who are able to present their
ideas in form suited to the general
reader, and whose names give what
they have to say the stamp of accuracy
and authority.
These and some minor changes of form
are introduced in the present number.
To mention but few of the articles, Sir
Robert Ball, president of the Royal As.
Economical Society, writes of the advance
of astronomy in the Nineteenth Century y
Prof. Charles E. Monroe treats of the
applications of explosives, which in a

keep from shrinking; shrinking is
caused by the interlacing of wool fibres !;

A CROWDED HOUSE.

The Andrews Opera Co., upheld
their high standard again last night
before crowded house.
The opera presented was "Carmen"
and although very difficult was sung
and acted IN an excellent manner.
Miss Myrta French fairly surpassed
herself as Carmen not only in the
singing but as an actress. Her support
by f. w. Walters and Sig. Cantoni
was all that could be desired. The
latter was new actor in this play and
carried just for that purpose. Miss
Irene Palmer as Michalla the peasant
girl was very good. She has sweet
voice and her acting was in proper
ton.
The others taking the principal
parts were as usual good and the
chorus for the small number of per-
sons engaged therein was beyond
doubt hard to beat.
The Co., left for Pittsburgh last
night where a swell lunch will be
placed before them al the expense of
