"A new star has blazed up in the
northwestern heavens, the like of
which has rot happened for almost
300 years. The remarkable feature
of this star is it's brilliaucy. 1t is
slightly brighter than the first mag
nitude and is the equal of its neigh
bors, 1Capella, Aldebaran and Rigel.
Its color is whitish yellow. 1t has
probably come up to its great bright
ness in very few days, for no such
star was noticed by observers of that
part of the sky a week ago. Because
of its sudden appearance it will prob
ably be classed among the "tempo-
rary stars"-stars which have blazed
up suddenly and then gradually
faded away. AS there have been
only eleven such stars noticed in the
history of astronomy, it will be seen
that this addition will occupy an inn
portant place in this fascinating sci.

Perhaps the most important arti-
Gle of the year for parents to read is
paper in the March number of
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly by
Edward Marshall on Scientific
School Study. 1t is the first author
itative account which has been pub
lished of the remarkable investiga-
tions recently conducted in Chicago,

Two contributions of immediate in
terest in Ainslee's for March are
1.-THE Miles-Corbin Feud, by l.. A.
Coolidge, and "Yellow Journals" by
Allen Sangree. The first of these is
remarkably frank account of the
long continued friction in the war de-
partment. The article on yellow

made, and aims to explain why they
are made as they are.

Almost every part of the globe is
| represented in Scribner's Magazine
for March, and in every case by some
unknown writer who has actually
visited the country which he de-
scribes. Four OF the contributors are
distinguished correspondents who
have had many romantic experiences.
Their articles in this number have to
do with the changing conditions
brought about by recent upheavels.
The March number of The Forum
is of extraordinary interest. Sir John
G. Bourinot, chief clerk of the Cana
dian House of Commons contributes
an article on British Rule in the
| Dominion of Canada," detailing the
political history of Canada under
British rule. Hon. Charles DENLY,
formerly United States Minister to
China, writes an article entitled
"What of the Democratic Party" in
which he discusses the vital questions
of the future and their political re-
lations to party action.
