nounces that, beginning with the July
number, The Forum will be published
quarterly, instead of monthly, as here
tofore. The general character OF the
magazine will he the same, and it's
high standard will be maintained, but
its purposes will be more specifically
those OF a review and outlook. It is
believed that by publishing quarterly
a review of the worlds events in every
field, as well as to some extent an out
look based on the conditions presented,
the essential features cam be fully Gov
ere. In order that the material may
present the proper perspective, the
magazine will be conducted in depart
ments each of which will be in charge
of one who is eminently qualified by
his training and connections to take
charge of it. In addition tofthe gen
eral reviews. each issue will contain
a number of special articles on sub
jects of paramount interest. A quar-
terly review of this nature will have
several advantages over the monthly
magazine. In the first place, the field
being covered but once in three
months, the busy man will be enabled
to keep in touch with all the import
ant questions Of the day by reading the
magazine ait his leisure. Secondly, it
will give those interested in a special
field an opportunity to find the essence
of what they wish in a comparatively
limited space. And, thirdly. the in
formation will be presented in such a
form that the magazine will appeal not
only to mature minds, but to every
member of the family. 4
did Columbus Discover American"
is the pertinent title of an article in
the June Everybody's. 1t is based on
the Investigations OF Henry Vignaud,
secretary of THE U. S.. legation in Paris,
who in a recent work devoted to the
subject declares Columbus to have
been an imposter and a forger. Wig
naud's researches extend over a period
of years and certainly disclose evidence
tending to unsettle Columbus's claim
as a great navigator and discoverer.
