To say that this splendid work
OF science and art Is finer and better
than ever, is s,a,ing !, mildly. The
demand for il is far beyond ali pre-
yious years. To say that such re-
suits, reaching through thirty years,
are not based upon sound sense and
usefulness. is an insult TO the intel
ligence of the millions. Prof.
Hicks, through this great Almanac,
and his famous family and scientific
journal, Word and Works, is doing
a work for the whole people not
approached by any ogher man OF
publication. a fair test win prove
this to any reasonable person. Add
ed to the most luminous course in
astronomy for 1903, forecasts Of
storms and weather are given, as
never before, for every day IN the
year, all eharmingly illustrated with
nearly two hundred engrayings.
