YOUMANS This periodical was started {in 1872) to promote the diffusion of valuable scienli/ie knowledge, in a readable and attractive form, among all classes of the community, and has thus far met a want supplied by no other mcu'-a'.iiie in the L'nited States. Ten volumes have now appeared, which are tilled with iiistrnetive and iiiti-rcstiuc aril, les and ab- stracts of articles, original, selected, translated, and illustrated. Ironi the jieus of the leading scientific men of difterent countries. Accounts of important scientific discoveries, the application of science to the prac- tical arts, and the latest views put forth concerninfr natural phenomena, have been civen hyu'imiutif of the hl-rhest authority. Prominent attention has been also devoted to tho.se various .sciences which help to a better understanding of the nature of man, to the lnarin<;s of science upon the questions of society and government, to scientific education, and to the conflicts which spring from the progressive nature of scien- tific knowledge. The Popular Sciknce Monthly has long since ceased to be an experiment. It has passed into a circulation far beyond the most sanguine hopes .it fii-st entertained, and the cordial and Intelligent approval which it has everywhere met, shows thiit its close and instructive discussions have been Vi-il a]ipreciatert bv the reading portion of the Amerie:ui people. It has not been its policy to make boastful ].ruioises of great things to be done In the future, but rather to appeal to what it has already accomplished as giving it a claim upon popular patronage. But no pains will be spared to improve it and make it still more worthy of liberal support, and still more a necessity to the cultivated classes of the coimtry. The following quotations illustrate the way it has been habitually spoken of liy the press: ■' This is a highly-auspicious beginning of a use- ful and much-needed enterprise in the way of pub- lication, for which the public owe a special debt of obligation to Messrs.

Its corps of contribu- tors comprise many of the ablest minds known to science and literature.
