(powders, alloys, or metals); and tables of 

 solubilities of salts of the bases studied. 

 A comprehensive list of questions, stimula- 

 tive of thought, is appended. The book is 

 intended merely as a laboratory guide, and 

 should be supplemented by frequent "quiz 

 classes " and by constant personal attention. 

 The course has been satisfactorily given in 

 the Drexel Institute within the allotted time 

 of one laboratory period of four hours, and 

 one hour for a lecture or quiz per week, dur- 

 ing the school year of thirty-two weeks. 



Lest we Forget is the title which Presi- 

 deni David Starr Jordan has given to his 

 address before the graduating class of Leland 

 Stanford Junior University, May 25, 1898 — 

 " lest we forget" the dangers and duties and 

 responsibilities laid upon us by the war with 



Spain. Though delivered before the " policy 

 of expansion " was fully developed, the ad- 

 dress describes with prophetic accuracy the 

 dream of imperialism with which the minds 

 even of men usually sane and honest have 

 become infected, and points out a few of 

 the logical results to which they would lead, 

 and the dangers which will have to be in- 

 curred in gratifying them. We cite a few 

 of the strong points made by the author: 

 " Our question is not what we shall do with 

 Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines ; it is 

 what these prizes will do to us " " Shall 

 the war for Cuba Libre come to an inglorious 

 end ? If we make anything by it, it will be 

 most inglorious." " I believe that the move- 

 ment toward broad dominion, so eloquently 

 outlined by Mr. Olney, would be a step down- 

 ward."
