NATURAL SCIENCE: 



A Monthly Review of Scientific Progress. 



No. 64. Vol. X. JUNE, 1897. 



NOTES AND COMMENTS. 



Change of Address. 



IT is now two years and a half since we attempted to make a bold 

 push for success by assuming more direct control of the publishing 

 of this Review. While we have succeeded, at least as much as we 

 anticipated, in increasing our circulation, and in decreasing our 

 financial loss, we have nevertheless found the combination of 

 pubHsher's with editor's duties too great a tax upon our time and 

 strength. It is therefore with much pleasure that we draw the

 which our most heartfelt thanks can but poorly repay them. We 

 trust, however, that. they, as well as our readers, will recognise that 

 our efforts, if occasionally mistaken, are sincere ; and that our aims 

 are such as to demand the cordial help of all who desire the advance- 

 ment of science and the independence of scientific thought. 



It is hoped that the July number, which begins our eleventh 

 Volume, will be specially attractive, by reason of the eminence of the 

 contributors to it, and the illustrations that are being prepared. 

 Orders for Natural Science, and all communications to the Editor^ 

 should henceforth be addressed to the care of Messrs. J. M. Dent 

 and Co., 67 St. James's Street, London, S.W. 



The Scientific Method in Education. 



It is one of the most hopeful signs of the times that, throughout 

 that half of the community which is engaged in teaching the other, a 

 strong desire is being manifested that the rising generation may be
