POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY 



lief in tliis absurd crusade brought to 

 an English citj'. The author labels his 

 story as an attempt to forecast the " al- 

 most certain issue of the recent surren- 

 der of the English Government leaders 

 to the clamor of the antivaccinationists." 



The annual number of the Cumula- 

 tive Index for 1898, constituting the 

 third annual volume, is a book of seven 

 hundred and ninety-two pages, and in- 

 cludes one hundred periodicals. It in- 

 dexes — by authors, titles, and subjects, 

 including reviews and portraits — what is 

 important in the monthly and part of 

 that in the weekly publications of the 

 year. Special attention is given to por- 

 traits, reviews, and necrology. The In- 

 dex is a very useful publication to writ- 

 ers and students of eveiy soi't, recording 

 the articles as they appear month by 

 month in a form that makes the knowl- 



edge of them easily accessible to one who 

 si'oks it. The numbers succeeding the 

 first number of the volume include, be- 

 sides their own fresh matter, that which 

 has ai)peared in two or three previous 

 numbers, saving the necessity of hunt- 

 ing up scattered editions. The annual 

 volume contains all for the year. The 

 Index is edited in the Public Library of 

 Cleveland, Ohio, and is published by the 

 Ilolman-Taylor Company in the same 

 city. 



Two papers bearing upon instruction 

 of the deaf, published by the Volta Bu- 

 reau, Washington, are statistics, by Al- 

 exander G. Bell, of the relative use in the 

 United States of the several methods, 

 and a collection of International Reports 

 of Schools for the Deaf. The latter pa- 

 per contains reports from sixteen coun- 

 tries.
