Children will not then have spindle legs and weak digestion, but will be robust, 

 well-formed, and healthy. 



Cooking, then, will not be drudgery, but a pleasant, useful, honored profess- 

 ion. Let each housewife aid in bringing about these conditions by carefully 

 furnishing and overseeing her own kitchen. This does not mean that she must 

 cook, but she must be the officer in command. Sarah Tyson Rorer.

A Pocket Magnifier and a Pocket Microscope. 



Of the various sciences in which it is desirable nowadays to conduct work 

 in the field as well as in the laboratory, geology seems to struggle under the 

 heaviest load of equipment. At best the geological kit is seldom small or light, 

 at worst it is an impediment. 

 In all departments the appli- mi 7. . 



ances which seem " indis- 

 pensable " are often times 

 sufficient in number to seri- 

 ously impede progress. But 

 it is even worse in the case 

 of the geologist, especially if 

 acting in the capacity of 

 state geologist. In that event 

 the people, feeling as they do . 

 a kindly though trying sort of \ 

 proprietorship in the man 

 whose work is maintained at 

 public expense, ply him with 

 every manner of question to 

 be conjured out of the sci- 

 entific domain. So the 

 dispenser of general infor- 

 mation must have his weights 

 and measures with him as a 

 matter of self-protection. In 

 all justice, however, it must 

 be stated that these people 

 are reasonable, readily satis- 

 fied, and appreciative to the 

 last degree, especially if 

 answered at the time. They 



dislike a decision which is „ , , t, , »«^- j t^ , »r •/.
