THE O0J.O(i;ST 



Prize Contests- 



The "best article'' and "Judges" con- 

 tests wtiich have proven so popular 

 during the past two 3'ears will Ibe con- 

 tinued through 1894. The scheme will, 

 however, be changed and the winners 

 can have CASil, supplies or specimens 

 as thej may prefer in place of a 'set' list 

 of prizes as heretofore. 



Full particulars next month. Send 

 in your mss. (not to lengthy) and votes 

 early and monthly. The effort will 

 amply repay you and if you stick to it 

 you will surely secure valuable prizes 

 which you may consider a more accep- 

 table form of remuneration.
