EDITORIAL. 



Romance. — On the first of January, 1896, the magazine 

 "Romance," which has heretofore been devoted to fiction entirely, 

 underwent a complete change and was issued as a five- 

 cent magazine, filled with illustrations of a popular kind. The 

 magazine will be a considerable novelty; the idea being to em- 

 phasize the illustrated side of it rather than the text. There will 

 be 48 page? containing not less than 60 illustrations, printed 

 from the best of plates on the best of paper. There will be pic- 

 tures of noted j)ainters, of people of the day, of literary individ- 

 uals at home. Scientific matters will be treated of, and ama- 

 teur photography will be given a generous space. 



The Tolles Microscopic Objective, — Ephraim Cutter, M. 

 D., LL. D., of New York, assisted by Charles X. Dalton, of 

 Boston, exhibited the famous Tolles one-seventy-fifth micros- 

 copic objective to the members of the regular monthly meeting 

 of the New England Association of Opticians at Young's Hotel 

 last month. The exhibition was very interesting. 



An experiment was performed by drawing a small drop of 

 blood from Dr. Harriman, and allowing the spectators to see it. 

 The meeting was presided over by President Charles A. French. 

 The committee having charge of the exhibition consisted of Ed- 

 win P. Wells, chairman ; Leslie Millar and W. H. Doleman.
