POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY. 



lief in this absurd crusade brought to 

 an English city. 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 every sort, recording 

 the articles as they appear month by 

 month in a form that makes the knowl- 



edge of them easily accessible to one who 

 seeks it. The numbers succeeding the 

 first number of the volume include, be- 

 sides their own fresh matter, that which 

 has appeared 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 

 Holman-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.
