POPULAR SCIENCE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE 



BY CHARLES R. GIBSON, F.R.S.E. 



"Among writers for boys on science, easily the most skilful Is Mr. Charles Gibson. 

 lie writes so clearly, simply and charmingly about the most difficult things that his books are 

 quite as entertaining as any ordinary book of adventure. Mr. Gibson has a first-rate scientific 

 mind and considerable scientific attainments. He is never guilty of an inexact phrase

 vogue among our young folk comparable with that of Jules Verne." The Nation.
