Barely has a more popular feature been inaugurated in magazine 

 literature than the industrial articles in Scribner's Magazine. The July 

 number contains an account of the latest devices in telegraphy, with 

 ample illustrations. 



The literary gossip one finds in Book Chat is sure to be entertaining, 

 while the one or two column selections from recent works, of which sev- 

 eral pages are usually given, are taken with judgment and make good 

 reading. A feature that should be popular is the monthly subject index 

 of nearly three hundred leading periodicals, which is well made and kept 

 thoroughly up to date. 



Jas. W. Queen & Co. desire to call the attention of college professors 

 and others interested in scientific work who may visit Paris this year, to 

 the facilities they are able to extend to any who may w h to make pur- 

 chases of apparatus. The bearers of letters of introduction from the firm 

 in Phil ielphia will receive all desired help from their agents in Paris, 

 in both selection and bargaining for goods ; and if so preferred the pur- 

 chaser will be relieved of all care regarding packing, shipping and pass- 

 ing through the custom house, the same as if the order had been placed 

 originally with the firm. This courtesy will doubtle prove especially 

 acceptable to microscopists and physicists. Addrc - the firm at 924 

 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, for further information. 



The Critic is one of the most readable and enjoyable of literary 

 journals. Even its book reviews, which of course are a prominent fea- 

 ture, often have a value and interest as essays quite apart from interest 

 in the work which suggested the theme. The part usually turned to first 

 is the weekly paragraphs from the facile pen of " Th> Lounger," which 

 serve up the cream of the on dit with a mild substr; am of humor. The 

 Critic is to be credited with first suggesting the desirability of turning 

 the handsome Fifth Avenue arch designed for the centenma elebratjon 

 in New York into marble, which bids 1 " fair to become one of the lasting 

 ornaments of the city. In many other ways the journal has lown its 

 enterprise and public spirit, as well m M wide influence.
