(New York, The International News Company). The catch- words 

 are given in three languages, — English, French, and German,-,— 

 so that readers of every nationality can at once turn to the branch 

 he seeks in the literature of the latest investigations. An exhaus- 

 tive enumeration of the technical journals in the three languages 

 is also given. 



— We learn from the Journal of Economics that a new serial 

 publication devoted to economic discussion is about to appear in 

 England as the organ of the newly founded British Economic As- 

 sociation. The association was organized in November last, with 

 Mr. Goschen as president, and other men of eminence in the eco- 

 nomic world in the other ofiSces. The aim of the association is 

 to promote economic study and discussion by all the means usu- 

 ally employed by such societies, but more particularly through 

 the medium of the new journal, the first number of which will 

 appear in March. It will not be the mouthpiece of any one school, 

 but will welcome contributions from any writer who is master of 

 his subject. In view of the prominence of English writers in the 

 development of economic science, it is a little strange that such a 

 movement has not been made ,by them before; but, now that it 

 has been started, it can hardly fail to be important. There is also 

 to be another periodical issued in England, called the Economic 

 Review, which will deal with economic subjects in their moral 

 and social aspects, and which will number among its contributors 

 both English and American writers. The appearance of the new 

 journals will be awaited with interest. 



— In October last appeared the first number of the Interna- 

 tional Journal of Ethics, published in Philadeliahia and Lon- 

 don, and edited by a committee consisting of Americans, 



Englishmen, and Germans. It is the successor of the Ethicai 

 Record, which was an organ of the ethical societies; but the new 

 magazine is of a broader character, and devoted to the discussion 

 of all ethical subjects, both theoretical and practical, without be- 

 ing an organ of an}- movement or opinion whatever. The first 

 number was of a high order, the papers by Messrs. Sidgwick, 

 Adier, and Hoffding being especially suggestive, and the whole 

 magazine giving excellent promise for the future. The January 

 issue, however, is not so good, and contains some of those super- 

 ficial and half-digested essays which are nowadays all too com- 

 mon. It opens with a well-considered article by Professor D. G. 

 Ritchie, on " The Rights of Minorities," in which the writer 

 maintains that the essential right of minorities is that of freely 

 inculcating their views so as to persuade other people to adopt 

 them, thus converting the minority into a majority. Next follow 

 a review of Professor James's " Psychology," by Josiah Royce; 

 an article on " The Inner Life in Relation to Morality," by J. H. 

 Muirhead; and others on " Moral Theory and Practice," by John 

 Dewey, and on "Morals in History," by Fr. Jodl; but none of 

 these can be said to carry much weight. " The Ethics of Doubt," 

 by W. L. Sheldon, is a thoughtful paper on Cardinal Newman, 

 and some of the lessons of his life and career. Mr. F. H, Gid- 

 dings has a brief article on " The Ethics of Socialism," and there 

 is an intei-esting account by Mrs. M. MoCallum of the ethical so- 

 ' cieties of Great Britain. On the whole, there is promise of much 

 good in the new journal ; but its conductors must maintain a high 

 standard, and require thorough workmanship on the part of their 

 contributors, if it is to hold the place that it ought to hold in the 

 periodical literature of the time. The journal is published at 1602 

 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, at two dollars a year.

Disinfection, to be effective, must be 

 continuous. But one device, namely, 

 the 



SHERMAN "KING" VAPORIZER 



meets this requirement. This appa- 

 ratus consists of an iron vessel with a 

 tightly fitting lid, held down with a 

 screw, and inclosing a porous cup, 

 which is saturated with a volatile dis- 

 infecting fluid. A small screw valve is 

 arranged on the side of the case. Open- 

 ing both lid and valve, a current of an- 

 tiseptic vapor issues, carrying with it 

 the volatile disinfectants. 



Simple, Self-Acting, Inexpensive, and 

 Infallible in operation; it absolutely 

 purifies the schoolroom, hotel, dwelling, 

 sleeping car, and all places within 

 doors, however polluted. It is a power- 

 ful antiseptic, sterilizes disease germs, 

 preventing infection, and removes all 

 dangerous gases. 



Three sizes, S3.60, $6.00 and 88.00. Each 

 Vaporizer sold is filled ready for use. No care 

 except to replenish once in two months at a cost 

 of 4 to 8 cents, according to size.
