SCIENCE.— AD VERTISEMENTS. 



The NEW YORK HERALD in its issue of January 3, 1897, 

 devoted nearly a whole page to a notice of the undermen- 

 tioned work which it described as being "A REMARKABLE 

 SCIENTIFIC MEMORIAL." It also stated that "Nothing 

 more revolutionary than Dr. Emmens' ynemorial has been 

 advanced in the name of science since the day when Sir 

 Isaac Newton presented to the Boyal Society his doctrine 

 of universal gravitation.^*
