 complished editor, and may now be regarded 

 as firmly established. Weekly, $5.00. 



The first number of the American Meteoro- 

 logical Journal, published by Mr. Burr, of 

 Detroit, and edited by Professor M. H. Har- 

 rington, at Michigan University, Ann Arbor, 

 Mich., has been received. It is neat in ap- 

 pearance and comprehensive in plan. Doubt- 

 less it will succeed, being the only strictly 

 meteorological journal in the country. 



The Art Interchange of June 19 contained 

 designs for fish dish and a half dozen fish 

 plates. These designs show marine plants, 

 fishes and shells arranged in a charmingly 

 decorative way. A design in color for sofa 

 pillow decoration, by the Boston Society of 

 Decorative Art, is also given. A unique de- 

 sign of oak leaves and acorns, for larger 

 dishes of dinner service, and an exquisite 

 woodland scene, "The Euined Abbey," by 

 LaLanne, are also to be found in this issue. 

 In Decorative Notes is given some interest- 

 ing information as to novelties in pottery, 

 porcelain, glassware, vases, lamps, screens, 

 yacht pillows, photograph frames, sachets, 

 birch bark calendars. In Notes and Queries 

 department questions are answered relative 

 to pastel painting, Kensington painting, sic- 

 catif de Harlem and siccatif de Courtray, 

 decorative arrangement of peacock feathers, 



embroidery, the celebrated Duran palette, 

 sketching on linen and brass work. Pub- 

 lished by William Whitlock, 140 Nassau 

 Street, New York. $3.00. 



Harper's Magazine frequently hits a topic 

 of the, day, in its illustrated articles, with 

 notable timeliness. The leading paper of 

 the July number will be on " The Nile," a 

 subject in which there is just now a good 

 deal of interest all over the world, with illus- 

 trations by Sir Frederick Leighton, P. E. A., 

 and from other sources. The timeliness is 

 all the more remarkable when it is remem- 

 bered that it is largely a matter of editorial 

 prognostication, since the illustrated sheets 

 of the Magazine are often made up by the 

 editor nearly six months in advance of the 

 date of the Magazine. 



The Dial, a monthly journal of current 

 literature, published by Jansen, McClurg & 

 Co., Chicago, $1.50 per year, began its fifth 

 year in May with new and specially selected 

 type throughout, and the promise of even 

 greater beauty of execution than that in 

 which it already is known to excel most journ- 

 als of its class. It will continue its distinc- 

 tive and approved features of exhaustive re- 

 view articles by special writers, critical no- 

 tices of important books, notes on interest- 

 ing literary events, and other features com- 

 pleting its scope as a trustworthy and ele- 

 gant journal of current literature. 



We have received the January-April 

 volume of the Proceedings of the Philadel- 

 phia Academy of Sciences, edited by Ed- 

 ward J. Nolan, M. D. It comprises 130 pp. 

 with articles, more or less condensed, by such 

 able and distinguished members and contri- 

 butors as Prof. Joseph Leidy, M. D., Profs. 

 Lewis H. Carvill, Asa Gray, Thomas Mee- 

 han, F. W. Putnam, David S. Jordan, An- 

 gelo Heilprin, Eev. H. C. McCook and oth- 

 ers. This is one of the oldest scientific asso- 

 ciations in this country, and has published 

 some thirty-five volumes of its proceedings, 

 besides many other works of high scientific 

 merit. Application for these works may be 

 made to the editor.
