MARVELS OF THE UNIVERSE. 



A Note Concerning Part V. 



The first four parts of "Marvels of tKe Universe" have now been published and subscribers must be thinking what a 

 beautiful work they will have when the Parts are bound into two handsome volumes of about 12 Parts each. " Marvels of the 

 Universe" unquestionably will be the cheapest book, not in Great Britain only, but in the World; moreover the fascination of its 

 subjects is without parallel. 



Part V. opens with a Beautiful Coloured Plate by Mr. James Green, of 



MINUTE MARVELS IN THE POND 



picturing these delicate creatures in their natural colours. The article on this fascinating subject is well illustrated with a 

 unique set of photographs shewing the beautiful forms which are revealed by the miscroscope. 



The first few pages of the letterpress are occupied with the continuation of Sir Herbert Maxwell's interesting article on 



"SEED DISPERSAL BY PARACHUTES AND LIFEBUOYS" 



The other subjects and their accompanying illustrations are all equal in interest to those in the former Parts. There 

 is an article, 



THE DOR-BEETLE'S MITE 



by Mr. G. G. Ward, shewing under the microscope one of the hundred or more minute creatures which are to be rouna on 

 an ordinary beetle. 



SATURN. THE RINGED PLANET 



which was such a puzzle to Galileo and the early astronomers, is fvilly explained by Mr. T, E. R. Phillips, F.R.A.S., a 

 well-known authority on this subject. There are many fine i'luslrations. 



Mr. Edward Step tells the story of 



THE WINE PLANT OR AMERICAN ALOE 



from which the Mexicans draw a natural wine, transferring it into great skin bottles. 

 There is a fine set of photographs shewing the wonderful forms of 



SNOW-CRYSTALS 



taken by Mr. W. A. Benlley at very low temperatures during a great number of years, a descriptive article is written by 

 Mr. Wilfred Mark Webb, Hon. Sec. of the Selborne Society.
