Editors and Publishers will confer a 
favor by sending their papers and magazines 
addressed plainly to: Editor Scientist, 
Kansas City, Missouri. 
With a view to the introduction of the 
Cosmopolitan to the readers of this journal, 
we offer it to aew subscribers in count ction 
with The Scientist at its regular subscrip- 
tion price. See page 15. 
Any scientific society publishing its pro- 
ceedings can secure this magazine by ex- 
change, even though their publications be of 
less value, and we trust the same courtesy 
will be extended to us by societies having 
more extensive and valuable publications. 
John D. Parker Chaplain, of Fort 
Robinson, renews his subscription to THE 
Naturalist and also writes a very friendly 
letter from which we quote. — "Kansas 
City, the heart of the new west cannot afford 
to let much smaller cities outstrip her in the 
onward progress of science. In your 
marvelous growth the time has fully come 
for Kansas City to reach out her powerful 
hand and place her Academy of Science on 
its feet, for commercial prosperity to be 
substantial must rest on intellectual and 
moral foundations." 
The Naturalist's change of form and 
name, will, we trust, be an agreeable surprise 
to many of our readers. It resulted from a 
desire to make it more convenient for binding 
and also at the request of several of our sub- 
scribers. We believe the convenience of the 
new form will more than compensate for the 
additional expense.
