64 THE YOUNG 
EXCHANGES. 
Yearly subscribers to the Young Scientist have 
the privilege of inserting three exchanges (or one 
exchange three times) during the year. This 
privilege is strictly confined to exchanges; buying 
and selling must be carried on in the advertising 
columns, where the charge is 30 cents per line. 
Each exchange is limited to thirty words, making 
about four lines, and in order to receive attention 
must be written on a slip of paper by itself. We 
file all letters received, and have no time for copy- 
ing out exchanges and aueries. 
As we desire to make the journal of the utmost 
value to all, and not merely to serve the interests 
of individuals, we shall strictly adhere to these 
rules, which are certainly liberal, giving as they 
do advertising to the value of $3,60 free to each 
subscriber.
