                _CONDUCTED BY E. L. AND W. J. YOUMANS._


THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY was established a dozen years ago to
bring before the general public the results of scientific thought on
many large and important questions which could find no expression in
the current periodicals. Scientific inquiry was penetrating many new
fields, extending important knowledge, and profoundly affecting opinion
upon numberless questions of speculative and practical interest. It
was the policy of this magazine at the outset, and has been constantly
adhered to since, to obtain the ablest statements from the most
distinguished scientific men of all countries in their bearing upon the
higher problems of investigation. Leaving the dry and technical details
of science, which are of chief concern to specialists, to the journals
devoted to them, THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY has dealt with those more
general and practical subjects which are of the greatest interest and
importance to the people at large.
