The list published in the December issue of the JOURNAL is the one from which the assignee was able at last accounts to supply books. With the new year we drop the coupon offer for this reason only, and with regret, because it was supplying a felt want of our readers. We shall try to straighten out all orders as soon as possible, either by securing books or by returning the money. If any readers who have sent in coupons and have not yet received books, find some other books in the list given in the December number of the JOURNAL which they would be willing to take in place of the books ordered, a postal card note to that effect, naming the books desired now, will be notice to us.

CHARLES CO., 211 & 213 Wabash Ave., Chicago. CAVEATS, For information and free Handbook write to Scientific American Largest circulation of any scientific paper in the The Scribner's Magazine A RED-LETTER YEAR FOR 1897 THE ENTIRE NOVELTY of many of the plans for 1897 is noticeable. For instance, the series devoted to "London as Seen by Charles Dana Gibson." Mr. Gibson visited London last summer for SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE, for the purpose of depicting with pen and pencil those scenes and types which the huge metropolis presents in endless variety. Of like novelty is the first considerable Novel by Richard Harding Davis, "Soldiers of Fortune."' The hero is one of the most vigorous men that Mr. Davis has drawn. Illustrated by C. D. Gibson. "The Conduct of Great Businesses." "The Great Department Store;" Management of a Great Hotel;" "The Working of the Bank," and "A Great Manufactory." "Undergraduate Life in American Colleges." Judge Henry E. Howland writes on "Undergraduate Life at Yale." Mr. James Alexander on "Princeton," and Robert Grant and Edward S. Martin on "Harvard." "Japan and China Since the War" will be a most interesting group of articles richly illustrated. "The Unquiet Sex." Mrs. Helen Watterson Moody will write a series of articles: "Women and Reforms,' "The College-Bred Woman,' "Woman's Clubs," and "The Case of Maria" (a paper on domestic service.) W. D. Howells's "Story of a Play." George W. Cable will give a series of four short stories, the only ones he has written for many years. How to Travel Wisely. Mr. Lewis Morris Iddings, in two articles, will offer a variety of useful suggestions and data on "Ocean and Land Travel." This will be happily rounded out by an article from Mr. Richard Harding Davis on "Travellers One Meets: Their Ways and Methods." The illustrations by American and foreign artists will be highly pertinent. **It is impossible in a small space to even mention the many attractive features for 1897.
