Popular Astronomy is the name of a comparatively new journal in the line indicated by its name. It bids fair to become very popular. It will aim to be a real help to the student and young astronomer. Its editors are Prof. W. W. Payne and Charlotte Willard, of Goodsell Observatory, of Carleton College, Northfield, Minn., at which place the journal is published. The April number of the above journal contains interesting articles by Prof. E. E. Barnard, S. W. Burnham, W. F. Denning, J. A. Parkhurst, Winslow Upton, Lewis Swift, and others. Some of these writers we know appreciate what a real student needs, and are qualified by knowledge and experience to help them.
