The Scientific American
By Editor
A Great Paper.—The Scientific American has filled out sixty-six years, and still is as fresh and young and strong as it ever was during these more than threescore years of life. During the past of its existence it has been enlarged from time to time, adding to the scope of its simplified science, making it not only understandable but fascinating to the layman, and stating its great facts and principles in good, clear, plain English. To many it has become a necessity, and we do not know of any one of intelligence who does not delight to look over its pages, and who is not sure to find something of interest. The number of men it has instructed are legion. It has been a great schoolmaster in mechanics, practical achievement, and knowledge of mechanical science. It takes on larger scope in the beginning of the new year; recasts its make-up in typography, which will make it even more popular than in the past; adds to its pages, and issues a monthly appendix, and all for the same price; but it will still hold to its standard of accuracy and authority. Its subscription price is $3.00 a year; its address, 361 Broadway, New York.
