Abstract
THIS collection of short popular essays on scientific subjects is likely to appeal to a wide circle of readers. The questions selected for treatment are those pertaining to recent discoveries which have been given prominence in the Press. To name a few of the titles is enough to show the character of the book, especially when it is added that a subject is rarely given more than four pages by way of explanation:—Radium and radio-activity, wireless telegraphy, captive balloons, electric cookery, and so on. The book may prove of service in this country to young people fond of science who are learning French.
