Mr. Edward Clodd is the author of several handbooks of science 'The Story of Creation, 'A Manual of Evolution, and others. Clodd wrote about the Census: 'Thousands of persons were asked whether they had ever seen apparitions, and out of these some hundreds, mostly unintelligent foreigners, replied in the affirmative.
The catalogues of scientific-instrument makers of our larger cities generally furnish a list of the requisite materials or handbooks which describe the use of the various microscopes of standard make. The author is indebted to Bergen's Elements of Botany for the following information concerning the different firms which deal in microscopes.
"Gospel" and "evangelical" are no longer words of sheer happiness like Jesus' "good news" they are technical terms, used in handbooks and in controversy; while for Jesus the "good news for the poor" was a new word of delight and inspiration.
