Prof. Dippold, whose lecture on the Nibelung sagas was favorably received, has translated the tragedy faithful to the original.

These are rendering publishers a good little pamphlets entitled "Guides for Scienceto teachers by the publication of a series of Teaching." These contain simple illustrations and instructions about modes of presenting and studying subjects, with suggestions in regard to preserving, preparing, collecting, and purchasing specimens.
