The Scientific Americans Great Special Edition.

The Special Edition of the Scientific American under date of Dec 13, devoted to Transportation on Land and Sea, cannot fail to attract widespread interest, both because of the very handsome manner in which it is gotten up and on account of the voluminous amount of information that it contains, It is safe to say that anyone that reads it carefully through will find himself thoroughly posted both as to the magnitude and high quality of our railroads and shipping. The Scientific American has its own characteristic way of presenting what some people might call dry statistical matter in an interesting form, and the present number is no exception to the rule. Both artist and Editor have collaborated to certainly very gocd effect, and the number will meet everywhere with a hearty reception.
