Special articles will be furnished on The Physique of the American Student, describing gymnastics, outdoor sports, the effect of training, etc.
A tour of investigation of this kind cannot fail to bring to light a great deal of material that cannot be anticipated.
The articles secured in this way will supplement the material announced in other parts of this prospectus.
TIMELINESS.
In the various fields which this magazine will cultivate, a constant effort will be made to secure articles of timely interest. The newest book, the latest important political event, the most recent discovery or invention—in fact, what is newest and most important in every department of human activity, will be set forth by specially well-qualified writers, in the form of essays, biographical articles, interviews or contributions by the men most closely identified with the subjects in hand.
THE PRESENT HOUR
will be the subject of a series of articles, published month by month, dealing with men and measures that are making current history. The first one is by M. de Blowitz, and appears in this issue.
STRANGER THAN FICTION
is the title of a department which will contain a number of short articles; true tales of adventure; striking bits of biography; interesting and curious facts in science; stories of travelers and explorers; picturesque short articles gathered from every field of human activity and investigation.
