In Every Department of the Industrial Arts.

Every mechanic, farmer, housekeeper, student of practical science and amateur has occasion at one time or another to hunt up a RECEIPT for making some preparation or performing some operation which is necessary in the ordinary course of work. Hence a book of receipts is almost a necessity in every Workshop, Laboratory and Household.

The object of Industrial Receipts is not only to furnish a Complete Collection of Tried Formulas, Rules and Directions, but to give such current notes, hints and information as will enable the reader to take advantage of the latest improvements and discoveries in this direction. To accomplish this we propose to adopt the following original and, as we think, very feasible plan:

1 - We will give, in consecutive numbers, and in alphabetical order, a complete body of Receipts and Technical Information. This will be so paged that when complete it may be bound into a convenient volume for reference, thus forming a complete " Cyclopaadia of Practical Receipts."

2-Notes upon new materials and formulae, with special discussions of processes, methods of working, etc.

3- Special information for subscribers given under the head of answers to correspondents. In this department we have secured the assistance of several able and thoroughly practical scientists.

4 - Notices of Current Events, New Books and other matters relating to our specialty, with Abstracts of Important Papers.

The price of the Journal will be $1.00 per year. Single numbers, 10 cents. Specimen numbers will be sent on receipt of 5 cents (postage stamps will do).

Club Rates-As it is our object to attain a large circulation we offer special inducements to those who wish to aid us in this direction. To those who send us three subscribers at $1.00 each we will send a fourth copy free. An hour's work will therefore enable almost any one to obtain a copy of this exceedingly valuable work.

Important Announcement To Architects, Contractors And Builders

For many year-; past there has been a want by the building fraternity of a good and reliable book on Estimating, one that will give prices of materials and labor for every department of building, so far as this is possible. Such a book, the pub-Ushers believe, has at last been produced, and is now offered to those interested.
