M a AMer st LISTS CLOSING TONIGHT IN NEW YORK Orders From the Northwest Must Be Postmarked Not Later Than Today r ' (Order by Telegraph Will B Promptly Aclijiowleclgecl) ( The first distribution of the New (11th) Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica by the Press of the University of Cambridge,- England, is likely to exceed in number all records in publishing. It is confidently expected that 35,000 applications for the New Edition will be received before the withdrawal of the "advance of publication" prices. The subscription lists will be closed tonight so far as New York subscribers are concerned, but in order that all sections of the country-may be placed on an equal basis, applications may be mailed from any part of the United States if postmarked today, and will be added to the current lists on their arrival at the New York office.

The volumes or the Ninth Edition were, for most nersoiis. too cumb.-oufl in size and too heavy to hold in the hand. But by the use of India paper (thin, Kut: wrv Ktroncr and onaoue). the thickness has been reduced from 2S, Inches to 1 Inch, and the com plete set occupies only '29 inches of shelf srtace. f The work is also published, for those who prefer it, on ordinary book-paper of the same quality as that used for the last edition). In mntinfr the read- a . 1 ! it era convenience dv reancing- tne size and weipht of the volumes, the publishers believe they have multi plied the usefulness of the Ency clopaedia Britannica (Eleventh Edition) to an incalculable degree. TIIK new (11th) Edjtion of the Encyclopaedia Britan nica may be said to mark a new era of human experience. It is the only book in existence in which a scholarly and systematic attempt baa been made on the lines or the broadest comprehensiveness: (1) To survey the whole field of knowledge at the hands of special ist authorities and practical experts. (2) To divide it Tip into proup and classifications with a view to effecting a perfect co-ordination of the subdivisions of all general subjects, and then (3) To resolve the whole body of ascertained knowledge into its constituent parts as the pieces of gigantic mosaic giving each of these an organic unity of relation to the rest, dealing with it sepa rately on its merits, and whenever more convenient for the reader, under its own heading and in its Iphabetical place. There are more than 40.000 articles in the work, as cainst less than 17.000 in the Ninth Edition, and for the first time the vast extent of the world's activities and interests, the most recent results of research and ex periment, are here conveniently catalogued and intelligently sum marized. It will now be easy to find one's way about in. this store house of universal knowledge. All subjects appear under the most natural headings the things one is likely to look up are not hidden away in the body or general arti cles, but are immediately accessible. The .principle of comprehensive treatment has been preserved throughout, but minor subjects and facts of subsidiary impor tance have received more careful attention than ever before.

O I aJ uVl Uvu4 TV 1 L-at U V a u nowledge by so well-defined and orderly a system.1 Yet the neces sity for this was never so apparent as it is today. The stress or life and the multiplied activities in which the modern world is en gaged; and. above all, the growth of specialization m all civilized countries demand a change in the method of presenting the sum of human knowledge a change in the direction of comprehensive ness combined 'with convenience of arrangement, with greater fa cility of reference. The needs of the day call for the publication of a new work in which the whole field of human life and effort shall be presented in such a form as shall make the pursuit of learning rapid." agreeable, and instructive. To accomplish this was the large task of the editors of the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. 1 i 5 B 1 E E : ' ij 5 S l 5 ; i ; 3 ?

The largest manufacturing in the history of publishing is now proceeding, but owing to the magnitude of the technical production of so large a work, no more copies will be printed and bound at present than those required to fill orders for which application shall be made by May 31st. The 68 printing machines requisitioned for the American edition will be kept con tinuously in operation until such time as all of the copies required for the "advance" sale are off. From tomorrow a new schedule of higher, prices at an advance of 50 cents per volume will go into effect, and a second distribution of the work will follow, later in the year at the increased prices. . Use of Gas From a Hygienic Standpoint Lectors by Prof. Vivian B. Lewes, r.l0,P.aR, at the Meeting nr tna KMtisn lnstitnticm oi uas Engineers. i e Coatlnued from Monday.)' "When the room with its occupants waa lighted by electrio light there was no rapid sprush In this way of the pro doc ta to the celling, and tl-o organic Impurities and carbon dioxide leaving; at body temperature remained diffused throughout the whole of the atmosphere of the room, causing a far more rapid fouling of the air and Injury to health. If such a room were entirely left for Its ventilation to diffusion through the walls. It would soon acquire that sour Smell which Is noticeable in many rooms ef the poor. In which. In order to keep In the warmth derived from their own bodies, all ventilation ta cuS off. The smeU Is due to the decom position of organic matter filtered off during- diffusion by the wall surface and undergoing putrefactive decay, giving the offensive odor, tha only way to get rid of which is to strip the paper from the walls and lime wash them as well as the celling. Then, and then only, does the smell pass away. When, however, this same diffusion through the ceiUng and upper part of the walls of the room takes place In a gas lighted room, this unpleasant hu man smell so characteristic! to the "tube" railways. Is never detected. Here, again, the hyglenlo superiority of gas la maaifest, as In a gas lighted room or hall not only are the germs present In the air, and often of an in fectious character, destroyed and burnt up by the flame Itself an action which. Is entirely wanting when the illumin ation Is due to Incandescent electrio light. An interesting- point also brought out by the experiments I have made is that It is really the position of the gas light above the level of the head of the chan delier which causes this hygienic ad vantage, and that If the gas is burnins In table lamps the cooling of the pro ducts in their passage up to the celling largely does away with the ceiling ac tion, and the air of the room may be come as foul as when it is unlit, or lighted by electrio light GAS AS A FUEL. Durino; the past few years gas has been making wonder ful headway as a fuel, and the gas fire and the gas engine in many a crowded town help to decrease the smoke cur ..'..-. ".v.. vu. f . f, ivv ia inuui, in deed, the convenience and cleanliness of the gas stove Is such an Important factor in domestio life that the use of gas for fuel purposes now Is aa valu able in the prosperity of gas under takings as is Its use for Illuminating purposes. The only point that militates f-against it in the publio mind Is the as sumption that It is much more expen sive than solid fuel. But If we take Into consideration all the oondltiona existing in our ordinary stoves and those to bs found In the newer forms of gas stove, experiment will soon show coat this Is not the case, and that tha ratio of cost between the two largely dependa upon the efficiency of tha stoves used and the way in which the heat is Imparted, to the air of the room. THE HYGIENICS OF TUB GAS STOVE. There Is not the slightest doubt, from a hygienio point of view. that beating by radiation Is Infinitely preferable to effecting the heating by ararmlng the air, and this is one of the factors that make the English open fire so superior in comfort to the closed stoves and other air heating , devices so popular on the Continent. A good gas stove, like the open fire, should not de pend too much for its heating effect upon discharging warm air into a room, but should distribute a considerable proportion of Its heat by radiation, and so raise the temperature of the floor? and furniture in the lower parts of the room. Radiant heat does not directly raise the temperature of the air, but Is radiated to the floor, walls and fur niture of the room, which again slowly part with their heat' to the air In con tact with them and to the inhabitants, so that the walls and other solid bodies in the room are at a hither tempera ture than the air. THREE NEW FACTORS OF INCREASED USEFULNESS. JULE the new (Eleventh) Edition of the- Encyclopaedia Britannica is an ex haustive and authoritative exposition of human thought, learning, and achievement, it has acquired, by the new plan of editing it, three features of the widest usefulness to the present generation: (1) It is now a register and a detailed summary of the world's life and progress; (2) A complete inventory of extant knowledge reduced to an A B C simplicity of arrangement; (3) An index to all recondite not less than to all common things which can pos sibly interest br concern a civiuzed people. The Advance in Price (50 rente per vol. or $14.50 per set) will be effective both in Eng land and America immediately upon the closing of the lists for the first distribution on May 31. $4.00 a Volume is the before-publication price for the Cloth bound copies on ordi nary paper (each volume being a large quarto, or from 960 to 1060 pages, and containing an average of 1,500,000 words), and $4.25 is the price for India -paper, bound in Cloth (each volume but 1 inch thick), and containing exactly the came contents. To Be Increased to $7.50 It is intended that after May 31st the price shall be increased, and the work will continue to be sold on an ascending scale of prices, of which the ultimate price will be $i.50. the same as tha of the 9th Edition. Deferred Cash Payment This method has been devised for those who do not care to pay the full cash price in one payment. At a slight increase they may pay at practically the cash price, yet spread their payments over 4, 8, or 12 months. NOTE Those who - possess copies of previous editions of the ENCYCLOPAEDIA x BRITAN NICA (now out of date) are re quested to advise ns of the fact, clearly indicating which edition they possess (giving name of pub lisher and number of volumes), and if they wish to purchase the new edition, will be informed how they can dispose of their old edi tions at a fair valuation.
