NEW PUBLICATIONS.
Messrs H. and J. Baillie send us a specimen copy of Sir George Newnes and Co.'s new venture The Wide World Magazine. It is certainly a most novel and attractive publication. The key note of the magazine is "Truth is Stranger than Fiction," and so instead of the novels and articles which we find in ordinary magazines, The Wide World gives accounts of marvellous doings by flood and field in the uttermost parts of the earth; accounts of the Indian fakirs; of experiences on the road to Klondyke; of queer sights in China: sketches of life in Borneo ; in the far Arctic regions ; in central Africa ; and wherever Britons do roam. The pictures are very numerous and capitally done. Apart from the attractions offered to adult readers, The Wide World ought to be a great favourite with the young folk, who will be able to learn geography and natural history from its pages in a very easy and agreeable fashion. The Wide World is a wonderful sixpenny worth.
