"A society has been founded to ssre-
move from England the disgrace of
having till now left buried in manuscript
the most important works of her great

Lesseps replied: 81 invite you all to the
opening ofthe canal. 1t will take place

The streets of Paris are in great
part sprinkled by hose attached to n.y.
drants, which are found to cost a half
less than watering carts, of which, how
ever $50 are employed. The scaven-

Europe, with possibly the exception of
st. Petersburg.
"A remarkable dinner was recently
given In Paris, the guest being q man of
90, and the ffty-nine hosts having an
average of 40. The guest was the we'll
known savant. NJ. Chevreul, who was
entertained by his colleagues of the
Societe Rationale d'Agriculture in COM
memoration of the fiftieth anniversary
of his election. NJ. Dumas, the great
chemist, who took the chair, is himself
81, and the two youngest men in the
room were the Due d'Aumale and Mr..
Pitman, who represented the Royal
Agricultural Society of England. All
the most illustrious men of science in
France were present, and the dinner
was perfect one, the brandy served
with the coffee dating from the year in
which NJ Chevreul was born O786),
while Chateau Margaux. of 1911 was
handed around as liqueur at dessert.
These good things were not, however,
appreciated by the guest, who has new
or tasted wine or spirits in his life.
