By this means the mattress is stifiened

by which the rock used in sinking is held
in position and kept from sliding off into
the water. The whole process is a very
interesting one. The Daphne anchored
at the upper mattress-boat, which has been
dismantled and is used simply for the pur-
pose OF holding the mattress in position.
This is lone by means of stout ropes, one

in another respect from those formerly
sunk. 1t was not straight like the others,
but-curved, as stated, 50 as to fit around a

rately. At either end OF the mattress a

Section F.-BiOLODH.


The first paper presented was on the
'Psyllidae of the United States" by Prof.
G. V. Riley, of Washington, showing the
result of studies for fifteen years. The
insects, the speaker said, have remark
able jumping powers. The family has re-
celved little attention in the United States,
and scarcely anything has been known of
the life, history, and developments of the
species. The paper described seventeen
species. They fall into four sub-famlies
and represent four genera already
described, and three new genera
The paper recorded many
discoveries as to the entromography of
the species, and especially those affecting
Plus and celtis, the later forming group
peculiar to North America, and the most
perfect gall makers in the family. The
most interesting portion of the paper was
that describing the life, histories and hab-
Its of the insects. The eggs are attached
to leaves by pedicil, and are somewhat
pointed at one end. They are generally
pale, and more or less covered with TO-
cerdent secretion.
The second paper was ''Notes on the po-
tato beetle and the Hessian fly of 1885,"
by Prof. Z. W. Claypole of New Bloom
field, Pa. 1t is thought the Hessian fly in
lured the later wheat much more than the
early crop. The professors observations
had been made on winter wheat which the
insects especially attack. The speaker said
there were two broods of the insects, spring

and autumn. In the discussion it was the
opinion of several that the dying of the
stalks did not kill the larvae. No second
brood OF potato beetles appeared in 1882,
as usual. This year, too, they had been al
most entirely absent. For the cause of
this the speaker was in doubt. Prof. Riley
thought the reason must be either in their
destruction by poisonous parasites or by
reason of extra dry weather. Prof. Clay
pole thought that the cause could not be
dry weather, as during previous summer
which was excessively dry the beetle flour
lshe dand was very plentiful.

Prof. A. Hyatt, was ready by title in the

lie said that every new fact in the life his
tory of the insect has an exceptional in
terest because of its bearing on The destruc-
tive grapevine phyloxera. The genus is
more largely represented in this country
by number of gall-making species
on the different hickories. The gals are
produced for the most part in early spring;
the winged females issue therefrom in
early summer and for the remainder of
the year the existence of the insect has
been mystery. The impregnated egg is
laid in all sorts of crevices upon the
twigs and bark and in the old gals, in
which last case they fall to the ground,
and up to this time they have remained
unmatched and will in all probability not
hatch until next spring, thus correspond
ing with the winter egg of the grape
phylloxera.
DR.. W. G. Farlow, of Cambridge, Mass,
followed with a paper on various forms of
Algeo found in the United States. He
noted four distinct poisonous forms of
these plants, three of which were found in
the east. These Algeo all affect the quality
of water and render it unsuitable for
drinking, giving it an unpleasant odor
and taste. They also constitute a
source of danger. The occurrences
at Waterville, being recorded by
Prof. Arthur, are instances of
their effect upon the latter. In Boston
they hare been the cause of much harm to
persons. The speaker predicted for Min
neapolis time when the present water
supply would be rendered wholly unfit for
use by the pollution of sewerage, and when
the possible presence of these poisonous
algeo in the surrounding lakes would
necessitate great care in the choice of a
future source of water.

this: Both the loaner and the
borrower is mutually benefited so far
as possible. Each stakeholder pays 81
per month on a share and has the privi-
lege of borrowing from the association at
any of its monthly meetings, the exact
amount and premium to be paid theron to
be decided by the competition for the
money; for this sum he pays 81 extra each
month until the close or expira-
ton of the limitation of the
stock or until his payments
on the original block with interest at 6 per

In the event borrower desires to settle
up at any monthly meeting with the asso-
citation he is credited with all the payments
he has made on his stock, together with
the interest, and charged with the amount
borrowed.

The botanical club had another interest
ing field meeting yesterday afternoon.
No session of the section devoted to
histology and microscopy was held yes
terday.
The members of the local committee are
especially requested to be in attendance
at the session to-day and also at the lunch
OF o'clock.
After to-day, the public can get down
to normal life. This intensely scientific
experience has been a ponderous strain
upon the mental organism.
In the election of officers yesterday, q
compliment was paid the scientific ability
conscientiouness, and geological learning
of Prof. N: H. WinchelI, of Minneapo
state geologist and professor of the state
university, in electing him to the vice
presidency of section E. for the ensuing
year.

to present as many names as possible as
probable candidates, and you will be
pretty sure to hit the mark. The paper
excited spirited discussion which con
sumed the balance of the morning session.
Prof. Mendenhall was of the opinion that
Mr.. Hinrichs was too severe in his crit
cisms of the civil service and Secretary
Nippon renewed his advocacy of the sys-
tenn OF signal services which he presented
at the Friday meeting of the section.
The essayist renewed his criticisms of
the service, reiterating that during the
month of June the predictions sent out for
Iowa were over one-half erroneous; so per
cent. hit Is no hit at all.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The afternoon session in section B was

NATURAL sNowBALLs.
Prof. Samuel Hart read highly enter
tanning and carefully prepared paper upon
Natural Snowballs or Snow Rolls,'' of
which the following is digest:
In February of this year, a remarkable
example of the phenomenon of natural
snowballs, or snow rolls, was witnessed
throughout central Connecticut. The
storm extended even into southern Mas
sachusetts. After heavy fall of light
snow in the evening, the citizens were
greeted IN the morning, after windy
night, by the appearance of vast num-
bers of these grand balls, spread through
out the country, wherever the wind had a
clear sweep. The balls varied in diameter
from one inch to foot, and a half,
and in shape were of all varieties, fran an
extremely elongated isosceles tri-
angle through the various
forms of cylinders to
perfect spheres. The tracks made by
these balls, in the progress of their for
nation, were often from forty-f to fifty
five feet in length. A similar phenomenon
has been noticed in England. in the county
of Kent, mud taking the place of snow
IN the formation of the balls. In Australia
the wind formed similar balls from some
of the peculiar vegetation of that country.
These snow balls were identical in appear
ance with the balls made by boys for
building their snow forts, the only differ
ence being in the motive power, which in
this case was the wind

Section E-GeOIOUu

The business in this section was opened
by paper by Mr.. Dawson, which led to
a general discussion. This was followed
by paper on the "Eroding Power of Ice,''
by Prof. Newberry. This was followed by
a paper on "The Kane rivers of Maine,' p
by 6. d. Stone; the Pre- Cambrian rocks
of the Alps" by T. Sterry Hunt: the "New

those in New Jersey. Their age belongs to
biologists to ascertain. He considered
the discovery very important and the paper
one of great value. Prof. Peet took issue
with Prof. Putnam as to the value of the
discoveries, and thought that if paleotics
had to depend upon such shallow foun-
dation as was furnished by these
the matter had better be dropped.
"a classification OF the sciences" by
Major j. W. Powell was the next and it
was the last paper proper before the Sec
ton. To commence with the speaker said
classification divided the subject into
three great groups the physical, biology
and authoropologgy, the purpose of which
he followed through these respective chan
nels. Physics he divided into molecular,
stillar and mechanical. Biology is divid-
ed into botany and zonlogy, and Ianthropo-
logy, philology, technology and ph1loso-
ply.
at the CONCLUSION OF the reading of this
paper the section adjourned sine die.

DR.. Alfred Springer, of Cincinnati, spoke
with interest upon the topic. He believed
the amount of oleonargarine can be best
ascertained by the amount of caseine, and
nitrate of soda would not effect the taste,
unless it be, forsooth, to improve it.
Prof. Wiley explained that the analysis
of oleomargarine exhibited the fact that it
was made from cotton and oil and not
from beef fat; as is commonly supposed.
He had found that English butter con-
tanned much larger per cent. of caseine
than American butter. The quantity
of salt in butter is about seventeen per
cent. of the whole. 1t has the effect to
take water out, consequently lightens its
weight and that accounts for the fact of
the small amount used by manufactures.
He also believed that a good quality of
oleomargarine was superior to many
grades of butter commonly used.
Prof. G. Gilbert Wheeler, of Chicago,
eulogised Prof. Wiley's method of deter
mining the per cent of adulteration or
foreign matter.
planned that the most of the butter now
manufactured is colored, and that without
material injury to the flavor or value.
NEW FORMS OF BURETTEs.
Prof. W. H. Seamens next presented a
paper upon the above subject. He said;
Burettes with glass stop cocks are in gen.
eral use but many of the old style are still
made use of. A round belt is an improve
ment en- an oval one, as it admits of pass
ing the stem through the fingers and
pressing with the thumb on top. They
are used for measuring medicine by drops,
for microscopic manipulation, etc.
soTAL.
'Sotal, a Mexican Forage, Plant" was
the title of a paper read by Prof. G. Rich
ardson. He said sheep are particularly
fond of the plant, and if fed in sufficient
quantity it so effectually allays thirst that
the animals can go for weeks without
water and suffer no especial lnconven-
fence. The Mexicans use sotal as an
article of diet. It possesses a sweet
palatable taste and grows abundantly in
rocky soil both in Texas and Mexico. They
also make favorite beverage from it.
CARBON AND NITROGEN,
Prof. Leo Mars, of Columbus, Ohio, read
a paper on Estimation of Carbon and
Nitrogen in Organic Compounds" He
spoke principally upon the method of the
modified gas apparatus, which he esteemed
the most accurate and reliable method now
in use. He gave graphic description
of this machine, closing the work of the
section.

The method consists in passing definite
parts of unit current through the gal

plating the curve. A battery of any sort
is joined in a circuit with sensitive

illustrated with a descriptive black
board drawing, without reproduction of
