THE SCIENTISTS.
Proceedings OF Yesterdoy's session-PrOf'
Marsh Elected President.


At the business session of the Academy Of
Science yesterday Prof. o. G. Marsh, of New
Haven, was elected president, and the follow
ing gentlemen foreign associates A. Agassiz,
]. d. Dana. w. Gibbs, A. Hall, $. Newcomb,
Struve, Adams, Galley, Clausus, Dumas
Helmholtz Kirchofr, Pastern, Stokes, Syl-
vester, Hooker, Thomson, Writ, Anvers,
Bertrand, Huxley, Virchow, Berthelot, Bous-
singault Chcvreul, DeCandodo, Kolliker, OPP
polzer, and Richthoier.
At the scientific session there were read n
paper "On tho Composition Of the Venom OF
Serpents," by S. Weir Mitchell and Il. T.
Roichcrt. This was very interesting paper,
detailing number of experiments with this
subtle and violent agent. The conclusion of
the paper embodied the substance of the title
"Up to this date all observers have regarded
the venoms as representing u single poison.
We have been able to show that the venom OF
the moccasin and rattlosnake contains three
proteids-one analogous to peptones, putre-
facient; one akin to globulins, and much
more fatal poison, probably attacking the
respiratory centers and destroying the power
of the blood to clot; and third, resembling
the albumen, and probably harmless. Finally,
we have learned that the poisons of the rat
tlesnakc, the copperhead, and the mocCasin
are capable of being destroyed by bromine
iodine, hydro-bromic acid (33 per cent? so.
dium hydrato potassium hydrate, and potas'
stun pormanganate."
Prof. w. Ferrol then read highly tech
nical paper on the maxima and minima tide
predicting machine, with exhibition OF the
machine.
Prof Ira Remsen then read paper on
"Changes in the Properties of Atomic Groups
by Changes in Positions of Molecules" Prof
Remsen gave in detail the results of many
experiments, and his paper proved exceed.
ingly interesting to those qualified by tech
nical education to follow him. As a lecturer
Prof Remsen has a quick, graceful, fluent
delivery that makes his talk pleasant to hear
Prof Langley followed with paper on
Measurement of Wave Lengths of Heat.
He detailed at length his many failures, the
experiments he had with the formula, all Of
which were of no value, and finally gave the
results of his experience. At the close of thi.
paper the scientific session was adjourned
until Friday morning, Thursday being de
voted to business and Prof Henry's statue
unveiling.
Prof Marsh, the newly elected president
was born at Lockport, N. Y, Oct 20, 1881
graduated at Yale college and the Yale Scien
tific school in 1862. He prosecuted scientific
studies in Germa ny, and was appointed pro
fcssor of paleont ology in Yale college in 1866
Hc has written largely upon that science
During recent years he has been investigat
ing the exit net animals of the Rocky mount
| ain region in North America, discovering
more than 200 animals before unknown
which he desc ribed. He has prepared Al
extended Nom DIR on the subject. Mr.. Marsl
is nephew of the philanthropist, Georg,
Peabody, and is wealthy.
The presidents of the academy since its
foundation in 1868 have been Profs. Bache
Henry, Rogers, aud now Marsh.
