The Professor, Mr.. L. L. Van

eminent chemist, and in this capa-
city has already made series of
analyses of the public drinking
waters of Honolulu, the results of
which appear in the report of the
Minister of Interior.
After an hour and a quarter had
been taken up with physical geogra-
ply and geology, Professor Merritt
announced that he had sent an invi-
tation to the members of the Legis-
lature to be present, and that it had
been accepted. BY IL o'clock, the
buses laden with detachments of
"assembled wisdom" arrived. The
first portion of the exercises con-
sisted in the analysis by each stu
dent at his or her own table of
mixture containing chemical COM
pound unknown to the student. AS
the analyses were finished, each stu
dent handed his report in writing to
the examining committee, who had
previously been furnished by the
professor with lists of the contents
of the mixtures. The processes had
been attentively watched by the
members of the Legislature and
other visitors. OF eleven reports,
ten were found 10 be perfectly cor
rect. Part second consisted of indi-
vidual examinations of students on
topics of general chemistry, illus
trated by experiments, in the lee
ture room. These examinations
were emnently satisfactory. BY
special request, Professor Van Slyke
proceeded with some very interest
ing experiments at which both the
honorable members of the assembly
