The Founding of the Royal Society.

Sir Robert Moray, the first presi,
dent, brought in word from the court
hat 1.-THE king had been acquainted
with the design of the meeting. And
he did well approve Of it, and would
be ready TO give encouragement TO it"
The royal patron fulfilled his promise.
The charter of Incorporation passed
the great seal on the 18th of July,
1862, and was read on the 18th of Au-
gust following.
Evclyn's Diary" Of this date con-
tains this passage: Our charter being
now passed under the broad seal, con-
stituting us a corporation, the name
of Royal society, for the improvement
of natural knowledge, was this day
read; and was all that was done this
afternoon. being very long"
Charles affected chemistry and nav
igation. and, when he grew tired OF
his wine and his mistresses, would
resort TO his laboratory, and as the
young rakes, who circled about him,
initiated the royal exemplar's dissipa-
tons, SO they f~requented the scientific
lectures, and tried to look wise. But
even Charles and lis fops could not,
by their attention, harm the growing
sciences in the estimation of good and
true men. The reason for this may
be found in the recognition Of the
need of such a society, and the char.
acter of the men constituting it. The
fame of such meH as Sir Robert Moray,
Boyle. Evelyn, Pepys, Wallis, Hooke
and Wren, who We're among the in
co~rporators, continues lively to this
day. 1t may not be. as has been said,
that the incorporation of the Royal
society was the only wise act Of
Charles III, yet it has proved itself,
without a doubt, his wisest act.-Dr.

The Mad King Of bavaria.

AT dinner King Otto-when he con.

at one end of the table. Around the
other end are seated the doctor, the

however, never takes the smallest no

sullen silence, which he only breaks

THE BUSY ANTS.

Many of our boys and girls have, no
doubt, often wondered why the ants are
such rapid and continuous travellers,
always on the go, and always going
seemingly for u purpose. So they do.
Let us watch them. Here they are,
on the rose basket. What forl Their
breakfast, perhaps. Just watch them;
see how they tickle the aphides, or
green fly, with the micnnn in order
to make lhcm yield n saccharinc liquid
of which ants are very fond.
This isa systematic work with them;
| they farm out insects Of various kinds
to feed upon, and as Systematically as
a farmer docs his stock, In the green
house they take the young scale in

When the female ants are ready TO
deposit their eggs, they wander about
through their palace and let fall at
hazard their little eggs; the workers
pick them up and gather them to-

separate the galleries. The larvae are

The Science VI Popcorn.

In what condition is the starchy in

plodesl The common experience Of
the kitchen and laundry will help us
here. In making up the mixture for
s~titfening clothes, the laundress puts
starch into water and boils il, and we
all know that in this process the starch
loses its powdery character and be-
comes blended with the water into a
pasty, translucent mass. Tho effect
upon the individual starch granule is
a ~softening and considerable increase
of its bulk and, finally, its rupture
and diffusion through the water.
While we cannot see the inside OF
the grain at the critical moment when
il has all but burst, We may. in view
of what we now know, probably sur
mise the truth. Is il not very likely
that, as the grain gets hotter and hot
ter, the moisture present in the cells, or
in the starch grauules themselves, soft
ems them first, and then, when the
heat becomes too great to permit its
remaining in the fluid state, it sudden

starch expands in every direction,
