The Cosnic Club.

Last evening Prof. w. S. Bayley oil
Colby University delivered his third lee
ture of series of five, on the university
extension plan, before the Cosmic Club
of this city. This club was organized
lsst year, meeting weekly, and pursued
a course of chemistry. This year, under
tho able instruction of Prof. Bayley they
have taken up determinative mineralogy
and have made rapid progress. The
work is largely experimental, and more
satisfactory results can be obtained by
personal oversight of one thoroughly
conversant with the study, than in any
other way.
We see here an illustration of the good
work being done by the universities in
placing the means of advanced study
within the reach of all. Prof. Bayley
has about completed the state exhibit of
minerals for the Worlds Fair. It has
been the privilege of members Of the
club to contribute from their own private
collections to make this success.
