paper on the Rev. Frncis Winter, a
distinguished : clergyman of Bath,
during the last quarter of the eighteenth
century, and the first of the present, by
Mr.. Parker M. Reed of Bath, concluded
the afternoon session. A vote of thanks
was extended to Mr.. Reed by the society.
The attendance at the evening session
was larger than in the afternoon, the
hall being completely filled.
The following resolution, drafted by
the Hon. George F. Emery, received a
unanimous passage:
Resolved, That the embers of the
Maine Historical Society, now in session,
have learned with regret that their
esteemed associate, DR.. Lapham, is now
Frustrated by serious illness, and they
tender him their heartfelt and united
sympathy, and earnestly hope he may
speedily be restored to health and his
accustomed activity and usefulness.
The programme as announced in the
morning papers was then proceeded
with.
"a Red Letter Day" was the title of
the paper read by Geo. F. Emery in
which he gave an account of his observa-
tions and experience as one of the mem
ders of the Historical Society on the field
in Septem Der last. Many scenes and
things were delineated of historic in
terest but intimately associated with the
seaside villa of Mrs. Anna S. Claire
Gerry at Newcastle whose guest he was.
Mr.. Emery was presented with a PAM
phlet prepared by the late John S.. Jen-
ness after visiting England to consult
| original documents, an edition Of which
of twenty-five copies he procured to be
printed, the. purpose of which was to
settle some vexed question relating to
New Hampshire and Maine history, and
which is now regarded as authoritative.
This, with an embellished pamphlet
| containing the proceedings of the cele-
| bration of Newcatle's one hundredth
anniversary, Mr.. Emery presented to
| the society.
! Mr.. Charles S. Fobes read a long and
very entertaining account Of the Pre-.
sumpscot river. as notable for it's rich
ness of diction and felicity of phrase as
for it's presentation of historic facts. To
| abstract would be to mar it, and so
| readers must be content with this mere
4 mention.
| The same excuse may be offered for the
presentation of an abstract of DR..
| Charles e. BanKs's scholarly and charm
ingly written paper on the destruction OF
| Portland in ITS and the responsibility
| therefor; withsevidence from the English
archives. The paper exhibited the fruit
| of exhaustive research and unwearied
| diligence, and the topic was handled
with frmness and ease OF touch that
made the discussion as entertaining
from literary point of view as it was
valuable from an historical standpoint
DR.. Banks presented the character oil
| Capt. Mowatt in far morefavorable light
| than that in which most of US have been
| taught to regard it, describing him as a
| commander who was but doing his duty
to the Crown in the destruction of
rebel town.

Heliotropisrn.

Heliotropism is the peculiar property
shown by many plants, notably tho
sunhower, of always turning toward the
sun. In the case Of seedlings the phe-
nomenon is especially marked. The
cells on the light side are apparently
retarded in growth, thus causing a
curvature toward that side. Professor
Romanes has experimental with an in
termittent light, such as that of an
electric spark discharge, upon mustard
seedlings, and has found that the hello
tropic effect produced in this way is far
greater than that caused by the sun or
any other form Of light. Strange to
say, however. this abnormal influence
is unaccompanied by the generation of
phlorophyll, the green coloring matter
in plants which requires sunshine for
it's proper production. Pail Mall Ca

two photographs which he had taken at
midnight from his window, looking ON
the lake of Geneva and Mont Blanc.
The lake and the mountain are feebly

were both quite invisible to the eye in
the darkness. 1t is well known that
many stars, invisible to the eye, are re-
Vealed on the photographic plate, and

to be invisible, was quite legible in a
