achievement of each succeeding years work
at the annual meetings of the association.
Thus Joule' announced to the meeting of
1S43 his first experiments toward the de-
termination of the mechanical equivalent of
heat experiments which led on to thu great
est generalization of the century, the doc
trine of conservatism of energy. So, also,
to cite but one other example, 1t was at
the Ipswich meeting two years ago that
Lord Rayleigh and Prof. Ramsey announced
their startling discovery of the unrecognized
constituent of the air, argon.
Not every meeting can promise such great
discoveries, of course. for they do not come
every year anywhere; but visitors at the
Toronto meeting may feel sure that they
will be treated to reports, papers and dis
cussions, showing the very latest phase OF
progress. Those who wish tech
nical information may hear the latest theor-
les of matter discussed, perhaps by Lord
Kelvin; while those who sickle for "prac-
teal science may listen to the reports on
I'll Decay of Agriculture in Great Britain
and 1.-The Possible Infectiyity of the Oys-
ter" In either case men of authority VIII

record of unbroken progress and prosperity.
During the first quarter century it had for
presidents such men as Prof. Sedgwick, the
earl of Rose. Sir John Herschel, Sir David
Brewster. Sir. G. B. Airy, Colonel Edward
Sabine, the duke of Argyll and Sir Richard
Owen-a partial list of names and titles
which at a glance emphasizes the facts that
England has honored her men of science and
that the possession of a title is no evidence
of mental decrepitude. In 1853, at the Aber-
deem meeting, the association was presided
over by his royal highness, the prince consort
himself.
The association has from the outset opened
its doors. nominally and in fact, to "all
friends of science" Whoever sympathizes
with the aims of the association is eligible
to associate membership, and large numbers

On his return from the expedition to the

one, in the words of the late President

During Centennial year, relates the Phila"

was discovered, however, that the original

sustaining the enormous weight of marble
necessary for carrying a shaft $50 feet
above terra frma. A new foundation was
therefore needed, and architects thought a
solid concrete bed 100 feet square and nearly
fourteen feet in thickness would

During the operation OF replacing the old
foundation it was considered expedient Ia
provide means for noting carefully the
slightest vibration of the walls, lest the
monument might be in danger of collapsing;
Accordingly a heavy weight was suspended
by a stout thread from the apex TO a pan
OF thick syrup located on the base, so that
no chance drafts of air would be likely TO
sway the weight. An ingenius contrlvance
was so attached to the weight that the slight
est vibration of the shaft would be faithfully
recorded, and it's insecurity would at once
be an established fact.
One morning a few months after these care
full precautions had been taken there was a
great commotion among the workmen. A
complete record of numerous perturbations
and tremblings had been written on the in

in the lofty tower had somehow managed tc
catch its wings in the thread and was stu

been recorded by the index as testimony

CONVENTION OF SCIENTISTS
Forthcoming Meeting of the British Asso-
citation at Toronto.
RESULTS EXPECTED FROM DELIBERATIONS
Distinguished Men from All over the
World BoOked to Attend-History
of the Association and Achieve
ments of Its Members.

The Toronto meeting Of the British asso-
citation Tor the advancement of science, which
convenes on the 10th of this month, will be
one of the biggest scientific events of the
year. The eyes of the scientific world are
turned toward this meeting, and great things
are. expected of it, for most Of the leading
lights of science will be there. The associa-
tbon is just six years older than the queens
reign. For just two-thirds Of a century it
has been In existence, and during almost
that entire period has been the largest purely
scientific organization in the English-speaking
world. The history of its existence is one
long triumphal course. because nearly every
notable scientific achievement of the past
fifty years has been performed by a member
of The society.
CHANGING down the roll of its more recent
presidents. we find such names as Lyell,
Huxley, Tyndall, Lubbock, Rayleigh Play
fair, Cation and Lister. If here and here
appears a name better known in other than
scientific fields, like that of Lord Salisbury,
it Is always the name OF a real notable. never
of a mere fgurehead, and always of a person
who has at least a broad general knowledge
of science and a warm interest in its progress.
That such a person, even though not pro-
fessionally bound 10 science. should occa-
sionally be honored with the presidency of
the association, is exactly in Keeping win
one main object of the organization, which
has always been to keep technical science
in touch with the practical needs of the
people-to popularize sclence In the best
sense, without subjecting 1t to unwholesome
dilution.
HOW 1T WAS FOUNDED.
The parent of the British association was
the Yorkshire Philosophical society, which
had been founded about 1925, chiefly 10 study
the wonderful fossils of extinct tigers,
hyenas and elephants, that had just been dis
covered at Kirkdale. 1t occurred to- Sir
David Brewster, famous as a physicist and
az the editor of the Edinburgh encyc.c pedia,
afterward known as the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA, that the society might adyantsgeously
widen Its scope and extend the field OF is
usefulness. His suggestion was actively
seconded by four other Scotehmen. including
Sir Roderick l.. Murchison, who was then
president Of the Geological society Of London
and afterward director OF the geological
survey of Great Britain, At the instance OF
these men, an invitation was sent out by The
Yorkshire society to all similar sccities ami
10 all friends of science" in the kingdom to
attend a meeting at York, September q.
1881. More than 800 persons responded, amt
the result of the meeting was the organiza-
tion OF the British association for the adj
yancement Of science.
At the very outset the ambitious society
gained recognition. Its success With the
