SCIENCE AT THE WORLDS FAIR

A movement, I learn, has been started in scientific circles for the formation of some permanent organization which should maintain, develop and utilize the good relations existing between British and French men of science, which were so fully initiated at the reunions of the British and French Associations for the Advancement of Science at Dover and Boulogne. With this object in view it Is proposed to form general and advis- ory committee, consisting of members of the British Association, the Associ- ation Francaise, and of other represen- tatives of pure and applied science, edu- cation, art, etc., with the object of pro- noting arrangements for an interna- tional meeting or assembly in connection with the Paris Exhibition next year. It is widely felt that there is not only room but need, for some organization which would bring together for each of the leading departments and congresses of the Exhibition the specialist, the educationist and the intelligent public,
