Nature Studies.

The second preliminary meeting of the
scholars of the public schools for forming
chapter of the Agassiz Association was held
in the Upper Grammar school room FRIDAY
evening, May 18th. Some of the pupils who
are interested were unable to be present on
account of other engagements, but a goodly
number reported and the outlook for form
ing large and successful chapter is en-
couraging. The preferences of the pupils
for the various sciences were expressed as
follows: botany, IA; chemistry, s; entomo-
logy, ornothology and astronomy, 2 each /;
mineralogy and zoology, l each. Those inter-
ested in chemistry reported some expert
ments in testing the purity of water; the
botanists exhibited specimens of spring flow
ers collected, and those interested in other
sciences each reported more or less work
Some were interested in two OF more studies
and much interest was shown in birds and
insects. The pupils are now doing out of
door work in the various lines At the next
meeting, which will be called soon, it is
hoped that a chapter will be permanently
organized.
general meeting for all interested in
nature work was held at the High school
room Monday evening and was largely at
tended. Rev. j. NJ. leighton gave very en-
tertaining and interesting talk on spring
flowers, which he covered with sufficient de-
tail for any one to recognize the plants,
nearly all the trees, shrubs and flowers
which have bloomed in this section from
early spring to the present time. He spoke
first of the early blossoming trees, then of
the wild flowers and then of shrubs, and in
cidentally of some which will bloom later.
Like the speakers who have preceded him
in other lines of natures Mr.. Leighton spoke
in common terms, using the scientific
botanical names only so far as was neces-
sary to make each case perfectly clear He
promises that later, when the rose family are
in boom-which includes our common fruit
trees, bushes and vines, as we'll as roses
proper-he will speak on that line. At the
close of his lecture the committee on consti-
tuition reported and the constitution pre-
sented by them was adopted. The society
is known as the Nature Club, and its objects
are to study nature in Belfast and vicinity.
A meeting will be held at the same place
tomorrow, Friday, evening, at 730 O'Clock,
to complete the organization and cordial
invitation is extended to all interested to
attend
