germ burrows under the scalp, throwing up
little scales of cuticle, and sapping the Vi

THE ROYAL SOCIETY.

Yesterdays meeting If the Royal Society was

the report Of "A committee appointed to consider
some means Of establishing British academy OF
which should represent philosophico historical
branches Of study. well as The more exact
sciences to which the Royal Society has in The
rNain If not altogether. confined itself. The idea
sprang out Of the fact that the Royal Society
has taken active part in the formation of AN
international association of the principal sCien-
titic and literary academies OF the world. This
association is divided into two sections scientific
and literary. While the Royal Society can rep
resent this country in the scientific section, it
represent Great Britain III the other section
which includes history. antiquities. philosophy

The discussion of yesterday like the report
upon which il based, was inCOnclusVe. The
Royal Society shrnkS from taking active
part in the formation Of another academy deal
ing with the subjects in question which might
in various ways, and especially in its demands
upon the public purse. become serious rival
to the Royal Society itself. The only alternative
is that the Royal Society should enlarge itself in
one way another to include the studies
classed the Continent literary But
though more than one way of doing this has
been suggested the difficulties in every ease are
obvious and great So far he gathered
the weight of opinion in the Royal Society is
against any attempt to meet what. after all, is
a rather visionary demand. If the disadvantages
flowing from the want of academy
the students of the subjects in question who
ought to supply the need they feel. The Royal
Society has a vast field for its energies in con-
nection with its own proper work.

means of English vessels alone. There
was a very heavy duty on sugar and
molasses, which came from the French
West Indies, and the result OF this vas
that smuggling became very common
alf of the signers of the Declaration
of independence were smugglers ana
John Hancock himself was prince
among smugglers. During the French
and Indian wars, the colonists were
very lax about paying their taxes FOR
the support of the soldiers, and after
that the English deNled that the
smuggling must stop and that it ~IS4s
necessary to have a central taxing
power. The government officers were
commanded to search houses for
goods, and this aroused the wrath OF
the colonists. However, this did not
affect the south very much.
Then came the Stamp Act, which
affected all alike, and that was the
worst thing which the king could have
put in force. The king is taxing us
without our consent were the words
of Patrick Henry, and taxation with
out representation is tyranny and this
cry rang out through all the country.
1t was taken up by William Pitt in
England, who was as warm friend
of our country as Washington or Put
nam. AT that time there was taxation
without representation in England.
where some of the great cities such as
pi1sy1o in oh a,,a oxf1 NJ lToy
chester, had no representatives in the
House of Commons, which was largely
made up of members from the small
pocket boroughs of the KING The
same political flight was going on over
there. The king hated Pitt and he said
he hoped to see the day linen Pitt was
dead. If Pitt had been king there
would probably have been no revolu.
ton at that time. We must not think
of this as war against the English
people, but as agains the king.
Did it ever occur to you that those
10000 Hessian soldiers were sent over
here because it was difficult to get
Englishmen to go? When the king
found it for the best to repeal the
hated stamp tax he put a tax on tea
just to show that he had the power,
and many man in England was glad
when the tea was thrown into the har.
Dor of Boston. After that came the
Boston port bill and the military des.
potic government of Gage, which EN-.
Uttered the hearts of the people. We
must not forget the part which human
nature played in all this, and that If
these questions were before us here
in Hartford today some of us would
be on the side of the Tories"
