Denver, June 2O.-The convention
Of the American Association for the
Advancement Of Science which opens
its sessions in Denver August 18th
next will bring together the most re
markable body OF men that Colorado
has ever entertained. The associa-
tion and its allied bodies represent the
scientific knowledge of the United
States and In some lines that OF the
world. In the rangs of Its members
are the most noted OF the educators OF
this country, the most noted investi-
gators In all lines Of science aud the
persons most interested In applied SCI
ence. The convention will adjourn on
August 3Oth and the members OF the
different bodies will scatter through
the state for some Individual work OF
investigation and research.
Realizing that this is an unusual con-
ventfOn the people of Denver, headed
by the Chamber OF Commerce, have
been making unusual preparations Tor
the entertainment of the scientists.
There are SO many unsolyed problems
in science that could be successfully
applied In the agricultural and mining
interests of Colorado that the scientists
who have hobby for original investi'
CATION and whose greatest ambition Is
to discover something new will be well
coined. Arrangements are being made
for excursions to various parts Of the
state. The different localities that
will be benefited in this way are being
consulted with so that the problems
that confront them can be presented
for solution.
There will he about two thousand
scientists In attendance on the conven-
tion. The parent body Is over hfty
years old and its annual meetings mye
been q clearing house to which men OF
science of the whole country have
brought the results OF their work and
from which they have returned with
renewed interest In research. The mi
gratory meetings in widely separated
places have extended intelligent inter
est In science and have led to grenter
appreciation of Its Importance. An or
ganiZation competent to represent the
concensus Of expert opinion has been
an important factor in guiding the SCI
entific activity of the country.
At the present time the association
numbers about 2,400 members and In
cludes in Its list OF active fellows such
well known scientific men as New
comb. Barker. Brush. Young, Lesley,
