met in conjunction with the North
Carolina section of the American
Chemical Society. At this joint meet
ing were presented those papers of
both bodies. which were thought to
be Of more general interest. Aside
from the papers of Messrs. Poteat,
Rankin and Cooke. which had been
reserved for this joint meeting, there
were also presented the following
chemical papers:
The Coloring Matter in the Skins of

Inactive Thorium. Or. Fritz Zerban.

interesting researches i'm Thorium, re-
sulting i'm the discovery by Or. Basker-
vile of the two new chemical ele-
ments to which he has given the
names of Carohnium and Berrelium.
The breaking uD of the old element
Thorium into the two new elements,
and the residue which must consti-
tute the new Thorium has proven a
great discovery, and places DIR. Bask-
erVille in the very forefront of Ameri-
can chemists, in fact, he is the first
American chemist to discover new
chemical element.
Dr. Baskerville explained in simple
language and diagrams the apparatus
and methods used in making the re-
searches. Even those of the audience
who were not chemists found no diff
Guilty in following the main points
brought out in the discourse, and DIR.
Baskerville was literally applauded
at the end of his address.
In his address as retiring president
of the Academy of Science, Prof.
Baskerville made a strong and direct
plea for more real, true, scientific re-
search among those engaged in scien-
tifc work, and maintained that
science must Re popularized and
brought to the people without cheap
ening or lessening the dignity of true
research.
A most pleasing feature of the &C.
caSion was the informal reception
rendered by the ladies and faculty OF
Wake Forest college after the presf-
dents address on Friday evening.
During the business meeting of the
academy it was voted TO hold the next

MILK INSPECTION,

Commissioner Darlington is going to the
right spot" with his milk inspection BY send
ing his agents into the country he will reach
the sources Of by far the greater part Of the
adulteration and infection Of milk. Though he
may have no legal power TO force darymen to
submit TO inspection and regulation he has n
club which can be made effective TO induce
welcome. No milk can be sold in the city with
out the permission of the Health Department
and the Commissioner. by refusing to permit
the sale of any milk unless he knows it's source
and is satisfied as to its cleanliness. can make
the visits Of his Inspectors ardently longed for.
not only In rural New-YOrk, but even in the
foreign territory of New-Jersey.
The accounts given in The Tribune Of recent
Investigations show the need of attention not
merely to the small milk dealers. but to the big
concerns which make a bid for high class patron-
age. DR.. DarlingtOn's agents visitel a dairy
farm, and there found the fresh milk being
diluted with skinned milk, and also discovered
large quantities OF formaldehyde. drug whose
presence at a dairy is self-explanatory. The
aduterated milk was consigned to a large and
reputable house in this city. The inspectors fol-
lowed it here into the custody Of the dealers.
We have heard recently many complaints from
patrons of supposedly high class compaDies.
which are not so easily reformed by small fines
as the petty dealers who supply the tenements.
Families have received milk which was evident
ly old and dOctOred to keep it from souring. and
agents of these companies, seeking to molffy
indignant customers. have admitted that they
had been having widespread trouble from poor
milk and promised to get better The investiga-
tons Of the Health Department fully explain
the complaints
The inspectors should regularly test the milk
of even the most reputable companies both for
water and chemicals Then the work of visit
ing farms should be continued and extended.
Even the honest dairy farmers often send to
market milk unfit for use Cans are washed in
dirty and infected water Cows are allowed to
drink 1t. Ignorant and filthy persons are en-
ployed TO do the milking. and, even when the
product is not adnlterated it comes to market
in an unclean, If not positively unhealthy state.
Perhaps Dr. Darlington might find women in.
spectors useful in enforcing cleanliness in the
dairips
