ACADEMY Of SCIENCES
. MEETS HERE APRIL 1918
Sessions to Be Held at Ma
ti0naI MuSeum-Member-
ship Limited to 100.

One of the most important annual con-
will be held in Washington April 1918
when the National Academy of Sciences
comes to the capital to hold sessions in
tie National Museum. This is not so
comprehensive an organization as the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science, which met here last fall.
Instead of having thirty affiliated socie-
ties and 1900 members. 1t is limited to
about 100 members. who correspond to
the French Immortals. This is not the
first time the National Academy has met
here. The permanent secretary is Arnold
Hague, a Washington scientist, and 1t
numbers several of the government scien-
fists among it's members.
That the academy is high-browed and
takes itself seriously Is instanced by a
story which is told on Prof Clark. more
formally known as Frank w. Clark OF
the geological survey. He is a scientist
of International reputation, and used to
be the president of the American Chem
ical Society, which is a pretty serious
organization itself. The academy was hold
ing one of it's annual meetings at the
Cosmos Club long time ago. when Prof.
Clark was not member. One OF the
academicians, hurrying through the read
ing room, passed the professor immersed
in a scientific periodical. and said, Hello.
Clark how'S the Comical Society coming
on?'
Fine" said Clark. blandly. ''how's the
Notional Academy?
Just how long that remark kept him out
of the academy Is not matter of rec
ord, but it is said to have been years.
