year. Tha cyts of tbo scientific world an
turned toward this meeting , and great tblng

lights of science will be there. The assocla <
tlon IP just six years older than the imecn'f

that entire period has been the largest purcl ;
Eolontlc organization In the Engllsh-speaklnf

there is a "lecture to operative classes" cle-

at the annual meetings of the association.
Thus Joule announced to the meeting of
1843 his first experiments toward the de
termination.of the mechanical equivalent of
lirat experiments v , hlch led on to th * ireal-
cst generalization of the century , the doe-
trine of conservatism of energy. So , also ,
to cite but dno other example , It was at
the Ipswich meeting twu years ago that
Lord Raylelgh and Prof. Ramsey announced
their startling discovery of the unrecognized
constituent of the air , argon.
Not every meeting can promise such great
discoveries , of course , for they do not come
every year anywhere ; but visitors at the
Toronto meeting may feel sure that they
will be treated to reports , papers and dia-
curelons , showing the very latest phase of
scientific progress. Those who wish tech
nical information may hear the latest theor
ies of matter dlscutsed , perhaps by Lord
Kelvin ; while those who stickle for "prac
tical science" may listen to the reports on
"the Decay of Agriculture in Great Hritaln"
and "The Possible Infectlvlty of the Oys
ter. " In either case men of authority will
be the expositors. Indeed , there will be
at the meeting men of universal fame from
all over the world , merely to heo and hear
whom , regardless of the topic , will be worth
a long journey to Toronto ,

In one of the many glass casfa In thu
Smithsonian institution at Washington Is u
fctuffed owl , Thla particular owl Is the

During Centennial year , relates the Phlla

vide the nece sar > funds for the com
pletion of the monument , which up to that
time had bi.'cn worked at only while tlm
seven ! eiraller appioprlatlons lasted , It
was dlbcovcrcd , however , that the original
foundatlons was likely to prove Incapable ot
sustaining the enormous weight of marble
nect&sary for carrying a shaft 550 feet
above terra flrma , A now foundation was
thcieforo needed , and architects thought a
solid conciete bed 100 feet bquaie and nearly
fourteen feet in thickness would accomplish
thu strengthening desired ,
During the operation of replacing the old
foundation It was considered expedient to
provide meaua for noting caretuily the
slightest vibration of the wallu , lest the
monument might be In danger of collapsing ,
Accordingly a heavy weight was suspended
by a stout thread from the apex to a pan
of thick syrup located on the babe , so that
no chance drafts of air would be likely to
sway the weight. An Ingenlus contrivance
was so attached to the weight that the slight
est vibration of tbo shaft would be faithfully
recorded , and Its Insecurity would at once
bean established fact.
One morning a few months after these care
ful precautions had been taken there was a
great commotion among the workmen , A
complete record of numerous perturbations
and tremblings had been written on the In
dex , showing conclusively that the mammoth
obclUk had jarred , swayed and settled dur
ing tbo night. Scientific heads were dubi
ously shaken After much persuasion one of
the men filially consented to go to the top
and examine Into the cause. The astonish
ing report came Into the midst of the anxious
throng below that an owl In teeklug shelter
In the lofty tower had somehow managed to
catch Its wings In the thread and wan ttlll

obocuio and unvalued , In an unimportant f |
library. It generally
private was supposed A
that only two copies of Washington's first "
essay In authorship existed , and within the
tiist fifteen years both of ihuso copies hml
pome up for aale one of them In the Drlnley
auction of 1S82 , fetching $050 , and the other
being bought for u laige price by the Lenox
library trustees.
The discovery of pamphlet number 3 was
made by accident a visitor to the house In
which It lay having found It while grubbing V
among some dusty papula In the library. i
This gentleman , knowing something of the |
value of such a pilze , persuaded the unbe- $
llevlng owner to ( .end It to Now York for " { '
valuation. It happened that ( he wealthy col'i
lector who made the purchase , wanted that 4
particular time-worn pilnt to complete hla *
eft of Washlngtonlana , and quite willingly ?
paid ? 1,000 for It. Little did Oeorgc WashIngton - 7
Ington , colonel of the Virginia milltin , think , $
as ho coi reeled the proof ( sheets of his "Ite- t
port , " away back In 1751-5 , that a copy ot 4
that unpictcntlous work should ono day bo
worth thousands of dollars.
When Washington set forth nt the head ot
a detachment of mllltla lo examine Into the
condition of the sparsely scattered Ohio forts ,
the Jnuiney was not one suitable to u mere
caipct knight. Indians and French were
united against the IJrltlah for , It must bo
remembered , that George Washington was to
all Intents and purposes , a "Ilrltlsher" in
17G4-5.
MET WITH ADVENTURES.
In the course of hla Journey from point
to point , the > nung colonel met with ud-
vp.Uuras not a few , but throughout his "ro-
port" ho Is extremely careful to eliminate
anything that might bo described as stirring
or un oiiviTllonal , although cunent history
tcll us that the expedition encountered
many events of thlH natuic , On thu con
trary tlm "icport" simply recounts the con
dition of the blockhouses and stockades vis
ited , the health and standing of their gar-
rlsono , and the exact quantities of ammuni
tion , food , etc. , In their stores , Altogether
It would be dllllcirU to extract material
for a liltUoilcal romance from thla meager
woik by the father of hlj country. Hut your
true book collector never looks beyond the
tltlo page. To thu man that owns It ,
Washington's "Report of a V'slt to the Ohio
Korts" Is well worth $1,000 ,
