3. POPULAR LECTURES AND READINGS. 
The meeting of the Royal Society on the 15th of May will present a 
novel feature, of which the literary men and women of Canada will hear 
with much interest. It has been the practice, for three or four years 
past, to combine popular lectures with the reading of the more technical 
and abstruse papers in the four sections of literature and science into 
which the whole society is divided. For instance, last year there was a 
very valuable address given on the subject of Forestry, by Professor 
Fernow, of Washington, and at the forthcoming meeting there will be 
one on Electricity, by Professor Cox, of MeGill University. The object 
is to give an opportunity to that large body of the public who are not 
versed in science to be informed on subjects of immediately practical and 
current interest. At this meeting it is proposed to go a step further and
