Hobson, Hoole, Lincoln, Moss, and Platts. The selected”, 
portfolio pictures were also shown, the members gaining this 
distinction being Messrs. Hast, J. Epps, Jun., Gower, and 
Hoole. 
In the Small Hall was a fine display of exotic butterflies and 
beetles from the collection of Mr. P. Crowley, and some ripe 
citrons grown at Waddon House. The silk-producing moths 
afforded much interest, as did the delicate little nests of various 
species of humming birds, and that of the red-plumed bird of 
paradise (Paradisea raggiana), the single egg shown being the 
only one yet obtained of this beautiful bird. The curious nest 
of the trap-door spider was also shown, and eggs of this insect, 
under the microscope. Mr. Dedman had a series of British shells, 
freshwater and marine; Mr. H. M. Klaassen, a graphoscope, 
mosses and lichens, and some very quaint and well-executed 
heads carved in the white portion of dried horse-chestnuts by 
Mrs. Hubbard. Some models of Indian cooking utensils were 
shown by Mr. Henig, and Japanese pictures of the Impeyan 
pheasant and partridge by Mr. Epps, Jun., the actual feathers of 
the birds being used to form the pictures. Mr. J. Henry Drage 
exhibited a large collection of British marine Alge, beautifully 
mounted, and retaining much of the brilliant colouring peculiar 
to these delicate growths of the sea. Mr. L. Casella showed and 
described the new patent Bridges-Lee Photo-Theodolite, and Mr. 
J. H. Baldock a “ Krémskép,” which Mr. Ives has been many 
years perfecting. It shows a picture in natural colour, obtained 
by taking three negatives through three different coloured glasses. 
Positives are made from these, and exhibited through glasses of 
the same three colours as were used to take the negatives. 
Mr. Newby gave a demonstration of the X-rays, and Mr. L. 
M. Waterhouse, of Birdhurst Road, gave an interesting ex- 
hibition of electro-static and electro-magnetic phenomena, with 
apparatus of his own construction. These experiments included 
electrical discharges in high vacua, statical discharges through 
tubes, revolving vacuum tubes, microphone, rotating electro- 
magnets, &c. The apparatus shown included electrical instru- 
ments for testing and general work, and a number of tiny 
incandescent lamps were connected up to demonstrate electric 
lighting. Mr. Waterhouse also exhibited a watch which is 
absolutely non-magnetic, being unaffected by the strongest 
dynamo. 
A table in the Small Hall was devoted to lantern slides, dis- 
playing much good work by members of the Club, and in the old 
School of Art there were several shows given during the evening, 
alternating with the cinematograph, furnished by Messrs. Noakes 
and Norman, of Greenwich, Mr. Norman giving the demonstra- 
tion himself, the Royal Artillery in Jubilee procession and the
