 NATURAL PHILOSOPHY. 

 During the last Session a Course of Six Popular 

 Lectures has been given in place of the ordinary Sectional 

 Meetings. 



These Lectures were as follows : — 



"Electric Lighting and Power "—Dr. Keith. 



'• Some Modern Applications of Chemistry to Medicine "—Dr. 



SCHIDROWITZ. 



"Ancient Chemistry, Alchemy, and the Alchemists "—MR. J. 



Bairstow, F.C.S. 

 " Popular Beverages "—Mr. J. Welsh, M.P.S. 

 " Food : Its Analysis and Adulteration "—The Secretary. 

 "Coal: What we get from it "—Mr. J. Bairstow, F.C.S. 

 The Lectures were all well illustrated with experiments, 

 and were very fairly attended; it is intended to continue 

 them next Winter, if the Committee thinks fit. 



Special thanks are due to Mr. Bairstow, both for his 

 own Lectures, and for the trouble he has taken in inducing 

 others to Lecture. ^ ^ ^^^^^
