in papers and new methods of work. The doctor states his posi- 

 tions clearly and forcibly and no one can mistake his meaning. 

 His special work on bacteria, his photomicrographs of the same, 

 and his work on adulteration of foods, will stand the test of time. 



Dr. A. Y. Moore is not as fleshy as we would like to see him, 

 but we do not believe he has his superior in this country in get- 

 ing out of an objective that which it is capable of showing. 



Mr. C. M. Vorce, of Cleveland, is certainly able to do hard

Dr. S. O. Gleason charms all who listen to his words. It is 

 a pleasure indeed to have him with us. Although his years are

 John Kruttschnitt, E. H. Griffith.

 unusually interesting character, and some of them of vast im- 

 portance to the progress of science. Over fifty new members 

 were added to the list and the attendance of the regular mem- 

 bers was as large as at any previous meeting. 



Is it a Micro-photograph or a Photo-micrograph? The 

 "Imperial Dictionary," published by the Century Co. last year, 

 says under " Microphotography ": "A photographic process by 

 which an object is diminished in size, and yet its exact form re- 

 tained." It then gives as an instance of this, the well-known 

 method adopted during the siege of Paris in 1870, when com- 

 munication was carried on by letters reduced to the minimum 

 of space. This is also given as a simple word. Under "Photo- 

 micrography " it says : " The art or process of enlarging minute 

 objects by means of the microscope, and projecting the enlarged
