DEXTRINE MALTOSE IN BEER-WORTS. 133 



arm a globe, inscribed with the word Canada, in rather large 

 characters, the whole being commemorative of the conquest 

 of Canada in the reign of this king. This photograph was 

 taken expressly for the lecturer, the statue in the Senate 

 house having been never before copied in this way. The 

 smallness of the scale, however, does not allow the word Can- 

 ada to be visible to the ordinary eye. Dr. Scadding also 

 exhibited a photograph of the graceful idealization of Canada 

 in the grand group entitled America, by the sculptor, John 

 Bell, at the north-west angle of the lower platform of the 

 Prince Consort memorial in London. This fine figure of 

 Canada, who is seen " pressing the Rose of England to her 

 breast," was expressly prepared for the illustration of this 

 paper by Mr. Lemaitre, 324 Yonge street, who skilfully 

 detached it from a photograph of the general group and 

 enlarged it. 



In addition to the photographs mentioned in the paper. 

 Dr. Scadding exhibited an engraving of the interior of the 

 Senate House of the University of Cambridge, showing the 

 four statues ; a large medallion with heads of George II. and 

 Queen Caroline facing each other on the obverse, and on the 

 reverse their seven sons and daughters ; an engraved portrait, 

 of Queen Caroline ; a two pound gold piece (1739) of George 

 II. inserted in a contemporary silver cup, and having, in addi- 

 tion to the usual titles of the king, the following : — Bruns- 

 vicensis et Lunebitrgensis Dux: Sacri Imperii Romani Archi 

 Thesauriiis et Elector, abbreviated thus : B : ET : L : D : S : R : 

 I : A : T : ET : E. Also an engraving of the seated bronze 

 figure of the Prince Consort in the Memorial. 



C. Gordon Richardson read a paper on " Dextrine Maltose 

 in Beer- Worts," of which the following is an abstract : — 



When malt is acted upon by the peculiar ferment of malt called 

 diastase it breaks up into dextrine and maltose. The proportion which 

 these two bodies when found will bear to each other depends upon 

 three things : The heat at which the mash is made, the length of 

 time it is permitted to stand, and the diastatic capacity of the malt
