SCIENQE. 



873 



ogy and Chemistry, will be held this year under 

 the auspices of the Exposition, many of them 

 meeting within the Exposition grounds in the 

 Palais des Congres erected especially for this 

 purpose. The official delegates will be ac- 

 credited by the Commissioners General, acting 

 on behalf of the president or monarch of their 

 respective countries. 



Commissioner Peck has recognized the im- 

 portance of this feature of the Exposition and 

 the permanent value which comprehensive re- 

 ports of the deliberations of these bodies would 

 represent, and with this idea in view a syste- 

 matic propaganda has been carried on under 

 the direction of Professor J. Howard Gore, of 

 Columbian University, Washington, D. C, as 

 Director of the Department of Organization of 

 International Congresses, with the result that 

 about one hundred and fifty persons, eminent 

 in their several specialties, have been accred- 

 ited as delegates. In this work the Govern- 

 mental Departments have been first consulted, 

 then local and national organizations and in- 

 dividuals. 



It is suggested that all men of science who 

 attend these congresses, in whatever capacity, 

 register at the office of the Director, at No. 20 

 Avenue Eapp, Paris. Those in charge will 

 take pleasure in giving all information in their 

 possession concerning the programs, places of 

 meeting, proposed fetes and excursions in con- 

 nection with the Congresses, etc. , and may thus 

 be able to put persons with whom they have 

 not previously corresponded, in touch with 

 such Congresses as may be most congenial and 

 profitable.

 many of the congresses but the following list
