By authority of the Board of Trustees, beginning Jauu- 

 uary 1, 1917, the price of the Proceedings of the Natural 

 Science Association of Staten Island, dating from 1883 to 

 1905, will be increased to $1.50 per volume for members and 

 $3.00 for non-members. Those who wish to secure these vol-

The first of the season's course of free illustrated lectures 

 for children, on "Quito: City of the Equator," by Mr. Stafford 

 C. Edwards, was given on Friday afternoon, October 27. About 

 300 children applied for admission and Mr. Edwards kindly re-

 could not be seated the first time should not be disappointed.

 Electricity," by Mr. Rupert H. Hopkins, on November 3, the 

 assembly room was filled to its seating capacity and many 

 children had to be turned away.
