SOCIETY. 
Ordinary Meeting, October 3rd, 1865, 
Edward Schunck, Ph.D., F.R.S., &c., Vice-President, in 
the Chair. 
Dr. Roscoe exhibited an enlarged photograph of the 
moon, 21 inches in diameter, taken by Mr. L. M. Ruther- 
ford, of New York, on the 6th of March last. Mr. Brothers, 
Mr. Vernon, and other members, pronounced it to be the 
best lunar photograph they had seen, and decidedly superior 
to any yet produced in this country. 
Mr. Dyer, referring to the breaking of the Atlantic Cable, 
expressed his surprise that no apparatus had been provided 
to seize and secure the end of the cable when the rupture 
took place, as contrivances for a similar purpose were in use 
in almost every cotton mill. 
A paper was read “ On the Internal Heat of the Earth as 
a Source of Motive Power,” by Mr. George Greaves, 
M.R.C.S.
