is  hoped  that  many  will  avail  themselves  of  this  provision,  and  exhibit  goods  of  the 
above  description,  in  addition  to  those  which  may  be  shown  by  our  Canadian  friends. 
Goods  from  the  United  States,  for  the  above  purpose,  will  enter  Canada  in  bond. 
The  Permanent  Secretary  expects  soon  to  be  in  possession  of  the  necessary  details 
for  facilitating  the  exportation  and  re-importation  of  these  goods,  and  will  commu- 
nicate them  by  circular  to  all  who  may  desire  to  exhibit.  It  is  desirable  that  appli- 
cation for  space  be  made  to  the  Local  Secretary,  Mr.  Henry  J.  Rose,  Toronto,  as 
early  as  possible  before  August  15th. 
We  are  also  informed  that  the  Grand  Trunk  Railway  will  issue  round-trip  tickets 
from  any  station  on  their  line  to  Toronto  and  return  atone  and  one-third  (1^)  fare. 
For  many  members  Niagara  Falls  will  be  the  natural  place  of  rendezvous  on  Satur- 
day and  Sunday  preceding  the  meeting.  Some  members  have  expressed  a  desire  to 
return  by  way  of  Montreal,  Lake  Champlain  and  Saratoga,  others  by  way  of  Mon- 
treal and  Boston.  Those  returning  by  way  of  Niagara  can  obtain  tickets  between 
that  place  and  Toronto,  by  boat  across  Lake  Ontario,  at  $3.00  for  the  round  trip. 
Other  arrangements  are  contemplated,  and  due  notice  will  be  given.  Any  sugges- 
tions in  regard  to  the  trip  will  be  gladly  received  by  the  Secretary,  who  requests  all 
candidates  for  membership  to  mail  their  applications  to  him  or  to  the  Chairman  of 
the  Executive  Committee  at  as  early  a  date  as  possible.

Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Ireland — At  a  meeting  held  in  Dublin,  April  3d, 
Dr.  A.  Smith  in  the  chair,  Dr.  E.  Davy  read  a  paper  On  the  application  of  the  molyb- 
denum test  to  certain  adulterations  of  essential  oils,  in  which  it  is  suggested  to  detect 
alcohol  in  volatile  oils  by  agitating  the  latter  with  an  equal  bulk  of  water,  and  after 
separation  bringing  a  few  drops  of  the  water  in  contact  with  a  solution  of  molybdic 
acid  in  sulphuric  acid,  contained  in  a  white  capsule,  and  slightly  warmed,  the  tem- 
perature not  to  exceed  2i2°F.  In  the  presence  of  alcohol  a  blue  color  will  instantly 
appear;  water  agitated  with  pure  volatile  oils  has  no  effect.  The  author  employed 
a  test-tube,  drawn  out  to  a  fine  point  like  a  pipette.
