absolute  alcohol,  but  upon  recovery  of  the  solvent  was  left  in  the 
same  condition  as  before.  The  residue  was  almost  completely  dis- 
solved by  water,  which  afforded  a  solution  possessing  a  sweetish  taste 
and  a  slight  acid  reaction. 
The  following  tests  showed  this  solution  to  contain  phloroglucol. 
Fehling's  solution,  reduced. 
Ferric  chloride     \  dark  violet  color  unchanged  by  heat, 
and  \ 
Sodium  carbonate,  )  maroon  colored  precipitate. 
Normal  lead  acetate,  no  precipitate. 
Basic  lead  acetate,  slight  yellow  precipitate. 
Gelatine,  no  change. 
Potassium  permanganate,  decolorized. 
Ammoniacal  silver  nitrate,  reduced. 
Calcium  hydrate,  flocculent  precipitate. 
CONCLUSIONS. 
Euparin  appears  to  form  no  sulphur  compound  with  concentrated 
sulphuric  acid.  With  chlorine  it  forms  a  definite  but  quite  unstable 
substitution  product.  With  acetic  anhydride  a  very  unstable  liquid 
compound  is  formed. 
Concentrated  nitric  acid  converts  euparin  into  picric  acid. 
On  fusion  with  potassium  hydrate,  euparin  is  converted  chiefly 
into  phloroglucol. 
FAIR  FORESTRY  OUTSIDE  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 
By  Jos.  Crawford,  Ph.G. 
Our  neighbors  on  the  north  were  very  kind,  hence  we  will  talk 
about  them  first  combined  under  the  general  term  Canada,  and  con- 
tained in  one  enclosure. 
They  were  the  following,  namely  :  Prince  Edward's  Island,  Nova 
Scotia,  New  Brunswick,  Quebec,  Ontario,  Northwestern  Territory 
and  British  Columbia,  with  special  mention  of  exhibits  of  Quebec, 
N.  W.  Territory  and  Ontario. 
These  showed  their  vast  timbers  by  sections  of  the  trees,  cross 
and  longitudinal,  plain  and  polished,  as  well  as  some  very  large- 
sized  boards,  among  them  Arbutus  wood,  which  is  not  represented 
in  the  States.
