56o  Obituary.  {Am,it'i£arm' 
The  meat  packing  companies  having  their  principal  business  centres  here 
made  a  very  extensive  exhibit. 
The  Forestry  Building  was  one  of  the  most  unique  displays  in  the  Exposition 
— woods  of  all  kinds  being  there  shown  both  in  their  rough  state  with  the  bark> 
and  dressed  smoothly  and  varnished,  showing  their  structure  beautifully. 
The  California  exhibit  was  a  very  interesting  one,  the  display  of  wines  and 
fruit  was  varied — that  of  olive  oil  was  particularly  noteworthy. 
The  German  Chemical  manufacturers  made  most  interesting  exhibits,  nota- 
bly that  of  Ultramarine  ;  a  cave  of  Alum,  coated  with  ultramarine,  lighted  in 
the  interior  made  a  beautiful  display.  Various  manufacturers  were  represented 
in  this  collective  exhibit.  Schering,  so  largely  engaged  in  chloral  making,  and 
Merck  who  also  had  a  separate  building  in  which  his  preparations  were  dis- 
played very  advantageously. 
The  German  universities'  exhibit  included  rare  chemicals  made  by  the 
professors  of  the  different  German  schools. 
The  famous  Berlin  porcelain  wares,  so  favorably  known  by  chemists,  made 
a  good  exhibit,  while  the  other  makers  were  also  represented. 
The  exhibit  of  Norway  was  notable  for  its  paper  and  wood  pulp  used  in 
paper  fabrication. 
Bssential  oils  of  great  variety  were  exhibited  by  Fritsche  Bros.,  the  agents  of 
Schimmel  &  Co.,  of  Germany. 
Japan  Camphor  Company,  a  company  which  was  conducted  by  Americans 
in  Japan  for  the  production  of  camphor  upon  American  methods,  was  repre- 
sented. 
A  large  and  interesting  display  of  the  various  gums  and  resins  used  by  varnish 
manufacturers,  was  also  to  be  seen  in  the  Manufactures  Building. 
A  paper  upon  the  revision  of  the  Pharmacopoeia,  by  Mr.  Jos.  W.  England, 
was  read,  and  led  to  considerable  discussion,  which  was  on  motion  deferred  to 
next  month's  meeting. 
On  motion  adjourned.  T.  S.  Wiegand,  Secretary.
