fellow-pharmacists  would  be  able  to  draw  the  full  amount — at  least 
$150  or  $200  for  each  person — out  of  their  business  at  one  time, 
but  with  the  aid  of  proper  financiering  this  sum  can  be  saved 
gradually.  Suppose  the  trip  will  take  place  in  two  years,  arrange- 
ments of  regular  monthly  contributions  can  be  made,  which  the  con- 
tributor may  withdraw  at  any  time,  if  he  will  not  join  in  the  enter- 
prise. Monthly  payments  of  $5.00  would  accumulate  to  more  than 
half  the  required  sum,  and  $10.00  monthly  be  more  than  sufficient 
to  defray  all  expenses.  Everybody  knows  that  it  is  much  easier  to 
save  $10.00  a  month  than  to  draw  $200  at  one  time. 
The  trip  itself  would  serve  a  double  purpose ;  first,  pleasure 
and  recreation,  and  second,  instruction  and  information,  and  each 
participant  can  follow  his  own  inclination  in  this  respect.  The 
most  beautiful  parts  of  England,  France  and  Germany — wherever 
the  trip  is  planned — will  be  selected,  and  each  one  given  full  occasion 
to  behold  and  admire  whatever  is  worth  seeing.  Side-trips  to  points 
of  interest  to  this  one  or  that  one  will  also  be  arranged.  It  may  be 
supposed  that  the  chemists,  pharmaciens  and  Apotheker  of  the 
respective  countries  will  contribute  their  share  to  the  enterprise 
of  the  guests,  so  that  the  object  of  recreation  will  fully  be  reached. 
At  the  same  time,  in  planning  the  trip,  due  regard  will  be  paid 
to  information  and  instruction.  Cities  with  world  renowned  chemi- 
cal factories,  like  Elberfeld,  Darmstadt,  Hoechst,  Leipzig,  and  others 
will  be  visited,  in  order  to  give  the  travellers  an  insight  into  the 
magnitude  of  the  European  chemical  industry.  Also  universities  and 
schools  of  technology  that  possess  chairs  of  learning  or  laboratories 
of  particular  interest  to  pharmacists  will  not  be  omitted  and  these 
visits  will  be  of  particular  interest  to  our  teachers  and  professors. 
At  the  return  each  traveller  will  have  the  privilege  of  staying 
longer  with  friends  and  relatives  in  Europe  or  to  extend  the  trip 
to  other  countries.  We  believe  that  among  the  45,000  pharmacists 
of  the  United  States  a  sufficient  number  can  be  found,  whose 
"  Wanderlust "  will  make  them  join  such  an  enterprise  and  we 
wish  the  appointed  committee  the  best  success. 
NEW  SOURCES  OF  TURPENTINE 
Turpentine  from  western  yellow  pine,  says  the  Department  of 
Agriculture,  can  be  put  to  the  same  uses  as  that  from  the  longfeaf 
pine  of  the  southeast,  which  furnishes  the  bulk  of  the  turpentine  of 
commerce.    Western  yellow  pine  forms  enormous  forests  in  the
