April 22 — THE INCORPORATION
OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY
2611 On the 22nd of April,
YEARS 1662 the Royal. Society
AGO of London, the oldest
scientific association in Great Bri-
tain, and one of the oldest in Eur-
ope, was granted its Charter of In-
corporation by Bing Charles If,
The origin of the Royal Society
can be traced hack to the informal
meetings which had been held for
several years past, both in London
and in Oxford, by small groups of
:nen, who were keenly interested in
experimental philosophy, and who
mot periodically in each other's j
homes, or at some. tavern, to discuss
scientific matters. These informal
meeting, had been held in London as
far buck at 1645, and the Oxford
group came into existence about
three years later. The two groups
always ket in close touch with each
other's activities, and in course of
time, when a large number of the
Oxford men settled in London. the
r'.cientific enthusiasts commenced to
attend the lectures at Gresham Co] -
lege, where they rented 0 suite of
rooms for their own meetings.
The group originally called itself
s Philosophical Assembly, but in the
month of October 1661, when king
Charles I11 was enrolled as a member
John Evelyn, the diarist, referred to
the body as The Royal Society. a
name it has ever since retained. The
Charter of H)corporation, w;tich was
granted by the Kinte in April 1662,
end confirmed by the affixing of the
Great Se;il tliree menthe later, gave
the ns-oidation the title of "The Pre-
sident, Council and Fellows of the
Loyal Society of London for Improv
nig Natural Knowledge.
The first charter was speedily fol-
lowed by :Aimee, which extended the
aims and influence of the Society,
tu,d for several year's it was the nn -
le depository of scienee in Great
Britain. During the whole of its ex-
istence it has zealously and gener-
ously supported scientific research
investigation and discovery, and num-
erous valuable additions to the store
of human knowledge have been se-
cured by its instruments, its in-
fluence and its money.
The Royal Society has constantly
assisted the British Government with
its advice in connection with scienti-
fic enterprises of national impo=rtance
and the inumerable undertakings in
which its co-operation has been given
include the equipment of many
scientific and exploring expeditions,
notably those commanded by Capt.
"Cook and Sir James Franklin, the
management of Greenwich Observa-
tory, the change of the calendar in •
1762, the ventilation of prisons, the
prevention of corrosion on the cop-
per sheathing of ships by sea -water,
the protection of buildings and
ships from lightning, the establish-
ment of tidal observation, the re-
organization of the Meteorological
Depaartment, the prevention • of ac-
cidents in mines and the enquiry in-
to the most suitable illuminant for
lighthouses. ,
During the past century and a
half many other scientific societies,
such as the Royal Geographical, the
Linnean, the Chemical, the Entama-
logical, the ltoyul Astronomical and
the Geological, have come into exis-
tence, but the Royal Society still re-
-thins the foremost place in the scien-
tific world, not only from the large
number of eminent men to be found
taming its fellowship, but from the
close association with the Govern-
ment.
The official records of the Society
known as "The Philosophical Trans-
actions", which have been published
every month since 1664 and now
consist of over 200 hundred bound
volumes, present a complete survey
of the progress of scientific knowled-
ge during the past two hundred and
s.xty years. Election as a Fellow of
the Royal Society is the highest hon-
our attainable in the British scienti-'
fie world, while the office of Presi-
dent has always been filled by the
most illustrious of our scientists, in-
cluding ---Sir Isaac Newton, who was
I'reside;nt for the last twenty-four
years of his life, Sir Joseph Banks,
Sir Humphrey Davy, Lord Lister and
Lord kelvin.

C( ANG S
j GRAIN ACT
HON. JAS. MALCOLM ANNOUN-
CES FAR-REACHING AMEND-
MENTS TO THE CANADA
GRAIN ACT.
What appears to be far-reaching
amendments to the Canada Grain
Act in respect of the grades on white
wheat, oats and barley, were an-
nounced by kion. Janes Malcolm,
Minister of Trade and Commerce. A
bill containing the amendments will
be introduced at the present session
of Parliament.
It is explained that the new grades
on white wheat are made necessary
by a largo quantity of wheat of new
varieties being produced. Hitherto
this wheat has been labelled "No es-
tablished grade."
Oats and Barley.
In regards to the oats it is ex-
plained: "a large acreage is sown In
the western provinces with varieties
of yellow onts. These varieties are
yellow in color and for tats reason
are excluded from the grades of No.
1 and No. 2 Canadian Western Oats.
For a time one of these varieties,
Golden Rain, was graded as No. 2
Canada Western white oats, but on
aciount of complaints from millers
this was discontinued. For this rea-
son new grades for these varieties
are now being set up."
In regard to the changes in barley
grade:=, it is explained: --The present
definitions for Canada Western bar-
ley are obsolete, in that they make
no provision for classifying accord-
ing to variety."
A large number of varieties of
bailey are being introduced. A num-
bre of these are two rowed, but the
greater number are six rowed. The
two and six rowed varieties are
good malting barleys when the iden-
tity of each is preserves, but when
the two are mixed, or when either or
both varieties are mixed with the
non-enalting varieties, the combina-
tion is useless as a matting barley
and can be sold only as feeding bar-
ley.
Variety Classification.
This is just what has been and is
taking place under the present regu-
lations. Classifications according to
variety are essential before the indi-
vidual producers can receive fair
prices for their products.: Under the
variety classification the producer
.who ships barley of better varieties
and free enough from roreign mat-
ter will receive the benefit of the
better varieties, while the producer
who ships' barley of mixed variety or
of feeding variety will have to be
content with the lower grade and
consequently a lower price, This
will tend to the production of the
better varieties and cleaner barley.

had eleven supporters out of nearly
two thousand trustees assembled.
Their support, however, was strong
and they might have had convincing
arguments to put forward had they
been allowed a hearing, but they
were allowed none, and a consoli-
