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.

AG.AMT THE TWP SCHOOL MEASURE Ontario Rural Trustees Voice Strong Opposition — Refused Hearing to Those Who Favored Bill. Toronto, April 12 ---For another year Premier Ferguson's township school board bill has been placed In the discard by the rural trustees of the -province of Ontario, and again the opposition to the plan has pro- vided one of the noisiest features of the meeting of this section of the Ontario Educational association. It 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- dated resoultion embodying the pro- tests of several counties and school. sections passed unanimously. Later in the day, when this was i brought before the truster-, and P ratepayers' ers' de artment the action of 1 p the rural trustees was endorsed by an unanimous vote of those pi'eeent. Thirteen resolutions had been placed on the order paper of the ...on -1 vcntion by those opposed to the hill; together with a list of seven eountie, who had voiced their opposition.

In the meantime the resolution demand- er' that the Minister of Education tale no further action. It was the signal for an outburst of disorder which last for nearly half an hour. An amendment was offered asking that the convention torte a vote on the principal of town- ship school boards, wh th was fol- lowed by a sub -amendment demand- ' • ing an immediate debate on the sub- ject.
