To a Star reporter he stated that proceedings may he instituted ugninst the railroad company in any of several different ways. He could not say which course would-be foliowed until he bad carefully examined all the papers. Ac- tion in the matter, however, will be taken within a few days, so stated Mr. Taggart. EMINENT IN SCIENCE Distinguished Gathering at the Amer- ican Chemical Society Meeting. WELCOMED BY PRESIDENT WHITMAN President Dudley to Be Succeeded by Prof. Charles Munroe. INTERESTING ASSEMBLAGE aS Men who delve into the mysteries of the world and ascertain the component ele- ments of everything that enters into visible substance, gathered in numbers in the lec- ture hall of the Columbian University this Morning in attendance upon the sixteenth annual meeting of the American Chemical Society. Among them were authorities of international reputation in the world of intricate research, and they were assem- President C. B. Dudley. bled to’exchange views and to add to the seneral fund of valuable information and to explain the result of the latest investiga- tions in their chosen studies. President Whitman of the Columbian University welcomed the visitors in a schol- arly address, in which he dwelt upon the importance of their work and the vast benefits accruing from it to science and to humanity. President Charles B. Dudley of Altoona, Pa., the head of the society, re- i in fitting terms. The morning session was devoted to the reading of papera tech- nical to the average auditor but full of in- terest to the members. The first was one upon “Some New Rutheno-Cyanides and the Double Ferro-Cyanide of Barmin and Potassium.” prepared by J. L. Howe and apbell. ‘The paper was read by and at its conclusion cussed by a number of members. pers read and discussed curing the morning were as follows: “'D Test for Yellow Azo-Dye in Fats, Butter, ete.,” by Joseph The Atomic Weight of Zirco- P. Venable, and “The I Other pa- Ae . C. Phillips. Business nnd Pleasure. The program for the meeting includes a very pleasant admixture of business and pleasure. During the early hours this and tomorrow afterncon the visiting members will be taken to various points of interest, including all the government institutions and the universities. These visits will be urder the direction of the following local members of the society: H. W. Wiley, A. W. Dow, T. M. Chatard, Dr. Mew, Dr White, Dr. Seaman, Prof. Clarke, Mr. Cut ter, Dr. Bolton, Prof. Clarke, Mr. Ewell, Dr. Hillebrand, Dr. Whitehead, Prof. Mun- roe, Mr. Tassin, Dr. Griffith, Dr. Westes- son, Dr. Crampton, Mr. Krug, Dr. De Schweinitz, Mr. Cutter, Dr. Stokes, Prof. Munroe, the Rev.

The session tonight will be devoted to the reports of officers and committees and an address by President Dudley on “The Dignity of Analytical Work.” Prof. Munroe for President. The announcement of the officers for the ensuing year will also be made tonigit. The election is carried on by correspond- ence previous to each annual meeting, and when the choice is canvassed the names of those selected are announced. It is known that Prof. Charles E. Munroe, professor of chemistry at the Columbian University, has been chosen president. The morning session tomorrow will con- clude the reading of papers and their dis cussion and the transaction of general business. The afternoon will be devoted to visiting places of interest, and at nigit a banquet will be given to the visiting chemists at Rauscher's. Friday morning there will be an excur- sion to Mount Vernon, and at 1:30 v.m. the chemists will be entertained at Fort Myer. A cossack drill by the cavalry has been especially arranged by the War De- partment out of compliment to the society. The Cosmos Club has extended its hospl- tality and its rooms to the society during the meeting. The arrangements for the reception of the visitors at Columbian University and for giving them all necessary information are perfect.

Y., July 14, 1842; fitted for college at Oxford Academy; entered Yale in the academtical department September, 1867, and graduated as A*B. in the summer of 1871. In the fall of 1872, he entered the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale College, from which he graduated in the summer of 1874 with the degree of Ph. D. The next year was spent as assistant to the professor of physics at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadel- phia, and on the llth of November, 1875, he went @o Altoona as chemist of the Penn- sylvania Railroad Company, whith position he has occupied since that date. Revolationized Steel Constructi: Among scientists, Dr. Dudley is recog- nized as one of the best authorities on the testing of iron and steel. His investiga- tions in that line some fourteen years ago completely revolutionized certain ideas MN N which were then held, and established the fact that milder and purer forms of stcel were better adapted to the construction of rails for railways than the harder steels and than those possessing greater tensile strength. These facts were wrought out in 4 paper embodying the resulis of his in- vestigations read before the American In- stitute of Mining Engineers, in 18N%. So profound an impression was made at that meeting, that the discussion of the sub- ject’ was postponed until the members could be prepared to take it up thorough- ly, and the whole of the next meeting was devoted to papers and discussions on the ideas a aneed by Dr. Dudley. It has been said that this paper and the discussions which followed it have done more to build up the American Institute of Mining En- gineers than any one subject or line of thought that had ever been brought before the organization. Dr. Dudley’s position was vigorously attacked by some of the most prominent members of the institute, but two years later his views were general- ly acéepted, and from that time he has been recognized as an authority on the analysis and tests of iron and steel. An Able Address. President Dudlcy's address at the annual meeting, one year ago, in Troy, N. ¥., was upon “Some Present Possibilities in the Analysis of Iron and Steel.” It evinced a depth and clearness of penetration, com- prehensiveness of view, and mastery of principles and details which are to be fcund only in a person of high intellectual endowments, broad information and rare expert attainments in the line of applied science. It was listened to with most pro- found interest, and was regarded as one of the ablest addresses ever given before the society. Dr. Dudley 1s now closing his second term as president. He was again nominated to the position, but believing that a change of administration would be for the best inter: ests of the society, he declined the nomina. tion, withdrawing in favor of Dr. Charles E. Munroe, dean of the Corcoran Scientific School of Columbian University. President Dudley's administration has been signalized by the final adoption of a revised constitution for the soclety, work upon which was begun a few years ago; by an enlargement of the scope of the Journal; by an efficient management of the finances of the’ society, and by a large increase in its membership. Only American Honorary Member. Oliver Wolcott Gibbs of Newport, R. I., is the only American who has ever been elected an honorary member of the Ameri- can Chemical Society. His father, George Gibbs, a celebrated mineralogist in his day, made the most extensive and valuable col- lection of mineralsithat had ever been brought together in*this country. Through the influence of Pr@f, Silliman this collec- tion was secured for the cabinet of Yale College. Dr. Oliver Wolcott Gibbs was born in New York in 1822, and was edu- cated at the Cabumbian College in that city, from which he was graduated in 1844. After a few months spent in the laboratory of Dr. Hare of Phila- delphia he returnet! tg New York, and in 1845 graduated from the college of phy- siclans and surgeons. He then went abroad and continued his gcientific studies under such men as Rammejsberg, Heinrich, Rose, Ljebig and Regnault. Returning to this country in 1848 Dr¥ Gibbs gave a short course of lectures at{thé Delaware College, Newark, Del., and then accepted the chair of physics and chemistry in the college of the city of New Yark, -which ‘position he filled from 1849 to 1863, when he was elected to the Rumford professorship in Harvard University, and had charge of the labora- tories of the Lawrence Scientific School. In this position he has been the instructor of many of the foremost- chemists of this country, all of whom havé’ become his warm personal friends. Dr, Gibbs is an honorary member of; the German, London and American Chemical societies; he was one of the original members of the Na- tional Academy of Sciencies and for some time was vice president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, but on account of poor health was unable to be present at the meeting in De- troit in August. Dr. Gibbs has published very elaborate memoirs on the platinum SENATOR LODGE brought out for the first time. is now to be published in Scribner's Magazine throughout 1898.

John William Mallet, was born in Dub- lin, Ireland, October 10, 1832. He was grad- uated from Trinity College and afterward received the degree of doctor of philosophy at the University of Goettinger for his re- scarches on the tellurium ethers. From 1854 to 1856 he was assistant professor of chemistry at Amherst. From this insti- tution he went to the chair of chemistry at the University of Alabama, and was also associatei in the chemical werk of the geodetic survey of that state. He was professor of chemistry in the med- al department of the University of Louis- 1865, and 1867 he accepted the professorship of chémistry in the Univers- ity of Virginia. In 1883 he was professor of chemistry in the University of Texas, and the next year occupied the same po- sition in the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia. In 1885 he returned for his former position at the University of Vir- ginia, where he has remained until the present time. Prof. Mallet has made val- uable researches on the atomic weights of aluminum and lithium, and has originated many improved methods of chemical analy- sis. In the domain of applied chemistry he s \ds_ among the foremost men in this country. In 1880 he was elected fellow of the Royal Society of London, and in 188: president of the American Chemical Soc: ety. For many-years past he has been councilor of the latter body.
