At a late meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in Buffalo, New York, nearly every section offered among its scientific papers some contribution from a woman. In the section of Anthropology, the paper that excited most interest was that of Mrs. Nuttall Pinart on Mexican inscriptions, which is described as completely revolutionizing the method by which these important historical memorials have hitherto been interpreted. Dr. Brinton, who is on the whole the highest authority on this class of subjects, said that this paper was of epoch-making importance, and that its conclusions would probably be sustained.

colleges is in what may be called the art of intellectual bread-making — the production of permanent literature. It must be readily admitted that the contributions of American women to the poetry and fiction of the day are abundant and creditable. But it must be remembered that journalism itself is hardly more ephemeral than all poetry or fiction short of the highest; and our rapid American life has already created and forgotten several generations of such short-lived celebrities. In Griswold's laborious Female poets of America, published some forty years ago, there is hardly a name that is now remembered; and Poe and Willis in those days used to place a crown of the most perishable materials on the head of every woman who flattered them or whom they wished to flatter. Apart from their tributes, a place on Parnassus was supposed to be securely held by the Davidson sisters, for instance, two half-developed girls, who earned by their pathetic early deaths what really passed for f

Abbott on the composition of a bark from Honduras that presents new and curious ingredients, of peculiar value to dyers. She also read a paper on the relation of the chemical constituents of plants to their forms and evolution, advancing the view that chemical considerations may yet have weight as a basis for botanical classification. In the section of Economic Science, Mrs. John Lucas, of New Jersey, entered a paper upon Silk Culture, but was not apparently present to read it. In the section of Mathematics and Astronomy, Miss Anna Winlock, of the Harvard Observatory, was associated by name with Prof. Rogers, of that institution, in presenting a paper on The limitations in the use of Taylor's theorem for the computation of the precessions of close polar stars. All this is very unlike anything that could have been reported twenty-five years ago; and though it is possible that no one

It must be remembered also that the new American Historical Association has many women as members, and has issued among its first publications an elaborate paper by one of these-Miss Lucy M. Salmon, of Michigan University--on the history of the appointing power in our government. In the reports of the Peabody Museum of American Archaeology, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, an important place is always assigned to the researches of Miss Alice C. Fletcher and Miss Cornelia Studley.
