Several old members whovwere in town on a visit were present, and many ladies showed their interest in the Society by their presence. Mr. Baikie nished his lecture on a Trip to New Zealand, and acquitted himself well. The lecturer gave a most interesting des- cription of Tasmania, the Mauritius, the Seychelles and Aden, presenting life like picturcs of natural scenery, dress .and the customs and habits of the inhabitants. Port Said, Candia, Marseilles, Paris, Versailles and the great world oi London were present- ed to the audience with such a richness of, phraseology that one could almost fancy he was an -actual spectator of the scsnes and persons described, The description of the Catacombs in the city of Paris was particular- 'ly instructive. Thosevast chambers of the dead embrace about ve acres of subterranian space, and it is estimated that the bones of at least six :1 illion human-beings are piled up :here, the skulls occupying one department, the long bones another, and the irregular ones a third, put up in a style so artistic, that one almost forgets his own mortality in contemplating these relicsfof the inhabitants of past ages. There are regular streets be- tween the piled bones. and the lecturer says the atmosphere of this underground city of the dead is as sweet as on the out side. \I, 11 ,, , ,, , _.__'lL_ _..2L_'_!__J Opposite ma.
