THE FLORA OF SCOTT AND MUSCATINE COUNTIES.
BY VV. I). BARNES, MORGAN PARK, ILLINOIS.
WA. \. A. MILLER, DAVENPORT, IOWA.
This enumeration of plants is compiled from a herbarium collected during ten years of field work ending with the year 1889.
As the woods of Scott county have nearly all been pastured, plants of a retiring disposition are fast disappearing, though occasionally found in Princeton township, Allen's Grove, Hickory Grove, and along the Wapsipinicon.
The change is not so noticeable in Muscatine count)-. The (lora of Wild Cat Den is of special interest as it includes many rare species, some of which have not been reported from any other part of the state. As ponds are numerous near Muscatine and along the Cedar, aquatic plants are more abundant in this county than in Scott.
In both the native prairie plants and many introduced species are found along railroad tracks.
The authors wish to make grateful acknowledgments of the valuable assistance freely given by Prof. L. H. Bailey of Cornell, who deter- mined the Carices; Prof. L. H. Pammel of Iowa Agricultural College, who determined the Grasses; Prof. E. J. Hill of Chicago, who deter- mined troublesome Asters and furnished descriptions of his new oak and thistle ; and also of the timely helps given in various ways by Professors McBride and Shimek of the State University of Iowa, C. R. Ball of Iowa Agricultural College, R. I. Cratty of Armstrong, Iowa, Agnes Chase of Chicago, Dr. Radenhausen of the Davenport High School, Supt. F. M. Witter of Muscatine, and other co-workers.
The nomenclature of the Sixth Edition of Gray's Manual has been followed throughout, except in the genus Carex, in which the names enven by Prof lave been retained.

Cnicus Hillii, Canby. (iarden and Forest 4:101, 1891.
Observations made since the publication of this species in 1891, and accurate drawings, furnish material for a more complete descrip- tion and understanding of this thistle, which well maintains its claim to specific rank.
Plant perennial, 1 — 2 feet high, leafy, simple or branched, villous pubescent or somewhat woolly. Root 8 — 15 inches long, simple or fasicled (1 — 4), generally perpendicular, the parts fusiform or the mid- dle portion more or less enlarged and hollow or coarsely cellular, slender above. Leaves sinuate lobed to pinnatifid, or the lower undu- late, the lobes rather broad and rounded, green both sides, acute or the lower obtuse, dentate, spinulose or with a few short prickles; the upper oblong to oblong-lanceolate, sessile and clasping; the lower oblanceolate to spatulate-oblong, narrowed at the base, or the lowest petioled and 6 — 8 inches long. Vernal and autumnal leaves rosulate, oblanceolate-oblong, entire or slightly undulate, with short and weak marginal prickles, or sometimes with stouter yellowish prickles. Heads 1 — 3 (1 — 5), frequently single, 2 — 3 inches broad, 2 — 2)^ inches high. Outer involucral bracts ovate-lanceolate, tipped with a short bristle or prickle, with a dark and prominent glutinous line along the back, inner, narrowly lanceolate, long acuminate. Flowers purple, pappus slender pointed or sometimes slightly spatulate.
Fields and open woods. June 20 — Aug. 1.
The main distinctions between this and the pasture thistle [Cnicus pumilus, Torr.), its nearest ally, and with which it was at first con- founded, are the duration and form of the root, that of the pasture thistle being biennial and branched, while in this it is perennial, sim- ple, with a few rootlets, mainly on the lower half; its less spinescent and less deeply lobed or divided leaves; the bracts of the involucre more glutinous; their weaker tips which are scarcely prickly except in the lowermost; the longer and more slender pappus; the earlier flowering season, the first half of summer, while that of C. pumilus is the latter half. The leaves of the pasture thistle cover the stem well up to the head to which they may form a kind of involucre, while those of C. Hillii are few and small near the head, or the stem may

282 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
be bare for an inch or two. The form of the root is a very safe means of identification at any season when it can be found. If more than one they are similar in shape and all spring from the base of the stem. Its habits are like those of the pasture thistle, growing in fields and meadows, and it seems to take the place of that species in the central and western states, and may fitly be termed the western pasture thistle.
E. J. Hill.
Quercus ellipsoidalis, E. J. Hill. Botanical Gazette 27:205, 1899.
Trees 30 — 60 feet high, 1 — 3 feet in diameter, the head oblong, spray repeatedly and finely dividing, the limbs usually coming low down on the trunk, the lower drooping. The bark is close, quite smooth, y2 — 1% in. thick, divided by shallow fissures into narrow, thin, flat plates, 2 — 6 in. long. It is dark near the base, dull gray above, grayish brown and quite smooth among the branches, dull red within, with a thin band of yellow next the wood. The winter buds are small, yk — ^ in. long, ovate, obtuse or acutish, with a rusty or grayish pubescence. The leaves are broadly oval to oval-orbicular or somewhat obovate orbicular in outline, 2^ — 6 in. long, lyi — 5 or more wide, lustrous green and smooth above, lighter green and smooth beneath or with slight tufts of pale hairs in the axils of the principal veins, and are deeply cut into 5 — 7 lobes by broad and rounded sinuses which extend half way or more to the midrib. The base is bluntly cuneate or truncate, petioles rather slender, 1 — 2 in. long, generally tinged with red on the upper side. In autumn the leaves are yellowish to pale brown, often blotched or tinged with purple or sometimes of a vinous or crimson purple. They are quite persistent on the trees in winter. The aments are long and slender, loosely flowered pubescent. Calyx campanulate, variously cut into 2 — 5 seg- ments which are fringed with long hairs. Stamens 4 or 5 ; filaments shorter than the anthers. Pistillate flowers on stout tomentose 1 — 3 flowered peduncles, the calyx variously divided into 5 — 7 parts, the margin laciniate-hairy. Styles 3, thick and flattened, spreading or recurved. Acorns single or in pairs, the cup turbinate or cup-shaped, thin, or in some thickened and rounded near the margin, covering 1/3 — 1/2 the nut. The cup scales are brownish, more or less puberu- lent, closely appressed, occasionally loosening a little near the rim on

drying. Nut chestnut brown, often striped with darker lines, y2 — ^ in. long, ellipsoidal to oval- cylindrical, or when short and broad oval- globular, the base and apex mostly rounded about equally. The kernel is pale yellow and bittter.
Q. ellipsoidalis more closely resembles Q. palustris in general appear- ance than any other of the biennial-fruited oaks. This is seen in the comparative smoothness of the bark, the depression of the lower limbs, which descend low down on the trunk except when much crowded in dense woods ; and in the finely divided leaves and general character of the branching. But it differs in the form of the leaf-lobes, in the color of the bark, and especially in the form and size of the nut and acorn-cup. The lower branches, though long persistent, die and fall off like those of the pin oak, but do not leave the stubs so character- istic of that species. It resembles Q. coccinea in the form of some of its acorns, in the lobation of the leaves and reddish color of the inner bark, but the outer bark is darker and generally much smoother than on trunks of the scarlet oak uf similar age and size, and the leaves do not turn scarlet in autumn. Q. velutina is suggested by the darker color of the bark near the base of the trunk, the band of yellow next to the wood, the dull color of the autumn leaves, the hairs in the axils of the veins beneath, though this is a feature of Q. palustris and is frequent in Q. coccinea; but the bark is not rough and black, a character that appears very early on boles of the black oak; the yellow of the inner bark is usually much less in amount, the acorns differ in shape, and especially in the loosened or squarrose densely puberulent scales of the cup. ^ t uill

SYNOPSIS OF PROCEEDINGS
OF THE
DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
1899—1900.
January 18, 1899 — Adjourned Annual Meeting.
President Edward S. Hammatt in the chair. The minutes of the Annual Meeting, January 5, 1898, were read and approved and the annual reports of the various officers were presented.
The annual report of the Recording Secretary, E. M. White, showed that during 1898 there were ten regular monthly meetings of the Academy and three meetings of the Board of Trustees. Five honorary, two life and six regular members were elected, while one life and two regular members died.
The Librarian, C. E. Harrison, reported 2,099 accessions to the library. In addition to the books obtained by exchange the library was enriched by forty volumes on geology and palaeontology, all new to the library and of great value for scientific work, from the library of Prof. W. H. Barris, presented by Miss Elizabeth D. Putnam ; sixty- one volumes, some of them rare, from Dr. S. C. Bowman of Anda- lusia, 111.; and sixty-seven volumes from a private scientific library in Davenport which will eventually come to the Academy. The entomological library of J. Duncan Putnam, numbering 270 volumes, was catalogued by Miss Alice Beach and the entire library overhauled, cleaned and arranged preparatory to cataloguing and binding. At- tention was called to the necessity of completing this work in order that the library may be made of greater service.
The Treasurer, Mrs. Mary L. D. Putnam, reported that on account of the unusual expenses for fitting up and rearranging the library, purchasing new cases and cleaning and rearranging the museum, it had been necessary to borrow $342.52. During the year one-half of

the $5,000 necessary to purchase the Presbyterian church property adjoining the Academy was subscribed, but efforts in that line were temporarily suspended on account of the Spanish war. The report laid emphasis on the demand for an increased endowment fund. Below is given a synopsis of accounts for 1898 :

Edward S. Hammatt, January 18, 1899.
Members of the Academy, Ladies and Gentlemen .
Can we look back on the year just closed with satisfaction at the progress we have made in the development of the fundamental ideas of this society as expressed in its title, "Academy of Natural Sciences?" What have we done to increase man's knowledge of nature or love for nature study ? We may embrace these questions in one and answer them in an account of the Academy work during the past year. The statistical reports of the Publication and Finance Committees show that the first part of Volume VIE of the Academy Proceedings is nearly ready for distribution. Material is available and in the hands of the printer for beginning the second part. The Finance Committee's report indicates the necessity of establishing endowment funds for the various branches of the Academy work. The Curator

reports that over twenty donations, embracing a large number of specimens, have been added to our Museum collection, making it im- perative that arrangements should soon be made for future additions to the Museum space.
Attention must again be called to our list of Corresponding Mem- bers. This list should be revised as soon as possible and corrected lists of Honorary, Life, Corresponding and Regular Members kept posted in the Curator's office. Corresponding Members should be required to notify the Academy of their location once a year.
We find from the Librarian's report that the Library has received some 2,099 accessions in foreign and American exchanges. A Library fund is necessary before we can bind and catalogue the Library or make its treasures available for public use. The floor space in the Library heretofore used for lecture audiences has been given up to a number of cases containing most of our collection of Ornithology.
It is clear from these reports that the capacity of our building is near its limit. We are forced to seek other quarters for Academy lectures. Adjacent property, with a building which would serve for some time as a lecture hall and store room, is available by purchase. A special committee is making progress toward this end.
The steady growth and prosperity of this city demands that we keep the Academy equipment abreast of the times with facilities for active work. The Academy has in the past, and must in the future, keep well in advance of the situation. The annual reports just pre- sented give a fair statement of the Academy work during the past year. But they do not include a report on educational work, such as the name " Academy of Natural Sciences " would indicate as of pre- eminent importance. We have not advanced nor taken the lead we should in such matters. The spirit of a new century is already begin- ning to awaken us to better methods in every branch of human pro- gress. Science, and especially natural science, is the great motive power now working out a complete revolution in the aims and meth- ods of modern thought, both as regards mental and moral instruction. Scientific methods are now applied to every branch of study. The closing year of the nineteenth century finds Religion and Science, so far asunder at its beginning, closely united in the great struggle for the uplifting of humanity. And today we accept Science teaching as the most adequate method of imparting moral instruction by bringing the child face to face with the great truths of nature. It is with this end in view that those interested in the Academy have repeatedly urged a closer relation between the Academy and the public schools. It is a simple duty we owe this community, that from our Academy should go forth a powerful influence for building up of character by means of nature study.
In a previous annual report your attention was called to the import- ance of a uniform system of weights and measures for scientific as well as commercial purposes. Your indulgence may be asked in again

considering the question in view of the fact that this year may see the adoption by the United States government of the system now in almost universal usage. It seems strange that Great Britain and the United States, the two most enlightened of civilized nations, should be among the last to adopt measures which wiil not only put them in touch with the advance of science in other countries, but will effect a great economic reform in commercial transactions. A measure known as the Hurley Bill was introduced in the Fifty-fourth Congress and failed to pass by only three votes. It is now on the House cal- endar and is quite likely to become a law during the present session of Congress. This bill is entitled " A Bill to fix the standard of weights and measures by the adoption of the metric system of weights and measures" and provides "That from and after the first day of July, nineteen hundred, all the departments of the Government of the United States, in the transaction of all business requiring the use of weight and measurement, except in completing the survey of public lands, shall employ and use only the weights and measures of the metric system, and from said first day of July, nineteen hundred, the metric system of weights and measures shall be the legal standard of weights and measures recognized in the United States. " The adoption of this measure is opportune — just as we are entering upon a period of territorial expansion and opening up commercial relations with distant colonies which will use American products and serve as distributing stations for our exports to other countries. The metric bill now pending before Congress is of such great importance that it may be of interest to recall some of the facts leading to the adoption of the sys- tem by the United States and our own connection with the interna- tional metrological movement. It is a singular coincidence that while the United States Government, then in its infancy, was considering a plan of unification of weights and measures, France was investigating the same problem. In 1790 Talleyrand, in view of the great diversity of weights and measures then in use in France, proposed to members of the Constituent Assembly that "either the old system should be reformed or a new universal standard be adopted." It was decided to have the French Academy of Sciences fix upon an invariable stand- ard for weights and measures. Borda, Lagrange, Laplace, Minge, and Condorcet were chosen as a committee to report upon the selection of a standard. After considering the pendulum beating seconds, a quad- rant of the equator, and a meridian quadrant, they selected the ten- millioneth part of a quadrant of the meridian as a standard unit of linear measure. On August 1, 1793, the metric system was provis- ionally adopted by the National Assembly of France and on April 7, 1795, the nomenclature the system now bears was adopted. In the United States Washington, realizing the necessity of a uniform system, introduced the subject in his message to the First Congress, saying: " Uniformity in the currency, weights and measures of the United States is an object of great importance and will, I am persuaded, be
294 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
duly attened to." The subject was referred by the House of Repre- sentatives to Jefferson, then Secretary of State, for a report, which was made in July, 1790. When it became known that France was con- sidering the same question, the Senate committee to whom had been referred Jefferson's propositions decided that it was best not to intro- duce any alterations in the standards then in use. Washington, in his address to the Second Congress, again urged the need of action. The subject was next brought to public attention by Madison. This portion of the President's address was referred by the Senate to John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State, who submitted his plan February 22, 1821. He advised consultation with foreign nations for the future and ultimate establishment of universal and permanent uniformity. No further action was taken till 1828, whan an Act was passed legal- izing a Troy pound as standard for the use of the mint. It was not till July 27, 1866, that the metric system was legalized by act of Con- gress. The passage of this Act was largely due to Hon. J. A. Kasson of Iowa, chairman of the House committee on coinage, weights and measures, who strongly urged the adoption of the measure in Congress and before the Convocation of the University of New York. In 1873 a committee of the British Association for the Advancement of Sci- ence was appointed to "select a nomenclature for dynamical and electrical units," with the intention of making them international. The gramme, centimetre, and second of time were chosen and have been adopted by all scientific men. As the use of the metric system became more general, in order to insure the preservation of metro- logical prototypes certain nations, among them the United States, agreed by a treaty signed in 1875 t0 establish an International Bureau of Weights and Measures at Paris. The administration and mainten- ance of this Bureau is vested in an international committee appointed by the twenty-nine nations that have become parties to the treaty of 1875. The work so far accomplished by the Bureau has been to con- struct the standards, which have been distributed to the nations form- ing the Bureau. In addition to this a standard decimal thermometric scale and normal barometer have been constructed. The metric sys- tem is in use in the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey and it is to be hoped that our government, after having endorsed the metric system as the best for international usage that has been devised, and a system that has proved adequate for all purposes, will at least require its use in all government transactions. We should, as an Academy of Science, do all in our power to enlist the hearty cooperation of Con- gressional representatives from Iowa in enacting necessary legislation. Hon. Charles W. Stone, chairman of the Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures, says in his report to Congress, June 20, 1898: " Put the system in practical and uniform operation in the transac- tions of the government and the adoption by the people will take care of itself. Its merits will be brought home to them in a practical way and knowledge will inevitably bring approval. No compulsion of the

people is contemplated and none will be necessary. The system of the government of the people will speedily and easily become the sys- tem of the people."
It is with regret that we are called upon to record the loss of several members within the past year: Rt, Rev. William Stevens Perry, Second Bishop of Iowa, and Mr. A.J. Smith, both members of several years' standing; Mr. M. Frahm, a member and generous subscriber to the Academy work; Dr. S. C. Bowman of Andalusia, whose interest in the Academy is testified by many additions to the Museum ; Major George P. McClelland, one of our life members, who for many years and up to the time of his death took an active part in the Academy work, serving on many important committees and at various times as trustee and treasurer. We can ill afford to lose a member so much interested in the Academy and so well qualified to appreciate its value.
In closing this report, allow me to express my appreciation of the repeated honor conferred upon me, and to return thinks to the more active members, with whom it has been a pleasure to work.

296 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
The Committee on Resolutions reported the following, which was adopted and entered on the minutes :
The Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences takes this occasion to put upon record its profound sense of bereavement in the death of Major George Pressley McClelland. For a quarter of a century or more he has been one of its main supporters. He was among its most generous patrons. In 1883, with Hon. George H. French and Nicholas Kuhnen, he raised some $3,oco for the debt and endowment of this institution. He was a most faithful trustee and treasurer. He secured Prof. Richard A. Proctor and other lecturers for the Academy course and in countless ways labored for the advancement of science. We mourn the loss of a citizen whose char- acter was pure and lofty. We lament the departure of a friend whose gentle manners and courtly carriage won the love of all who knew him.

C. A. Ficke, First Vice-President, in the chair; seven members present.
The Curator reported the following additions to the Museum for two months :
From Dr. C. F. Kellogg, Clinton, Iowa, an unusually large, fine specimen of a celt, locality unknown. From the Cemetery Associa- tion of West Davenport, a collection of rocks of very variegated char- acter, found in an excavation on their grounds. Among them was a large, fiat, finegrained sandstone in which were imbedded a series of good-sized pebbles of quartz and Hint, mostly elongated, all rounded and deeply grooved. The peculiarities are, first, grooves in the same general direction ; second, no evidence of their extension into the matrix. These pebbles are distributed through the whole thickness of the rock. The specimens deserve careful study. From G. N. Black, a unique specimen of rock of which, as yet, we know little. It seems to be composed of very fine, worn grains of quartz. This is compacted into forms that have a general resemblance to one another and yet are compressed into every possible shape. But order prevails, as each form retains throughout its length from ten to twenty divisions separated by deep furrows and distinguished by a remarkable discolor- ation of iron. From Mrs. Putnam, from Yellowstone Park, specimens of obsidian granite; petrified and agatized wood; hardened mud from a geyser, with characteristic mass, cones and leaves; from Salt Lake, brown salt rock used in a building of same material with pure white crystallized lining for the inside finish, small natural and large artificial crystals ; from Leadville, crystals of lead, iron pyrites, and quartz. From Edward K. Putnam, well-preserved forms of the prevalent species of reptiles and insects from Shoshone, Idaho; an excellent impression of a fish from the Green Mountains ; a tinder box, also a wooden sand box which our paper blotters have displaced, from Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
E. Dwight Sanderson's paper on the "Studies of the Immature Stages of Some Chrysomelina " was read by title and referred to the Publication Committee, as was also Samuel H. Scudder's paper on " Synonymical Catalogue of Orthoptera of the United States and Canada."

The annual reports of Recording Secretary, Librarian, and Curator were read at this meeting.
The report of E. M. White, Recording Secretary, showed that dur- ing the year 1899 there had been nine regular meetings of the Acad- emy and two Trustees' meetings. During the year three Honorary, seven Regular, three Corresponding and nineteen Life Members were elected and one Life Member died.
C. E. Harrison, Librarian, reported that during the year there had been 1,587 additions to the Library. An event of unusual interest was the designation of the Academy as one of the permanent depos- itories, under the law of 1897, for all the maps issued by the United States Geological Survey. During the year the work of making a card catalogue was continued under the direction of Miss Alice Beach. Attention was called to the crowded condition of the Library and the need of more stack-room as well as space for reading tables.
The annual report of Dr. W. H. Barris, Curator, gave a summary of the various additions to the Museum during the year, a detailed enum- eration of which is given in the reports of the regular monthly meet- ings.
As Corresponding Secretary Dr. Barris reported that during the year 1899 there were 246 letters written and acknowledgments made and 153 letters received.

3°4 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
PRESIDENT'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
Mrs. Mary L. D. Putnam, April 27, 1900.
In accepting the presidency of the Academy for the second time, and after a lapse of twenty-one years, it would not be out of place for me to turn backward and review the noble record of devotion and achievement in the past. But my purpose is rather to look at the Academy as it exists today and to find wherein it can accomplish the most good.
An academy of science in a city like Davenport has many and varied functions to fulfill. One of these, the original object of this Academy, and perhaps its highest aim, is to be the center for active scientific work by those who devote their lives to science. In the thirty-three years of its existence the Academy has been such a center. It has reason to be proud of the scientific research and investigation done within its walls by such men as Professor Sheldon, Dr. Parry, Pro- fessor Pratt, Dr. Farquharson, J. Duncan Putnam, Dr. Barris, and many others. Let us be thankful for the pist and let us be courageous enough to hope that in the rising generation there may be bright young men and women with observing eyes, with clear minds, and with devotion to the pursuit of truth — young men and women who will here do scientific work worthy of the world-wide reputation given to the Academy by its early members.
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
This suggests that the Academy has a great opportunity before it in the line of education. It is not a teaching institution, but in other wajs it can assist in the development of young eyes and minds.
Cordial relations should exist between the Academy and the public schools, St. Katharine's Hall, Augustana College, St. Ambrose Col- lege, and all the other educational institutions of Davenport and its vicinity, including the district schools of Scott county. Every oppor- tunity should be offered for the students of these schools and colleges to come to the Acadamy, to become interested in the museum, to learn by observing. Members of the Academy can accomplish much good by being present on such occasions to explain the collections in which they are specially interested. Afternoon or evening talks, illustrated by actual specimens or by lantern slides, as the case may be, would arouse more interest in the students than whole rows of text books. So, too, the Academy might cooperate in planning excursions to-points of natural interest, where the students may see for themselves how valleys are made, learn to know a glacial deposit when they see it, and may appreciate animal and vegetable life in its natu-al conditions. How otherwise can the physical geography of the country about Dav- enport be taught, and what does physical geography amount to unless taken out of the books and applied to the region that is best known ? Excursions of this sort, for old as well as young, are regular features

in the programme of the Geographical Society of Washington and of the Appalachian Club of Boston.
A dozen or so years ago the Academy became the headquarters of the local chapters of the Agassiz Association. Here were held the weekly meetings at which observations were reported and papers read and discussed. Here, as a result of excursions to the haunts of nature, was begun an embryo museum, not perhaps valuable in itself but of the greatest value in teaching classification and arrangement. Here the would-be scientists — most of them students of the High School — gathered their younger brothers and sisters and friends and helped them organize a junior chapter, an extension movement which was of benefit to all concerned. In course of time the Agassiz chapters ceased to exist, but not until they had accomplished abundant good. Some of the members have maintained their personal interest in nat- ural history or science, but even those who have not, frequently testify that their dabbling in science was not all play ; that it had an educa- tional value not to be slighted. A similar organization among the students of today might well be encouraged.
VALUE OF THE MUSEUM.
It is hard to overestimate the educational value of a museum. One function of a museum is to bring together a scientific collection for the purpose of study by specialists, and to preserve those relics of a past race which would otherwise become scattered and lost. Thanks to its early devoted members, its indefatigable collectors and to its generous contributors, the Academy has a scientific museum that has attracted specialists not only from the east and west of our own coun- try, but also from distant Europe. Aside, however, from this strictly scientific value of the museum, there is a popular and educational one. The laboring man in Paris who spends an hour in the Louvre to warm his hands and feet certainly absorbs something from the art treasures spread out before him. Who can tell how much good our own museum has done to those who have drifted in merely to kill time, or because some friend has told them about it? Surely eyes have been opened and the breadth of vision broadened. How much more Egypt means to the boy who has seen the mummy ! How much more real are the mound-builders to us who know their animal pipes, their axes of copper covered with cloth ! How much nearer to us is the Eskimo when we look upon his kayak, his fire-making tools, and the fur-seal which he hunts ! As with primitive and distant man, so with nature. What can teach the ages and growth of the world so well as the rocks and fossils? And what undying interest there is in the cases of birds. The presence of such a museum in Davenport is a boon that we cannot too highly appreciate. To accomplish the greatest good, however, very much remains to be done. Owing to the lack of space in the building, boxes of specimens have never been opened. The purchase of the church property will afford some tem-

306 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
porary relief, but the time is not far distant when a new and absolutely fire-proof building, fully equipped with new cases adapted for the preservation and display of specimens, will be a necessity. In the meantime, however, much can be done. The cases need a thorough overhauling and in many instances the specimens need to be reclassified and rearranged, while many labels need to be rewritten. Crowded cases can be relieved by displaying typical specimens and preserving the others for special study. The boy or girl who comes to the Acad- emy to identify a bird he has seen in the yard should be able, as soon as he finds the corresponding specimen here, to learn its common and scientific name, its family and its habitat. The boy who reads in the life of Boone about a beaver should be able to come to the Academy and see a stuffed beaver.
It is interesting to watch the children in the South Kensington museum, in London, flock about a case placed there for their especial benefit, containing the commonest butterflies properly named. Inter- esting, too, it is to watch older students studying the cases in which types of the orders are scientifically arranged, and under them types of the families in each order, all clearly labeled, and forming a graphic and indelible lesson. Let us, in our humble way, follow the lead of that great London museum and encourage our young students to observe, to compare and to study.
THE HISTORICAL DEPARTMENT.
There is another department of the museum in which the Academy has made a beginning but in which more can be done. This may be called the historical. It is natural for man to be interested in histor- ical trophies, in a tattered flag carried through a war, in a sword cap- tured from the enemy. There is interest even in the weather-beaten wooden ball that topped the flagstaff of the old court house.
No less interesting are the objects connected with our every-day life, objects which we scorn to preserve, but which in a generation become rare and curious. How many of the children of to-day, for instance, ever saw a tinder box? When they read about a tinder box they may ask their grandmother and she may say that she saw one in her girlhood. But some day the grandmothers will be gone and with them the recollection of the tinder box. Fortunately, the Academy possesses a tinder box, but there are many other contrivances of the pioneer days that it does not possess. If any of these are hidden away in a dark and forgotten attic, let them be brought out and placed where they can be preserved.
THE ACADEMY LIBRARY.
From the museum to the library is but a short step. For scientific work, scientific books are a necessity. Technical books and journals are needed for the specialist, handbooks and more popular works are no less needed for the beginner. Thanks to the thousands of
SYNOPSIS 01 PROCEEDINGS. 307
exchanges brought in by its own Proceedings and by the gift of sev- eral collections of books by its members, the Academy library is well adapted to the needs of the special student. But there are scores of handbooks, manuals and more or less popular treatises which are not on our shelves and which should be secured either by gift or pur- chase. Then, too, to make it more accessible, the library needs to be catalogued, a large undertaking of which a beginning has already been made.
The Academy library should be enriched by thousands of historical documents, which, unless they are deposited in some such place, will eventually become destroyed. Old manuscripts, old letters, old maps, everything that throws light on the early life in Davenport, in the three cities, or in the West, should be collected and preserved, to be looked at by the curious and made use of by the historian.
The Academy library and the public library, which the city of Dav- enport is to have, thanks to the generosity of Andrew Carnegie, are very different in nature, the one specialized and technical, the other more general and popular. Each supplements the other. The Acad- emy may well congratulate itself on this new addition to the forces of culture in the city, for as the community becomes more enlightened through the reading of books from the public library it is bound to appreciate to a higher degree the opportunities of the Academy of Sciences. So far as possible the two institutions should cooperate.
TO POPULARIZE MEETINGS.
The regular monthly meetings of the Academy should be made of such interest that they will attract not only the members but outsiders. The meetings should be freed from petty business matters, which should be attended to by committees. Rather they should furnish an opportunity for the thinking people of the three cities to gather, to exchange thoughts in discussion, or to listen to papers or addresses on subjects of interest. A paper or address before a meeting of the Academy need not be the result of life-long research and investiga- tion. It need not bristle with scientific names, with technical terms, with unintelligible references. Such papers are to be read rather than listened to. What are wanted for the meetings of the Academy are papers that are somewhat more popular in nature, expositions in terms that all can understand of the discoveries made by scientists or on any subject to which the interest of the day is drawn. The Academy has had in recent years a number of such addresses. Returning travelers, for instance, have spoken of Egypt and Alaska. Similar talks, whether by travelers or not, should be given on the Philippines, or Hawaii, or South Africa. These are subjects not only of scientific but of popu- ular interest. Near at home extremely interesting talks could be given on the engineering problems involved in the Hennepin canal, the improvement of the Rock Island rapids, the Moline water power and its adaptability for furnishing electrical power, the cause and effect of
308 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
the Mississippi floods. The eclipse of the sun could be described so as to attract general interest. Hundreds would like to learn about X-rays and wireless telegraphy. Other subjects are those in which science comes in contact with agriculture. Would not the farmers of Scott and Rock Island counties appreciate talks on injurious insects, on birds that destroy and on others that protect crops by destroying insects ? These subjects are merely suggestive and show what an opportunity the Academy has to take part in the extension of knowl- edge. There is no reason why many of these papers could not be prepared by the Academy's own brainy and versatile members, and at times scientific men could be induced to come here from Iowa City, from Ames, from Chicago and elsewhere. Courses of popular lectures, of the sort suggested, are given regularly by the Geographical Society at Washington, and are free to members, outsiders being admitted on payment of a small fee. A like plan adopted by the Academy would, it is to be trusted, increase the membership list and make its meetings of interest and value.
READV TO COOPERATE.
The Academy of Sciences, with its age, record and high purpose behind it, should become the center of the various semi-scientific soci- eties of the city. Its rooms and hall should be thrown open to the medical societies, the agricultural society, the farmers' institute, the pioneers' association, the university extension, and all societies which in any way tend to the advancement and diffusion of knowledge. Should an art gallery ever be established in Davenport, as one certainly should be, it might well find a home in the new building which the Academy hopes to erect.
THE ACADEMY PUBLICATIONS.
The function of the Academy which tells most for its reputation abroad is naturally the publication of its proceedings. This work, supported now by an endowment which might be larger, goes quietly on. Volume after volume is being published, and there is no lack of material for publication. Only papers of the highest grade are accepted 'and many of these are written by scientists of world-wide reputation. Institutions older and richer than the Academy and located in cities ten times greater than Davenport, may well be envious of our Proceedings.
AN ENDOWMENT NEEDED.
Such are some of the functions of an institution like the Davenport Academy of Sciences. Some of them, such as that of publication, and the amassing of a great and valuable museum and library, it is filling bet- ter than could be expected. In others, more has been outlined, per- haps, than the Academy is at present able to undertake, but we need not be discouraged. Before we can accomplish all that we would like to do

we must have an endowment of from fifty to a hundred thousand dol- lars, and as much more for a commodious fire-proof building. In the meantime, however, we can do something ourselves, something more than merely waiting, and we can hope that in the near future the Academy may be blessed more generously with endowments, may have a new building adapted to its growing needs, and that it may become the center of renewed scientific life and activity.

C. H. Preston. C. A. Ficke. W. C. Putnam.
In behalf of the Trustees of Griswold College, the Right Reverend Theodore N. Morrison, Bishop of Iowa, formally presented to the Academy the scientific library and geological collection of Griswold College. In making the presentation he spoke of the impossibility of Griswold College continuing its existence and of the increased work that would be done at Saint Katharine's Hall. The desire of the Trustees of the College was that the library and valuable geological collection be kept together where they could be examined and studied by the largest number of people. All scientific work and all other books that the Academy desired are to become the property of the institution and the remainder are to go to the Davenport public library.
First Vice-President, C. A. Ficke, responded in behalf of the Academy in part as follows :
In the absence of Mrs. Putnam, President of our Association, who unfortunately is unable to be present to-night, it becomes my pleasant task, honored Bishop, in behalf of the Davenport Academy of Sciences, to accept the generous gift which the Trustees of Griswold College, through vou, so kindly tender. This gift, pleasing in itself because of its great value, is even more welcome as a proof of the fact that the good work of the Academy is appreciated by those who tender it. It is gratifying beyond measure that our Academy was deemed worthy of becoming the owner of a collection and a library which Bishop Lee, Professor Sheldon, Professor Barris and other enthusiastic scientists
312 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
and collectors have spent so many years in accumulating. To you, honored Bishop, and through you to the Trustees of Griswold College, I wish to extend the sincere thanks of the Davenport Academy of Sciences for this most generous and valuable gift.
On motion of C. E. Harrison, seconded by Dr. C. H. Preston, it was resolved that the Academy accept the gift, and that sincere thanks be extended to Bishop T. N. Morrison and the Trustees of Griswold College, and that the following report of a meeting of a committee ap- pointed by the Trustees of Griswold College bespread upon the minutes:
The committee appointed by the Trustees of Griswold College at a meeting held June 12/ 1900, to whom was referred the disposal of the library and other property — geological specimens, minerals, shells, etc., etc. — belonging to the Griswold College, with power to act, held a meeting at the Episcopal residence, Davenport, Iowa, on July 27, 1900. Present: the Bishop, the Rev. N. S. Stephens, and the Rev. C. H. Weaver, L.L.D.
The Rev. Dr. Weaver was appointed Secretary. The following motion was passed unanimously :
Resolved, That all such books as relate to science, and such other histor- ical books as the authorities of the Academy may think of value to the institution, together with all specimens relating to the several departments of geology, mineralogy and conchology be and they are hereby presented to the Davenport Academy of Sciences, together with the cases in which they are arranged, it being the conviction of the committee that this valu- able collection should be kept together and placed where it may be exam- ined and studied by the largest number of people.

From C. E. Harrison, a carefully prepared and mounted skeleton of a rattlesnake. From Elizabeth D. and W. C. Putnam, a large and valuable collection of Indian relics found in the grave of an Ottawa chief near Harbor Springs, Michigan. The collection contains, in part, the skeleton of a man, a number of copper kettles, and all the honorary decorations of a chieftain, the skull being encircled by a silver band, and further ornamented by a small silver turtle, which was the standard of the Ottawa chief, Little Turtle. This chieftain was the hero of the battle between the Ottawas and the Musquatas, which resulted in the extermination of the latter tribe. War imple- ments, such as stone axes, spear-heads, arrow-heads, iron scalping knives and tomahawks, and portions of flint-lock muskets; a number of large circular silver pieces used as money, and a great number of dress ornaments, brooches, ear-rings, bracelets, etc.; silver crosses with one, two and three bars, which were given the Indians by the Jesuits ; the finger bones of a hand still bearing the silver rings. The collection numbers several hundred specimens.
A committee was appointed to make arrangements for the opening of Science* Hall on December 14th, 1900.

On this evening, the thirty-third anniversary of the founding of the Academy, Science Hall was dedicated to the cause of science in the presence of an audience numbering about five hundred, including a large delegation from the High School. The Honorable C. A. Ficke, First Vice-President, presided. On the stage were seated the lecturer of the evening, Professor Frederick Starr of the University of Chi- cago ; President MacLean and Professor C. C. Nutting of the State University of Iowa, and several of the more active local members ot the Academy, including the President, Mrs. Mary L. D. Putnam.
The Reverend Dr. J. B. Donaldson, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, opened by prayer.
SYNOPSIS OP PROCEEDINGS. 315
In his introductory remarks, Mr. Ficke congratulated the Academy, the citizens of Davenport, and of the- State of Iowa as well, on the establishment of Science Hall.
President MacLean said he brought to the Academy and the citi- zens of Davenport congratulations, not only on behalf of the State University with its faculty of 130 and its 1,500 students, but also on behalf of all the public schools, academies and colleges of the state. The Davenport High School, he said, led all others in the state in sending students to the University and to other higher institutions of learning. He regarded the Academy of Sciences as a valuable addi- tion to the educational facilities of the city and state. Science, he said, was no longer looked upon as antagonistic to religion and poetry, but went hand in hand with all other educational and uplifting influ- ences. He closed with a reference to the achievements of woman and paid a tribute to Mrs. Putnam for what she has done for the Academy.
Professor Nutting, also of the State University, said, in substance :
I represent the scientific department of the State University and we are glad to meet our friends of science here. We feel it is due to the Academy that we should come here this evening. I have often wondered what the people of Davenport are to make of the Academy of Sciences. For some years I have been in charge of a museum and I have been interested in the way the public thinks of and values a museum. A man once came to me and asked, " Will the amusement be open to-day?" meaning the museum. 1 have often thought I would like to prepare a lecture on " The Public in a Museum," for the reason that this man's remark was significant, indicating the popular notion that a museum is a place where one may go to see things and thereby be amused. Among the objects for which museums are established, the least important is amusement. It should be the aim of the people to seek instruction in the highest sense of that word. A museum is a place for research, for study and for work. I hope the school children of this city will be led to consider this museum from that point of view, and that they will be induced to use freely the valuable collections that you have here. This Academy is unique in that nowhere in the West has such a museum been sustained for so long a time in a city the size of Davenport. I feel that you are to be congratulated on the past as well as on the present achievements.
The Professor closed with the following :
•j 1 6 DAVENPORT ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
THE STORY OF TWO WOMEN.
There was a woman on whose heart was pressed the heavy hand of Sorrow.
Her heart was bruised, her head was bowed, her life bereft of hope and light.
This woman was not strong, and so she sat her down and cried :
" Woe has come upon me, and my love lies dead, his work unfinished.
Xo more is heard his name upon the lips of men. With him is Hope entombed.
Henceforth my life shall be devoid of light, and o'er his grave I'll place
A broken shaft to show the incompleteness of his life cut short of full fru- ition."
And so it was. Her life was void. His name forgotten in the homes of men.
Again there was a woman on whose heart was pressed the heavy hand of
Sorrow. Her heart was sore, her head bowed low, her life bereft of light. But strong this woman was, and brave, and she stood up amid the stress Of this her dire calamity, and gazed undaunted on the face of Sorrow. " My love shall live ! " she said. " His work unfinished I take up. My life
I give To see his hope fulfilled. His name shall still be spoken in the courts Of Wisdom, and a monument I'll raise to show fruition of his cherished
hopes ! "
And so it was. And wise men came to bring her aid. And lo ! Her life
was full Of light, and blessed with fruitful works. No broken shaft raised she Above his tomb. Instead she reared a monument enduring as is Truth
eternal. And the wise men bring the tribute of their learning to this shrine. His name is honored still in Wisdom's court. His work complete. His
hope fulfilled, And Sorrow conquered, chastened, owns the sway of Love.
Professor Starr, of the University of Chicago, said he had known the Davenport Academy of Sciences for twenty-five years. When a schoolboy in Iowa he had been attracted by the reports of its meet- ings, and especially in its explorations of the mounds. Ten years later, while teaching in Coe College, Cedar Rapids, he felt the need of a scientific library, and came to Davenport, where he spent ten days studying in the Academy's library and museum. Since then his interest in the institution had been increasing. Continuing, he said, in substance:
The people of this city should be proud of the Academy. In the first place, we have here a library of many volumes that are rare and
SYNOPSIS 01 PROCEEDINGS.
precious. We have the old building, we have the new building and we have the museum — one of the best, according to its size, to be found in the whole country. In that museum are many rare treasures. But, after all, the museum is one of the least important things about this Academy, for the monthly meetings, where the handful of enthu- siastic devotees of science come together to keep the sacred fires lighted, are the important things. The publications of the Academy are also important, for they penetrate to all the libraries and univer- sities of the world and bring back in exchange the thoughts of all scientific scholars to enrich the Academy's library. The Davenport Academy is known in many cities of the old world where the name of Chicago is unknown, and where the University of Chicago has not yet been able to make itself felt.
But what of the future? One sees erected on this site a large build- ing with its corps of officials, its museums occupying one of the floors that extend from the street to the alley. One sees that courses of lectures are given every year, and the public is interested as never before in the study of science. To those who are interested in this work it is not necessary to call attention to the thirty-three years of achievement that lie in the past. Now for the future. It is the duty of those who are interested in this work to go out as missionaries and interest others until the whole city shall be alive to the value and the helpfulness of this magnificent local institution.
Professor Starr then delivered his interesting lecture on " The Indians of Southern Mexico," which was illustrated by stereoptican pictures.
At the conclusion of the lecture, opportunity was given those pres- ent to inspect the Griswold College and other collections which had been placed in the museum annex in the basement of the newly- acquired building, where refreshments were served.
Many letters were received from friends congratulating the Academy on its success. Among these letters, one from Prof. McBride seemed of especial interest:
To Mrs. M. L. D. Putnam, President of the Davenport Acade»iy of Sciences,
Dear FRIEND — I regret exceedingly that a previous engagement will prevent my being present on December 14 to bring you in person my earn- est congratulations on the triumphant management of the Davenport Academy of Sciences. There is certainly no other success like it in Iowa, and I do not believe there is in any other state, and men of science every- where are bound sooner or later to recognize that fact.
Through evil report and good report, in good times and bad times, you have persisted with a perseverance and patience beyond all praise, determ- ined that whatever else might come and go, your fortunate city should not be without the inspiration of modern scientific research and the stimulus of modern scientific thought. For three and thirty years, especially from those days when your gifted young member, J. Duncan Putnam, charmed

us all by the beauty and elegance of his works, all too early ended, until the present hour, in the world's Council of National History, the voice of Davenport has never once been silent. The Davenport Academy, may it nourish forever, growing in usefulness and in the good esteem of all intelli- gent men. Very sincerely yours,

December 28, iqoo — Regular Meeting.
Vice-President C. A. Ficke in the chair; seven members present.
The Curator reported the following additions to the museum :
From C. E. Harrispn, the skull of a woodchuck ; two large, framed photographs, the first, of Scott County's first court house, the second, of the ruins of Hill's block, northwest corner of Brady and Third streets, destroyed by fire on the night of February 22, 1876. This is of special interest, as upon that night the Ladies' Centennial Associ- ation was having a fair and festival in Hill's Oper House for the purpose of raising funds to publish Vol. I. of the Proceedings of the Academy. From Capt. W. P. Hall, a box containing two hundred flint instruments of various shapes and sizes, and twelve grooved axes, some worn with age or use. From Jacob Shibe, Rapids City, 111., a large Scotch curling stone, highly polished, weighing 37^3 pounds, and made of Scotch granite. Through favor of Bishop Morrison and the Board of Trustees, the Griswold College cabinet has been presented to the Academy, and the gift deserves grateful recognition. It com- prises several distinct collections, among which are the fresh water shells of the immediate vicinity. As early as 1866, Agassiz visited Davenport, called on Prof. Sheldon and expressed his astonishment at the range of the collection, saying that it seemed to him the richest conchological section between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. With that thoroughness and system which characterized all his work, Prof. Sheldon arranged the shells so as to facilitate their study. They were so placed on the shelves that the different sizes, forms and their inter- nal structure might be taken in at one view. Prof. Sheldon furnished a similar collection for the cabinet at Harvard. There are over seven hundred marine shells, some collected and some obtained by exchange. They are from China, Japan, West Indies, Sandwich Islands, the Med- iterranean, the waters of the American coast, and from the depths of the ocean. The collection of minerals is of wide range, including calcedony from India, volcanic rock from Iceland, silver and gold from the Rockies, crystals of quartz and lime from different parts of the United States. A mass of meteoric iron from Dakota, so pure that it is malleable. From the quarries around Davenport, a valuable collection of fossils, arranged for college class-work. Foreign fossils were added for the purpose of comparison. The cabinet of Rev. Dr. Peet, of great extent and value, was gathered by extensive travel in foreign countries. The collection of crystals is the most interesting

part, wonderful in the size and beauty of each individual crystal, and, still more wonderful, in the variety and delicacy of color, brought out by massing the crystals of different minerals. In passing I note the collection of garnets in mica-slate, pronounced by Prof. Silliman to be the finest specimens ever shown. It is a matter of deep regret that the systematic arrangement of this great collection has not been pre- served, many specimens being misplaced and many labels lost. The donation of Webb Ballord, a member of the "Bahama expedition," is a thoroughly scientific collection. It teems with wonderful and various forms of life in tropical waters, pleasing to the eye of the cas- ual observer and instructive to the student of natural history. J. H. Paarmann is now gathering together the various zoological specimens and arranging them in a scientific manner. I trust the members of the Academy will appreciate his excellent work.
The following resolution was unanimously adopted :
E. S. Carl, a prominent citizen of Davenport and an honored member of the Academy of Sciences, having died in October, 1900, the members of this Academy wish to place on record their appreciation of his many admir- able qualities and of 1 1 is interest in all enterprises pertaining to the improve- ment and advancement of the City of Davenport, and especially of the great interest he has always manifested in this institution.
W. C. Putnam.
C. A. FlCKE.
Resolutions were also adopted on the death of Mrs. J. J. Humph- rey, a Regular Member.
In connection with the recent dedication of Science Hall, resolu- tions were passed thanking the local press, the friends of the Academy who came from a distance to participate in the exercises, and to the friends at home, whose efficient aid made the entertainment such a success.
On motion, the chairman appointed the following nominating com- mittee to nominate officers for 1901 : C. A. Ficke, A. F. Cutter and E. S. Hammatt.
A visit was then made to the zoological collection in the museum, and Mr. Paarmann explained his method of classifying and arranging the specimens.
