Abstract
THE first of this year's conversaziones of the Royal Society was held at Burlington House on May 8, and was, as usual, largely attended. Many objects and experiments relating to recent work in science were on view, and in the course of the evening short demonstration lectures were given by Mr. C. V. Boys on soap bubbles, the Hon. R. J. Strutt on active nitrogen, particularly as to the striking effects of pressure and temperature on active nitrogen, and Dr. J. S. Haldane on mountain sickness and acclimatisation to high altitudes.
