A MEETING of the council of the International Association of Academies is being held this week at the rooms of the Royal Society, that society being the directing academy of the association for the three years' period ending with 1904. The meeting will be attended by delegates from nearly all the principal learned academies of Europe, and will discuss several matters of importance to international science and philosophy, preparatory to the meeting of the general assembly which is to be held in London next year.
