Full Text

conference which was suggested by the German government. The Tribune's correspondent says:

international seismological association. With reference thereto the question has been raised whether it would not be advisable to have the international association of academies, which was formed recently, work out a common plan for international co-operation in seismological observations. The opinion is expressed that if this were done this international earthquake conference might be dispensed with, especially as there are already too many scientific conferences of all sorts. This opposition comes principally from England, but it is to be presumed that a large number of expert scientists will advocate the necessity of an international conference.
