The regular monthly meeting was called to order by the President, Mr. Nathan Hayward. He announced that the minutes of the preceding monthly meeting had been published in full in the March number of the Journal of the Institute and that unless obiection were uttered, the minutes would be approved as printed. No objection was offered, so the President ruled the minutes approved.
The Secretary reported the following changes in membership since the last regular meeting:
New members: one life member; six resident members; four non-resident members; one transfer from resident to resident life membership.
He reported, with sincere regret, the death of three members--Messrs. C. B. Cochran of West Chester, Pa.; S. P. Hutchinson of Philadelphia; and Edward Lupton of Philadelphia.
There was no further business except the reading of the paper of the evening, so the President introduced Dr. S. L. Hoyt of the General Electric Company, who spoke on "The New Alloy, Carboloy; Its Development and Uses." The lecturer first of all showed a moving picture film which displayed the use of the new alloy 'carboloy' in the industries. He then outlined the development of this alloy and dwelt particularly upon the upbuilding of the new art involved in its production. Dr. Hoyt's interesting and important paper was received with much enthusiasm and was followed by an animated discussion. The meeting adjourned at teneight p.m., with a rising vote of hearty thanks to the lecturer. HOWARD ~'|CCLENAHAN,
