Value of Science. Science for science's sake, science

as a cult, pleads Prof. Raphael Meldola, president of the Chemical Society of Great Britain. Scientific research is worthy of national homage whether it leads to immediately practical results or not. Any country which limits its appreciation of research to such branches of science as are likely to lead to industrial develop, irtents is low in the scale- of civilization. The works of the litterateur or artist appeal directly to the pnblic and can be appreciated according to thei merits. Not so the labors of the scientific Investigator. His achievements are measured largely by the utilitarian standard, and certainly cannot be said to occupy the same position as sister branches of culture. Prof. Meldola has no desire to give countenance to antagonism between pure and applied science. Far from this being the case the rate of progress Is actually measurable by the degree of substitution of pure science for empiricism.
