Natural Science and Happiness.
London Spectator.

So far as human happiness lies in
the exercise of those faculties which
constitute mans physical diferelstia
the study OF natural science affords
its students the amplest, the most
varied. and the most unalloyed en-
joyment of existence. The student of
the forms and modes of life in particu-
lar finds his curiosity at once daily
stimulated, and IN a measure satisfied,
while his powers grow with use and
enable him continually to widen his
horizon and deepen his insight. He
is confined neither to the labratory
nor to the library. His field of inquiry
is the whole organic world, past and
present. He must be deft manipu-
lator and keen observer, untiring in
the harvesting of facts, and at once
logical and imaginative in the gener-
alizatlons he found upon them. No
bigotry dogs his footsteps, and no
dogma arrests his progress. His re-
trained enthusiasm never descends to
frenzy, and idols of all kinds have for
him but an incidental and temporary
attraction. Hence his full life IS
empty of every form of ennui, and, if
powers are fairly commensurate with
his ambitions, it is bright by the con-
slant JOY of strenuous and successful
mental activity, each period of which
BRINGS MIN nearer to tue comprehen-
sion and appreciation of the supreme
resultant of all the known forces of
the universe.
