A CHANGE IN IT'S FIELD.

1t was then that majority Of the manage
ment recognized the fact that the interest Of
the wealthy classes in scientific matters was
based not 50 much On the practical advantages
of science to the poor, as on the more dazzling
aspects of scientific discovery. 1t was this nat
ural tendency Of cultivated minds in circum-
stances of ease ana leisure that had produced
the Royal Society and the rage for dabbllng in
experiment in the reign Of Charles II. and
the wise men Of the Royal Institution. IN spite
of their president Sir Joseph Banks deter
mined at the beginning of the nineteenth CEN
tury to trust the same instinct for the financial
support of the new organization.
In this way the Royal Institution entered up
on that wider field in which il has since met
with such brilliant success Thenceforward il
was to work for the advancement, not merely
of science as contributing to the welfare OF
the poor but Of science for its own sake. in
vestigaung simply for the sake Of finding out,
leaving the practical results TO take care OF
themselves.
The shrewdness Of those who modified the
original plan in this sense was quickly vindi-
Gated By the financial results The Royal In
sutution soon became prosperous concern. In
the purely intellectual aspect it began at the
same time 10 be associated with names which

week, visiting relatives and friends.
We are pleased to say that Ed
