CULTIVATE PURE SCIENCE

ny ARTHUR J. nALFoUR.

LONDON, Jan. S1.--I think 1t Is trIio
that the great industrial development
in which Great Britain led the way
toward the end OF the eighteenth con-
supremacy over the world. which is
certainly impossible and probably not
wholly desirable that We should evar
reGan-was moi in the main due to
anything which pure science con-
tributed to industry. And I believe IL
is partly owing to that that the great
industrial community OF this country,
whose succession to their forefathers
at the end OF tho eighteenth century
and the beginning of the nineteenth.
century has not been interrupted, have
their thoughts tho idea that science is
now In these days an essential element
in Industrial progress.
The Germans. whose Industrial de-
velopment came much later, have al
ways taken different view. / do not
think that they have shown any
greater aptitude for science than the
British, and am sure they have
shown no greater aptitude for indus-t
try. But. beginning as they did rather,
late in the day. with their great pow.
with their highly developed and equip-'
ped universities, and with the view
which they have always entertained
of the close alliance that ought to
exist between knowledge and power,
they naturally and easily did what
we did. with more difficulty and alta

Forced to Depend Upon
Gold and Silver.

MENICO CITY. Jan. 3I.-Mcxlco IS
passing through a bitter commercial
crisis as q result OF the shortage OF
change. Leading commercial houses in
the capital. instead OF experiencing the
usual 80 per cent holiday increase IN
business during December. reported
safes 10 per cent less than November.
Without paper currency. the country
depends on gold and silver coin and
the high price of silver has caused an
acute shortage of small change. Cue

charging as high as per cent to
change gold coin into silver, and it is
reported that gold also Is growing

tried TO use postal and documentary
stamps for change found themselves
breaking tho law.
Thus far no method of facilitating
small purchases has been discovered,
and. according to semi-ofhciai state
ments. the country will be forced to
wait for the price of silver to decline
to secure relief. The silver content OF
