SCIENTISTS' WORK.
PRESENT-DAY NEED.
The need for a philosophy among scientific men was suggested to mem- bors of the Manchester section of the Institute of Chemistry by Mr. A. D. Ritchie,
The separation between science and philosophy during the last century, asid Mr. Richie, had been partly due] to the immense success of the philoso phical thinking of such pioneers as Galileo, Descartes, and Newton, sa that no further thought had seemed to be called for from their successors. But tho modern revolution in physics had upset this belief, The separation had been also partly temperamental, for it was difficult to be interested at the same time in general problems and in special problems.

The-Net of Science. The method of science was analytic, Or, where analysis failed, statistical. What was individual or unique escaped the scientific net, so that most of what was interesting in life escaped too. Owing to the limited character of science every scientific man ought to have some sort of philosophy as well, re- presenting his general outlook on the world. But if that had never been thought over it was not likely to be of the first quality.
There was another reason, he con-
tinued, for urging scientific men to pay some attention to philosophy. That
of was the immense practical importance

At the moment, Mr. Ritchie conclad- ed, we were living in the turmoil created: by selentile discoveries. Any day some new discovery or new applica tion of an old discovery might upset our whole political and economie structure. The scientific man in his work had to go whither his investigations led him, and ignore the consequences. But that was all the more reason why he should, reflect In the intervals.
