Donald It Is most gratifying to us to nil of us who believe lu the bcuellclnl results upon huinnn Ufa coufrrrcd by the diffusion of sclentlllc knowledge, ns nil iiicinlsrs of this great asno elation must do to (liid that their work and the object of their meeting aro so highly ap preciated by such a wide circle as that repio touted by the signatories to this address. It Is, howover, particularly gratifying to us to find such n locognltlnn where, crhaM, nt first slglit, we might hardly havo expected It of the ndvnutagi-s of puro or n lis tract science, njiart from Its practical application to tho mnlerlnl welfare of mankind. You have recognized what Is certainly known to those who have followed mostcloso ly thn history of science, but what Is not gen erally known or appreciated by tho multl twit namely, that nearly all tho marvelous benefits which havo lieeu conferretl on man by tho application of sclentlllc discovery or kcleutllla knowledge have been tho result of tho discoveries of philosophers who are pur suing kuowlwlxo wholly for its own sako without any Iiok of reward, without any liojwof its Is'iielltlug, Hrhnpi, themsolves or othcre, nnd wry often nmld tho Indlffcronco, tho neglect, nnd even tho scorn of their con temjiornrlcs. The mrtlctilnr branch of sci enco which 1 have tho honor of representing Is, at first sight, very llttlo sccially connect ed with the general welwaro of man, and Is looked iiM)u by many as llttlo moro than idle peculation or curiosity 1 well remember it Is certainly many years ago now ono who, moro than any one ohm living In this country, has advanced that branch of sclenco Professor Huxloy, In a lecture which ho delivered nt tho Royal Instl tutlou, saying tho common Idea of n natural 1st was "That dirty man poking about ths seashore, with n net lu ono hand and n bottle In tho other, a iverfectly Innocent and harm less Individual, but a very useless ono. Well, 1 may say thnt that description was made somo thirty yearn ogo, beforo Professor Hux ley himself had done so much to rnlso tho character of naturalists ami natural history in this country, yet It still hohls good with many nt tho present time. ilut you must recollect, however, thnt the researches of naturalists of that tyo, men who hnvo occupied themselves lu nearly ob serving the ways and habits and studying the structuro of animals of n low typo or organi sation havo produced already marvelous re sults uiKin tho liniinlucKs nnd welfnro of man kind. Through researches of this kind wo are getting only now to tlio causes and prevention of disease which, when further ndvnncwl for they are only beginning now will, I have no doubt, lew! to an enormous saving of health and of llfo. Moreover, through tho re searches of such naturalists, greater results till havo been produced. They hu o produced effects upon our mode of thinking on many subjects on our rela tions to each other nnd to tho uulverso ef fects tho end of which wo hardly sw at pros Hit. And thoy have taught us ono great lo on, ono that I alluded to lu tho address which I had tho honor of giving hero the other night namely, that It Is a great prln clplu of tiaturo that progress In living in animal anil plant iiaturo at all ovonts has boon duo In great meusuio to tho principle which Darwin most popularized, If ho did not llrst enunciate, which ho, at all events, brought Into tho condition In which wo now know it that of tho strugglo for existence ami tho survival of tho fittest. Now, It Is u law in nature that thero should bo a certain amount of Individual differences or vmlatiuns lu tho different animals and plants, ami that tho progress from tho lower to tho nlgher forms of animals and plants has lieeu duo to tho opiortunlty uf thoso in dividuals who nro n llttlo siiierlor lu somo reccts to their fellows of asserting thnt su periority, of continuing to live, nnd of prop agating as an Inheritance that superiority That law- cstablishwl In nature is, 1 beliovo, equally applicable to ourselves; and tills U tho message w hlch puro and nbstract biologi cal research has sent to help us on In somo of tho commonest problems of human life, Tho lesson of it is this that there is always a certain amount of variability, that thero U no such thing as equality equality in (.lowers of work, equality in owers of cmlurauco, or equality in tho powers of men fordoing great things lu tho world, and that progress do ponds on giving full liberty to that superior ity, wherever it asserts Itself, having full fling. Now, supposing this law did not exist in tho animal kingdom, Instead of the world being filled with all tho diversity und beauty which It now (lossesses, everything would havo boon in tho condition of slimy (lolyps at tho bottom of tho sea, and wo should all still bo in tlio condition of Hint chipping savages. I will leuvo It to you to apply to j ourselves In j our own social condition nml social life tho application of that law I w ill not press it any further at present, but leave you to think It out afterwards. It means that there should bo no attempt what over to keep down tho canicitlcs of tho superior to the level of tho Inferior Any man who gets a little rlso above his fellows helps on tho progress of the world am! brings all tho others on with him.
