SCIENCE RESEARCH.
APPLIED TO COMMERCE. LONDON, May 13. Lord Stanley of Alderly in a speech in the House "of Lords urged the wider use of the Imperial Institute for scientific research. He recommended the wool trade to follow the example of the cotton spinners, and to make a levy for purposes of research. The Lord President of the Council, tho Earl of Balfour, in defending the sufficiency of the present research bodies, mentioned that a former loss of £250,000 a year had been saved by the discovery that Australian apples on shipboard were virtually dying of suffocation for want of oxygen to replace the carbon dioxide which they were exhaling. This discovery was made as a result of investigations carried out by the Food Council.—(A. and N.Z. and Sydney "Sun.")
