Professor Osborne, addressing a meeting of business men, spoke in unsparing terms or the contemptible position England occupied in relation to Germany aud the United States in her attitude of indifference towards science aud higher education. He attributed the ■ menace of Germany's growing rivalry to the work done in the German laboratories. He ironically pointed to the contrast between the concern ielt in England over the victories gained by visiting Australian cricketers or Xew' Zealand footballers, and the indifference shown when Germany by purely intellectual effort in her laboratories, robbed England of her Indian indigo trade. He was far more afraid of German organic chemistry, than of her canals or dreadnoughts.
