Abstract
The importance of pure science as a complement to its practical applications is becoming more generally recognized every day. Additional examples of the use of the results of research in an unexpected direction are steadily accumulating so that it is not safe to assume that any abstract bit of knowledge may not sooner or later be put to some concrete practical use. It will not be out of place, therefore, to pause for a few moments at this time and see along what lines these uses have developed, partly as a possible guide to future progress, but more particularly as a stimulus to the student of pure science, who frequently finds difficulty in securing support for investigations which do not. appear to lead directly to practical results.
