Scientific Research in India.

Dr. J.C. Bose speaking at the Ram Mohan Rai Library, Calcutta, on Saturday last in reply to an address presented to him at an entertainment, made an enthusiastic exhortation to the young men to undertake scientific research and enquiry with the spirit which guided the sages and scientists of ancient India. He gave his own experience and how his experiments were received by European and American scientists. Even the most critical savants of Vienna, said he, felt themselves constrained to make a most generous admission. In these new investigations on the borderland between physics and physiology, they held that Europe has been left behind by India, to which country they would now have to come for inspiration. It has been recognised that science will derive benefit when the synthetic intellectual methods of the East co-operate with the severe analytical methods of the West.
