Science and the War. • - The advance of scientific investiga- tion during the period cf the war line would not been more rapid than it `? t have been under the no7.nnet vendi- tions_of peace, and in all probability has been very greatly re't:.rda,l, Many centres n£ energetic research have been ovexrun by armies or conge.:ted with sick and wounded and over- whelmed with the problem of their cure. Hundreds of investigators have been wrenched from their proper Milks to the performance of duties trivial in themselves, but of vital and immediate urgency in this crisis, Others have already fallen in the tie - fence of principles far more dear to them than knowledge. The advance , of science has thus been unquestion- ably retarded. What has indeed been accelerated, and in very patent ceas- ure, has been the application of knowledge, long since garnered and imperfectly utilized, to the service of the nations in arms. Take, for example, the, development of aviation. Most of us are indeed aware that mechanical flight had been achieved before the war, but few are acquainted with the true history of its origin, or of the trivial part Played by war, or the anticipation of war, in the development of its funda- mental principles. The problem of mechanical flight appears to have been for the first time competently and scientifically approached by Leonardo eta Vinci, who, besides be- ing one of the greatest painters, one of the greatest sculptors, one of the greatest architects and one of the greatest anatomists of liis epoch, was one of the greatest engineers which his century produced. It was be who w ace of of he tm to out t firstpointedP fi the angle of the wing or plane In de- termining the direction of motion. Practical applbeution of the theor- etical prineiples which he discovered was of course impossible at that time for lack of Mechanical motive power. The next and final fundamental step in the solution of the problem was taken by Langley, late secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, who was the first to discover the dependence of the buoyancy of the air upon the speed with w5hdcll the planes move through it, The fundamental laws having been elucidated, and adequate motive -power rendered nvaiiable by the development of the automobile in- dnstsy, the aer•oplanewe-s not merely a logical but a necessary outcome. As a matter of feel, the first aeroplane was built by Langley in 1003 and suc- cessfully flown by Curtiss in 1.014. Meanwhile Bleriot and the Wright heathers had built and flown aero- plutee constructed in accordance with the fundaunelal principles laid down. i1y Lana;ley.--Prof. T.l,raiisfard Robe -Aeon, in' The Canadian Magazine Inc Of tuber.
