Abstract
WE live and move and have our being in a world of contradictions—in a world which has shrunk in its dimensions to an almost incredible extent during the last generation. America and the Antipodes are but a few days' journey from Europe; wireless can put a girdle round the globe in a time undreamt of by Puck; the, concerted labours of the physicist, the engineer, and the biologist have made it possible to transport perishable produce on a large scale from country to country—produce which adds in a high degree to the amenities of life in our community. All these results have been achieved by thought and labour which were truly international in character.
