Abstract
IN the timely and encouraging leader in NATURE of January 19, with which my experience is in entire agreement, there is a point of some importance to which reference is omitted. This is the practical question of cost. I would ask permission to draw a moral for application at the present time. Without expressing any opinion as to whether this cost could be reduced by improved methods of manufacture, I would direct attention to the fact that in the impoverished state of the finances of universities and similar bodies it is impossible adequately to equip their laboratories with costly apparatus.
