Abstract
THE article under this title in the issue of NATURE of January 3 refers to the small part played by scientific men in public affairs and in business life. I think that the explanation of this is simple. One man has a fixed amount of daily energy. If he makes a great effort in one direction his effort in another direction is correspondingly weak; and so, in general, one man cannot excel in more than one direction.
