Les sciences exactes et leurs applications à la vie ont trans formé le monde. Notre siècle marche de surprise en surprise dans la voie des découvertes, et chaque jour, pour ainsi dire, nous apporte des faits nouveaux, qui bouleversent profonde ment les habitudes prises. Ou peut regretter qu'il en soit ainsi, mais ou ne peut nier l'évidence. Tout le monde est obligé de s'approprier ces faits, de les utiliser en une certaine mesure, et parfois de les dominer, afin d_'eu tirer tout le profit possible. Les lois qui régissent la société soul aussi dures et implacables que celles qui gouvernent la nature, et les obstinés qui ne voudraient s'v soumettre seront écrasés sans pitié.
