Abstract
DIOGENES had only one request to make of Alexander: “Keep out of my sunlight”. Insolation, to the Cynic, was what the bath, the omnibus, and the tea-tray have been to eminent physicists and chemists; and in a world overshadowed by a planned technology, Dr. Baker takes up the cause of individual freedom for men of science.
