spiration external to the agent. What Mr. Stedman
has done in his dlsqulstion on Genius is TO show
that tho actual facts at ending such abnormal
development Justify the hypothesis OF inspiration
and do not Justify any other. such testimony,
however, cannot be expected to convince those
who lack the tendency to accept any theories save
the most practical ones.
The scope of modern Realism is wide. ana 1T has
ample utilities. As a corrective to extremist ten
denotes in the opposite direction it possesses sau-
tary function. Its own proneness to push nateri-
alsm too far is not likely TO be carried to mischley-
Gus lengths inasmuch as the realities of life are tp
sombre for any people to adopt seriously phi
losophy OF dsenchantment. 1t is not OF much
consequence what we call the mysterious manifest
alton known genius. 1t will still be recognized
that il is gift and not an requirement. that
between it and the most panstaking talent there is
a distinction not to be overlooked mistaken !;
that in its highest development as instance
Shakespeare, it is almost impossible not to regard
it as emanatng from a moro advanced state Of
being that it is superior to rules aud prccedents,
and even capable Of transcendng the common
laws of mental growth; and that when it appears
thus, Towering forth without let or hindrance amid
favorable conditions, even the most confirmed
realists fain to acknow ledge that the phenome-
non cannot be gagged by their measures nor ex-
planned in accordance with their doctrines.

important cases that would be brought to trial

by some scientific men, that the Charleston
earthquake was a result of displacement IN the
line OF the Appalachian Range. So far as noted
the facts do not appear to bear out that theory.
If. as alleged. the centre OF the disturbance was
in North Carolina, the direction of the shocks
should have been vertical there. But we have
no report of any vertical shocks, while at Sum-
merville and at Charleston the movement noted
was from southeast to northwest The direc-
ton of the shocks, that Is to say, was Oblique,
and indicated that the centre of the disturbance
was under the ocean. Why there has been no
earthquake wave it is impossible to say. Had
the centre of disturbance been very distant the
tidal wave might arrive long after the earth
wave, as has frequently happened. The oc-
currence of shocks over so large an area as one
million square miles certainly justiiies belief in
something more than local disturbance as the
originating cause, and the almost simultaneous
occurrence of shocks in Greece and California
still further dscredits the theory of displace-
ment along the base-line Of the Appalachian
Mountains But all speculation on the subject,
no matter by whom, is simply tonjectural, ana
since the scientists have failed to make this I'M
portant truth clear to the public it seems desira-
ble that it should be done for them. The
physics OF the earths crust are really but little
known, and the mode of action of the dynamic
forces which have made it what it u.s. and which
continue to modify it, is disputed almost "a
botly now as In the days of Leibnitz and

SCIENCE AND TIE EARTHQUAKE.

The public have been presented, since the
Charleston earthquake, with SO great variety
of scientific deliverances on the subject as
must tend to confusion of mind. This result is
the more to be apprehended because the men
of science who lmpart their views appear
curiously reluctant to admit what is really a
necessary provisO to all theories pamely.
the fact that no positive or definite knowledge
of the cause of earthquakes is possessed by any
human being. The temptation to dogmatize.
however, is too strong for the majority, and so
we have had tht by no means edifying spectacle
of number of savants each OF whom has a pct
theory, but none of whose pet theories accord
with one another. That this disagreement
should exist under the circumstances is indeed
in no way surprising, for the whole matter Is
guesswork, and the proof of this lies in tile un
questionable fact that no positive kno ledge
exists concerning any of the most vital factors
in the problem. In regard to some of these
factors it is strange to find men of science still
putting forward hypothesis which the latest
researches discredit, for instance the hypo-
thesis of liquid nucleus to the earth.
1t has been demonstrated that q globe having
liquid nucleus and comparatively thin crust

sist tidal action. 1t has also been shown that
the phenomena of procession and mutation could
not be what they are if the globe were AZ
elastic and plastic as liquid interior would
make it. In confirmation of these views il has
been still further demonstrated that in fact the
earth possesses rigidity equal to that of STEEL
and such rgidity is incompatible with
the central fire hypothesis. There remain the
theory of solid nucleus and fluid zone in
terposed between it and the crust ard the
theory, which Sir William Thomson has main
tanned very ably, of solid globe. As To the
thickness OF the earth's crust the most various
ideas are held, but perhaps the greatest weight
of opinion to-day favors a thickness of from
500 to 1000 miles If that be accepted the
explanation OF seismic action by any movement
of the interior fluid fire must be abandoned
The theory employed to account for volcanic
disturbances, namely that bodies of water find
their way into subterranean recesses and are
converted into vapOr by intense heat, NAV ex.
plain some earthquakes though obviously NOT
generally applicable; being quite useless for
instance, in such cases as that of the Caracas
" here the shocks continued three years.
Considering the disagreement among geolo-
gists respecting the processes of mountain
making, and the force of the objections which
lie against some point in every theory, it is GER
tainly strange that any attempt should be made
To dogmatize upon earthquakes. 1t has been
asserted with curious assumption of certainty.

THE REALITY OF GENTTIS

Mr.. Stedmsn IN his admirable paper on the ex-
istence of Genius" has treated his subject fro m
the point of view Of literary authority. experieuck
and science. and in each case shows a consensus of
affirmative opinion. One instance such as that OF
Mozart is sufficient to overthrow the theory that
what is called genius is really no more than the
thorough cultivation of natural apttudes. though
OF course the employment.of the term natural apt
ltudes" leaves wide margin for misapprehen-
sion. The controversy however. to which Mr.
Stedman has made 80 brilliant and skilful n con-
iributon. is In some respects akin 10 that Legend
airy one over the shield with two faces Probably
the view taken by any of the point at issue will
be determined more by temperament than by
authority or reason. There always has been. and
presumably there always will be, TWO strongly
differentiated orders OF mind in the world The
bent Of one of these orders is Idealstic and that
OF the other Realistic.
The conflict between these radically divergent
ways OF looking at things apparently incapable
of adjustment Ii is part of that larger struggle
which is continually going on between the spiritual
and the material forces All wac fight iu the ranks
