by Captain Carroll show that 720 foot OF
tho wall Is below tho surface while third

moraine detritus that is constantly dcpos-
itcd ut tho foot OF 1t. Therefore were tho

GENIUS, WORK AND DISEASE.
Successful Generals Who Studied Their

Genius, say some, Is but capacity fol-
hard work This Is not whole truth.
There must be work in accordance with
law. Tho miner who digs for gold on the
seashore will never find 1t, though no dig

tho military topography of all Euorpe, and
with marvellous foresight thought out how

nero fortune or special inspiration Ii

There is u theory held by scientists that
genius comes from disease. Disease in.

A MARVELLOUS MEMORY.
The Young Florentine Who Possessed 1t
Could Not Forget Anything.

One of tho most wonderful memories
known to the world was that OF an italian
boy who had the long name Of Magliabe-
chi. He was born in Florence In 1888
His father and mother were very poor and
not particularly intelligent. When he was
not more than or 8 years Of agc, he was
employed by green grocer, but he was
too fine boy to remain long in such a
servic. as that Though no had never
learned to read, he spent all his spare time
looking at books in neighboring book.
sellers shop Ono day the bookseller nc
costod him, and hearing that Magliabechi
could not read he asked him what he
meant by looking SO long mt the books.
The child replied that he did not know
why he did It, but that it gave him so
much pleasure merely to look at the print
cd pages that no could not resist. This
answer interested tho bookseller hugely
and he took Magliabechi into his employ
and taught him to read After that he
rose gradually higher, until certain per-
sons connected with ono Of the great Ii.
braries of Florence took an interest in him
and got him employment there. 1t was
then that his wonderful memory began to
show itself. 1t seemed as IL one reading of
any book so impressed itself upon the boy
mind that he could remember every word
of tho text long after,
One of the instances of this was record
cd by writer of that period. A certain
gentleman Of Florence had written II book
and liking Magliabechi had sent him the
manuscript to read. Some time later,
Magliabechi having read and returned the
manuscript, the author came to him with
long face and pretended to have lost his
treasured work. 1t made him very TN
happy, he said, because he had no copy of
1t, and he supposed that he would have to
20 to the trouble OF writing it all over
again. Magliabcchi told him to take COM
fort, that he thought he could remember
1t we'll enough to give him copy, which
no did. He sat down and wrote the book
out complete from memory, and 1T Is the
testimony of those who have chronicled
the tale that tho Magliabechi copy did not
differ in the slightest degroe from the or
iginal, which had not really been lost, and
with which 1t was afterward compared.
He had likewise u marvellous memory
for small details. No matter how large a
library might be, If he had looked 1t over
carefully once he could remember exactly
where every book stood. 1t is said that
ono day he was sent for by his patron, the
great duke, who asked him where he could
procure volume that he happened to
want, and which was excessively rare
"Thore Is but ono in tho world, said
Magliabechi. "That Is in the grand seig.
nor's library at Constantinoplc, and IL
