GENIUS is DANGEROUS.

Scientists Assert 1t Frequently Is Accom-
panied by Disease.
Genius, say some, is but a capacity
for hard work. This is not the whole
truth. There must be work in accord
ance with law. The miner who digs
for gold on the seashore will never find
it though he dig ever so 1aboriously,
but if he study gold and the geologic
strata in which it lives he has begun
to put himself in harmony with law
Mere work, unless properly directed.
is like riding hobby horse-there is
energy and motion, but no progress
For years Napoleon was living in
miniature the battles he was to fight,
analyzing strategic moves and posi-
tions and training his mind to thus
grasp a new situation on the instant.
Won Moltle studied the military top
ography of all Europe and with mar
velous foresight thought out how to
win. His victory was no triumph of
mere fortune or special information.
1t was but the logical outcome of his
trained mind, and trained mind ever
lights the torch of its own inspiration.
Leonardo da Vinci always carried in
his girdle his sketch book in his walks
in Florence, constantly looking for
picturesque faces. ''In the silence of
the night" he would counsel himself,
recall the ideas of the things you
have studied. Design in your spirit
the contours and outlines of the fig
ures you have seen during the day"
There is theory held by scientists
that genius comes from disease. Dis
ease, insanity, depravity, and other
failings often do occur as consequents
due to Recommendation or misuse Of
powers, but they do not create genius
anv more than the vultures of the
plains create the carcass upon which
they feed. The genius, too, being of
finer mental material, is more likely to
show a flaw, as Dresden china reveals
a mar not noticeable in a red clay
flower pot. In support of the disease
theory the most insignificant, com
monplace ailments of ordinary human
ity, when found in genius. are mag
nifed and exaggerated The weak
nesses thus pointed out are, t is worth
nothing, usually shown in a part Of
mind or of body where the ge MUS was
not exercised.-New Science Review.

THE CURTIS LAKE DISASTER.
Bursting of the Dam Carries Destruction
to the Medicine Valley.

Bursting of the Dam Carries Destruction
to the Medicine Valley.
OMAHA, June 3-A special to the Bee
from Curtis, Neb, says: Curtis lake burst
from its banks late yesterday afternoon,
and the volume of water released car
ried destruction through tho Medicine
valley. The lake covered an area of 100
acres and was constructed as an irriga-
ton reservoir and incidentally to furnish
power to the Curtis roller mills.
An enormous dam was built across the
mouth of Well Canon, where it intercepts
Medicine Creek at this point and all the
water drained from the territory to the
north, some 30 square miles, was confined
to the artificial basin. The enormous
flood of water that has passed into the
lake during the past five days was too
heavy for the dam.
The first intimation Curtis citizens had
that the locality was threatened with dis
astsr, was when the banks of the lake
burst with d roar that could be heard
several miles, and wall of water ten
feet high rushed down the val
ley, carrying everything in its path.
Houses, freight cars, stock. and
mountain of debris was caught up and
dashed about like feathers. The fine
roller mills which occupied the east side
Of the great ravine received the first
shock of the torrent and the building
was almost ruined Damage in this di-
rection alone is estimated at $4,000.

its progress was impeded, but only for an
instant, then the heavy embankments is
gave way and the wall Of water rushed
through, cutting a path 100 yards wide.
A number of freight cars were standing
on the tracks close to the point under
mined, and were precipitAted into the
river, being carried down stream like
straws.
Much of the track was left spanning
the chasm while other sections were
carried over bodily by the great
pany's loss is about $25, 900. As the wall
of water passed beyond the city it rapid
ly spread out over an immense territory.
and its powers of destruction were cor
respondingly decreased
The damage, however, was mere
ly shifted, as the extensive alfalfa
meadows for many miles to the
south were flooded by several feet
of water and fears are entertained
that the crop will be permanently de-
stroyed. All details from the south.
where the torrent passed, indicate very
extensive damage.
Farm products of every descrip-
tion were engulfed and in
many instances where the homes
of the farmers were in the Immediate
vicinity of the valley the disaster was
almost ruinous. Small buildings were
swept away or undermined in such a
manner as to be rendered worthless. and
in some sections the water rose SO ranidIv
as to seriously menance the lives Of
families.
No loss of life has thus far. been re.
ported Twenty miles to the south

Hint About Cooking Rhubarb.

Not everyone knows that rhubarb
can be as easily cooked in the oven as
on top of the stove. Cut the rhubarb
in half-inch lengths; do not peel it.
Put it in an earthen pudding dish. To
a dozen Inoderate-sizeds stalks add two
cups of sugar. Cover the rhubarb with
a plate and set in a moderately-hot
oven. Lett cook in this way for about
one hour. If it is rich, juicy, red rhu-
barb, it will not be necessary to add
any water, as the juices will draw out
of it fast enough to cook it in. Tarts
made of .rhubarb cooked in this way are
especially nice, covered with a thick
white meringue.

CHICAGO June 3.-The June crop re-
port of the Orange Judd Farmer pub
lished this week, based on data up to
May 27 make the average condition of
winter wheat 71.5 or 13 points short of
last month, the heaviest drop in condi-
tion ever recorded in a single month.
Condition is high on the Pacific coast,
but in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri and Kansas the average is only
g..
According to the report, the total crop
in the six states named will but little
more than furnish bread and seed re-
quired within their own border, while
the total winter wheat crop this
year, including the large production Of
the Pacific coast will not make enough
to furnish bread alone for the people in
the winter wheat states east of the
Rocky Mountains.
