According TO the Scientific American.
q very radical change has taken place
lately in the coloring of soap-that Is,
dntil a comparatively recent time min
sral colors were exclusively employed,
but the advance in the tar color in
ddAtry has brought about the change.
A very prominent advantage noted in
respect to mineral cdors is their sta
bility, not being altered or in any way
effected by exposure to light, an ad-
vintage, however, which is offset in
many cases by the remarkably beauti-
full effect Of numerous aniline colors,
and by the more difficult method of
application in the case Of the former;
the specific gravity Of mineral colors
being rather high in most cases. they
naturally tend to settle toward the bot
tom, necessitating crutching of the soap
until it is too thick to drop the color;
but for notified soap. cinnabar, or YER
million and ultramarine are still largely
employed.

GENIUS, WORK AND DISEASE
Their Relations to One Another Clearly
Defined.

Genius, say some Is but capacity
for hard work. This is not the whole
truth, says the New Science Review.
There must be work in accordance with
law The miner who digs for gold on
the seashore will never find 1t, though
he dig so laboriously, but If he study
gold and the geologic strata in which It
lives he has begun to put himself into
harmony with law. Mere work, unless
properly directed, is like riding q
bby-horse-there is energy and mo-
ton, but no progress.
For years Napoleon was living in
miniature the battles he was to fight.
Analysing strategic moves and posi-
tions, and training his mind to thus
grasp a new situation on the instant.
Won Moltke studied the military topoG-
raphy of all Europe, and with marvel
Gus foresight thought out how to win.
His victory was no triumph of mere
fortune or special inspiration. 1t was
but the logical outcome of his trained
mind, and a trained mind ever lights
the torch of it's own inspiration. Leon.

girdle his sketch book in his walks In
Florence constantly looking for pictur-
esuue faces I'm the silence Of the

call the ideas of the things you have
studied Design in your spirit the con-
tours and outlines of the figures you
have seen during the day" There iS q
theory held by scientists that genius
comes from disease. Disease. inSamty,
depravity and other failings often do
occur as consequences due to overcon-
centration or misuse OF powers, but they
do not create genius any 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 this
disease theory the most insignificant,
commonplace ailments Of ordinary
humanity, when found in genius, are
magniied and exaggerated. The
weaknesses thus pointed out are, 1t Is
worth noting, usually shown in the part
Of mind or OF body where the genius
was not exercised.

Held tho Wrong Hand.

A charming young woman who lives
on the West Side and her young man
found the Summit street cars packed
to the doors last Friday evening when
they started for the Auditorium, says
the Kansas City Star. Nothing daunted,
Miss West Side sought place upon the
step of the platform. She had barely
room for one foot, and as the car
lurched and heeled she chung to
Charles big, strong hand. Occasionally
under the cover Of the darkness, she
squeezed it tenderly, because-well, be-
cause she and Charlie are engaged.
And so she held on to the hand for
many blocks.
Charlie" said she, aren't you about
worn out holding me on the car with
your one poor, tired hand?"
What cried Charlie In a Mortified
tone.
Maoemoiselle looked up and then
dropped the hand frantically. She had
