The Gouius and the crank.

The directions in which the genius ac-
tually varies from the average man are
evident as a matter of fact. He is. first
OF all, a man of great power of thought.
OF great constructive imagination, as the
psychologists would say. So let us be-
lieve first, that a genius is a man who
has, occasionally, greater thoughts than
other men have. Is this a reason for ex-
Guiding him from society? Certainly not:
for by great thoughts we mean true
thoughts, thoughts which will work.
thoughts which bring in a new era of
discovery of principles, or their applica-
ton. This is just what all DEVELOPMENT
depends upon. this attainment of novelty.
which is consistent with older knowledge
and supplementary to it. But suppose a
man have thoughts which are not true.
which do not fit the topic of their appli-
cation, which contradict established
knowledge. or which result in bizarre and
fanciful combinations of them; to that
man we deny the name of genius; he
is a crank, an agitator, an Anarchist. or
what not. The test, then, which we bring
to bear upon the intellectual variations
which men show Is that of truth. prac-
teal workability-in sort, to sum it up.

inmate, must be a 1T thought. And the

A sGoTo-INDIA ROMANCE.
Rise of a Washcrwoman,s som to
Honor and Fortune.

About the end of the seventeenth CEN
fury an Ayrshire herd-boy named James
Macrae lost his father and removed to the
county town, where, by running messages.
he added to the income of his mother, a
washerwoman. The lad spent all his leis-
ure about the ships, where he picked up a
scanty education. In one of these he went
secretly to sea. For the next thirty years
nothing was heard of him, till in 1870,
Madras Government to reform abuses in
the East India ~Company's settlement
Sumatra.
So well did he do this and other duties
that the w-asherwoman's son became Coy
ernor of Madras, and held that office for
I'VE years. After forty years absence
fortune estimated at not less than GI00.-
GOO. His mother was dead. His only sis
ter he found to be the wife of a d~issolute
joiner who lived by fiddling at weddings.
Himself an old bachelor, the retired
Governor of Madras devoted his fortune
to the advancement of their children, his
four nieceS.
One received the estate of Orangefeld
and a box of tea so large that the chest
IS still preserved, and she married the
Sheriff-Clerk of Ayr. The second was
tocnered with the estate of Alva. and her
husband was the Erskine who became a
Scottish Judge under that title. The
fourth married Captain Macrae, who be-
came notorious in Edinburgh as a duellist.
But the ex-Governor's interest centered
IN the third, who, like the Begun Sum-
roo,s representative in England, married
a Peer. She became Countess of Glen
cairn, the hen dying uncle bestowing on
her the barony of Ochiltree, which cost
him 925,0G0, and diamonds to the value
of $40, 600. Their son it was who befriend-
ed the poet Burns, who wrote in his
Lament for James Earl Of Glencairn:'
The bridegroom may forget the bride
Was made his welded wife yestreen;
The monarch may forget the crown
That on his head an hour has been;
The mither may forget the BARN
That smiles sac sweetly on her knee.
But III remember thee, Glencairn,
And a that thou hast done for me-"
The rich Governor presented Glasgow
first with the equestrian statue of King
William, and then with $4,000 to meet
the fine levied on the citizens by Prince
Charles. Recent investigation into the old
records of Madras reveals many facts
most honorable to the Ayrshire adven-
turer who thus raised himself to be one
of the best Governors it ever had. On
taking his sea- in Council he declared
that he would prosecute the East India
Company's interest to the uttermost, and
endeavor to retrieve the abuses that had
crept into the management of their. af-
fairs. This James Macrae did, and he,
therefore, holds a high place in the long
roll OF Scotsmen who a mad India

LONDON UNDERGROUND.
The Street Rniiwars to Re Run by
ELECTRICITY.


Great activity is being shown in Lon
don at present in planning underground
street railways, and all of the roads I'M
der consideration are to be provided with
electricity by reason of the conspicuous
success of the electric road already in
operation.
The railway referred to is the City and
South London, opened in 1890. Here, for
the first time, was tried that invention of
Mr.. Greatheaa's which equally with cleo
trio traction, has helped to revolutionize
urban railway construction. This con-
f~trivance, Familiarity known to engineers
as the "Greathead Shield" is an airlock
system of tunnelling which nables work
to be executed expeditiously at any depth
in perfect safety, and to he continued un-
hindered quite Irrespective of whatever
springs may be e~ncountered while boring.
The railways now under construction will
be tunneiled in this manner at an average
depth of sixty feet beneath the payements
of London, and no signs OF their process
will be visible to those who use the streets
excepting only on the sites of proposed
stations, where shops and houses are be-
ing demolished.
There are no fewer than six lines au-
tIloriztu, TWO DeinS at lne present mo-
ment actively pushed forward The Wa
terloo and City Railway is the shortest
of all, and has but two stations, one at
Waterloo and the other at the Mansion
House. This particular line Is, perhaps.
the most urgently needed of all, and it is
now rapidly approaching completion.
But public attention Is attracted Just
now principally to the Central London
Railway. which will run from Shepherds
Bush to Liverpool street, a distance of
six and a half miles. Authorized in the
sessions of 1891 and 1888, it's construction
has just been undertaken by the Elec-
trio Traction Company. who have let all
the contracts, and have already begun
pulling down the houses that occupy the
sites of The fourteen stations along the
route. Trains stopping at each station will
be run at intervals Sof tHo minutes and a
half, and win perform the journey from
end to end, including all stoppages, in
t~n,rty-lve minutes. The cost Of co~nStruc-
ton and equipment, calculated at f5O0, 900
per mile, brings the total cost to e., 500. 600.
The rail level will not be less than
eighty-fve feet beneath the surface at
some points on this line, and five hydrau-
lie lifts will convey passengers to and
from the trains. and subways will be con-
structed for foot passengers to cross from
one side of the road to the other. The
and sixty millions of passengers in the
year, but the actual capacity of the line
is 5000 coo. The boring of the two tun-
nels, which will be circular, lined with
iron, and but eleven feet six inches diam
eter. will be proceeded with from each
1887. this work viii have been completed.
It Will serve to give Some idea Of the
magnitude OF these combined railway en-
terprises when it IS considered that the
number Of new, stations they will involve
will reach a total of forty -fve,-Electrical
