and that the noblest of all products


mean brave men. They are men, too
| who illustrate the doctrine of heredity
in a pleasanter way than Ibsen' S
dramas. There is no degeneracy about
them hansen and his followers haver
shown sufficiently TO all who have fol
lowed his story that the supplemented
old heroes Of the Sagas have left worthy
| descendants-men whose nerves are
danger; and who, if they have lost some
of the brutality and reckless disregard
! of human life of the old Vikings, are
not one whit behind them in the manly
qualities which attract us even to the
ancient warriors whose morality was
not in all respects that of the Sermon
on the Mount Nansen's book, it was
remarked TO me by one who has good
right to speak, is superior as book for
boys-and | hope that | have not quite
ceased to be a boy-even TO Robinson
Crusoe; it proves that nature can al
ways improve upon art when she
chooses, and that the most ingenious
combinations Of the novelist fall short
of the reality. l do not press the COM
parison or judge the order OF merit.
But there is a relatin. The charm of
Defoe's masterpiece is the portrait Of
the sturdy, commonplace Briton, de
prived of all resources and left to fight
his way for himself against the dumb
opposition of nature. He is the type of
the self-reliant and indomitable capacity
for falling upon ones feet which, in the
days of his biographer, was laying the
foundation of the British Empire. Rob
insoe is the English adventurer who
stood behind Give and Warren Hast
ingS and Wolfe and Hawke and Arson,
and turned their victories to account by
planting himself solidly in the world,
sometimes upon other peoples toes.
hansen may be taken as another incar-
nation of the same qualities; and we re-
gard him with a similar feeling as he
calmly settles himself with single
companion. not on a tropical island, but
to live upon blubber and frozen bear IN
the dominions Of the old Feast Giant,
as imperturbably and confident as if he
was taking up his quarters at the best
hotel in Paris or London.
Nansen himself felt something of this
same sense of a Viking heredity as he
touched pen to the first pages of his
vivid master work. In the opening
chapter he invokes again the shades of
his daring sea-roving ancestors. The
Viking spirit has always had a slight
undertone of pessimism, as in the saga
of Baldur's death; but there is a recog-
milton of the sadness of life even in the
heaIrhiest optimist. 1t is curious. there
fore TO perceive how peculiarly rampant
the doctrine of pessimism is in modern
Scandinavian lore. Bjoernson himself,
who has accused the ScOttish-blooded
Ibsen of having imported early century
Calvinism into Norway, is not free from
the malady, although his is more Of a
political pessimism. Ibsen, on the other
hand, has depicted heredity in its dark
est cOlors. He would convince US that
all men, as quotations of their ances-
tors" are haunted by terrible ghosts.
But it is well to remember that heredity
is as often a blessing as a curse, and
that each generation has il in its power
TO transmit the blessing more and more,
and the curse less and less.

HANDLE 1T FGINGERLY.
Aldermen Go Light In the Matter of
Banks Bonds,


The aldermanico committee on ways
and means held a session yesterday
afternoon and transacted routine busi-
ness. Among other matters which were
laid over was the bond of the State
bank, the resolution requiring bonds
men on city bank bonds to qualify be-
fore a judge of the district court, and
the resolution of Aid. Kenny, directing
an investigation as to the placing of
the responsibility for the depositing of
city funds in banks where there had
been no bonds given. AS to the bond
Of the State bank the committee claim
ed to know nothing about the stand
Ing of the bondsmen and wanted time
to investigate.
The. resolution requiring bondsrnen
on bank bonds, where city funds were
deposited, to qualify before a Judge of
the district court, was, on recommended
ton of the city attorney laid on the
table. The legal department expressed
the opinion that the. judges could not
be required to take up this scheme, as
the charter placed the matter In the
hands of the council @- ~ "~2
The. resolution of Aid Kenny, asking
for an investigation as to by what
right the financial officers Of the city
deposited funds In banks where there
had been no bonds given, was pigeon
holed. The committee was of the opin-
ion that 1T would do no good at this
point to agitate the matter 1t was
explained that the resolution passed
by the council directing that no money
be placed in banks unless a bond had
been given and approved was all right
in theory, but it did not let the coun-
ell out of the responsibility in the mat
ter. To investigate as to why the fin
ancial officers paid NO attention to the
instructions might be bad policy, in
that 1t would reflect on the officials
now handling the financial affairs of
the city.
