Are Men of Genius Degenerates?

The theory. of Lombroso, that genius
is a form of degeneration, is opposed in
the Revue des Deux Mondes" paris,
June,) by NJ. G. Valbert. After telling us
that the Italian scientist has passed
his life in searching for and discovering
cruel TRUTHS the critic goes on as fol-
lows:
The last of his Gombroso's discov-
cries is perhaps the most alarming, and
he speaks of it with relish. 1t is with
true enjoyment that he endeavors to
persuade us that if alcoholics, criminals,
cretins and deaf mutes are degenerates,
the great men are their cousins german,
that genius is a sort of degenerative
Ipsychosis, belonging to the family of the
epilepsies.
'Lombroso believes that, after ALL his
theory has it's consoling side; there
Genes to its aid the system of compensa-
tions, which has decreed that every ad-
vantage that is acquired shall have ITS
drawback and that every gain shall be
accomplished by a loss. The reptiles,
says Lombroso. have more functions
than we, the monkeys have a greater
number of muscles and an entire organ
the tail, that we lack. Only by losing
these advantages have we gained our in
tenectual superiority The man who
succeeds in convincing himself that his
mind would fall suddenly to lower
scale if he had a tail, quickly consoles
himself for not having one, and When we
show that genius is a psychosis, we re-
concile to their lot all minds that are
mediocre or less mediocre

The English Rothschilds.

The greatest financial genius of the
Rothschild family, though there have
been many of great talent, was Ma
than Mayer, of the second generation,
who established the house of n. M.
Rothschild & Co., in 1893. in London.
He flew to the stars, and grovelled in
the mud for money. He welcomed all
transactions, big or little, whereWith
to turn the bankers penny. He was
the most daring Spectator of his time
on the Stock Exchange. and the most
successful. He had carrier-pigeons and
fast-sailing boats to bring him the ear
lest news from the war centers of Eu-
rope, and so help him to manipulate
stocks He followed Wellington's
army to Waterloo in person. and had
relays of the swiftest horses, and a
fast yacht lying in the harbor at Os-
tend. So he arrived at the London
Stock Exchange, after the battle,
twelve hours ahead of any public an
nouncement of the victory, and made
$4,000, coo by one of the most tremen-
dOus series of speculations in history.
In 1910, when the Duke of Wellington,
then commanding in Spain, drew on
the English Government for E3, 600, 600
and the English treasury was short
Nathan bought the drafts at big dis
count and at once sent the money. The
stories about this remarkable man are
almost endless and show how strangely
he was alike equal to the most tremen-
dous schemes and the pettiest tricks of
avarice.-Harper's Round Table.

SHARP DECLINE IN WHEAT AT
SAN FRANCISCO.
Barley Easier, Both for Spot Feed
and on Speculative Account
Dat Market Firm.
San Francisco, Aug 24th.

san FRANCISCO, aug l4lH.
The week under review has been a
notable one in wheat circles. Prices,
both for spot and futures, reached the
highest points touched in several years.
A reaction has now set in, and, follow
ing the course Of sharp declines at Chi
cago, the local market has gone down
rapidly. At the moment spot quota
lions are entirely nominal, as on such a
market there is very little trading in the
sample market; all is doubt as to the
exact value of the article, and until
matters are more settled prices will re-
main nominal. On the strength oil the
rise in wheat the millers few days ago
advanced the price of flour 2oc per bar
rel. Barley is easier, both Tor spot 1eed
and on speculative account; brewing mas
ouieted down considerably; for few
DAYS exporters were liberal buyers, but
the foreign demand seems to have been
satisfied and the market IS quiet; me
oat market is firm, although trading is
rather limited caused by uncertainty as
to how abundantly the new crop vii.
yield; indications are for large crop;
fined largely to Eastern goods, there
being scarcely any native goods here;
the market is quiet, though firm. Rye
is steady at the, quotations; the demand
is quite steady. Prices have undergone
no changes during the week; the market
is amply supplied, yet not excessively
demand is good Bran and middlingS
rule firm.
Potatoes have ruled firm, with the ex-
ception of a couple OF days. Receipts
have been quite liberal, but the demand
has been good, and there is no great ac-
cumulation. Onions have about followed
the course of potatoes. Tomatoes start
ed the week in good shape, but the mar
ket is now heavily supplied and is weak.
The corn supply has been ample to meet
all demands, and has ruled fairly steady
There is a little more inquiry for APP
pies to-day, but prices do not improve
medium grades are plentiful. Ounces
bring soc per box. Raspberries are scarce
at the moment and fancy prices are be-
ing paid; there will be more in a few
days Catalogues have been a drug; on
the wharf prices have ranged from 2C
to 40 cents per crate; store prices are
higher. Good figs bring the quoted price
but some of the figs sent here are worth
nothing. Grapes are in better demand.
Red nectar'nes are scarce and whites are
not wanted. Watermelons have ruled
nGm, but are now weaker; receipts ar.
sale. A car arrived from Winters yes
terday. Good peaches and pears are do
ing better
Butter has declined a fraction; there
| is slight accumulation of fresh goods
as the demand is running pretty much
to picked goods. There IS an easier
feeling in eggs and some houses do not
quote over 24c for best ranch; the large
number of Oregon and Eastern eggs now
on the market interferes greatly with
the sale California
