Can Genius
Be Cultivated


Is it possible to build up the human
race by the same process of selection
that farmer raises superior breed OF
sheep or a herd OF cattle?
Francis Galton, an English scientist,
who has just been awarded the Huxley
medal by the Anthropologica Society
of London, maintains that this can be
done. incidentally he has devised an
ingenious scheme for 81 ending other
peoples money.
Mr.. Galton proposes that rich men
contribute to endowment funds for
young couples who are above the aver
age pair physically and mentally. BY
this process, Mr.. Galton argues, the
human race would tend toward genius
rather than mediocrity.
1T might easily become an avowed
object of noble families" says Mr.. Gal
ton. ito gather fine specimens of hui
manity round them, just as 1t was to
produce fine breeds of cattle and so
forth, which were costly in money but

Vnloads Ore Ships
Machinery Now Reduces the
Labor and Cost

The use of steam shovels at some of
the large iron mirss in the Lake Su-
perior region in loading cars at the
mines has long been an important ele-
ment in reducing the cost of iron ore.
The handing of the ore in this manner
years ago reached n degree Of perfec-
tion that is almost incredible. A rec.
ground and loaded by one machine in
nine hours indicates what may be done
under favorable conditions. OF course
this achievement is not usual and II
would be unfair to gauge seasons
work by this record. The average out
put Of each shovel per day. working
in open pits and dumping the ore di-
rectly into the cars, is about 1900 TO
1000 tons, costing from 10 TO 10 cents
ton to mine and load. II was long.
however, before great expedition and
economy were secured in unloading the
ore ships after their arrival at the re-
ceiving ports of Lake Erie. This prob
lem has been solved at last, machin-
cry having supplanted to a large extent
the hand labor which formerly filled
the ore buckets. Ore handling appli-
ances now remove the ore from the
vessel at a minimum of expense. At
Conneaut. on Lake Erie. for instance.
a 6,000-ton ship may now be cleared OF
its ore in fourteen hours. A load of ore
arriving at that port may be delivered
at the furnaces of Pittsburg in twenty
eight hours after the arrival of the YES
sci. A steam shovel in operation there
loads thirty-five to forty cars with ore
In two hours. The machine for un-
loading vessels weighs about 400 tons,
has height of 55 feet and is mounted
on wheels, so that it is moved along
the dock as it unloads one part after
another of the vessel. The clamshell
bucket which scoops up the ore has
a spread of 10 feet, takes out ten tons
Of ore at time and discharges it di-
rectly into railroad cars or through a

Give Us the Shilling.

If the government will restore the
Fine-Tree shilling it will save many
OF us financially and morally. The
shilling of New York and North Caro-
lima is what we need in the shape OF
subsidiary coin. 1t was worth twelve
and a half cents. When two of any
thing are worth a quarter the charge
for one is fifteen cents. With twelve
and half cent piece we would save
two and half cents every time we
made such a purchase. A fifteen cent
piece would be in the way. We tried
a twenty cent piece for three years and
retired it because it was too nearly
the size of the quarter. In the rush
business 1t was often worked off for
the quarter. The five cent nickel Is
fit only for paying fares on elevated
roads and surface lines. Copper cents
are useful for buying newspapers and
fooling women into the belief that they
are securing tremendous bargains at
80 cents. Yes; this two-for-a-qu
business is an outrage. Give us a coin
to halve the quarter-eight to the dol
lar. Then see us lay up treasure

It's capacity ranges under ordinary con-
ditions, from $50 to 300 tons per hour.
1t reduces the labor employed IS per
cent, only six men being necessary for
the operation of each machine. Three
men are in the hold to clean up the
ore which the machine cannot reach
and the other three are engaged in cp-
Grating the machine. The entire cost,
including the wages OF workmen and
engineers, is 20 cents ton for remov-
ing the ore from vessels and deposit
ing IL on railroad cars ready for trans
porta,ion to the furnaces. This ma
chine has been introduced at most Of
the ore receiving ports, including
South Chicago. II has brought about

''As Improvement OF the race would
consist in increasing the productivity
OF the best stock, enthusiasm to attain
that end might express itself by grant
ing diplomas TO select class OF young
men ana women, by encouraging their
intormarriage, and promoting the early
marriage of girls of that high class"
BY an intricate mathematical celcu-
lation Mr.. Galton has proved to his
own satisfaction that the value to the
human race Of every child may be esti-
mated by figures and set down In the
book Of the town clerk. Philanthrop!sts
like Mr.. Carnegie, for instance, can
take note. and endow likely couples ac-
cordingly. The books will be open TO

the system would lie a great aid to
young people In choosing life partners.
There are two difficulties in the way,

facts. from his figures. The ctter is
to persuade young persons to act upon
them.

Unless you have a longer than ordi-
nary lease of life there is little hope
that you will live to shake hands with
visitor from Mars.
The fascinating possibility Of COM
munication with this much-talked of
planet has been given solar pleXus
blow by the eminent astronomer, Sir
Robert Ball, now lecturing in this
country.
The likelihood of signaling to Mars
has been so often discussed and inter-
twlned with such a network of ro-
nance and speculation that Sir Rob
ert Balls plain statement that 1t is an
impossibility is causing a popular sem
sation.
1t is his array OF figures that makes
Sir Roberts argument impressive.
Mars, he points out, is one hundred
and fifty times as far away as the
moon, and il is difficult enough to get
accurate information about the sur
face of the moon. Any building on
earth would have to be at least one
hundred and fifty times as long and
as broad as it is before an inhabitant
Of Mars. with as powerful a tele-
scope as we have on earth today,
might happen to see it even IL he were
looking in this direction and the at
mosphere were unusually clear.
Using the modern methods Of mill
tary signaling with flags, it would re-
quire q flag at least 300 miles long, 200
miles wide attached to a pole 500
miles long, to be waved to and fro be-
fore an inhabitant Of Mars looking
through his spyglass would be i'm
pressed with the idea that there was
anything unusual going on. Or, If the
imagination could conceive of Lake
Superior filled with petroleum and set
on fire, the great blaze might appear as
a speck Of light to an inhabitant of
Mars who happened to see 1t.

FORCE OF IMAGINATION.
Frequent Changes In tho scif-Diagnosls

OF Dyspeptic.
Scientists have made the conten-
tion that man can think so intently
that he has a red spot on his hand at
a certain point that the spot will
actually show up at exactly that
point, said a studious citizen yester-
day, "and have come to the conclu-
sion that there is something in the
contention. Down at my boarding
house there ia d dyspeptic, and he
rooms next TO me. His ailment
changes every time he reads a new
natent medicine advertisement in n
street car, on n signboard, or in the
newspapers, where any of the symp-
toms of the ailment appear in the ad-
vertisement. He changes his diagno-
sis of his case every time he reads n
new advertisement, and his mind
seems to concentrate on the particular
symptoms which fare out in the ad-
vertisemont. | read some years ago
that these gaudy advertisements were
disseminators of complaints of vari-
Gus kinds, but. of course, there was
nothing in that, even II one can pro-
duce a red spot on ones hand by sim
ply thinking intently that it is there.
But, getting back to my dyspeptic
friend. he has suffered all the tortures
of the everlastingly tormentcd on ac-
count of the fact that he simply classi-
iies his own ailments according to the
symptoms which are put forth in the
advertisements of remedies OF various
kinds for various and widely differ
ent ailments. Here is n curious study
In psychology. | understand this to
be one of the peculiarities of the dys-
peptic, and for the reason that when
this complaint becomes chronic the
whole system becomes threaded with
aches and pains. One may find in

every known disease and if one may
not find the symptoms well defined
one may easily imagine all that is
lacking to make the diagnosis COM

cary shop is not fuller of bottles than

The so-called canals" on Mars, dis
credited as such of late years, are, ac-
cording to Sir Robert, canals after all.
He says that they are not the work
of nature, because nature does not
work on straight lines. These canals,
with the assured existence of arctic
and tropical regions, Sir Robert said,
are indications that human life is eX-
istent on Mars. No permanent water
and no river can be disoernsd in
Mars. What astronomers see are
straight lines, or rather lines falling
in straight circles along the globe.
These are undoubtedly canals in a
great strtc Of development. 1t is not
known that these canals carried off
the ice and snow that melted during
the summer season, but 1t is fact
that the observation of the canals is
clearer at the season OF the year when
it may be assumed that the snow and
ice are melting.

Agents welcome to the Duke.

Great preparations were made in all
Of the Canadian cities for the reception
to the Duke of York on his recent Wis
it to that country. In Toronto the
scheme of decoration included waving
banners which flew from poles set in
barrels of sand, all along the course
to be taken by the welcoming troops
and the Duke. These barrels had been
painted bright red, and had been
placed in their proper positions when
the advance agent for theatrical COM
pany came along. The company was
playing Faust" with q well-known
actor as Mephistopheles, and their ad-
vertising was of a sensational kind.
The advance man realized that the
bright barrels made excellent stands on
which to paste his bills, and he pro-
ceeded to use them for that purpose
In consequence, on the following
morning the city awoke to find each
barrel bearing a startling announce
ment, THE Devil Is Coming" Every
one gasped and exclaimed, what a
greeting for the Duke!" Then the good
people of Toronto turned to with a
will, removed the Objectionable
"snipes' and scrubbed the barrels.
while the enterprising advance agent
suddenly discovered pressing reasons
for jumping Immediately to the next
town.-New York Press.
