Men of Genius.

Havelock Ellis studies of the origin
and habits Of the British men of gen.
ius show that most came from bust
ness life, many from good families, -
so-called. and few from the clerical
profession. OF 1O3 men of eminence in
ten centuries thirteen were the sons
of carpenters, five of shoemakers, five
of weavers and four of blacksmiths.
Browning's father was a clerk. and SC
was Bradlaugh's; Turner's was a bar
Der. Carlyle's a mason, Huxley's a
schoolmaster, Keats a livery-sta BILE
man, Knox's a peasant, Wolsey's a
grazier and Whitfield's an innkeeper.
Men of genius are long-lived. OF
those on Mr.. Ellis list more died be-
tween sixty-five and seventy-five than
in any other period. Those living be-
yond seventy-five numbered 230, those
beyond eighty 100. and twenty lived
past ninety.
A genius is not often an only son;
he is more likely to spring from a
large family. Nor is he often the son
of distinguished father He is some
times a tall man. Twenty-six in
stances are cited of great men who
were six-footers and over. Among
them are Darwin, Millais, Sir Walter
Scott, Tennyson, Borrow, Thackeray
and Fielding.

Railroad Progress.

The heavier rails, stronger bridges
and more powerful locomotives requir-
ed in American railroads by the pres
ent demands of traffic have resulted
in the practical rebuilding of the
trunk roads during the past ten years.
In the words of H. L. Stone, writing
in the Wrld's Work. "most of the
equipment of a decade ago is now in
the scrap heap"
A single locomotive new does work
once calling for three. Passenger
trains of sixteen cars are not unusual.
A through freight" average eighty
cars, and on shorter runs one engine
sometimes hauls no. In 1892 the aver
age weight of a passenger locomotive.
with tender, was about seventy five
tons. The latest type of locomotives,
with tender, for the same service.
weighs more than 142 tons. Only ten
years ago the famous No. 999 of the
New York Central, exhibited at the
Chicago worlds fair, was looked upon
as a marvel in size and speed; yet it
weighed only 102 tons, as against the
$50 tons of the present passenger TN
CINE.
In the same year the average weight
OF a freight locomotive was eighty
five tons. The largest type of COM
pound freight engine weighs 1S1 1-2
tons, and will haul more than 1000
tons of freight.

which only the Imagination of child
could make attractive.
A fussy mother by insisting on her
small son walking properly" will often
spoil the most delightful game OF
pretend" in which the child will re-
produce as far as possible all the kick
ings and prancing of FESTIVE horse.
Thus she spoils innocent and healthy
enjoyment, and by hindering his imi-
tation of the manners and customs of
horse in his play, she discourages the
child from making use Of the faculty
of observation. faculty which once
represseI will with difficulty be reused
when needed for the practical work of
l:fe.
Toys of child's own choosing. and
very often of it's own making, are thu
best for it, and they need not be nu-
merous- A little wooden hammer was
the dearest inanimate friend of one
small boy; it was with him by night
and by day, and again and again doubt
less opened the doors of Fairyland 70
him and brought him joy beyond the
conception of his prosaic elders.
Another little childs pet toy was a
dolly made of a. .baby's vest 1t never
looked like anything but a vest to any
one but it's owner, but for all that
it was dearly loved, and it proved the
best of playfellows, for it was always
equal to being whatever it's owner de-
sired in any game of pretend"
There is no game more attractive
than that to an intelligent child, but it
is often spoiled or rendered impossible
by well-meaning but too fussy moth
ers and nurses, and then they wonder
why Tommy or Molly isn't good tenn
pered and is so difficult to amuse,

race with each other TO maintain the
equilibrium of naval power. Great
Britain believes that her safety de-
ponds upon maintaining her navy at
a strength equal to the navies of
any two nations combined; France
believes that she cannot afford to per-
NIT her navy to be less strong than
the sea power of Germany, Austria
and Italy combined: Germany, that
she must shorten the gap between the
German and French navy, and must
build ship for ship with the United
States; Russia, that she must keep up
with the procession, although the czar
personally favors, a general disarma-
ment Japans naval programme was
formulated with the present war in
view, from the moment that Russia
deprived the mikado of the fruits of
the japanese victory over China. Italy
seems to have made a temporary halt
in the ruinous business of building
battleships, but her obligations under
the Triple alliance require her to
maintain a strong navy to help Ger
many and Austria balance the strength
of France and Russia.
On the whole it is a ridiculous situa-
ton, truly. A few decades hence the
present era of battleship building will
be looked upon as one of the most re-
markable anomalies of modern civili-
cation. Not many years from now it
is to be hoped, it will be practioabl
for another John Hay to say to, the
powers of Europe; How foolish and
barbarous is this business of bank
rupting ourselves in covering the sea
with fighting craft! The people of
the United States have become so
many and powerful that all nations of
the world cannot make them afraid.
You cannot suspect our motives, there
fore, when we say to all of you, Let's
disarm!'" Beyond a doubt, the psyche
logical moment will arrive some time
when such a proposition as this from
the United States will have the cordial
support of the world. And meanwhile,
perhaps the French statesman is right
in supposing that the happy day will
be fastened by the destruction of Rus
sia's navy.

would be a more accurate and compre-
hensive title and ''Baskervillium% would
be more specific and go better with
Berzelium. But none of them are
easily adjusted to the average pro-
nouncing machinery of the human
frame. 1t is queer how deficient we are
as a people in the art of giving names.
We see this in the names of everything
from the places we live in to the dis
eases we die of, but the scientific man
in his laboratory seems to have as little
capability as any of the rest of US.

"Carolinium."

1t may be a great thing for science
that Dr. Baskerville of the University
of North Carolina, as announced the
other day, has separated thorium
into two new elements. There are those
among us who could have worried
along in the old belief that thoriurn
was like our glorious union, one and
but now that established
article of faith has been removed. so
far as thorium goes, we are ready
temporarily at least to supplant it
with this new notion. What is of
more immediate concern is the gift Of
DIR. Baskerville in the way of calling
names. He sleuths out these two new
elements and the best he can do for
them is "Berzelium," which is an EASY
one since Berzelius is the fellow who
trotted out thorium, when it all by IL
self was novelty, and "Carolinium"
against which we hereby enter a pro-
test on the ground of ambiguity. Which
kind of Carolinium is it that lives
with Berzelium? There are two Caro-
linas; we all know that because the
governors of the two states have taken
their places at the bar of history for
having invited each to a famous chem
zeal experiment that succeeded years
ago. If DR.. Baskerville has discovered
North Carolinium, he ought to specify,
and, If it's South Ca-olini,,,,o +t,o+ Co..
should be clear. Carolinium without
any geographical limitation is direct
obliteration Of state lines and invasion
OF state rights. "UnitedStatesium"

DON'T WORRY YOUR CHILDREN
Always Let Them Play in Their Own
Fashion.

Children are often made irritable and
troublesome to their too attentive and
anxious mothers. A child should b.
let alone to play and amuse itself in its
own fashion without constant direc-
tions from it's mother.
Anyone who has watched a child at
play, either boy or girl, will soon dis :
cover that a large number of it's games
are purely a matter of imagination,
and that it's pet toys are not those
which its elders would choose for it.

rise, would jump overheard aud selzo
It,, whereupon, the boatman would
stretch out the paddle for the bird to
step upon and with deyteIprs sweep
bring bird and fish on board, This
was repeated again and again, to our
amazement and admiration. When the
cormorants warmed to the work the
whole flock would spring into the
water and while swimming with the
canoe scramble for the prey The
moment one of them had secured q
prize he made for the canoe and was
taken on board. The birds must be as
highly trained as the man.
