THE WAYS OF GENIUS.
Physical Weakness Marked Many of
the Worlds Greatest.

Of certain peculiarities of genius
DR.. Andrew Wilson writes at is no
uncommon thing to find your genius
a physically weak man. 1t is not

we have in our minds eye as repre-
sentative of the usual type of the
genius. Contrariwisc, most of them
have been weakly and many ailing.

Milton. Gibbons, Newton and Sam

marked Keats. Priestley, Sterne and
Black for its own. The phthisical
series are noted to be of restless dis
position, eager and fevcrishly active,
while the equity type is more mas
sivc. with patient energy, slowly but
surely dominating its task We can
make pictures of Keats and the great
photographer as illustrative of this
contrast.
NERVOUS ailments, ecccntricity of
manner and defects of speech have
also to be rcckoncd with when the
physical constitution of the genius
falls to be considered. There are
records of defects of speech, for in
stance, of stamincring and of awk-
ward or spasmodic movements of
the limbs. There are also to be
noted frequent sight alteration and
illegiblc observation-disclosures as
regards the latter feature genius is
by no means nccdful to be evoked as
primary cause.
"Nor shall we feel surprised if
many geniuScs are tabuIatcd as of
shy, retiring nature and as of dill

marked many for its own. Little
wonder that there should be some
want Of relationship between the
genius and the ordinary world, fol

THE WORLDS OLDEST CITY.
It Is Bismya, in Asia, South of Ancient
Babylon.

Edgar j. Banks. professor of the
Turkish language in the University
Of Chicago, arrived, says the Baltl-
more News, was the guest of the
Woman's College of Baltimore,
here recently, where he is to deliver
two lectures.
"The Oldest City in the World"
about which DR., Banks spoke, is
the ancient city of Bismya,
in Asia, which lies somewhat south
of Babylon. DR.. Banks was HIM
self in charge of the excavations of
this prehistoric ruin, having been
sent by the University of Chicago
as director of the oriental research
party. For two years the research
party works in Babylon and ASsyria,
and for two years in Egypt, success
lively From his long period of resi-
dcnce in these countries and his own
personal work in the matter, DR.,
Banks has fund AZ historical
knowledge and graphic incidents of
life in the orient.
"Pcrhaps the most interesting
find in Bismya, the Oldest city in
the world" said DR.. Banks, is al
statue of David. 1t has been proved
that this piece Of sculpture belongs
to the Sumarian dynasty. and is the
most ancient statue known to be in
existence"
When asked what had become Of
the statue, DR., Banks rc1'.cd that
thr Turkish government kept Il firm
grip on everything found on or in
Turkish soil. The strictrst sort of
surveillance is exercised over for
rign excavators that not single
piece of ancient ruins may be taken
from the country.
The David. | am sorry to say,
is in the Turkish museum at Con-
stantinoplc,' said DR.. Banks. But,
despite the stringent laws and the
strict watch over the workers cXer-
cised by the government. DR. Banks
had TO admit that an cxcavator sell
dom left the country without hav-
ing smugglcd something through.
Exactly how old the oldest city
is, it would be difficult to say. Writ
ten records have been found in the
ruins which actually date back TO
1000 B. c.

LIGHT FROM SUGAR.

\ phenomenon, the cause Of
which has not vet been satisfactorily
explained, was recently observed by
4 government scientist during the
course of certain experiments.
Disks Of loaf sugar were mounted
on lathe and rapidly rotated while
a hammer played lightly against
them. An almost continuous radia-
ton Of light was thus produced
from the sugar. II was shown that
the light did not arise from heating
of the sugar, and it is believed to
have been caused by some change
taking place in the sugar crystals.
The act Of crystallization is known
to be sometimes accompanied by
flashes of light. The practical bear
ing Of these experiments is on the
question Of the possibility of obtain
ing artificial light by methods as yet
untried.

A POOR JUMPER.

Little Dixon, aged three, had just
learned that famous nursery rhyme,
"Hi diddle, diddle," and electrified
his mother one night by exclaiming,
as he stood gazing in wonder at the
new moon which had just risen:
"Ooo-oo-oo, mamma, just look !"
"What is it, dear?" said she.
"Why," he answered in amaze
ment, that old COW has gone an
kicked a piece right out of it. p

she had apparently laid them. Ihefe
are no marks of violence on The BODY
and the coroner reports that it is prob
ably case of suicide. The halr is
dark streaked with gray.
The body was taken to the morgue.

appearance of the body, that it has been
Ill the water only over night.

daughter, Miss Ada Jackman, at 46l
Milwaukee street. had been sick since
January, when she came from Mount

III and wanted to take a walk. Appar-
entity she went to Whitefsh bay, where
the body was found this morning.

iility of suicide; that her mothers MIND
was perfectly clear, and she does not
agree with the coroner's theory.

children. Miss Ada Iackman of MilWau-
Eee, Mrs William Carr of Eagle. WIS:

ASHLAND, Wis, July 1.-[Spe-
cial. 1.-The census of the Chippewa In
dams of the five reservations of the La
Pointe agency, including all of the Chip
pewas in Wisconsin and those in Min
nesota excepting those on the Nett Lake
reservation, has been completed, showing
the total to be 5,OS1, divided as fol-
lows:

Population Doubled at Odanah.
To these should be added the so-called
lost tribe of Wisconsin, recently added
to the La Pointe agency, comprising 100
souls, near Rice Lake, Wis. There has
been little increase during the past III,
teen years, excepting at Odanah (Bad
River which has nearly doubled III pop
ulation probably owing tc the prosperous
condition of these Indians. Many OF the
additions are Canada ChippeWas, VINO

Pine Brings Them Big Sums.
Two wears ago, since which time no
statement has been issued, there was Oh
deposit in the banks of Hudson, Ashland
credit of the Indians, whose pine. mas
been cut under government supervision,
as follows: Bad River. $780, 900: Red
Cliff, S96666: Lac du Flambeau. S!o,-
500: Courte Orreilles, SI4,6OO. during
the past two years, these amounts nave
been largely increased by the SAFE OIL
pine, the amount now being fully three
quarters of a million of dollars.
Allowed But Little Money.
Under the department rulings, the In
dams are only allowed amounts cover
ing their actual needs, or for necessary
improvements They are allowed not
to exceed $40 per month each, and are
treated strictly as wards OF the govern
mvnt. But a new order of things IS
coming. Nearly every Indian at Odanah
is a voter in the state and county cleo
tons of Ashland county, Attorney Gen
eral Gilbert has decided that they are
amenable to the game laws and the
courts are deciding that Indians are cltl-
zens and amenable to all of the laws.
May Get More Freedom Soon.
They can no longer be barred from
saloons. but get drunk the same as
white men, and the final step is near
when they will be allowed to spend
their own money. A large number OF
suits are now pending in the state and
federal courts for this three-quarters of
a million dollars, and when the Indians
get it there will be high times until the
white men get the money, and then the
state will have a problem to MAINTAIN
the destitute Indians.

Haru-Ko is not only woman of great

the hospitality of daimio, who gave

suite were far from comfortable. But
when the empress heard that the people
were plying her, she replied by charm

luxury of life is of little consequence to
me, for one dwelling only | crave-the
hearts of the people," And her desire
has been realized.
