still farther back on the shaft are

Absent Mindedncss OF Genius.

The absent mindedness of great

non. When Morse had completed
his wonderful telegraphic system he
confessed to n difficulty which ap-
peared to him almost insurmount-

he said to friend one day. 1T is
easy. But what must be done when
we come to a bridge? We cannot
use poles there. and the wire would
break OF its own weight without some
support" Well" replied the friend.
why not fix the wires to the bridge?"
Morse looked at him thoughtfully
for moment, and then exclaimed,
"I never thought OF that. It's the
very thing" This instance OF mental
concentration on one leading idea to
the exclusion OF all others is almost

That the ancients evidently pos
