Prof. Wilhelm OSWALD, an eminent Ger
man scientist. declares that genius is an
accident Of nature" He denies that
great talent or conspicuous ability is he
reditary-at least, in any marked or con-
elusive degree.
The truth IS. genius is term az very
great elasticity. It IS relative. and SO it
means one thing here and another thing
yonder one man is a genius at figures,
another at writing, another at mechan-
teal work. another at picking pockets. If
IL mean aptness. it is the hand-maiden
Of practice. generally; if il mean power
and ability successfully applied TO the ac-
complishment Of wonderful and helpful
things. it is the slave Of hard work and
rigid attention to the same-nothing more
or less
Genius never accomplished anything
much in this world merely because Of its
existence herein. It is Ike a grand
piano-pregnant with magnificent posi-
biHty in the hands Of one who has learned
through years of toll and application how
10 get the soul-inspiring music out Of it.
but a useless thing, indeed, in the hands
Of one who knows it not Not that the
man who knows it not. moreover, may not
himself be able 70 get startling results
from subtle manipulation of a handsaw
and a file. The basic principle underlying
both is the same-ideutically. Genius is
not within the piano, nor yet within the
handsaw and the file They are instru-
ments through which it may be made
manifest; the genius is in the man, and
is to be revealed only through the piano
ana the handsaw. because the man has
labored To learn how he may truly make
il known.
So we get back where some philoso-
pher-Mark Twain. perhaps started us
and we must admit the approximate truth
Of the contention that genius is. after all,
merely hard work. To call it IAN acct
dent OF nature is TO belittle it and un-
dignity it. Whatever genius is. it is not
an accident What part heredity plays in
dinerenuaung the genius from the COM
mon run, so called, of mankind, we are
not prepared to say. But surely that
which may so positively be cultivated and
rounded into full life is no accident"

The Wreck Of the Maine.

Hearings have been held before the
House Naval Committee on the several
bills introduced in this session of Con
gress providing initial steps looking. ulti-
mately TO the raising OF the wreck of the
Maine in Havana Harbor and the removal
OF that melancholy spectacle from the
track Of commerce, to which it presents
the very practical aspect of an obstruc-
ton to navigation. This is a proposition
which has been pending for several years,
It has had the Endorsement Of the naval
officials and of those who represented this
government in Cuba.
A notable contribution 10 the official
literature on the subject was the final
report Of Gov. Magoon. on the conclusion
of his term of administration at Havana
when he took occasion to urge upon this
government such legislative action and
provision as would remove from Havana
Harbor this wreck. and SO relieve "A situ-
alton which he very properly described as
"a. national reproach and an international
scandal"
. There are three or four of these bills
which are now before the House Naval
Committee. All but one Of them are en-
Titled 10 favorable report. The exception
is one which seriously proposes 20 build
a cofferdam around the wreck, pump out
the water and then erect some sort Of d
permanent monument which shall he a
memorial 10 the dead, presumably leaving
the twisted remnant of the old Maine as
a sort of subaQuatlc sideshow. No more
offensive perpetustion of q tragic event
could be conceived. Such "a proceeding
would be. TO put il mildly. a cheap and
tawdry affair. besides giving permanence
to a structure in Havana Harbor regard
less of the wishes OF the cuban govern
ment and Cuban people If the heroic
dead of the Maine are 70 have a monu-
ment. il were better 10 have it erected
in Washington, rather than IN Havana
Harbor
There should be no two ways or looking
AZ such a simple question. there ought TO
be no occasion for further delay tn dis
charging a bounden duty. There need be
no apprehension that the raising of the
Maine is going 10 embarrass this govern
ment or cover II with the confusion OF
having disclosed to the world trat the
war with Spain was not justified. II
there are any proofs Of the real cause Of
the destruction of the Maine which are
likely TO be furnished by the raising Of
the wreck, that ought TO be an additional
argument in favor of the pending le6is-
lation. instead of urging the possibility as
the occasion of the cowardly evasion OF an

Twelve years sgo next Tuesday the
Maine was sunk in Havana Harbor by an

Il IS the duty Of this nation TO raise the
