Maine Central locomotive No. 224,
one of the engines engaged in hauling
the dirt trains in use in the Rines
hill cut came very near going over
the bank and into the river at about
O'Clock Friday afternoon, and it was
only by a narrow margin that the
catastrophe was averted. The trains
have been hauling the earth from the
cut down river as far as Gardiner but
they are now dumping on the river
bank several hundred yards below
Rines hill crossing. The locomotive
mentioned above. with number of
cars, was backing in on the outer track
when the tender left the irons and
tipped partly down over the steep
bank toward the river, and before the
train could be stopped the rear set of
driving wheels of the locomotive had
followed The track at that point Is
probably As or so feet above the water
and had the engine and tender gone
down over the bank the scrape would
have been serious one. A wrecking
train was sent down from Waterville
later and it did not take the big steel
crane a great while to place the en-
gine and its tender on the irons again.

The Man of Genius.
From the London Times.


There is no reason why we should ac-
cept a man of genius as he is any more
than any other man. If we say that the
man of genius Is what he Is and there
is an end Of it, we must say the same of
the bourgeois and the Philistine This
kind of attitude is not charity, but the
despair of utter skepticism.
No one supposes, when an ordinary
man takes to drink, that he could not
have done whatever he has done we'll
without taking to drink. We all regard
his weakness as a weakness: that Is to
say. as failure of will: and, If we are
to have any consistency. we must take
the same view of the weaknesses of a
great poet
Again, there is a common Idea that
genius is almost inevitably associated
with certain weaknesses; indeed, that
they are symptoms of genius; In spite OF
the fact that they are often found where
there is no genius and that genius is
often found without them There is no
doubt that men of creative genius are apt
to have certain weaknesses; but the
reason is that their genius puts great
strain upon the whole of their nature,
which often Is not strong enough to bear
1t.
Michelangelo must have had the physique
Of q giant; yet he suffered constantly
from overwork; and he was irritable and
suspicious just as any overworked trades
man might be. So was Beethoven: yet
both of these great men had the bour-
geois virtues and affections; and it would
he absurd to suppose that they could not
have produced their masterpieces but for
the weaknesses VIII. n were only the re-
suit OF too hard work upon those master
pieces. We might as we'll suppose that a
man who can walk sixty miles at q
stretch can only do so because OF the
fatigue that follows his feat.
