DR. Ladame. a prominent Swiss alienist de-
1ivered an address not long ago at a meeting
of the scientific section Of the "Institut Ma
tional Genevois" His subject was the "Nlani-
festations of Artistic Ability in the Case Of the
Insane" He distinguished between those who
had been artists before their minds were af-
fected and those who became artists after
confinement in asylum. In cases of the first
kind he found that the former artistic talent
was gradually diminished, and at last disap-
Deared; but that the uncultivated insane might
be taught and might thus become orators,
painters, singers and even poets. 1t happens,
however, that in the treatment of the insane
attention is paid to giving them manual
employment and SO the intellectual and
aesthetic side Of their character is likely to be
neglected. DR.. Ladame had also q word to say
about the present tendency to regard genius as
a form Of insanity. In opposition to such
writers as Lonbroso and GrasSet he main
tained that the characteristics of genius are
quite opposed to those of insanity. The one is
f'progeDeration," the other degeneration" and
the latter Is never the parent to the former
These are welcome words. Despite the pausi-
biities of the scientists, there is something in
the spirit of man which will always be stirred
to repudiate the idea of "the insanity of
genius"
