some upright mummy case, beautiful
ly carved The air was redolent with
spices
But what attracted and fscinated
me was a long table in the center Of
the hall. It was not unlike a billiard
table, In appearance, except that the
top was level with its edges It's sur
face was composed of slate, and IT had
been set level with scrupulous care,
as was evidenced by the little bead
within the spirit level, that stood pre-
cisely in the center Of the glass tube
Upon this was a magnificent mummy
case, into each end Of which had been
fitted a very modern handle of brass
Now, sir" said the professor to
Brodsky, IF you will stand at this
end and take the handle l will show
you our friend Sesostris."
The two men took their positions,
the one at the head. the other at the
foot Of the case. and, with some diff
ficulty, they raised the lid. I started
forward, but remained rooted to the
spot in establishment, not unmixed
with admiration
Within the case, lying as though
asleep, was the mummy of a man.
Mummy, / say; and yet, save for the
parchment-like appearance Of the skin,
which chung tightly to the bones, and
the absence of the tissue, one might
have thought that he slept. The eyes.

through time, much as, although we
in the carriage think the fields ara

are passing them The matter is a
little difficult TO explain, but let me
offer you an analogy Picture human

certain point of vision. II appears out

past yesterday, or may crawl past in

from the unknown and disappeared; he
changed from youth to age, as the
snake changes from head to tail, ta-

US take comfort in the thought that,
even as with Sesostris, with you and
with me, no human life is purposeless;
and If we cannot understand the final
cause of things we know that all will
be well with u.s."

SIMPLY ACCIDENT OF BIRTH
German Scientist Upsets Theories az
to GeniVs-Denies That 1t Is
Hereditary.

Prof. Wilhelm OSWALD, an eminent
German scientist, declares that gent
us is an accident of nature" He de-
MES that great talent or conspicuous
ability is hereditary-at least, in any
marked or conclusive degree.
The truth is, genius is a term OF
very great elasticity II is relative,
and so, it means one thing here and
another thing yonder. One man is
genius at figures, another at writing,
another at mechanical work, another
at picking pockets. If 1t means apt
ness, 1t is the handmaiden Of pCac-
tice. generally; if it means power and
complishment of wonderful and help
full things, 1t is the slave of hard
work and rigid attention to the same

Genius never accomplished any.
thing much in this world merely be-
cause of its existence therein. It is
like a grand piano-pregnan with
magnificent possibilities in the hands
of one who has learned through years
of toll and application how to get the
soul-aspiring 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 to get startling
results from subtle manipulation of
a handsaw and file. The basic prin.
ciple underlying both is the same
Identical. Genius is not within the
piano. nor yet within the handsaw and
file. They are instruments through
which it may be made manifest; the
genius is in the man, and is to be
revealed only through the piano and
the handsaw. because the man has
labored to learn how he may truly
make 1t known.
Sc We get back where some philoso
pher-Mark Twain, perhaps-started
US; and we must admit the approx
mate truth of the contention that
genius is. after all, merely a4rd work.
To call it IAN accident Of nature Is
to helittle it and undignify 1t. What
