musing on the difference between genius

Oh, dear, no! Genius Is by far the
superior-it is more spontaneous, less de-
pendent, and not amenable to training.
And yet while 1t is capable Of taking
care of itself, those possessing It who
have achieved greatest success have usu-
ally combined with It tireless industry.

War Pictures at the Playhouse.

The Playhouse announces that next Fri
day and Sunday evenings. James F. ].
Archibald will lecture there on the va
rious wars and uprisings with which
he has been associated as war CORE
spondent. He will show upon the screen
some magnificently colored stereopticon
views, made from photographs taken by
him personally during three campaigns.
1t is doubtful II there are q dozen men
alive who have seen more actual war
fare than has Mr.. Archibald, and his
photographs and stories are dramatic in
the extreme. The pictures Mr.. Archibald
has chosen for his two evenings at the
Playhouse are most timely. The sub
jects include Two Revolutions which
treat in a most thrilling manner with
the Portuguese revolution. resulting In
the overthrow OF King Manuel, and the
Albanian revolt against Turkey, which
uprising is still difficult problem to
the Turkish government. The entire pro-
ceeds for the two evenings entertain
ment will be devoted to the entertain
ment fund Of the Playhouse.

RUSSIANS WELCOME
WAR SHIPS COMING
Admiralty Fears Humilia.
tiOn Before Vessels.

st. Petersburg, April 22.-The proposal
from Washington that an American
squadron shall visit the Baltic and also
call at Libar Is welcomed much more
by the public than by the Russian adj
miralty. g..
1t Is understood that the proposal has
not yet been definitely answered, because
the caliber Of the visiting war ships
might place the Russian navy in open
humiliation in its own waters. One paper
states that America intends to send super
Dreadnoushts with ffteen-inch guns. The
Russian naval authorities would prefer
something more in the nature of training
ships.
