The Caldwell watchman. (Columbia, La.) 1885-1946, 1911-02-03

back to life after his long sleep, dazed,
perhaps, perplexed and confused, but
still manifesting the energies of his
kind, there was a man-babe-a man in
stature, but helpless as though newly
born. The cry had changed to the
harsh bass of mans vocal chords.
But the eyes, as though they had
opened for the first time upon the
light, stared and winked meaningless
ly, and there was no power of co-ordi-
nation in the muscles of the limbs,
that moved senselessly, while the
hands, doubled and clenched as a
baby's, stretched out toward the elec-
trio BULB, as though striving to take
hold of it. We three stood, staring
and helpless, at the thing that we had
made.
do not know how long we stood
there; so long that the monotony of
the cry had paralyzed our sense of
hearing. think it was it's sudden
cessation that released us all from the
spell which held us. Then whis-
pered to Brodsky:
1T is learning!"
For some sense of coordination was
coming into the limbs. The creature
raised itself upon its elbows, it
floundered helplessly, something in
the manner of fish flung upon a
bank; and suddenly it toppled out of
the case and rolled on the table, bal
anced for a mouaent on the edge of
the slate, and fell to the ground. Then,
with its newly developed sense of loco
motion, it crawled, infant-like, until
it clutched at the professors knees,
raised itself, and stood upright for
the first time, gripping the edge of the
table. And it looked upon us vacantly.

SIMPLY ACCIDENT OF BIRTH
German Scientist Upsets Theories az
to Genius-Oenies That II Is
Hereditary.

Prof. Wilhelm OSWALD, an eminent
German scientist, declares that "geni.
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 term Of
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 mechanical work, another
at picking pockets. If it means apt.
ness, it is the handmaiden of prac-
tice, generally; if it means power and
ability successfully applied to the &C.
complishment of wonderful and help
full things, it is the slave Of bard
work and rigid attention to the same
nothing more or less.
Genius never accomplished any
thing much in this world merely be-
cause of it's existence therein. 1t Is
like a grand piano-pregnant with
magnificent possibilities in the hands
of one who has learned through years
of toll and application how to get the
soulaspiring 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 it known.
So 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 hard work.
To call it IAN accident of nature" is
to belittle 1t and undignify it. What

False Teeth and Spirits

1t is an iconoclastis age, indeed,
when q Chicago detective shakes set

false teeth out of the mouth of the
alleged spirit Of his grandfather at .
seance. One of the chief sources Of
resignation to the necessity Of leav-
ing this world for another has been
the assumption that the petty Ills our
flesh Is heir to are to be laid aside in

on the other shore it must be because
he has to use them, in which case
they would eventually wear out and
require replacing. The inference is
not that there are no spirits, but that
there are spirit dentists.
