But it does not follow that some
answer can not be given. The best
answer is tWofold In the drst
place. one great use of such a man
as Poincare is the stimulation
which he imparts TO the average
human being. He awakes the am
bition of the race by showing of
what IT is capable, He is the man
on the top of the apparently mac
cessible mountain, who, by his
mere presence there. shows to
others the possibility of ascending
it. He is like the late Edward
Whymper, waving his cap from the
summit of the terrible Matterhorn.
Anybody with good wind and
strong muscles can ascend the
Matterhorn now, because the way
is known
But Poincare would never have
given an impetus to his fellow be-
ings if he had not, like Newton
before him, and like all great men,
disclaimed the possession of any
superhuman power. Newton said
that all he had done seemed to him
but as the picking up of a pebble

One Has Recently Died France People Iuqu1rng
BY GARRETT P. SERVISS.

"A Paris some weeks ago to
Henri Polncare. Of whom.
probably, many readers Of these
lines have never heard. The pro-
cession to the grave was imposing.
There marched, bareheaded.
through the streets, between side
walks crowded with spectators,
most of whom also respectfully re-
moved their hats, long double line
of the most distinguished living
Frenchmen. When the grave was
reached impressive discourses were
pronounced by NJ Gusthau. who
spoke for the government and the
university; by M Claretie, who rep
resented the famous Academic
FRANCHISE; by NJ. Painleve, who was
the mouthpiece Of the Academy of
Sciences, and by many others whose
names are better known to the
public than was that Of the subject
Of their discourses.
All the newspapers were filed
with praise Of the dead man. and
all the illustrated journals printed
portraits Of him. Everybody was
assured, and the assurance was re-
peated from mouth to mouth. that
France had lost one of her great
est lights whose renown would il
lustrate the pages of her history.
Everybody felt proud because his
country had produced so mighty a
genius.
But singular fact soon became
evident, viz. that among the hun
dreds Of thousands who repeated
e. the praise Of this immense genius
hardly any one had a definite idea
of what he was or Of what he had
done They only knew that, some
how, he had been A GREAT MAN.
During his lifetime 1t was said
that there were only two or three
men in all Europe who could COM
prehend him.
It Is almost certain that among
those who pronounced eulogiums at
his tomb there was none who could
follow his work with complete un-
derstanding Most of them did not
know even the Abe Of it.
Who He Was.
For Henri Poiucare was very
great mathematician. perhaps the
greatest since Laplace and La
grange. whom Napoleon, with mis-
vast practical genius, could not an
derstand. For most people mathe-
MATES, in it's higher forms, is a
closed book
Naturally, then. after the first
sensation caused by the departure
of this great genius had died away,
the question began to be asked:
What was he good for, after all?"
The question has been asked, and
rather indefinitely answered. in
many newspapers. 1t can not be
answered by giving q list of his

ular of them. like the book on Sci

Additions to knowledge.

In the second place. the useful
ness of such a man as Poincare
consists in the actual additions
that he made to knowledge. These
additions were purely mathemati-
cal and incapable of popular ex-
PLANTATION, but there are men who
can understand them. and who.
with FHElR successors. will upon
the basis which he left, erect a new
edif1ce of science which all can en-
ter and admire. There was a time
when Newton's principal" was as
far beyond the intellectual reach Of
the average man as Poincare's
most abstruse work is today. but

it, itself, inspired, any boy in col
lege, with a mathematical gift and
proper application, can read the

In fact, it has been displaced by
more recent work, Just as Poin-
cares achievements will be super
seeded in the future.
Great men Of this stamp are the
pioneers Of the human intellect, and
happy is the country that can pro-
duce one in a century. 1t is the

fuses, whose own times hardly

TINE statement has recently
l. been made that in one year
the American people con-
tributed about seventy seven mil
lions of dollars to various fake in
vestment schemes. This means
that they dropped the money down
a hole, expecting it to rush up
again in a golden shower Instead
of that there was a group of busy
men at the other end of the hole
carrying away the precious stuff in
baskets-for they. too, have fami-
lies to support.
The seventy seven millions of the

entire annual crop. This sum was

BIG PROFIT NOW
IN MEAT CATTLE
Shortage of Beef Sends Prices
To New Record at st.
Paul
GREAT CHANCE FOR FEEDERS
Future Bright For Stock Feed
ers- Cattle Mean Richer
Farms

A record price Of $3.50 per hun
dred was recently paid for carload
of fat steers at the South st. Paul
market.
This price has never been equalled
at that market for carload lots.
Such prices for beef cattle mean that
the animals are produced at a profit
to the breeder and feeder, even at
the existing high price Of feed.
Prices to Stay High
1t is not to be expected that future
prices for well-fnished cattle will re-
main as high as this. 1t is to be ex-
pected, however, that prices will
rule high for long time to come.
This is due to the fact that there is
a big shortage Of meat-animals of all
kinds.
Severe drouth during the past two
years has made it necessary to dis
pose of a large number of breeding
cows from the ranges and farms. A
very strong demand for veal calves
has also cleared the country of a
large number of calves that should
have been retained on the farms, to
be fed for beef.
Have Made Nonou
A great many breeders have dur
ing the past winter finished cattle at
wide margin, due to the increased
price of all classes of cattle since a
year ago. This means that cattle
feeders have probably made as much
or more money, during the past win
ter, as in any previous year.
There are many instances where
farmers have received from $40 to
$50 per acre for their corn by dis
posing of it in feeding steers. This
not only means that these men made
a profit in disposing of the corn crop
but it also means that they have re-
tanned on their farms a large amount
Of fertility that otherwise would

Bright Future for Cattle Men

Bright Future for Cattle Men
1t seems safe to predict that the
future is exceedingly bright for the
feeding of beef cattle. This should
be an encouragement to beginners,
especially where it is possible for
them to produce part of the stock on
their own farms and get the cattle
onto the market at a young age.
1t is not to be expected that the
profits will be as large as they have
been during the past season; because
as feeders must be purchased, they
will command higher prices than a
year ago. But if they can be put
onto the farms, carried through the
summer on cheap pasture, and fin
isned next winter on bundle-corn
and other cheap feeds, it will mean
safe disposal of the corn crop and
will put the farm in much better
condition.
