TransmissibiIity of Genius.

The sale of relics of Robert and
Elizabeth Browning by executors of
the estate of their son, the late Robert
Weidemann Barrett Browning, which
began May l, again calls attention to
the fact that the child of union SO
richly lowered, from the literary
and artistic standpoint, failed to show
traces of the genius of either parent
He was an artist, but did nothing ex-
traordinary. 1t would almost seem
that genius not only has way OF
sometimes consuming its possessor
but also of consuming itself, as far
as the immediate offspring are con-
cerned. At any rate, the evidence as
to its transmissibilty is still lacking
although, of course, there are plenty
of facts to justify belief as to the
transmissibility of special talents.
