THE POWER OF LENSES.


Manufacturers of lenses and oti:er
optical goods rate the power of opera
glasses, spy glasses, telescopes, etc. by
the number of diameters they magnify.
A glass that makes an object look twice
it's real size IL said to magnify two
diameters.' That Is, 1t spreads the OBJ
ject out to twice it's normal size in all
directions.
Really this makes it cover four times
the surface 1t naturally does, and so
sometimes such a glass is said to mag
nifty four times." In. the same way a
glass that magnifies 20 ''diameters''
win magnify 400 "times." and one that
magnifies 100 diameters will magnify
10000 times. for the surface covered is
OF course proportional to the square OF
the diameter.
Ordinarily opera glasses do not mag
nifty very much. for they are intended
for use on objects that are compare
lively near by. They usually magnify
two to five diameters. Small spy
glasses and telescopes magnify usually
10 or - diameters. It takes a fairly
good telescope to magnify 20 diameters,
and with such a glass you can easily
see the moons OF Jupiter. rings of Sat
urn, etc.
Contrary to the popular belief. the

though you yourself may not know
you are one. you are afflicted by the
forgetting habit.
Men illustrious in poetry and art
have frequently been me1anch0lic.
'sThe tendency to melancholy is COM
mon to the majority of thinkers says
LOmbro6o. The man of genius feels
sorrow more than any other man. The
poet Goethe. who had the physique
of giant and who never knew poverty
as did many other poets. was never
theless unhappy. He fs credited with
saying that In all his life he did not
pass more than four pleasant weeks.
His moods constantly passed from ex-
Robert Burns existence was poisoned
for him by an ''incurable taint of mel
ancholia." The poet Schiller during q
spell of melancholfa was once suspect
cd Of being insane. George Sand suf-
fered streaks of melancholy which
nearly drove her to suicide.
Suspicion is another characteristic
Of genius. Men of genius often mis-
interpret the acts Of others and think
that they are being prosecuted. They
are often timid- and backward. They
have a tendency to doubt themselves.
They have no confidence in them
selves. Many things which to the or
dinary man are trifles appear to the
genius as insurmountable difficulties.
He fumes and frets over them. Th0m-
as CaFlYl0 was lnVaI1aOlY put out Oy
the idea of ordering a coat or buying
gloves. Ernest Renan had his irritA-
bility aroused by omnibuses. He was
under the delusion that conductors re-
fused ta regard him seriously and that
on trains he was always given the
worst place.
Pride 10 a well-known characteristic
Of genius. In almost every circle there
IL q person who is frequently made fun
of because he is considered stuck up"
characteristic which IL labeled stuck
up" Is In reality Observation-Disclosures
sion Of grandeur-with which genius
il often afflicted. The great poet
Dante was despised by his contempor-
aries because he considered himself
superior to them. Victor Hugo was
the greatest poet and the greatest man
Of all ages The philosopher Hegel
believed he was divine.
There are many physical character
istics by which genius, even though

opportunity from blossoming forth.
can be discovered. According to Lom-
brosso smallness of the body charac-
terixed a great many men OF genius.
Horace was extremely small of
stature Alexander the Great was
great only as a conqueror. Physical
~ he was puny. The philosophers
Plato, Aristotle and Epictetus were all
small in body. Among modern men

There are diseases that seem to be
characteristic OF genius. The most
common of these il rickets. Scott,
Byron, Pope and q host Of other Ia
nous men suffered from this disease.
Genius has a color all its own. Pal
lor has been called the color Of great
men. Many men Of genius are ex-
tremeIy thtn-in fact. emaciated.
Voltaire In an instance. Aristotle.
Cicero and Napoleon were thin in
their younger years. Many men OF
genius have been sickly all during
their childhood. In this class fall the
Locke. tho historian Renan. the econ
omist Adam Smith. Many great men
had 1esions of the brain. Many men
who did not manifest any special ap-
titudes became geniuses after their
brains had been injured by an acci-
dent.
A common characteristic OF mon of
genius il stammering. Virgil, Eras-
mus. Ma1herbe. Lamb, Darwin and
many other giants Of thought have
been stammerers.
When your little son or 9 years of
age goes on into corner by himself
and sits silently meditating or per-
haps scribbling something do not
scold or punish him. Better watch
him, study him. Hes may have the
spark of genius in him. Precocity is
one of the characteristics of great
ness. When 3 years of age Dante
wrote sonnets. Tasso wrote poetry at
10. Pascal and C0mto were great
thinkers at the age of Is. A story in
seven languages was written by
Goethe when he was not yet 10. The
German poet sWieland meditated-. an
epic poem at 13. Byron wrote verses
at IL.
Similarly when the boy of II or 18
shows signs of restlessness, when he
fails to stick to his work-work often
prescribed for him by others-he
should not be termed indOlent. He
should not be branded as q good-for-
nothing. The young boys desire to
travel, to go out into the world, may
be q symptom of genius. vagabond-
age is characteristic Of great men.
Men of genius love to wander. This
love for wandering in the case Of the
german poet Heinrich Heine has Civ

was vagabond. And it IL to this
spirit of vagabondage that English
literature is indebted to him Tor THE
