Reserve Energy of Chastity.

investigation of the German scientist
DR.. vaerting, to have by far the best
chance of turning out distinguished
says Hayelock Ellis, in Harpers
weekly. The third son has the next
best chance, and then the second, the
comparatively bad position Of the Sec
ond being attributed to the too brief
interval which often follows the birth
of the first child. He also notes that
of all the professions. the clergy
come beyond comparison first as the
parents of distinguished sons (who
are, however, rarely of the highest
] degree of eminence), lawyers follow
ing, while officers in the army, and
physicians, scarcely figure at all.
i.yaerting is inclined to see in this or
! der, especially in the predominance OF
the clergy. the favorable influence of
an unexhausted reserve of energy,
and a habit of chastity, on intellectual
precreativeness. This is one of his
main CONCLUSIONS.
This seems not wholly an academic
topic of discussion but a practical
Imatter of vital importance. Habits of
chastity and reasoning are foremost in
the teachings of the Christ, the most
practical man that the world has ever
known. In every human contest of
physical prowess or mental skill 1t is
iclean living that counts most. Why,
then, should we expect other than the
highest intellectual results from the
cleanest living and thinking men?
vaerting finds that the fathers who
are themselves of no notable intellec-
tual distinction have a decidedly more
prolonged power Of procreating dis
tinguished children than is possessed
by distinguished fathers. The for
mer, that is to say, may become the
fathers of eminent children up to the
age Of forty-three or beyond. When,
thowever, the father is himself of high
intellectual distinction Vaerting finds
that he was nearly always under
thirty, and usually under twenty-five
years of age at his distinguished sons
birth, although the proportion of
youthful fathers in the general popu-
Iation is relatively small. The eleven
youngest fathers on Warnings list,
from twenty one to twenty-five years
Of age, were with one exception)
themselves more or less distinguished,
while the fifteen oldest, from thirty
nine to sixty years of age, were all,
without exception undistinguished
The elderly fathers belonged to large
cities and were mostly married to
wives very much younger than them
selves. Vaerting notes that the most
eminent geniuses have most frequently
been the sons of fathers who were not
engaged in intellectual avocations at
all, but earned their livings as simple
craftsmen. He draws the conclusion
from these data that strenuous intel
lectual energy is much more unfavor-
able than hard physical labor to the
production Of ability in the offspring.
Intellectual workers, therefore, he ar
CUES, must have their children when
young, and we must so modify our
social ideals and economic conditions
as to render this possible.

Aviation has made rapid strides in
Russia, and large numbers of young
Russians have taken enthusiastically
to flying In Russia every science and
art and trade has its patron saint, but
for flying men there was no saint
whose good offices might be invoked
for the protection of the aviator. The
difficulty has been solved by canoniz-
ing Elijah. who, it will be remembered,
flew to heaven in a chariot of fire.

Editorial Comment
Not So in Maine.

The following paragraphs, taken
from the New York Globe, illumine the
militia situation in New York state:
Instead of being prepared to answer
quickly a call to service, as we have
been led to believe, the National Guard
of this state, we are now told, could
not be put in the field inside of six
weeks According to an officer of the
guard, not only shoes and uniforms
are lacking, but the state has not got
one half of the required number of
shelter tents. New York, however, as
unprepared in this officers view as it
is. is not so badly off as some of the
other states. 1T was perfectly crimi-
nal" he adds, ''for the governors Of
New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio to
tell the President that they could put
their full quota of state troops in the
field in forty eight hours. In Ohio
there are whole companies that exist
only on paper"
If conditions are such as described,
it is the height of folly to blind ones
eyes to the facts. Rather let the truth
be known and haste made by New
York to remedy any defects in the
equipment of it's militia. In case 1t Is
necessary to send our guardsmen into
a Mexican campaign the scandals at
tending the Spanish war mobilization
must not be repeated. Our troops
have a right to expect that If they go
into the field they shall go completely
equipped. The citizens Of this state
demand it, not merely on humanitarian
grounds. but for the sake of New
Yorks honor as well. Glowing ac-
counts have come from Albany OF the
splendid state of preparedness of our
militia. Evidently everything Is not
as it should be. Let us have the facts.
