The Nature of Genius.

In an article contributed to the New
York Medical Journal by Or. A. C.
Jacobson, are given what are termed
'some possible clews to the nature of
genius" Doctor jacobson bases his
theory on Freudian psychology, thus
establishing it on a somewhat irmer
basis than many other theories which
are purely speculative. He finds a
relation between genius and so-called
trance mediums, in that both may be
possessed of dual personalities, the
n inferior to the average, the other
superior. The genius according 70
this theory, works through a secon-
Diary, superior personality. He goes
into a sort Of trance, and produces
work which NJ other person can pro-
duce by the mere application of skill
and labor.

Peace and War.

Peace is the noblest. greatest cause.
q peace that's firm and stable; with
shock absorbers on my jaws. I boost it
all I'm able. Year after year, without
su%rcease, this theme I have been yap-
ping but there's a time to talk of peace,
a time to talk of scrapping. When
Uncle Sam is threatened sore with
some great dire disaster, / don't adj
mire the peace graft bore whose tongue
goes ever faster. l don't admire the
bloodless wight who thinks the lands
a goner. if we would rather up and
fight than wallow in dishonor. Ididn't
raise my maiden aunt to be a noisy
braWler. but when the battle chargers
pant. she'll step out doors and holler.
1 didn't raise my lovely niece to fool
with swords and lances. u She, l
know, will pass up peace whene'er a
foe advances. I am too old and fat to
fight, out where the weapons rattle,
but warlike odes I'll gladly write, to
cheer you in the battle. Go forth, brave
hearts. bold, unafraid. il there should
be a riot! I'll bring you pals of lem

PAINTERS PERlLs.

Are o a painter? Does your work
bring you in conlaSt with lead, turpen-
tine. or benzine? Or is YOU husband or
any relative a painter? IF the answer to
either OF those questions Is yes then
you are interested in some facts
brought out in an investigation made by
the New York city health department.
The facts may be a little misleading,
Tor the following reason: The health
department sent out 80, 900 circulars
and tried to get every painter IN the
city to submit to an examination. Only
33S came forward. Those who stayed
away might have done so because they
knew they were sick or, on the other
hand, because they thought themselves
well. Then let us understand that the
following results We're obtained by ex-
animation of 289 painters. Just how far
n conclusions drawn can be applied
to h trade in general remains to be
decided.
OF the 2Ss, 14s had some one or more
signs of lead poisoning; JAG a none.
The report calls attention to certain
bad conditions under which painters
work. Speaking generally, they. work in
places where there is a poor supply of
drinking water. poor toilet facilities,
and poor washing facilities. They are
compelled to a in the place where
they work. They store their street
clothes in the rooms where they are
working.
Backache vas the most frequent sign
OF e poisoning. Constipation was
present in more than half the cases.
Headache was present in nearly half
h cases. Fifty-three had colicky pains
in he abdomen. Loss of muscular
strength was prominent as a symptom.
When the lead line on the gums is pres
ent it is almost certain proof, but only
10 Of these several hundred had it.
-lEAYha yoor11t <~Cro focfip~ fha ,1r>fro for
lead was found to be satisfactory. When
there were signs of lead poisoning the
URN was nearly certain to give q test
for lead.
~Stxty-three of the men examined
complained Of symptoms attributable
both. ON told of being suddenly over
come fainting or becoming faint) while
at work in confined or lily ventilated
places. Some suffered from nausea,
vertigo, or headache. In a number of
instances men told Of falling from lad
ders or s~caffolding as a result Of be-
ing overcome by h fumes Of turpen-
tine. Generally the painters were dis
posed to complain more of turpentine
than of lead. The symptoms of turpen-
tine poisoning r impressive; those of
lead poisoning are subtle and insidious.
1t was found that painters do not live
long. Men enter the trade early. In
most cases they had never had any
other trade before becoming painters.
Having become painters, they stuck un-
til it got them, and it got them in most
cases before the average age for dis
ability q death. Essentially the pre-
cautions required for painters to pre-
vent poisoning are cleanliness of the
skin, and especially the hands, eating
with clean hands a..,y from the work
shop, refraining from the use Of tobac-
co, az fr~ou ventilation in the work
placa.

Tho Price of Peace.
From the Chicago News,

Peace may come suddenly in 1917 as
some worthy prophets predict. There is
less likelihood, however, that the present
war viii be the last great war. as is also
great war the nations Of the earth must
make it SO, n they canno make it so
by any mere agreement among them
selves. They might as well agree that
there shall be no more measles.
War will come SO long as c~ovetpusness
Is strong and well armed and treasure is
u~nguarded. It will come so long as the
lust for land and power maintains cour-
overcoming the fat n habby storers up
After this war, ven though there
should be a general disarmament of ma
diminution of interest in the virile viz
tues; there should be no s~lackening of
physical, mental and moral preparedness
for the dire e~yentualtdes of a war even
more terrible than this war.
Until humanity L. ~regenerated and the
seven deadly sins are -eradicated from
human hearts the law abiding must ever
be on guard against. the lawless. Not to
be on guard, not to be prepared, is to in
lazy. the cowardly, are themselves re
sponsible in large measure for crimes
committed against their lives and prop
erty, for they tempt to crime those who
though morally weak are physically
strong.
To maintain a vast army and navy may
be made unnecessary by International
agreement, but the essential potentiali-
ties, the man power, Of these establish
t~eriorate. It is necessary therefore to the
welfare OF the United States that, even
though it avoid open conflict now, it con-
tinue to perfect measures for universal
sonably safe, from armed attack at all
times in the future.

Washington on Foreign Alliances.

~ IN ScW 1Ork I1neS. .aaa#
In. an address to the Princeton under
on Washington's birthday,
resident Hibben is reported to have said
mat We are reminded that WASHINGTON
warned us of entangling alliances "A
similar ascription of the Jeffersonian
phrase to Washington was made-or was
reported to be made-by Mr.. Taft the
other day. Washington said in the Fare
vel Address that it is our true policy to
steer clear of permanent alliances with
any portion of the foreign world" but he
added this seldom quoted proviso:
Taking care always to keep ourselves
by. suitable establishments on a respect
able defensive posture, we may safely
trust to temporary alliances for extraor-
binary emergencies.
The old order c%hangeth,' DR.. Hibben
went on to say what was wise in WASH
lngton's s g we dare not follow today be-
cause we ave come under a higher obli-
CATION" A nation must fulfill its duties
according to it's present conception Of
them. It Is worth while, however, to
record Washington's theory of foreign
alliances.

sort to the United States again for a

situation to the American newspaper
MT. Palma imagtnes something OF a droli

even of their more serious attention, In
writing:

bled in price during this period. The
highest salary paid n professor at
Princeton is $4,000, and the lowest
