The History OF Genius.

The history or great people would seem to
indicate that Lysiane Bernhardt's chances for a
brilliant future WEI depend more upon her rare
opportunities for association with a character Of
this kind than from the direct influence Of blood
relationship.
In the few striking examples in which the
second generation has taken color from the first.
one finds the almost invariable condition in which
the parent through constant association and per
sonal instruction, nodded the youthful character
and brain Where there has not been such per
seual tutorship. and. indeed. in a large majority
OF cases there has not been the child has not
followed the channel OF the parent. Scientific
research shows that the ability OF grandparent
has cropped out in the third or the fourth gen
cration where it missed the second entirely. but

ula;ion as to whether there IS any hereditary ee-
ment in the fact.

T7IIE world of art and science is beginning
to watch with intense interest the outcome
l. of a remarkable experiment which the great
Sarah Bernhardt is conducting with her beau
tful granddaughter, Lysiane.
1t involves the century-old riddle OF whether
genius can be Inherited or transmitted
Nine. Bernhardt's interest in the possibility
of bequeathing her genius to a member or her
own family dates back about four years to the
time when l.ysiane was approaching sixteen.
The remarkable beauty and mental powers OF
the girl who just budding into womanhood
awakened in the great Bernhardt the hope that
perhaps a part of her own genius had been trans
mitted to this child OF the third generation by
heredity.
She Immediately began a study OF the history
Of great men and women with relation to the
laws of he1edity, but only to discover that while
artistic genius did sometimes crop out from gen
Grafton to generation in the same family, me
opposite was usually the case.
However, her Investigations gave some ground
for hope. and she decided 70 give the girl every
advantage that might tend to bring out her
latent possibilities.
From that time onward-a period which now
covers some four years-she has made the beau
tiful Lysiane her constant companion, confidante
and pupil

CONTINUE AFTER WAR

Washington. Nov. Edward N.
chairman of the United
States shipping board, is champion
of undiminished activity in the COM
pletion of the great merchant ma
rine as planned and its greatest use
after the war. In order to make all
American ports as efficient in load
ing, unloading, coaling and port ham
ding of ocean-going ships as the
lake ports are in the handling of the
ore carriers and other cargo boats,
Mr.. Hurley appointed the port and
harbor facilities commission. The
function Of this commission is to
bring every port up to the highest
possible efficiency in the terminals
for ships that the merchant fleet
may be more quickly turned around.
Chairman Hurley, in speaking to a
representative of The Portland Tele-
gram Of the opportunity before AM
erican ports after the war, said;
Let me repeat, while we are
building ships for the present emer-
gency we are preparing at the same
time for the future development OF
our foreign commerce. To take ad.
vantage of the industry and restore
to the world its lost tonnage is a nat
ural and business-like procedure.
"An enormous repair and over
hauling activity will spring up il
connection with the shipping indus
try. Our merchant marine will, a
a matter of course, suffer from ma
tural depreciation, wear and tea
and inevitable accidents which viii
give employment to thousands o
men in drydocking and repai
lyards."

CLOTHED, IN PLIGHT

Harbin, Oct. 2S-(Delayed) )-Liv-
ing in box cars, on the verge OF star
vation, miserable, cold and despon-
dent, 1866 Serbians and Montene-
grins were discovered by the ALL
American special in Harbin freight
yards. The refugees left Odessa on
February 10 en- route around the
world toward their homes, They
reached here in zero weather in the
most pitiful condition in which, ex-
cept for the timely arrival OF the Red
Cross they would probably have suf-
fered the fate of 400 German prls-
oners who we're locked in freight
cars In winter under the cars re-
gime and who were found frozen to
death months later in the interior OF
Siberia.
OF all the refugees l have seen in
Belgium, France, Poland or Rou-
mania this sight beggars everything
For four days these people had nc
bread and for two weeks no meat oil
vegetables. The children Of the poor
est were barefoot, and most of the
women wore light summer dresses
OF the most ragged description.
During the eight months Of trave
140 children died Of starvation ant
exposure and so adults perished.
Weeping, frantic and desperate
women and children and old men be
selged the Red Cross workers, whit
were able to promise and delive'

The treatment which had heen &C
corded these unfortunate was scand
alous. They were the victims o! re,
tape by various relief organization
and governments. Once they wsr
promised large estate in Russia t
be colonized, AS they were about I
settle there another government in
terfered. They were then ordered t
proceed to Vladivostok and theme
to Serbia via America.
Meanwhile their S3 box cars, int
which they were packed, often sleel
ing on three rows of shelves with
out blankets, were showed from tow
to town, practically unschedulet
Sometimes they were sidetracked &c
