On the contrary, it is more likely to
ask help of some mild, undersized,
bald headed professor, gentle and
probably timid, whose body may well
seem to have acquired second hand
for only one purpose, that of Lansing,
for its necessary time, the combined
searchlight and battery of his brain.
"The soul is in its own place." said
certain great man who, though he
did not live to any great age, has not
yet, so far as l know, been explained
away by any disease, and he, of all
men, understood what strange nests
the soul may build for itself, in what
crazy skulls it may lay the eggs of
the future, or through what half
blind eyes it may behold the stars.
l trust | shall not be misunder-
stood to have attempted here any ar
gument on behalf of those melodra-
matte biologists and pathologists who
would persuade us that genius is
merely a product of disease, men who
can predict your music from your
liver, who would prescribe consump-
ton to poets and gout to historians,
and who, generally speaking, accept
epeleptic fits as the final explanation
of all greatness, whether it be that of
the saint, the soldier, the king, or the
philosopher, the man who considers
the dunghill sufficiently satisfying
explanation of the rose.
As / said at the beginning, these
great intellects with frail bodies are
the exceptions, not the rule. Nature
prefers, as a rule, to house her great
intellects magnifciently, as in a
Sophocles, or a Goethe, or Nopo-
leon, and she but illustrates what one
might term her indomitability, her
capacity for achieving her ends in
spite of all obstacles, and even
through defective media, when she
thus occasionally employs the imper-
feet vessel.

Quaint Old Welsh Town

Kidwelly is a quaint old town in
Wales. 1t is dreamy little COM
munity set in snugly between broad
marshes and Carmarthen bay, and di-
vided by a curving river with an un-
pronounceable Welsh name. Old Kid
welly lives largely in the past. 1t has
been the scene of battles and seiges.
1t has a castle whose turrets and
roundtowers still stand bravely, their
age kindly hidden by the vines that
enfold them.
1t pretends to remember we'll the
occasion of the Welsh princess who
stormed the town at the head of her
army. 1t tells the story proudly, little
sadly at the end, for the warrior prin-
cess was executed by her enemies.
1t is dusty, unromatic climb to
the battlements, but the view from
the castle top is worth the trip. The
quaint, tumbledown houses at the foot
of the walls are mere skeleton of the
old town as it was in its prime. Be
yond them are marshy fields rolling
away to the next village. Far below
is the river once thronged with ships
of trade that long ago deserted it for
richer ports. Its streets are almost
empty, and its old-fashioned residents,
primly oblivious to new improve
ments and styles of architecture.-Ex.

que of Pure Reason" the significance
of which in the history of the world
no one need be told.
The history of "crook backs" has
perhaps, been written, but l have not
come upon it. The idea of the super
ior brain and higher spirituality of
cf the hunchback was one that fas-
cinated Balzac in more than one of
his novels he attributed it to an en-
forced accumulation of the spinal
marrow, and writes like Charles
Reade and George Eliot, not to speak
of Hugo, have made no merely fan
tastic but spiritually commanding and
lovable heroes CT our strange human
drama. In fact, the hunchback is but
the extreme illustration of my present
thesis.
Another great writer who owed
little to his body, but whose tongue
was at once the bitterest and the
sweetest ever belonging to poet, was
Heinrich Heine. Yet the lightning
of his wit which kept his enemies in
terror and the melody of those lyrics
that have gone surging like birds
around the world, emanated alike
from a half paralyzed invalid, tor
tured continually with pain, as he lay
for years on his mattress grave" in
the Rue d'Amsterdam, Paris.
"What does it avail me-" he cries
in famous passage, that enthusias-
tic youths and Maidens crown my
marble bust with laurel wreaths if,
meanwhile, the shriveled fingers of
an aged nurse press blister of Span
ish flies behind the ears of my actual
body? OF what avail is it that all
the roses of Shiraz so tenderly glow
and bloom for me? Alas! Shiraz is
two thousand miles away from the
Rue DAmsterdam, where, in the
dreary solitude of my sick room, l
have nothing to smell, unless it be the
perfume of warmed napkins"
1t is inspiring to think that Heine's
most memorable work was done un-
der these conditions, and that the
poetry by which he is best known, iri-
descent and joyous as a fountain in
the sun, was born in that sick room,
amid "the perfume of warmed nap
kins."
Indeed, nothing in human history
is more inspiring than the evidence it
is continually bringing that the race
is not by any means always to the
swift, or the battle to the strong.
Even the great soldiers and statesmen
of the world have not infrequently
been men frail or Diseased of body.
Cesar is said to have been an epilep-
tic, and, while France boasts perhaps,
a greater number of distinguished
names than any other modern coun-
try, yet it is questionable whether
there would have been any France to
boast of had it not been for the stern
will and terrible political wisdom
housed in the insignificant body of
Louis XII.
When the world is in difficulties
it does not run to some thick-witted
Lamson, whose strength the frailest
slip of girl can topple down, healthy
and rude and splendid as the hills.

HISTORY OF GREAT INTELLECTS
By Mr.. H. P.

gues," from so earthen vessel came
our divinest discourse on the soul.
Among philosophers of the modern
world there are two that overshadow
their respective periods like two rocks
towering out of the plain. We have
but to say Voltaire and Kant. Their
history is in their names. The power
of thought has never been more
strikingly illustrated than by these
two great men, and never has such
dynamic thought been more para
doxically domiciled. One of Voltaire's
opponents, now utterly forgotten, ex-
cept by association with the insult,
said of him that his "leanness recalled
his labors, and that his slight, bent
body was only thin, transparent veil
through which one seemed to see his
soul and genius" The extraordi-
nary thinness" of this great man was
remarked upon by another observer,
"a mere skeleton, with long nose
and eyes of preternatural brilliancy
peering out of his wig"
1t is always perilous to think, and
this skeleton with the bright eyes
lived in time when it was peculiarly
perilous to think. He had only his
brain to protect himself with against
the slaves of the lackeys of the CheUa-
Her de Rohan, only Voltaire's brain.
One laughs now to think of it, but,
if one laughs, it is cnly because we
have come to realize how much
pinch of that high explosive called
brain means in the history of human
ity and how little the well-fed, highly
paid retinues of swollen aristocrats,
or even plutocarts, can avail against
it.
As for Kant, his merely physical
envelope seems to have been scarcely
less Aimsy than that of the possibly
mythical Greek philosopher who was
so small and slight that it was neces-
sary for him to keep stones in his
pockets lest the wind should blow him
away, for all descriptions of Kant
agree as to the pathetic fragility of
the house thus mysteriously provided
as the temporary lodging of his great
brain. He was scarcely five feet
high" said one, and his body seemed
to have received from nature the inn
press of feebleness as its characteris-
tics n His bones were small and
weak, but proportionately his muscles
were still weaker" And "ever since
l knew him." relates one who had
been acquainted with him for fifty
years, ''his body was extremely
emaciated, and at last it was dried
like a potsherd.
But his dearest friend, Jackmann,
adds cne detail that means more than
all the rest: "Where shall l find
words to describe his eyes. Kant's
eve looked as if it had been formed of
heavenly ether" Yet one of Kant's
eyes had been blind for four years,
without either himself or his friends
knowing it. One other almost quaint
detail of his fragility, again related by
his friend Jackmann is that news
paper fresh from the press could give
him a cold. Luch was "the physical
man" CT him who gave us that "Criti-

II N ANALYSIS of human his
~ tory of the human brain.
= Fvervthinp that has reallv ham

~ tory OF the human brain.
Everything that has really hap
pened, first happened in the brain.
Wherever brute force proves itself
undeniably valuable, as in our late
World War, or in great engineering
undertakings, like the Panama canal,
it is because of the watchful and di-
recting brain behind it.
The motive personalities that have
made the history of any race CIR nation
have been the men and women of
brain, and as brain, by aid of those
elemental energies which its science
discovered and now so considerably
controls has made merely physical
force a laughing stock and a ruin at
the pressing of button, as lightly
tossing city tc the winds as once it
would have taken year to storm a
tower. 1t becomes more and more
evident that the brain of man is what
man has to count with, as we'll as to
count on. And, further, for the rea-
son that it seems to be our nearest
point of contact with those mysteri-
Gus powers that seem to govern our
lives.
Admitting, therefore, the impor-
tance of the brain in human affairs,
its often whimsical selection of ply
sical lodging, not to say significant.
As a general rule the old Latin pre-
verb, mems sana in corpore sano,
holds true, and in the great majority
of cases the sound mind is found in
the healthy body, yet in proof of this
rule there are some striking excep-
tions that set one thinking. Indeed,
no little CT the dynamic greatness that
has brought man to his present state
of being has been housed in bodies
very frail and very unfit. AS the
greater the general, the less he trou-
bles about his quarters, satisfied with
the barest necessity, so the brain seems
to be able to make good with any
ramshacle physical apparatus that will
hold together, and all that appears to
matter about great mans body in
certain notable cases to, is there
room enough in it to house his brain,
and enough vitality to convey to it
that slender victualing that it needs?
There is no necessity to explore the
byways of history tc, discover exam
pies of this strange biological truth.
We need only take a few of those
names which Immediately come to
the tongue, or arrest, so to speak,
the historic eye, as cne glances ever
so casually over the field of human
advancement.
Of the body that housed perhaps
the greatest brain in human history
we have this description: His
presence was mean and his coun-
tenance grotesque. Short of stature,
thick necked and somewhat corpulent,
with prominent eyes, with nose up
turned and nostrills cutspread, with
large mouth and coarse lips, he
seemed the embodiment of sensuality
and stupidity.
Luch was the outer man of Socrates
as he walked about the streets of
Athens, always on the lookout for any
fellow citizen who would talk or lis
ten about the deep things of life.
From a face like comic mask came
that inspired conversation which
Plato has embodied in his "Dialo-
