Born, Not Made.

From day to day proof is forthcom- ing that genius is spontaneous and not slow growth-that 1t Is of the type of Minerva who sprang full armed from the head of zeus This is evidently as true of the genius of the mart as it is popularly supposed to be of the more esthetic forms of genius.
 An instance in substantiation of this opinion was recently related by a vet eran business man as a side light on the why of the success of a well-known industrial leader.
 "I remember him." 1t was related, "when he was a lad of six years. He wanted to trade a lantern for one owned by playmate, which he ad- mired. Coming to his father, he asked counsel about the matter and was in- formed that he should use his own judgment.

NEW LINES SEEN ON MOON
British Astronomer Makes Public Re cent Observations of Great in-
 terest to Scientists.

A paper by T. l.. Macdonald, read before the British Astronomical asso- ciation, discusses the appearance of a bright border along the dark limb Of the young moon. According to MT. Macdonald this luminosity. which is not visible in all lunations has more or less, linellke appearance, and is de cidediy brighter than the ordinary earthshine, which always illuminates the darker part of the young moon The bright border varies in length, not always extending as far as the horns of the lunar crescent, and certain nearly circular swellings of intensi- Bed brightness have been noted. In general the border is most sharply de fined when the moon is 2h days old, and it begins to become diffuse the third day of the lunation. By the sev- enth day 1t is barely distinguishable Commenting on these observations, Mr. Harold Thomson stated that he had observed the bright border with fhe naked eye, but 1t disappeared in the telescope.-Scientific American

ALBANIA FIRST IN FIELD
~palry Lunch" We'll Known in That Country Long Before It Was
 Introduced Here.

Long before the dairy lunch or the cafeteria, those well-knOwn American institutions into which the American business man dashes wildly at noon hour and helps himself from tempt ing array of eats, burst upon the great republic, Albania had them.
 The "pick 'em yourself places may have been a novelty in the United States ten or fifteen years ago, but even then they were an old insitu- ton in Albania.
 The carefully scrubbed marble top of the American dairy lunch, resting on a long table of marble front and sides, is replaced in the Albanian one by a dainty piece of rock about six feet long, three feet wide and four feet deep, resting on a bulky bit of timber, which, in turn, Is supported by wooden legs just as bulky.
 The whole is as rugged as the noun tains from which 1t all came. In the stone, somewhere back in the past, circularlike excavations were produced at regular intervals. In the bottom of these a hot charcoal fire smolders over which slowly cook the chicken, the turkey, the potatoes or the rice. At one end of the rock are the knives, forks and plates.

New York and Other se.pors..

As result of the great war the pop uiafion of France has decreased : per cent but the population of some of the large cities of France has made a large increase. Lyons, Bordeaux and Aarseilles are of special interest to American investors, who have paid many millions of dollars in purchasing bonds issued by these cities. Their gain in population has ranged from Is to 36 per cent. the largest being that of Marseilles, and 1t is perhaps significant that Marseilles Is the prin- rpal port of France on the Mediter- ranean. remarks the Boston Commer- cal Bulletin.
 s As the great seaport of America, New York has made enormous growth tn recent years and the populat ton has become so great that not only Is New York the largest city in the world but English newspapers now admit that New York has nearly a million more inhabitants than London, which has been for over century the worlds greatest city.

JAP WOMEN WITHOUT RIGHTS
Many Restrictions to Be Removed Be- fors There Can De Thought
 of Suffrage.

Perhaps 1t is a little premature fer Japanese women to think of suffrage when they are actually prevented from even passively listening to political speeches. It is curious to note in this connection that not single voice nal yet been raised against the legal dis ability of married women and also against the injustice-or at least the unfairness-to daughters of the Japa- nese law of succession.
 According to Japanese law married women form a class of incapacftated persons, the other classes under the same category being CD minors, (2) in- competent persons Qunatics), and (3) quasi-incompetent persons (persons or weak intellect, deaf. dumb or blind persons and spendthrifts).
 Married women must obtain the per mission of their husbands in order Gal to receive or invest capital; (b) to contract loans or to become surety (c) to do acts having for their objecf the acquisition or loss of rights in im- movable or important movable prop erty; (d) to make gifts, compromises or arbitration agreements; (e) to ac- cept or waive successions; (O to ac- cept or refuse gifts or legacies, or (g) to make contracts putting them selves under any personal restraint {; and any such acts done without the requisite permission may be cancelled by the authors themselves or their husbands.-Japan Chronicle.

pMITED GENIUS AND BEAUTY
Maany of America's Great Men Have Proved That the Tsse Can Ex-
 lst Together.

While Socrates had the mind or rod and the form of a satyr, and many from that day on have said that beau. Gy and genius do not go together. sucn is not the case in American history, according to Charles E. Corwin, wr1t' ing in the Seattle Post-Inteiiigencer. With few striking exceptions gooo looking, well proportioned men nave achieved fame. Washington was a handsome man, and Gen. Winneiu Scott was considered fine looking. Gen. Lee. of Civil war fame, was attractive in form and feature. Daniel Webster, Edward Everett. Horace Greeley ana Franklin were handsome types of their periods.
 The writer declares there has been a distinct change in the type of the American countenance. In colonial days the typical face was full, rosy and reposeful. Today the average countenance is somewhat sharp, pal lid and expressive of energy. Roose- welt had the sharpness of present-day features. President Wilson's chin ra- diates determination, and Bryans amiie Is unique of its kind, but the features are like the present day type.
 Among men of letters James Fen amore Cooper bore the palm for beau ty. He was large and finely propor- tioned. His features were of leonine cast, and his clear, gray eyes were ra- diant with power. Washington Irving was a handsome man, as was also N. P. Willis.

Smoke Recorder on Chimney.

new application of the metal se- lenium, suggested by French scien- list, L. Ancel, is to use the selenium cells as smoke recorders in chimneys. A selenium cell is mounted on one side of a chimney or fiue; on the op- posite side Is fixed a lamp. The amount of light falling upon the SC lenium and hence the resistance of the cell will depend upon the density of the smoke in the flue; the fire can, therefore, be controlled by the galvan- ometer records.

words with which he sought to plc- ture it to other minds. Language hampers thought, limits, confines, distorts and misrepresents 1t. Ev- cry writer and speaker feels that.
 Consider too, that Newton's thoughts were not expressible Tn words. He had to invent a mathe- nautical language for them before they could be communicated, even in part to his fellow men. Einsteln' s thoughts, in developing his theory of relativity with all it's astonishing sequences, was entirely independ- ent of language It is a kind of cry of dispair he utters when ne says that there are not more than ten men in the world who can un- derstand him.
 E Well, there is no reason known, none developed by 200 years of ex- pert study of the subject, why a deaf mute might not be born with the mental powers of Newton or an Einstein. It is great mistake to assume that the deaf mute owes his intelligence to his education, which has taught him to read other peoples language and to express himself by means by an artificlally developed system of signs.
 Rev. Arnold H. Payne, an au- thority on this subject; "The deaf child expresses himself in the sign language of his own accord. Ii the deaf boy meets someone who will gesture with him, a new sign will be invented, as occasion re- ouires, by one or the other to ex- press a new idea, and if it be a good one it is tactically adopted to express that idea, and so an en- tire language is built up.' And again he says: Signs are more beautiful language than English and provide possibilities of wealth of expression which English does not possess and which probably no oth- CT language possesses"
 It is an ancient, exploded and absurd idea that the deaf and dumb are on the mental level of idiots. There is no necessary men, tai deficiency in the deaf and dumb child. His natural language is that of signs, by which the most ab- stract ideas are perfectly conveyed. Like all other children, he learns language by imitation. It needs only the brilliant history of Helen Keller, who is blind as well as deaf and dumb, and her predeces- sor, Laura Bridgman, to prove that intelligence is not limited by lan- guage. Helen Keller's wonderful teacher would be the last to claim that it was she who imparted the power of thinking to her pupil. She simply put her in touch with the ordinary persons ways of express ing thought.

sons form LneiT lHouSHeS, VI oAe their actions governed entirely by instinct?"-H. J. B., Chicago.
 It is a mistake to suppose that there can be no thought without words. No. No language expresses more than a fraction of the think ing done by the mind. If you will carefully analyze your mental oper- ations you will see that thoughts precede words, and words are sought simply as medium thru which the thought can be impress ed upon other minds, or as means of outward expression and commu- nication.
 Observe what multitude of thoughts occur to which no words correspond, and which, if you com municate them at all, find ex- pression only through action or signs. A man speaks through his eyes, his fingers, arms, every at titude and motion, the flushing and paling of his skin-an unspoken, un- written language oozes from him. Words do not give birth to this that would be impossible because words are the product of thought, invented for its use.
 This universal and multiform ex- pression of thought, in which ev- cry part of the body under the inn mediate control of the brain shares, is as much a part of the native equipment of the deaf and dumb person as of the man born with per feet hearing.
 Before discussing that fact, how ever, consider this: If language pre- ceded thought and if thinking con sisted of forming '.unspoken words in the brain," there could have been no intellectual advance made by the human race. The ideas that lifted man from savagery to civilization did not have their birth in words they gradually dawned in the mind, and then language was invented to give them currency and definiteness so that many minds might grasp them and understand them in the same sense.
 When Wentworth saw the statue of Newton with his prism and si- lent face" there dawned in his mind the thought, which he after wards wrought into words, that this was: "The marble index of a mind for
 ever
 Voyaging through strange seas of
 thought alone"
 None of those words shaped or preceded the thought in the poets mind, and Wentworth himself no doubt would have said that the full richness of that thought, as he con ceived it in the presence of the statue, was not expressed in the

MOST SENSATIONAL AUTO RACE
 EVER HELD IS N|ON BY FLOR|O

PALERMO, Sicily. Dec. 27.-Collid- ing with the grandstand and backing over the finish line. Andre Boillot won the Fargo Florio, the first European postwar race in the Baby Peugeot Ill which he made such d formidable showing in the last internatial 500 mile Sweepstakes contest at Indiana polls.
 It was the most srueiling and most terribly difficult race ever held m Europe. and Boillot won only by play ing with death every yard Of the way. His average was only 342I M. T. NJ, but when it is considered that the 2bS- mile course had 1900 distinct turns to each lap of 67 miles through noun ta1nouS country. and that snow and rain fell intermittently through most of the contest. his performance ranks as truly marvellous.
 The outstanding feature of the race. the tenth to be held on this famous course, was q duel between Rene Thomas on the eight cylinder Ballot that he drove in the last Indianapolis event, and Boillot in his little Peugeor. Thomas drove desperately long as he was in the running, and held his rival on nearly even terms until the last lap. when he skidded on one of The many dangerous turns and broke his rear axle.
