VACARIES OF GENIUS

Nothing is quite so mysterious as the
workings of the human mind. A study of
men classed as geniuses generally shows
them to be little "cracked'' in certain re-
spects. Sometimes their peculiarities have
been harmless, in others they have led to
positive insanity. A few examples will
illustrate.
Napoleon was afraid of "a cat; Peter
the Great was afraid to cross a bridge !;
Martin Luther imagined that the devil ap-
peared to him and he threw his ink bottle
at the fiend; Samuel Johnson, Beethoven
ard Lincoln at times contemplated suicide.
Among the ridiculous antics of great
men may be mentioned the occasional
habit of Cardinal Richelieu to gallop
around billiard table, imagining himself
to be a horse. Adam Smith, the great
economist, once walked IL miles to church,
clad only in his nightshirt. Bentham, the
philosopher, went bareheaded in winter
and wore heavy leather gloves in summer.
Many men of genius have been shockingly
lax in morals as measured by adopted
standards.
All this does not mean, however, that
being bit nutty is an infallible sign of
genius.
