STRONG IN BODY
Men of Genius by No Means an
Unhealthy Lot
Uvea ef Many *f tho World'# OreaUtf
- Men Shew That Mental Pewer and
Strength Qe Together.
The popular Idea that geniuses are
ueually physical weaklings or men of
poor health 1* vigorously combated by
Prof, ltudolph M. Binder of New Vori
university. As a matter of fact, says
Professor Bender, according to the
New York Sun, It Ih only because there
lias been so much comment about the
comparatively few phyaUfal weakling*
who were genlufea that the tradition
has grown that exceptional < mental
power and bodily weakness are related
conditions.
Declaring his belief that there Is no
weakling genius who would not bave
been a greater one had ho been of
sound body, Professor Binder point**
out thai ulftat of the world's greatest
geniuses were not only healthy, but
often ol ni(?re than ordinary physical
strength.
"Illustrations of this < oul?r l?r ex
tended Indefinitely," said Professor
Binder, "but it Is necessary to men
tion only a few shining examples
down the ages, l.el's begin with Soc
rates. The great philosopher . served
as a hopllte, which means that be was
a member of what we In modern terms
would designate as shock troops. He
was seventy years old when he was
condemned to drink the hemlock.
"Omlng down many centuries, Sir
Isaac Newton lived to be ellfhty-flve,
and was strong and healthy and n hard
worker till wltldu a short time of his
death. Darwin was born with a rug
ged constitution, which he mined
by his failure t? care for it, but It
enabled him to accomplish a remark
able amount of work before he <J,ied
at the age tff aeventy-three.
"If proof were needed that Herbert
Spencer was born with an Iron consti
tution it would be provided by that in
cident of his boyhood when at the age
of thirteen he walked 48 miles one
day, 4? the second and 20 the third,
and with very little food during the
three days. Spencer is another man
'who injured lltflf health by the lack of
care ef hlinsolf, but If he had not been
naturally Xtrohg he would not bnve
lived to be elghty^hree.
"Bven Shakespeare who died at flf
tjr-two, might bo said to have lived ft
good life considering the amount of
work he did as playwright, actor and
manager. Goethe, an exceedingly busy
man, was In good health almost to
the tline of his death at eighty-three.
"Of the four probably most famous
Italians Dante lived to be only flfty
eighr, but his life was one of arduous
labor} Leonardo da Vinci, an athlete
Who outstripped far younger meV In
feats of strength, was nearly slxty
seven; Michelangelo worked furiously
most of hla ninety, years, and Galileo
enjoyed good health till his death at
seventy-eight.
"It was because the population aB
a whole wal strong in body that Ath
ens produced such a remarkable num
ber of geniuses in the days of its glory,
and l? we wahtJ&^toci'Case the num
ber of geniuses in the world today the
way to accomplish It I* to improve
the health of all the people.1'

It Is estimated that consumption toi

Defends Puritan Architecture.
Wallace' Nuttings' hook on "Fur
niture of the Pllgrhu Century" Is an
argument to disprove tho fallacy that
the Puritans were Insensible to beauty
Of' the rugged substantial rcttcs
ot their bulldlhg, Mr. Nuttlri* Mjr*
"Tlierfe Is solidity In them, durability,
freedom from caprice, and an expres
sion of that sober rationality every
where characteristic of the Puritan
genius. 4
. .. "For adaptation to climate, wise use
of accessible ntatertalv inner eon*
venlence obtained lit low cost und
freedom from discordant lines, Puritan
domestic architecture deserves high
praise."
This Is ne less true of their furnl
tuta accessories. It Is wrong to as
. sume Hi at tfietr austerity and sim
plicity Were forced upon them by mere
hardship. Rather were they the out
ward expression of an Inner nobility
and spiritual exaltation.
Amusing, but What About MuaicianaT
An unrehearsed .scon? was enacted
during the production of the revue
"Splash Me" at the Tlvoli Music hall J
at Hull, England. A spectacular fea- J
ture Is n great glass tank, said to bold
20,000 gallons of water, In which
"bathing belles" disport themselves. As
fl?e tank waa being prepared for the
performance tbe rear side burst and
wafer flooded the stage- The revue
artists scampered off, but many of the
musicians were drenched. The water
found its way to the basement beneath
the and stood at such a level
that the orchestra, on an elevated plat
form, had to play with their feet in
several Inches of water when they re
turned to their places. The consterna
tion of the audience g?ve way to
amusement when the orchestra waa
overwhelmed. The bathing s^ene, of
course, had t<> h? abandoned.

While I was musing I hoard a slight

fifteen or twenty paces away, a figure
which I now suppose must have been
one of the hairy men that the Everest
expedition talk about and the Tibetans,
according to them, .call the 'Abomina

"Speaking to the bent of my recol

He was a kind o? i>ale yellow all over,
about the color of a Chinaman, a shock
of quitted hair on his head, little hair
on his face, highly splayed feet, and
large, formidable hands. Ills muscular

him for some flye or six minutes. 8o
far as I could make out, he was watch
