weight. The heaviest are the best, because
they have the thinnest skin and more weight

his eccentrlclty seems never to have left him. At

Some os Dow's published writings seem
strangely incoherent, and go far to justify the
opinion OF so many of his CONTEMPORARIES that
he was crazy. Still there was a certain method
IN MS madness, which often makes 1t seem
more like Inspiration. Utterly lacking in worldly
wisdom, it was with the most remarkable
sagacity that he adapted himself to the needs of
his time. Even his most erratic and mighty
acts seem often justified in the sanity OF
their results. Out of sickly childhood, wnen
only sixteen. he plunges, not willingly, indeed,
but seemingly compelled, into work which would
tax to the uttermost the mature mind. Always
under the shadow of disease he bore up under
laoors hardships, privations that would be ap-
pallng to the most perfect physical organization.
For forty years he continued this work with no
cessation.
The popularity of his methods and the perma-
nence of his work are not here discussed. We
have only attempted TO show some of the pict-
uresque features of his life. In an age when
science and the higher criticism have done so
much to eliminate the supernatural, we turn
to man whose life was full of visions
and every act directed and controlled by higher
spiritual powers whose conceptions of the un-
seen were so vivid as to have all the force OF
perceptions, who looked not through the mani
festations of nature, the endless chain of cause
and effect to some far off law or plan but looked
