THREE GREAT AMERICANS.
A Glimpse of Emerson, Thorenu and
Hawthorne.

A Glimpse of Emerson, Thoreau and
Hawthorne.
Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis says In
she met him In Concord in 1862 was
typical Yankee In appearances: "The
tall, gaunt man with the watchful, pa
tlent face and slightly dazed eyes, his
hands clasped behind his back, that
came slowly down the shady village
street toward the Wayslde that sum
mer day was Uncle Sam himself In Ill
fitting brown clothes. | have often
wondered that none of his biographers
have noticed the likeness"
Emerson said to Mrs Davis: Il wish
Thoreau had not died before you came.
He was an interesting study" She
asked why, and after moment he re-
piled. Henry often reminded me of
M animal in human form. He had the
eye of Bird the scent of dog, the
most acute. delicate intelligence, but
no soul. No." he repeated, shaking
his head with decision, Henry could
not have had human soul"
Mrs. Davis remarks on Hawthorne's
shyness and on his love of seclusion,
which indeed was n family trait Per
sonally he was n rather short, power
fully built man, gentle and low voiced,
with II sly, elusive humor cleaning
sometimes In his watchful gray eyes.
The portrait with which we are all ia
millar, n curled barber shop head,
gives no idea OF the singular, melan-
choly charm of his face. There was n
mysterious power In 1t which l have
never seen elsewhere In picture, statue
or human being"

THE OWNING ROD.
ats First Recorded Use Was Fer Lo-
eating Mineral Lodcs.

Professor w. +. Barrett. T. Il. s.,
says that the birthplace of the mod.
ern dlvining rod, whether used to locate
minerals or water. was In the mining
districts of Germany, probably the
iIarz mountains Its first recorded use
was In prospecting for mineral lodes.
The first mention of the use of the
modern rod was In the latter part of
the fifteenth century. Books published
In the sixteenth century have pictures
of miners searching for mineral veins
In very businesslike way by noting
the dipping of n hazel or willow rod,
the forked ends of which nre held In
the hands OF an expert.
German miners brought the forked
rod Into England toward the end OF the
sixteenth century for the exploitation
of the Cornish mines. Professor Bar
rett points out that the dropping char
actcr of the willow WIS probably be-
leved TO have something 10 do with the
minerals concealed In the ground and
TINT 1T WINS but natural to cut light
branch from one of the trees and TO
see IL II dropped In prospecting for
ores" Thus the "dowsing rod" came
Into universal use among the miners of
Europe. although II WIS soon believed
that only certain persons had the gift
of using the rod.
