Famous Publishers Prophecy

sible to write a great work of fiction
based upon New England life. Some
of the short story writer's may CON
tinue to give admirable vignettes Of
this life; there are numerous quaint
hooks that remain to be discovered in
New England. But quaint hooks do
not call forth great novels.
mo, the day of New England in f1c-
ton is passing. and the day of the
west in it is dawning. The great orig
inal work Of fancy and imagination by
an American is to have for its back
ground western life, and it must be
told by some one who has been ia
familiar with that life. By West,
mean that part of the country which
lies beyond the Allegheny mountains;
and it may be that this great work of
fiction will come from west of the
Mississippi"
The great American novel so called
that Mr. Fields clearly had in mind is
yet to come but long since there ap-
peared on the center Of the literary
stage of the country the depictors Of
the life of the West, displacing the
school of New England writer's.

The Robert E. Lees Pilot Wheel.

The pilot wheel which guided the
steamboat Robert E. Lee in the
famous race with the steamer Nat
chez in 1870, when the Lee made the
record on the Mississippi between
New Orleans and st. Louis, is now
being used on the ste mer Nashville,
plying the Cumberland.
The old nautical relic was recov-
cred from the City of Providence, to
which steamer it lad beer removed
from the Lee. The wheel is over ten
feet in diameter, more than thirty
two in circumference and is made of
walnut and cherry. 1t is of the
double circle type Of wheel, with two
circles of stays round the spokes,
which are inlaid with two rows Of
highly polished Eastwood. The wheel
is in an excellent state of preserva-
ton and apparently is as sound as
when it guided the Robert E. Lee to
victory in the famous old steamboat
days on the Mississippi. The record

Masters Cultivated Their Style

cultivation, arduous study, or wheth-
er it is a natural gift"
you know" began the senator,
that my native place was the little
| town of Washington, in Litchf1eld coun-
ty, Connecticut. l had only a common
school education; I had no time as
lad to study English style. Later, when
l read law, I was too much occupied
with the problem of getting ready to
earn my living to give any thought to
securing an English style. But all
the while, I recognize clearly now,
had an unconscious teacher in English
style.
las a child I was a great reader of
the Bible. The familiar Bible stories
attracted me greatly and pored over
them again and again. When | be-
| came young man I was greatly i'm
pressed by the majesty of the Book
of Job. 1 read and re-read it. Unsus-
pected by me, l know now, l was
taught by the Bible what I know of
the English language, for 1 read it
constantly and Systematically during
my most impressionable years-a hab-
it that l have never broken entirely,
for even in my buster days l read at
least chapter of the Bible a day, and
that chapter, nearly always, is one
from the Book of Job
MY experience was partially that of
Senator Hoar," continued Mr.. Platt.
You must observe that he is a mas
ter of English style, especially Of mar
rative style. I once asked him how
he came by this
From two or three sources was
his reply. I am a reader of the Bible.
/ also read DeQuincey, whose style is
rich, and l constantly read that old
English divine, Hooker. I have alb
sorbed his style. It has a majesty, a
swing, unrivaled by any prose writer
since Milton
Then Senator Hoar asked me if /
had ever noticed the limpid purity Of
Senator Morgan's style. I have some
times listened intently to one of his
speeches., said Mr.. Hoar, in the hope
of catching him in some grammatical
slip or some clumsy use of English.
but have never been able to discover
a fault in his style
And Senator Hoar is right-Senator
Morgan never makes a mistake in Eng
lish in his speeches. He is never call
ed upon to correct in the record a sin
gle word unless there is error on the
stenographer's part. Yet he never pre-
pares his addresses; he speaks extern
poraneously for hours at a time, with
out even hesitating for a word. His
is truly wonderful style, yet he has
assured me he never cultivated It. 4
talk as l think he said, and l never.
speak unless l have a clear idea of
what l am going to say
Il have heard much advice given
about the cultivation of an English
style" concluded Senator Platt. but
as for myself, my experience in the
senate has taught me that any man
who attempts to cultivate an English
style spoils his own natural style, and
tmpairs his originality, and becomes a
mere mimic. Whatever cultivation
there is should be unconscious like
that which l received when in nv
youth 1 constantly read the Bible"

Emperor Was Enraged Because the
American Said French Could In
wade England With His Cook
ing Water" Invention.

1t is stated in history that in 1903
Robert Fulton constructed a small
steamboat on the Seine and endeavor-
ed to get the French government in
terested in his invention, with an idea
Of utilizing 1t in NapoIeon's proposed
invasion of England, a project that was
then receiving much attention from
the little Corsican. The following
anecdOte which I have from the lips
Of Baron Eckenstein, who for many
years has been associated with the
diplomatic life of Germany, sheds a
dramatic light on this attempt of Full
ton to interest the first Napoleon in
the application Of steam to naviga-
ton.
At the time Bismarck was at the
height Of his power" said Baron Eek
enstefn during a recent visit to this
country, Il was a member of his off
cIaI family. At q dinner which he gave
to number OF US who were so asso-
ciated with him, one Of the company
gave it as his opinion that the new
telephone instrument, which was then
Just being introduced in Germany,
ought to be of great service in affairs
Of state. The speaker called atten-
ton especially to the fact that a tele-
phone line had been completed be
tween Potsdam and Breslau, saying
that this would surely prove a great
convenience when the court was at
the palace at Potsdam.
Bismarck, who was one of the best
of listeners, but who could also tell a
story ~ well himself, made no di-
rect reply to his guests statement, but
instead told the following anecdote:
In the summer of 1851 I paid q
visit to Prince Metternich at the castle
Of Johannisberg, at Frankfurt on the
Rhine. That was before his exile from
Austria, as result of the revolution
airy outbreaks of AS, had come to an
end. We had many talks together,
and one evening. when the prince was
entertaining quite a party of friends,
ne was asked if he ever saw the first
Napoleon excepting in ultra-offcial re-
lations.
Metternich replied that while he
