Show PLACE IN PANTHEON A8HES OF ZOLA, THE NOVELIST, TO BE INTERRED THERE. Tardy Honors to Bt Paid to the ty Memory of th Noted French Writer by Hla Countrymen. The removal next month of the reZola, the novelist, to an hon ored place In the Fantheon at Farts Is a striking Illustration of how In a few years the public attitude towards a man and a man's memory can change. When Zola died less than six years ago, he was secure In his fame as one of the three greatest living writers, the other two being Tolstoi and Ibsen. The outcome of the Dreyfus case had shown convincingly that Zola had been on the side of right, and had been a truer Frenchman than his traducers in striving to undo the wrong committed to the victim of Devil's Island, but even then his funeral was the occasion for disorders that approached dangerously near to being riots. When It was suggested that Dreyfus, who owed his life to the Interference of Zola at that critical Instant when all France had about become convinced of bis guilt, should speak at the funeral, there was a storm of protest, and It was not until Jdme, Zola appealed for the privilege of being allowed to bury her dead quietly and without pomp that the funeral was permitted to proceed. The decision to remove the ashes of Zola from his present resting place In the Zola lot to the Fantheon was made In 1906. It might have been accomplished sooner except that Mme. Zola was never In full sympathy with the project. She has always contended, perhaps a little bitterly, that no further nonors are necessary to the fame of her husband. The work he did In literature and the heroic light for Dreyfus are held by her to be greater monuments to his reputation than any possible action on the part of his contemporaries. But the nation wants Zola In the Fantheon. Ferhaps a little pricking of the conscience, an echo of the recent remarkable reaction In public sentiment evinced when Dreyfus restored to rank was wildly applauded by the very people who formerly hissed him, has extended to the memory of his only friend of power in the dark days. March 21 was the first date set for the removal of the body to the Fantheon, then there was a postponement till April 2. Then it was found that the Pantheon could not be made ready that early and the date was set for June. Therefore, with the foremost men of France assisting, the body will be removed, and taken In state to the place set apart by the nation for per mains of 1 i t, i i1 i i'! if I: f t 2 i petual homage to the country's great. Not even now In the face of even this signal honor has the last enemy been pacified. The duke of Montebello has asked permission of Premier Clemenceau to remove the remains of his Illustrious grandfather, the famous Marshal Lannes, from the Pantheon before the remains of Zola, traducer of the army, have been Interred there. The premier has Indignantly refused, and there will be no such Insult permitted. In his life Zola ever thirsted for honor, and the fact that It was denied him by his own people was a source of bitterest disappointment to him. He lived In the period when he saw the announcement of one of his novels an event of International literary Impor- JtyoabH.W'j Of M Ml f I , iJ one-fourt- h .

Alphonse Daudet, a great contemporary of Zola, was also denied admission, but he reviled the academy, laughed and made light of his exclusion, saying that he had no desire to belong to an Institution that had been so blind as to keep out Balzac. But Zola never shared this viewpoint. He was a perpetual candidate, arl every time a vacancy occurred he sought votes.

The great practical utility of the magnetic survey made In the Pacific ocean by the yacht Galilee since 1905 is shown by a new magnetic chart, from which it appears that the charts previously used by navigators In the pacific ocean were erroneous along some routes to the extent of from three to five degrees, and the errors at times were systematic.
