THE DEATH OF JULES VERNE. Who will not grieve at the news of the death of Jules Verne? A right royal roy-al brain and heart had he, and his writings were the delight of mankind In every clime and under" every condition condi-tion of Jlfe. And not only a universal delight were they, but they gave spur to thought, and led the reader to re-llectlon re-llectlon and speculation. So plausible were many of Verne's impossibilities, so closely verging upon the realities were they, that it was often an effort of .the mind to take note of the dividing di-viding line. And this line became even more wavering from time to time, as the advances of science made their mighty strides, as in the case of his "Around tho World in Eighty Days," a dream of the Imagination when it was written, but soon to bo even surpassed In solid fact. Verne was a prolific writer, and all that he wrote was so fresh, he made such daring excursions Into untrodden fields, that the reading world awaited with Intense Interest the appearance of every new work of his. As an" entertainer enter-tainer and braln-stlmulalor of his race, Jules Verne was the chief of his time. His fame is secure. His name will live for ages, In honor and In bright remembrance.
