Rosa Bonheur died at II o'clock Thurs
day night.
Rosa Bonheur was born II years ago,
the daughter of painter, Raymond Bon
heur, and during her time refuted the COM
plant that a woman's genius has not the
degree of recognition accorded the genius
of men. Her first public exhibition was in
1884, and long years ago her fame as the
worlds master painter of animals was as
sured. Her masterpiece was 1.-The Horse
Fair" now in the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, New York. In laying the founda-
ton Of her knowledge of animals she Wis
tied the abattoirs of Paris. disguised as
boy, and there, with the bodies of lifeless
creatures lying all about her, she made her
studies of the living and on the canvas
wrought such zwonderss thatsethe whole
world stood and looked in admiring awe.
She was tireless worker and in the last
five years of her life executed>some of her
best paintings. Animals she loved and at
BY she maintained a. vast menagerie,
where she reveled among lions, tigers and
every other kind of wild beast. The
beasts loved her. The sound of her voice
would, it is said, allay the furious rawlings
of the most savage specimen.
Years and years ago Rosa Bonheur was
one day visited by the empress of the
French.
1.-The emperor has sent you a trinket,"
said her majesty, sweetly.
The "trinket' was the cross Of the Legion
of Honor, bestowed by Napoleon Ill.

is practically a stone cement, as hard
and smooth as paint, but much less ex-

be such by the test of twenty years,
