escape of gas from a stove in their
sleeping room. Servants found him "

book called The Truth now being
published in serial form. He was born
April ,, $40. in Paris. of an Italian
father and Provencal mother. His
father died a bankrupt when he was
boy. While in school he gave no evil
denCe of extraordinary talent. His
earlier efforts at literary work. to
which he turned from the first. were
marked by the utmost poverty and dis
enlargement. He was a hack writer,
journalist, book reviewer, reporter and
story. writer His extreme realism
which he called naturalism, caused
considerable excitement. 1t was about
1870 that he turned to literature prop
er, producing several novels afterward
successfully dramatized His best
claim to fame rests on the series of
studies known collectively as the
Rougon- Macquart' stories, to which .
he devoted the best years of his liter
airy activity, dealing with social con
ditions and character during the cor
rupt period of the Second Empire. He
also wrote three stories treating of re-

Honor in ISIS, and in 1891 was made I
resident of the French Society of Men '
