JULES VERNE IS DEAD

Writer of Quasi-Scientific Romances
Which Have Scored Brilliant and
Lasting Successes and Appealed in
Special Sense to the Imagination
of Youthful Readers of Nearly All
Nationalities Succumbs to Diabetes.
Amiens, France, BY Cable.-Jules
Verne died at $40 p. m. His family
was at his bedside.
NJ. Verne had been subject to chron-
ic diabetes but it did not assume crit
ical aspect until March 10. Since then
he gradually failed and the end was
hastened by stroke of paralysis COW
ering his right side until the tongue
was affected. The sick man retained
consciousness until just before his
death, his brain being the last organ
to fail. He calmly forsaw death, call
ed the members of his family to his
bedside, and discussed his departure.
Following the announcement Of M.
Verne's death, kilograms were re-
ceived from many headquarters. 1t is
expected that the burial will take
place here. where M. Verne has long
lived and where his most notable ro-
manceS were written.
Jules Nerne was born at Nantes,
France, in 1928. He studied law both
at home and in Paris, but never prac-
ticed. In leisure hours he began writ
ting pieces for the stage, and in 1853
his first work. Five Weeks in a Bal
loon," appeared. The quasiscientific
style employed in that romance was
so successful that others in similar
vein followed and his series of mar
velous romances have made his name
almost household word. His best
known works are: 100000 Leagues
Under the Sea-" THE Mysterious Is

Strogoff," Adventures of Captain
Hatteras," Dick Sands. the Boy Cap
tain Around the World in Eighty
Days." "A Desert of Ice" "Robur, the
Conqueror," and "A Country of Dia.
monds."
An unsuccessful attempt on his life
was made in 1886. In 1890 he publish
ed his last books. "A Family Without
a Name" and THE Purchase of the
North Pole"
One of the most affecting incidents
Of his last illness was the great num-
Der of letters and kilograms from chill
dren of every nationality. attesting the
admiration in which the author was
held His works have been trans
lated into many languages.

for public comfort and civic beauty.
Nearly 100000 has been expended
for tree planting on the bOulevards OF
Paris. The New England cities owe
their attractiveness to noble elms that
grace the streets. The Providence

public to Arbor Day, says that Rhode

PERSIAN RUGS
FOR AMERICANS

The rug and carpet trade Of the
province Of Azerbaijan, is of special
interest in this connection, as about
nine.tenths Of the product finds It's way
directly or indirectly to the United
States.
The rug industry Of Tabriz dates far
back; the products Of It's looms are
regarded by many as the most beau
tiful among the many varieties Of
Persian rugs. There is one largo fac
tory in the city, where ] found over
1000 lads busily occupied on rugs of
all sizes and designs. Many were re-
producing the old patterns which were
In vogue over 500 years ago, and are
still admired in both h~emispheres
These lads work with great rapidity,
and earn from $3.50 to 1925 per month
The number Of operatives in this one
factory is largely increased in flush
times. There are other smaller fac
tories in Tabriz and in the lesser towns
while individual looms are encountered
in most Of the villages.
A few years z aniline dyes were
extensively used to dye the yarns EN-
ployed in making rugs, and the effect
was quickly felt in the decreased de.
mands from abroad. In order "a
counterfeit the evil results the govern.
ment very promptly resorted to the ex-
IRENE measure Of prohibiting the entry
Of aniline dyes. The measures taken
in this respect have been fairly sue
c%essful, and now but few rugs show
traces of aniline colors. While thus
striving to maintain the reputation of
the Tabriz rugs at the place Of mnnu'
faeture, much dissatisfaction Is 81
pressed by those engaged in the trade
at the treatment to which the products
Of Tabriz looms are frequently exposed
after reaching America. In order TO
meet changing whims Of fashion, GER
tain tints are often altered into more
popular hues. The methods Of bringing
about these chromatic changes are Of
a nature which not only AFFECT the
original color schemes, but frequently
impair the permanenee Of the rug, thuf
seriously injuring the reputation Of the
wares.
Three years ago the rug trade was
in an extremely prosperous condition
Toward the close Of 1908 the demand
from America reached an unpreeedent
ed figure, and prices rose rapidly In
| consequence. The sO-ealled "Mosuls''
were trebled in value, the "Kermans''
more than doubled, while the "Heriz''
and "sultanabad" varieties showed
Hess marked increases. The manufae'
ture Of all grades Of rugs was largely
augmented. and local dealers laid In
large stocks 1t the high quotations
When American purchasers refused &C
buy at the new rates, the market wal
enormously overlooked. Prices fell
rapidly to figures in many eases beio"
those Of 1902. Many establishment
Of long standing we're ruined, and th'
whole trade was sadly demoralized.
II Is now slowly recovering. The dc
mand from America is increasing, and
manufacture is being extended In d
normal and healthful manner. Thii
applies, however, more particularly =
rugs Of wool. The silk rugs, for which
Tabriz has long been famous, fail ut
ssrIy to bring remunerative prices, anC
