DEATH OF JULES VERNE.
NOTED FRENCH WRITER sUo-
 CUMBS TO DIABETES.

Retains Consciousness Until Shortly
 Before the End, His Brain Being the
 Last Organ Except the Heart to Fail
 --CaIIed Members of His Family to
 His Bedside. .- .,- .....
 Amiens, France, March 2.-Jules Verne died at 9:1O ?. m. His family was at his bedside. ls =,
 M Verne had been subject to chronic diabetes, but it did not assume a crit ical aspect until March 10. The sick man retained consciousness until short ly before his death. his brain being the last organ, except the heart, to fail. He calmly foresaw his death, called the members of his family to his bedside and discussed his departure.
 Following the announcement of M. Verne's death telegrams were received from many quarters, including distin- guished authors.
 Jules Verne, one of the most prolific and imaginative of modern writers of fiction, whose stories have been trans lated into most European languages, was born at Nantee, February 8, 1928, and was the youngest of three brothers, the eldest of whom died in 1889, at the remarkable age of no. He was educated at his native town, and at Paris, where he studied law. Among the most widely known of Verne's works may De cited 'The Ad- ventures of Captain Hatteras," Mich ael Strogoff." and Around the World in Eighty Days, both of which were adapted for the stage with great finarl- cial success; A Voyage to the Center of the Earth. "From,ithe Earth to.the Moon,'' Doctor ox.tt,, Hector Serya- dae," and The Children of Captain Grant" but there are dozens of others almost as entertaining, and the mod ern dirigible balloon, the automobile, the submarine, and some of the latest developments in artillery and torpedo warfare have come near to realizing several of what seemed to be his wild est feats of imagination. Not few of them, indeed, were suggested by actual discoveries. and his deductions from pseuo-scientific premises were often So artfully and ingeniously elaborated that it was by no means easy to point out just wherein the fallacy existed. The untiring freshness of his imagina- tion was always a subject for wonder.
