When Exiled Hugo Wrote Les Miserables'

1t is practically forgotten fact that
Victor Hugo was political exile from
France for nearly decade and a hal.
At first he was warm admirer of Ma
poleon 1.-The little" expecting great
preferment. and when his dreams OF
political power and titles shattered
the great Frenchman turned the bat
teries of his brain and pen against the
emperor.
In 1851 he fed to Brussels to avoid
imprisonment. and on reaching tn.
Belgian capital was promptly request
ed to move out OF the country. Hugo
went to England. thence to the Isle of
Jersey and started a campaign In Il
series of articles directed against the
emperor of the French. which were
so anarchistic and revolutionary IL,
tone as to attract the attention OF the
French foreign Office.
There was lot of fiery correspon-
dence which resulted in Hugo's being
ordered from the Island of Jersey by
the British government. There is Il
peculiar phase in the ruling OF the
Channel Islands. and while Jersey IT,
amenable to the British constitution.
the Island of Guernsey reserves all
its old feudal rights.
1t was to this isle that Hugo fled.
and he landed at Saint Port Peter, a
little fishing village on the south coas,
OF the island. forty-siX miles from
Cherbourg. Hugo rented house
with spacious grounds from an old
Scotchman named McCulloch. and
took up his abode. The house was
the scene of many of his greatest
literary efforts.
1t was here he wrote Les Miser-
ables." in which he embodied many of
his own experiences. The old hospital
of Les. Feuillatines appears in his
prose masterpiece. and the sufferings
of Marius from poverty in Paris were
his own, when he was a struggling
writer after the loss OF the family
fortunes.
The beautiful love scenes and di-
alogue which appear between Marius
and Cosette were really taken from
the letters which Hugo wrote to
Adele Foucher. and from those he re-
ceived from her. That famous cpl
gram. You are witty. YOU are wise.
but with all your learning you can
say no more than 1 love you," was
incense to the soul of Hugo.
The writer named his home Haute-
willie House, characteristic appella-
ton. This was surmounted with
cupola. and here Hugo erected
twelve-foot telescope on large
tripod. In fair days he would scan
the coast of his beloved France,
dreaming of her past greatness, the
wrongs and sufferngs OF her people.
and formulating those ideas which re-
suited in his epochal works.
1t was during the bitterest mom-
ents OF his exile that he wrote that

Trackless Trolley in Germany

At Eberswalde in Germany in 1891
there was an experimental trackless
trolley system installed by Berlin
engineer, Johann Brandt. for the Com

GRAFTON little over five months it was
withdrawn. This French company.
with capital of $3.50. 900. was formed
for the purpose of exploiting the pa
tents OF the Lombard Guerin system.
Having sold its patents it is now in
course OF liquidation.
The length of the Ebarswalde line
was one kilometer $3.50 feeD. run

center OF the town. For about one
half the distance the road is level
and the other half an almost uniform
grade of 8 per cent. The roadbed is
partly paved with stone blocks and

travelling trolley ran. The latter was
equipped with three-phased motor,
which was SO adjusted that the trolley
always kept at short distance ahead
OF the car.
The current was received by the
wheels OF the overhead trolley and
transmitted by a flexible cable inclos-
ing six isolated wires-three for the
three-phased motor Of the trolley, two
for the motors of the car and one
for operating an electromagnetic
brake to check the trolley in case of
necessity, as. for instance. when the
car stopped on grade. The average

came the History Of a Crime" and
that remarkable study Of the fisher
men Of Guernsey filled with nautical
inaccuracies. "Toilers OF the Saa."
All this time Hugo was at work upon
that gigantic protest against existing
conditions, LES Miserables."
He would attend on Sundays high

which was located in Saint Sampson.

miles away. After mass came six
teen-mile walk. and the sturdy figure
with tho grizzlad locks and beard,
hands behind his back and swinging
a cane. was familiar sight to the
simple fisher folk Of Guernsey.
Political plotters were frequent WISH
tors to Hauteville House. and it was
sure sign that Hugo expected one
when he would stand in front of the
driveway contemplating the shadow
OF the sun dial and comparing it with
that cast OF himself.
In 1862 LES Miserables" was given
to the world. and was printed stimuli
taneously in ten different languages.
The sensation caused by this merci-
less exposition Of mans inhumanitI
to man" and the vehement protest
against tho existing conditions in
France are remembered by many per-
sons now living. 1t really was the
most sensational work OF the nine
teenth century. and If Hugo had never
written a drama, poem or essay his
fame would have been imperishable.
The passion of the great French
man for flowers, sunshine and the
birds is APPLY illustrated in the con-
versations which Marius and Cosette
have. and it is a matter of record that
he was so jealous of his flower gar
den that, despite the fact he was in
a situation to employ a number OF
servants. he absolutely declined to
permit anyone to touch the beds.
1t cannot be truthfully said that
Hugo was social success. for he
considered himself the greatest genius
incident of his writing to Kaiser Will
helm L., offering to meet him in a
duel and settle the quarrel between
Prussia and France, as he, Hugo, was
an intellectual king, gives some idea
of how the exiled writer held him
self while a resident of Saint Port
Peter.
The simple fisher folk of Guernsey
still talk of Hugo and one of the most
charming experiences it is possible
for an individual to have is to drop
in at Mr. McCulloch's hospitable hame
and listen to the descendant of the
famous Scotch pirate tell of the many
arguments he had with the possessor
of the most brilliant literary brain
of the nineteenth century.
