BIOGRAPHICAL CALENDAR

DENIS DlDEROT.

A special meeting of the French
academy will be held in Paris today
to do honor to the memory of Denis
Diderot the famous philosopher who is
one of the greatest of the immortals of
France, and to arrange for proper OBJ
servance of the 200th anniversary Of
his birth three years hence. Today is
the 18th anniversary of the birth OF
Diderot, according to the most au-
thentic records available, although this
has been disputed by some biographers
who give 1713 as his natal year.
Diderot was of lowly birth, his faith
er being a cutler in Langres, the great
center of the cutlery industry OF the
country Of France
The fathers ambition was to make
his son a lawyer and he was careful
ly educated Then came dlsappolht-
ment, for the youths heart was set on
a literary career. The few years he had
spent in earning scant living ny
and teaching at Paris were

not unhappy ones for Dderot, as he
could keenly enjoy the resources within
himself
When he was 80 he married a Miss
Annette Champion. She was very
pious, narrow in her views of life and
had most unpleasant disposition.
The domestic relations in their home
was soon made worse by the irregular
life that Diderot entered upon. A Mile
Volard at length caught his wandering
affections and held them so long as she
lived His letters to her are among the
valuable literary treasures of France,
for they are vivid pen pictures of the
life of this period.
The first work of real Importance
that attracted attention of the public
TO DiderOt as a writer, was a work he
called Letters to the Blind" in which
he treated of the dependence of mems
ideas on their five senses. III took Up
the consideration of the intellect when
it was deprived of one of the senses.
In this was the suggestion that il
might be possible to teach the blind
to read through the sense of touch.
About this time one of the booksei-
lers of Paris thought of the plan a
bringing out French translation Of
Chambers encyclopedia and sent fos
Diderot to undertake the task. Full Of
enthusiasm Diederot persuaded the
man to bring out an original encyclo-
pedia and to make it a work OF vital
Importance. His proposal was careful
ly considered, money was Furnished
sufficient to carry out the plan, and
a famous philosopher, dAlembert, was
engaged to work in conjunction win /

mathematical subjects, and he alss
wrote a remarkable introduction. d.
derot wrote all the articles relating ts
the arts and trades. Twenty years Of
hard work were devoted to the ency-
clopedia-years filed with hope. al
xiety and despair. The government
suppressed it fo- its tone against re-
ligion his friends drew aside from him
when popular feeling was against him.
he ruined his eyesigbt; DAlembert re-
fused any longer to have a share in
the enterprise, and when the entire
work was finished, Diderot discoveries
that in the proofsheets the bookseller
had cut out all the passages that he
thought the government would not like.
In all these years the annual salary
of Diderot had been about $500. He
filed the remainder of his years with
varied literary efforts, but never 10

of this, and at once offered him $500
for It, Then she requested that b
keep the books at Paris till she re-
quired them. and appointed him libra

Touched profoundly by such kind
ness, Diderot set out for st. Petersburg
to thank her. The empress was very
cordial in her reception, and he re-
NAMED several months.
