As result OF the undivided atten-

have been secured during the past
few days and this morning Presidx mt
Robert L, Kelly. who has been espec-

that the fund had already been raised

We are receiving a great many

since We have several workers out

Although IL is not likely that Earl
ham will succeed in raising the S325.-

the General Education Board. they
have succeeded in gaining one-third OF
the amount, and thus receive one third
of the promised sum from the Educa-

list of the beneficiaries. The present
sum brings Earlham's endowment up
to half a million.

= \ is name is Jean Henri Fabre. His
+ address Serignan, Vaucluse, France
Remember the name. Remember the
place. If you don't you will soon be
considered hopelessly out of date, backward
For the name is that Of the most famous man
in the world today, who was born a peasant
and in direst poverty. The address is of the
place where he lives and to which scientists
and poets and sages now make pilgrimage.
]. Henri Fabre, the +" Homer of insects"
the poet of science" is 90 years old. He
was discovered In his own country, France,
only two years ago. The English speaking
world discovered him in the last few weeks
when a biography of him appeared in the
English language. Fame has come la.a in the
day to Henri Fabre. But what the benign
goddess has lost in time reaching him she now
Is making up in intensity. And all the world
is now talking of the Homer of insects and
clamoring for more knowledge, for details con-
cerning the great man W, o has remained un-
known and unhonored through the greater part
of the nineteenth and through good slice of
the twentieth century.
Public interest in the French poet-savant is

time, he has pleaded his own cause eloouently.
and with his plea pilloried the dead methods
of the scientists who disdained to take note of
his work. In his book entitled Chapters
from My Life" Fabre says:
my style, which has not the solemnity, nay,
better, the dryness, of the schools. They fear
not always be the expression of the truth.
Were to take their word for it, we are pro-
found only on condition of being obscure
You rip the animal up and study it, and
! study it alive. I make my observations
under the blue sky to the song of the Cicadas.
You subject cell and protoplasm to chemical
tests; l study instinct in its loftiest mani
festations. You pry into death; pry into
life. / write above all for the young. / want
to make them love the natural history which
you make them hate; AMI that is why, while
keeping strictly to the Gomain of truth, 1
avoid your scientific prose which too often
alas seems borrowed from some Iroquois
idiom."
But it is the personality of Fabre that is
most interesting
Maurice Maeterlinck the great poet and
dramatist, rejoices that fame has at last come
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-07
Wanted Bread More than Fame

Fabre was stung by this neglect, not because
he was fame hungry, but because he was bread
hungry. He had large family to support,
and the meager salary which he received as a
sufficient to keep the wolf from the door. For
instruments of study and research, for micro
scopes and such, he had no means But il
Fabre was neglected by the scholars of his

to the great poet scientist while he Is still
alive, even though old and feeble and blind,
instead of searching for him among corpses
which has been the fate of many other great
men, Fame is often forgetful," says Maeter-
hnck in an essay on Fabre, negligent, be-
hindhand, or unjust; and the crowd is almost
ignorant of the name of ]. H. Fabre, who is
one of the most profound and inventive
scholars, and also one of the purest writer's,
and l was going to add, one of the finest
poets of the century that is just past"
Maeterlinck halls Fabre as the revealer of
this new world of insects. He describes the

boring one of the worlds greatest men in
their midst. The greatest men of science in
France as well as iterateurs and poets, jour-
neyed to the far off village to pay homage to
the Homer of insects.
Since that day Fabre's books began to- be
read all over France for the poetry and litera-
ture that they contain besides the scientific In
formation they give. His works are now be-
ing translated in all languages. And. if the
health of the great nonagenarian keeps up
the town of Serignan, where he lives, might
become as famous pilgrimage spot as Yasna-
va Poliana was during the lifetime of Count
Tolstoi. ~

Surrounds Subject NTH Romance.
The achievement of Fehre lies in writing on
scientific subjects with the pen of poet of
seeing phenomena in the animal and insect
world with the eyes of romance. There were
many who were studying insects con-
temporaneously with Fabre, but they studied
the insect after they killed II in the dissectng
room. They studied it dead. Fabre studied
the insect as a living thing He studied the
social life of insects much the same as the
sociologist studies the social life of man.
And he wrote what he in language so
poetic, SO romantic, that critics al today at
a loss whether to class Fabre as lcientist or
rs a poet

FdbTe Life Goem OF Energy.
The life of Fabre was justly called a poem
of energy. The great scientist now destined
to share universal fame and popularity as was
shared only by one man in recent times
Count Tolstoi-was born in 1923, the son of
a peasant He obtained an education by the
merest accident and at the age of 10 or there
abouts became teacher. Long before that
time he had evinced great interest in the study
of insects. He married in 1874. His income
from teaching barely was enough to keep him
and his wife. When children came he had to
look for other revenues He studied, passed
several examinations and finally was APP
pointed assistant professor at the College Of
Avignon. He spent at that college. about
twenty-five years. During that time he pub
lished several monographs about his favorite
subject The trials and hardships he over
came alone entitle him to fame.
Had he been less absorbed in his work Fabre
would have given heed to the advice of friends,
who urged him to look more after his appear
ance and his social habits. But Fabre was
too absorbed in his work to listen to such
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-07
Greatest Nom Pay Homage.

Fabre returned to his calling as teacher,
which became more difficult as years went on.
He struggled along in poverty and want. He
was evicted from his home on occasion be-
cause the people in the town where he lived
thought he was hereto. He would have
been left homeless in the street had it not
been for John Stuart Mills prompt assistance.
The philosopher, who was then member of
parliament, sent him post haste 5000 francs.
But Fabre, the peasant, scientist, and poet,
has been discovered. On the Sd of April, 1910,
a festival was held in his honor. And the sur
prsed townspeople of Henri Fabre, who had
become accustomed to consider the old man
whom they often saw lying in the field for
hours studying some insect, an eccentric, have
suddenly become aware that they were har-

member of the Legion of Honor and was in
troduced to the Emperor Napoleon Ill. The
king talked with Fabre for some time. He
liked the provincial professor well. But Fabre
did not enjoy his visiting with royalty in the
least. He looked upon the courtiers who iut-
tered about the emperor with the same in
quisitive and critical eyes with which he stud
led such phenomena among insects. The min
lister of education noted the behavior of the
savant. He saw that the man wcs too abb
sorbed in his work to be of any at court
where etiquette WAS the first demand.

not, of course, believe their own words. They
knew better. Darwin had long ago recognized
Fabre. Pasteur visited hin in his humble
laboratory. Victor Hugo and the poet Ros-
tand were his stanch admirers. 1t was Victor

all the more keen since the cable brought the
news that with his fame has also come blind
ness. The eyes which for seventy-ive years
noted every happening, no matter how minute,
in the insect world are nc almost entirely
overhung with a deep night to which there is
no morning
Henri Fabre, whose life has been called
"poem of energy" is scientist. For the last
seventy-fve years he has been studying insects.
He has written twenty books about insects
spiders, flies, weevils, beetles, wasps, grass
hoppers, moths, ants, bees, scorpions, and a
host of others. An entire book devoted to the
life of but one insect has just been translated
into English under the title "The Life of the
Spider"
There were scientists who have written
about insects, who have written about many
other natural and physical phenomena and
who have attained a considerable degree of
fame. But fame, world wide and universal
according to those competent to judge and to
predict, is the portion of only one man-Jean
Henri Fabre, who only few years ago was
unknown except to handful of men.

was the first to observe and to tell the world
about. 1t is his studies of the social life of
the insects, thing the other scientists would
not dream of investigating, that make Fabre's
claim to universal fame, Maeterlinek asserts.
