D'ALEMBE,RT BORN
200 YEARS AGO

Z French scientists, espite the war, are
celebrating today the 200th anniver-
sary of the birth of Jean lie Rond
d'A1embert, who achieved immortality
as an encyclopedias, mathematician
and philosopher. D'A1embert was the
Iillegitimate son Of the Cheva1ier Des-
touches, and poet and artillery officer,
and of Madame de Tencin, court
lady and famous beauty, who was
more famous for her loneliness and
charm than for her virtue. Imme-
diately after his birth, on Nov. Is.
1717, the infant was exposed in the
market near. the church of st. Jean
lie Rond in Paris, the unnatural moth
make this disposition of her offspring.
in the hope of averting discovery. The
child was picked up in a dying condi-
ton by the police, and finally adopted
by the wife Of a poor glazier named
Rousseau. In spite of her poverty
she lavished upon the infant great
maternal care and tenderness. To the
affection of this noble woman the
great philosopher responded fully
throughout her life. In the days of
his fame and glory Madame de- Ten
Gin, then old and without a trace Of
her former beauty, sought to reclaim
her place as his mother, but he re-
pudiated her, asserting that the glaz-
ier's wife was his real parent. D'Alem-
bert lived with that humble woman
forty years, until her death.
The Chevalier Destouches was a
better father than Madame de Tencin
was mother. He acknowledged his
paternity of the infant and settled up
on him pension Of $24O a year,
which was sufficient to provide for his
education. At the age of six he was
placed in a boarding school, but he
soon oustripped his teachers capaci-
ties, and at eleven was entered at the
Mazarin College in Paris. For a time
he studied theology, and produced
commentaries on Paul which won him
warm praise, but he soon abandoned
the study of religion and took up
mathematics His works won for him
a foremost place in the world of sci
ence. ..-,...
D'A1embert had an income of only
about $500 a year, half of which was
a pension from Frederick the Great,
but he lived so simply that he was
able to give away more than half of
it to charity Frederick, the Great
repeatedly invited the French philo-
sopher to reside at the court in Berlin,
but he declined. The Empress Cath
crime of Russia also sought to attach
D'Alembert to her train, and when he
refused on the ground that he could
not bear to separate himself from his
friends, she wrote: t'This is Of no con-
sequence; bring all your friends with
you" The philosopher was proof
against these seductions. He died in
1888, and it is said that he succumbed
to grief aroused by the death Of lady
for whom he had long entertained a
sincere affection, although she did not
reciprocate his sentiments.

WAR HAS SHOT CATTLE
PRICE SKY HIGH

of it says:

shown at the American Royal Live
Stock Show held at Kansas City, Oc-

but quality and breeding were never
better. There were fewer state-fair
adjuncts, the show resolving itself
strictly into an exhibition of the best
breeding cattle of three beef herds
Hereford, Shorthorn, and Aberdeen
Angus.
"a leading breeder was asked how
the war was affecting the demand for
pure bred cattle, and he said: The
war has brought high beef prices, and

dropped out in recent years because of
the breaking up of the ranges are now
keen to get back into cattle-raising.
