JULES VERNE ON HIMSELF
AND OTHERS.
Mr. Gordon Jones contributes to Temple Bar an interesting interview with the venerable scientific novelist at Amiens. Asked as to the beginning of his career as an author, M. Verne
replied:-
"As early as twelve or fourteen I was never without a pen in my hand, and during my school days I was always writing, my tasks being chiefly poetical. During the whole of my life I have always had a great passion for poetical and dramatic work, and in my later youth I published a considerable number of pieces, some of which met with a fair amount of success. My second and principal career did not 'commence till I was over thirty, and was brought about by a sudden impulse. It

I remained in this state of health. two or three minutes, and I was so ill that i maggered into the first car that came and made my way home. These fainting fits frequently accurred. Sometimes I could not move at all, while I could never do mare than a crawl. When I went to bed I could not move my legs. They seemed as though they were made of iron.

"Yes," broke 'in M. Verne, "the English from their independence and self-possession make admirable heroes; especially when, in the care of Mr. Phileas Fogg, the nature of the plot requires them to be confronted at every moment with formidable and entirely
unforeseen difficulties."
He owed the suggestion of "The Green Ray to his visit to Fingal's "Cave in the Isle of Staffa:-
"The Floating City" was entirely suggested by a trip taken to America in the Great Eas; trn; and "Round the World in Eighty Days, perhaps the most celebrated of all his works, was due merely to a tourist advertisement seen by chance in the columns ofla newspaper.
Interrogated as to method of work, M.'Verne replied that until recently he invariably rose to five and did three hours' writing before break fast. The bulk of his work was done at this time. He kept himself abreast of the timestby wide reading in newspapers and periodicals, by clipping out interesting paragraph and enter ing them for fature use.
