    "verified_text": "le tellier, michel (1603-1685), french statesman, was born in paris on the 19th of april 1603. having entered the public service he became maitre des requetes and in 1640 intendant of piedmont; in 1643, owing to his friendship with mazarin, he became secretary of state for military affairs, being an efficient administrator. in 1677 he was made chancellor of france and he was one of those who influenced louis xiv. to revoke the edict of nantes. he died on the 30th of october 1685, a few days after the revocation had been signed. le tellier, who amassed great wealth, left two sons, one the famous statesman louvois and another who became archbishop of reims. his correspondence is in the bibliotheque nationale in paris. see l. caron, _michel le tellier, intendant d'armee au piemont_ (paris, 1881). another michel le tellier (1643-1719) was confessor of the french king louis xiv. born at vire on the 16th of december 1643 he entered the society of jesus and later became prominent in consequence of his violent attacks on the jansenists. he was appointed provincial of his order in france, but it was not until 1709 that he became the king's confessor. in this capacity all his influence was directed towards urging louis to further persecutions of the protestants. he was exiled by the regent orleans, but he had returned to france when he died at la fleche on the 2nd of september 1719. lethal (lat. _lethalis_, for _letalis_, deadly, from _letum_, death; the spelling is due to a confusion with gr. [greek: lethe], forgetfulness), an adjective meaning \"deadly,\" \"fatal,\" especially as applied to weapons, drugs, &c. a \"lethal chamber\" is a room or receptacle in which animals may be put to death painlessly, by the admission of poisonous gases. lethargy (gr. [greek: lethargia], from [greek: lethe], forgetfulness), drowsiness, torpor. in pathology the term is used of a morbid condition of deep and lasting sleep from which the sufferer can be with difficulty and only temporarily aroused. the term negro or african lethargy was formerly applied to the disease now generally known as \"sleeping sickness\" (q.v.). lethe (\"oblivion\"), in greek mythology, the daughter of eris (hesiod, _theog._ 227) and the personification of forgetfulness. it is also the name of a river in the infernal regions. those initiated in the mysteries were taught to distinguish two streams in the lower world, one of memory and one of oblivion. directions for this purpose, written on a gold plate, have been found in a tomb at petilia, and near lebadeia, at the oracle of trophonius, which was counted an entrance to the lower world, the two springs mnemosyne and lethe were shown (pausanias ix. 39. 8). this thought begins to appear in literature in the end of the 5th century b.c., when aristophanes (_frogs_, 186) speaks of the plain of lethe. plato (_rep._ x.) embodies the idea in one of his finest myths. le treport, a maritime town of northern france in the department of seine-inferieure, on the english channel, at the mouth of the bresle, 114 m. n.n.w. of paris on the northern railway. pop. (1906) 4619. owing to its nearness to the capital, le treport is a favourite watering-place of the parisians. a good view is obtained from mont huon, which rises to the south-west of the town. the mouth of the bresle forms a small port, comprising an outer tidal harbour and an inner dock accessible to vessels drawing from 13 to 16 ft. the fisheries and oyster parks with their dependent industries, shipbuilding and glass manufacture, furnish the chief occupations of the inhabitants. coal, timber, ice and jute are imported; _articles de paris_, sugar, &c., are exported. the chief buildings are the church of st jacques (16th century), which has finely carved vaulting and good modern stained glass, and the casino erected 1896-1897. about 1 m. north-east of le treport is the small bathing resort of mers. the eu-treport canal, uniting the two towns, has a length of about 3 m., and is navigable by vessels drawing 14 ft. le treport (the ancient _ulterior portus_) was a port of some note in the middle ages and suffered from the english invasions. louis philippe twice received queen victoria here.",
