HERE'S A NEW

It is a somewhat remarkable fact v
that justmow, when Russian and Japan | >>
are locked In a death -grip, a native
of the former country is trying to extend
to the United States a plan wnich n
f^V,.V : ' . . ~ ' some
think will do much toward
r-" '.'-.'"' . 1,
bringing about that universal peace of
J- . . which the poets have dreamed. The 0
. plan is to help all civilized peoples t]
t;.-; to a complete understanding of one an- a
- other by means of a new internal ioti- 0
al language, for which tlie most ex- n
traordinary claims In the way of sim- p
plicity and practicability are made. It t<
Is asserted that it can be learned by a a
person of ordinary intelligence in a ,]
few wdeks. says the New York Press. n
- The new language is known as Esperanto.
Its Inventor and advocate, is n
: / Dr. Lazara Zamenhof. a practicing e
f physician of Warsaw, Russian Poland, [j
v; It is not contended by Dr. Zamenhof n
V . that Esperanto should supplant exist- n
ing tongues; he offers it merely as a v
neutral language which shall supply t<
: men of divers nationalities with a ,]
means fpr mutual intercourse, while
the people of each nation go on speak- t
ing their native idiom at home and in s
the family circle. a
'
.? It will astonish most Americans to P
learn that-in Europe hundreds of so- s
cieties already have been formed to s'
push Esperanto into general use. and n
that in consequence It is making rapid s
progress. In various parts of Europe s'
magazines are now published in the
new language, and with the conspic- n
uous exception of the United States
there is hardly an important country
in the civilized world that does not
possess its Esperanto-center. There is,
- V'
however, an Esperanto section at the
. St. Louis exposition, and the inventor
hopes that, this will do much to arouse
V interest here in the cause. ,
- Iv
Esperanto, it is asserted, is free ^
from the objections that caused the , '
o downfall of Volapuk. which a few
years ago was heralded as the golden
^speech that would take the place of t ^
existing languages. Volapuk went by
the board partly because of its amlii- '
tion to kill off other languages, but
chiefly because it was an involved
and difficult speech to-learn. Neither
of these objections, it is said, can be _
urged against Esperanto. In a recent
vt" number of the Independent. Dr.
juh.ulfeives u. jjuuti ultra ui .iix> in "
vention.

As to the need of it. he cites the
.. fact that in order to enjoy convs.
- pondence with foreigners if. is at present
necessary to learn at least four or
five other languages. This is so difficult
that, it is possible only to a few,
and even the few who are able to mas
ter four or five new languages find |
the largest part of the world closed
to them so far as speech is concern- j
ed. Oii the other hand, did an inter-:
.national language exist it would be .
necessary to learn only this in aclcli- i
tion to one's native tongue to under-|
' stand and be understood by the whole I
world. j
**For centuries past." says Dr. Zamenhof,
"studious youths have spent
long years in learning Latin, yet are!
there to be found many able to make ;
free use of that tongue? Had the
same youths spent but a tenth ?>t' the i
time in mastering the international :
auxiliary every human would now be
intelligible to his fellow. In a fewweeks
one can learn Esperanto sufficiently
well to be able to communicate
one's ideas with freedom."
On the score of Esperanto's sim- ]
plicity, ur. zamennoi s assertions are
really astonishing. Its entire grammar.
he says, consists of only 1(1 brief j
and simple rules, which can be master- j
ed in half an hour, while its root words '
are those already known to many of j
the old. languages. For this reason!
men of education frequently are able j
' to read it after only a few hours* j
study. Here is the testimony of Leo j
Tolstoi, the great Russian philosopher:
"So great is the facility of learning
Esperanto that, having received a
grammar dictionary and an article in
that language. I was able, after not
more than two hours, if not to write,
at any rate to read, the language freely.
In any event the sacrifices any :
speaker of a European tongue won id
make in devoting some time to the
study of Esperanto are so small, and
the results which could thereby be ;
achieved are so enormous, if all?aT
least Europeans and Americans?;
Christendom should comprehend this i
tongue, that the attempt at least
should be made."
The remarkable simplicity of Esperanto
is attributed by the inventor to
the fact that not only is the grammar
, capable of being learned in half an
hour, and is free from all exceptions, .
but because it also possesses rules
by which any person is able to coin

lenhof, "the prefix 'raal' signifies ab- l
olute opposites. (Bona good: mal- i
ona. bad). Thus, having learned the l
ords alta, dika, proksima, luma. ami, ;
stimi, supre, etc., meaning high, ]
hick. near. light, to love, to esteem, ]
hove, etc.. none need to learn the |
pposite words, malalta, malproksima. j
lalluma, malami, malestimi. malsure.
which signify low, thin, far, dark, ,
i hate, to despise, below, etc. Thus s

taking use of the prefix 'inal.'
"Also, 'in' is used to form feminineess.

otally different words, mother, sister,

"A further example is afforded by 1
he suffix 'il,' which indicates an intrument
by whose instrumentality an
ction takes place. Thus, having
earned that sonori, kombi, kudri, '
lugi mean in English to ring, comb,
ew and plow, we at once know that

onorilo, kombilo, kudrilo, plugilo,

Of these affixes, which j

CAR MANGLES CHILD.
Crowd Menaces Motorman, Who Is
Saved From the Mob By Arrival
of Policemen.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.?Four-year-old
James Sineco, of No. 74 Johnson avenue.
was instantly killed and shockingly
mangled by a Hamburg avenue
rolley car almost in front of his home
Monday evening. The streets were
crowded, and so great was the demonstration
against the motorman, Thos.
Riley, that but for prompt appearance
jf policemen he might have been
nobbed.
The boy had been playing on the
sidewalk and undertook to follow his
companions to the opposite side of
he street. His playmates got over
he tracks, but Sineco failed to hear
he car which struck him. Before it
;ould be stopped the boy went under
t and rwo wheels passed over alnost
his entire body. Two policenen
from the Stagg street' station
nade their way through the crowd
tnd saved the motormon from harm.
The mother of the boy seemed to
