But LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY the latest and greatest Bolak development is one which carried to its logical conclusion will spread the practical use of the Blue Language from China to Peru. For M.

The said scheme is feresha- dowed in his brochure, which bears the insorip- tion, "Forward to fraternity, through the international idiom, through the language colour of the heavens, through the Blue Lan gunge!"
M. Ballaok's idea is to send a free copy of his text-book of the language to 10,000 merchants in every part of the work. In each book will be printed the names of the whole 10,000 firms, W..0, M. Bollack points out, will thus secure an excealingly valuable free advertisement.
