THE NEW COMMON LANGUAGE

FOR THE WEST.

So much interest is being erined in this country in Esperanto that an article by Mr. J. Carey Hall, British Conaal-Coneral to Japan, Fander the above leading is sure to be rand with more than ordinary attention. It appears in the Positivial Review as follows.

1

It is not a paradox to say that the new language posssssss at cue and the same time the charms both of familiarity and novelty. The page mind of the beginner, on first reading a of it, will be divided between pleasure at re cagnising in the vocaines old scquaintances and admiration at the strange simplicity of their grammatical apparel. One of its claims to ao- captance on trial is that it is open to possible

provements; and suggestions to that end are invited by the author. The only one that has as yet occurrat to me se reframes to Its name. That in time it will become universal is not

WEATHER REPORT, ·

The Hongkong Observatory yesterday issued the following report:

On the 8th at 12:05 p.m.-The depression iring over the Sea of Japan yesterday is passing to the Pacific to the North of Hokkaido.

Of contemporary solutions, the latest is, in my opinion, the best. The Univers-Ling elaborated by Dr. H. Moleazar, of Munich, in Universal, or, he first named it, Pauroman, beyond controversy as great an improvement on Esperanto, as the latter was on Volapük. It goes much farther than its predares. bors in the right direction, that of con- and simplitation of exining matters and familiar grammatical procedures, the aroidance as much as possible of imper, cations and innovations. Volapük is now a8 dead as an addled egg; and energetic advertising has greatly helped to stimulate the languid vitality of Esperanto, But Universal is a vigorous shoot from the stook of living Europe and America speech. The sap of the Romance tongues is in it. The methot followed by the author in its production is al notion rather that logical ingenuity for his once scientific and practical. Taking in- guide, he has compared together the five great languages of the Europeso and American |
