But for some- time railroads have become exceeding- , 1: interested in the use of electricity \ its a means of meeting the competition , of traction companies between local points. To purchase outright these companies or to install electricity on the steam lines themselves is rapidly becoming the method of operation. The Pennsylvania railroad early began this by gaining control in the traction lines in northern New Jersey, ‘ad rc~ costly the New Haven road acquired in a Very: short time many traction lines ' in this section. These two systems of steam roads are operating jointly in effecting great changes about New York which will mean eventually a consolidation oi ;. some sort. The Pennsylvania road is ~ gradually electrifying its terminals about New York and its Long Island ', road beyond Brooklyn. The New Hav- en road in like manner is electrifying its main line from Stamford to New York. In other parts of the country and in some sections of Europe also ’ this change to electricity whenever .. _ practicable is going on. it all means , ... an expenditure 'of many millions of " donors, but good results will follow in time in the cheapening of opera.- tions and cleaner and more comfort» bio conditions of travel for the public. ,jttsiifying the practical wisdom of of- ficials who have decided to enter upon those gigantic enterprises. 0n the other hand an interesting question that is sure to be asked is, what new problems are likely to arise affecting the public rights and wel- fare? No change so comprehensive and on such a vast scale as that now un- der observation can take place with- out bringing new problems to the. front. The absorption of street lines by steam roads is one that, gives these roads whose franchises never at the first contemplated anything of the sort an interest in the streets of every city I where this extension of property hold— ings is being made. A municipality will receive great advantages httt nev- ertheless must be mindful of its own rightful possession of its treets and seek uch an adjustment of it relation to operating companies as will secure . an equitable good to both sides. l i Mayor Busse. of Chicago, who is a stout. jolly-looking man, with an ap- pearnnce of “go" about him. is cred- ited with the shortest message on rec- , rd, containing 200 words.

INDUSTRIES iNTEREFER ED WITH. Strike of Sailors in Caspian Sea Hind- ers Operation of Naphtha Flotilla. ST. PETERSBIJRG. April Bimltus- nitlll industry is being placed in it crit- ical situation owing to the continuance of the strike of sailors belonging to the... naphtha flotilla on the Caspian Sea.’ Tile efforts of [iaron 'I‘uube. chief of the gelldarmerie corps. who has been detailed to deal independently with the strike, have not been Successful. Only ten of several hundred tank steamers are in operation and both sides are determined to continue the strike. The oil residue. known an inn- sent, is the principal fuel used by the factories ill Central Russia. the. stocks of which are now exhausted. Naviga- tion will open ill ,1 few days. but. ow- ing to the strike the reservoirs below Ai‘ll'ilkllilily which supply the river sit-umers, are empty, and the. shippers are unable to take. lilivatlllige of the short, period of high water. A verit~ nblc panic has been precipitated on the Kazan [Source by the announce- ment made by the representatives of the oil companies that no mazout is available even‘ for steamer fuel. Lending industrial n'lagnstes have telegraphed to the lower house of par- liament. asking that body to intervene. The president. of the Moscow liourse today expressed the opinion that a con- tinuance of the strike would force most of the factories to suspend. which would throw hundreds of thousands of men out. of work.

SUPERIOR- LATIN Tris LANGUAGE. its Possibilities Overlooked by Those Seeking for a World Speech. The following appeared ill the New York Times. Sitturl‘iny: Your recent editorial on a “Restor- ed" Latin" is somewhat suggestive. it has alwnys seemed to the writer that if one-hull of the energy and ingenuity displayed in the. creation of Volnpuk. Esperanto and kindred enterprises httd been devoted to simplifying and regu~ lurizing Latin the dream of a universal language would have been nearer it fulfillment. The scholars of the i‘telinisszlnct- Iworo such cxtrcnio purists that. iiir‘l‘ made a foticll of Latin and maritime! in. possible utility for everyday use. The advantages of Latin are many; its adoption would excite no national prejudices. it is extensively studied even today, its vocabulary is copious and has yielded tribllllc to uouriy every cultivated tongue. lil filct, we have in Latin n reluiy-nuuie language whose ,possibilitics seem to have been over looked by thorn: striving for a world speech. Classical scholars sneered at nionkish and inw Latin, but the monks ,and lawyers were making of Latin a i working tool for thought and business; * hilt because they coined words and did not always comply with grammatical rules and idioms of the Augustan age they were held up toscorn and criti- cism. nndnuy departure from the still. dnrds of antiquity was regarded as sitc- rilcgc. The growth of the language qucsthn in many countries, Where it is consid- ered us a. badge of patriotism, would seem to postpone, at least. if not for- bid. the adoption of any modern lan~ guoge as a. master tongue, and until this spirit subsides no nation can hope to see its speech spread much beyond its borders. . The grant difliculty with any speech, made, ill! you say, ”ltd hoc." is that the mother tongue of the builder plays. no consciously perhaps. such a part in its collstl'llction;, ii glance at Esperanto reveals this. The utility and desiriu bility of a world language are such that. they prove themselves. lull. tlic tilieiltion naturally arises. Whtlt. shall it, be? Each notion thinks its tongue is, or ought to be, the speech of Pflfilr disc. and lo adlllitrtllat. there might. ho a. better and simpler language would savor of treason. it scouts to the writer that. Latin sim- plified and regularized would. be more. readily accepted by the world than any purely artificial language, however, ideal and scientific in its construction.
