THE THREADING OF voLAPUK.

THE SPREADING OF vOLAPUK.
 It is not bad thing to know this summer that Volapuk, the universal language,is mak- ing progress, and that many people in differ- ent parts of tho world look upon 1t seriously. The secretary of the North American Volapuk association has just made public some of the triumphs of the new language, and 1t must be confessed that the showing he makes Is rather impressive.
 It appears that volapuk has already enlist ed the services of ,O00 books and pamphlets and 500 societies; that more than ], ,20e stu- dents, drawn from all parts of the world, have received diplomas for proficiency in the language; that more than five hundred busi- ness houses, mostly in Europe, are using 1t in their correspondence; that more than thirty magazines, representing nineteen countries, are devoted to its advancement. It has been charged that though volapuk is universal language people living in different countries cannot understand each others writings. The secretary replies to this charge as follows: An article was translated by Dr. Boeger into Vol apuk and sent to leading students of the lan- guage in some sixteen different countries,
 with the request that they translate 1t into
 their native language and then send the
 translation to some fellow-oountryman with
 the request that he retHanslate into Volapuk,
 and by comparing this second translation
 with the original Volapuk translation it could
 be instantly decided whether the language
 was intelligible to people of these different
 nationalitiss. The result more than proved the claims made by Volapuk enthusiasts. The last translations differed in no material way from the first, and 1t was noticed that in many cases the exact words of the first trans lation were used in the last. It must be borne in mind that these last translations were written by persons of different nation i they had never seen the original translation and had only translation made into thei own language by another person from th' original Volapuk, and that these translator were also of different nationalities from tn, | original German translator.
 This is all very interesting, and perhaps i is important. VoIapuk has certainly made strong and widespread impression consider ! ing the short time since its launching. It friends and supporters are clearly numerous | and enthusiastic. How much more headwa! they can make remains to be seen. Th' probabilities are against them, but as th probabilities have been against many thing that have succeeded they have no reason fo Encouragement.

HAN AND DOG AGAINST PANTHER. A Pennsylvania P1oneer,s Desperate
 Battle With a Ferocieus Beast.

Rattle With @ Fefoct0uB Beast.
 From the Punxsutawney Spirit.1
 "Did you ever hear of John Potter's battle with the panthers" asked an old citizen of Reynoldsvllle of the Spirit maa.
 "WeIl, John Potter came to this country along about 1884 and settled on the banks of the Sandy Lick, on what is now known as the Gray farm. John was @ large, sinewy man, with any amount of courage. One day in the early spring, while the ground was still white with snow, Jehn and his wife and dog started to walk to Puaxsutawney. They had travelled only about two miles when pile of snow beside the road attract ed Johns attention. Going ap to 1t and kicking it little he discovered dead deer buried beneath it, and just then large pam thsr, which had no doubt killed the deer and covered 1t with snow, sprang from be. hind log and ran up an adjacent tree.
 "John told Nancy, his wife, to hasten stood guard under the tree. She did so, but scarcely had she gotten out of sight when the panther began te exhibit strong symp- toms of 1estlessness. It eyed the dog and snarled savagsly. Potter had no weapon but jack knife, and he had some anxiety to sec that panther remain where it was until Nancy returned with the gun. But the pan thsr did not like his quarters, and, with tremendous spring, bounded from the tree and immediately attacked the deg, which, with true canine courage, gave the beast the very best he had in the house; and, being @ large and active mastiff, he made it 50 warm for the animal that 1t retreated back up the tree. But the dog had the worst of the bat. tie. He was torn and bleeding, but still stood his ground with magnificent heroism and was furious for the fray. In tho mean time Potter had cut hickory club with his jack knife and was prepared to defend the | dog. He had not long to wait. Again the l huge beast sprang from the tree and began a life-and-dsat struggle with the dog, which
 was greatly inferior to it both In strength
 and activity.
 "But while the fierce fight between the
 panther and dog was progressing Potter | rushed in with his club and belabored the ! animal over the head with all his might, and ! soon succeeded in crushing its skull, when it
 keeled over and yielded up the ghost. Then
 John sat him down upon its lifsless carcas. | and waited for Nancy. The dog was thought 1 to be finished. He was unable to walk, and | the noble brute was left to die in silence on the field of battle, but to the surprise of his | friends he came home two weeks aftsrward, 6 thoroughly emasiated but convalescent l dog. The panther measured nine feet from his nose to the tip of his tail."
