V ROOF GARDEN,

On any hot summer night in New York
City a population of several hundred
thousand men, women and children are
to be found, with considerable part of
their household belongings, crowded to-
gether on the roofs of their tenement
homes. The tenement roof garden. as it
has been called, offers for most of these
people their only chance of relief from the
dark, overheated rooms below. Looking
down upon these roofs from some sky
scraper or other high altitude the lighted
town suggests a city of the far East.
Even cook stoves and ables are brought
up from the flats below, and scanty dim
ners are prepared under the broad sky.

WANTED-A WORLD LANGUAGE.

IN nonor or the memory of Gottfried
Wilhelm Leibniz, it's founder, the Berlin
Academy of Science held a special sitting
on Thursday, When a lecture was deliv-
cred by Professor Diels on the problem
OF a world language-a question in which
Ielpnlz himself was profoundly interest
ed, believing, with the lecturer, that the
lack Of such a common medium of COM
mun1catlon was a hindrance to the Guilt
walton of the sciences and to the progress
of civilization in general.
Professor Diels is a great friend of the
english language. After a reference to
the prevalence Of the Assyrian, Greek
and Latin in ancient times, he pointed
out o. in a more recent period Rich
elleu's efforts to make French the uni
versal tongue had come to naught, and
now, with the decline of that language.
the sphere of influence Of English had
gone on extending. Independently of the
immense political influence of North
America and of Great Britain and her
colonies on events in the ~world-inde-
pendently even Of the numerical prepon-
derance of the English speaking peoples
that tongue, by it's very structure. an
peared to the learned lecturer predestined
to be the worlds language of the future.
1t had thrown overheard the supernuous
alias of declination and conjugation, it
had Invested itself of gender, and, by fall
ing back upon roots, had become essen
TALLY The language of a governing peo-
pie. 1t, moreover, united in itself two
main streams of culture-the Latin and
the German. The young Englishman
while at the breast imbibed at the same
time in his language the civilizing ele-
ments of a thousand years, which to ac-
ouire cost other people money and labor
untold. The loss to mankind due to the
fact that scientific works produced among
minor but gifted peoples remained un-
known beyond the narrow limits of a lit
tie spoken language, was incalculable.
Professor Diels had not much to saw in
praise of V%olapuek. 1t was, he said, so
poorly conceived that the vowel "ue," for
example, which had a very important
place in it, was unknown in two of the
chief European languages, and, in fact,
most ~Volapuekists could not pronounce
it. The manner in which it had been
welcomed could indeed only be explained
by the crying need for some such neutral
means of intercourse. The twentieth
century, which was knocking at our doors
would, declared the lecturer, be the CEN
fury for international union. The states
were already meeting at The Hague TO
agree upon guarantees of international
peace. In the autumn the Berlin Academy
would meet the most famous academies
of other lands at Wiesbaden to found an
interacade1nical association, and, at the
wish of other German academies, had
sent an invitation to the venerable Royal
Society of London.-London News.

LAST NIGHTS RUNAWAY.

A team, hitched to a dray. which was
being loaded in front of the Butte hotel,
ran away about 1880 o'clock last night.
It made a dash straight across the street,
coll1ding with the front of the Montana
Liquor company's building. An attempt
was made to stop the team. but one of
the horses managed to kick itself free
and dashed down the street. scattering
the crowd in every direction. One man
was run down, but was not hurt.
