While n fair was being held recently
In a small town in Belgium the wner
of a menagerie announced that II OF
the villagers. who was know to pos

evening a cage containing w lions
and would remain there fifteen min

When this was nolsed abroad. every
one determined to witness the novel

cral hundred persons In front of the
lions cage when the performance be
gan.
At a signal from the owner the cour-
ageous villuger entered the cage and
stood watching the lions. They, how
ever, took not the slightest notice of
him. md aft " the fifteen minutes had
expired he left the cage. As he did so

Chinese is an Geographic language.
1t conveys the idea and not the word
for q thing, as the figure 8 represents
the idea and not the word. The Chi
nese have invented more than 10000
marks for their writing. but 1t requires
only about 5000 marks for mercantile
correspondence. and 1t Is said to be
easier to learn them than the words Of
an ordinary foreign language. Russian
is more difficult for Americans than
Chinese. 1t takes much longer to learn
the spoken language because of the va
riety of dialects. but any one can learn
enough of the writings to answer or
binary purposes in n few months and
have his knowledge perfected by q
linguist within about n year. Exact
