TRACTS IN MANY TONGUES
Difficult Feats of Printing Done
Here for Missionary Work
Abroad.

One of the most difficult of all pub
fishing tasks is accomplished by the
American Tract society, which prints
not only tracts, but also books in na-
tive African languages, such as 'Mpong-
we. Bulu, Umbundu. Benga and Fang.
inasmuch as these tongues, though
spoken by millions of blacks, were not
written-or, at all events, were not
written until recently-the problem Of
rendering such works as the Pilgrims
Progress" into their vernacular in
:rinted form is beset' by many OBJ
stacles. NI'.t
For the copy dependence must be
had upon the missionaries, who write
it out in typescript. 1t has to be sent
all the way to New York to be set up
in .ype, and, as matter of course.
care must be taken that it shall be as
close to perfect accuracy as possible.
The languages are not understood
either by the men who set the type or
by the proofreaders, and so the edit
ors, who are equally ignorant on the
subject, must follow copy slavishly.
AS far as possible the typewriter
words represent Theoretically the
spoken words as uttered by the ma
ives.
Having thus translated their vocal
speech into print, the missionaries
have taught the blacks to read their
own languages, an accomplishment
which has helped greatly in their
mental and moral elevation. They
have not only simple dictionaries. but
also primers illustrated with excellent
woodcuts.

The Frisco Earthouake.

unparalleled triumphs of the camera
and the ne plus ultra of all motion
pictures are headed this way, and will
be seen at the Metropolitan on Thurs
day June z.
This will be an unequaled opportun-
ity to view the most remarkable set
of photographs ever taken in any place
or under any circumstances-the fin
ishing achievement of motion photo
grahy, the one colossal feat which
can neither be eclipsed nor equaled.
There will probably never be another
disaster like the San Francisco earth
Quake-there will never again be
series of films, taken amid the crashing
and the roaring flames.
The whole progress of the San Fran
cisco catastrophe is shown. clear cut,
faultless, perfect to the smallest detail.
The tearing, rending shock of the earth
quake is seen as the great buildings
totter to their fall. Keeling madly, then
HURTING down into shapeless heaps
of brick and stone. The sudden blot
ting out of whole streets and avenues
looms up before the eye; the destruc-
ton of Chinatown: the mad rush of
the helpless, half-clad thousands seek
ing life, only life; forgetting wealth
and tumbling homes: the outbreak of
the surging. tossing flames, and the
dynamiting of blocks and squares-all
these horrors are brought before the
view, followed by the incoming of the
soldiery: the looting and the slav-
ing of the vampires; the work of re-
lief amid the myriads tenting under
sheets and sticks in the parks and
upon the water front-film by film
these pass along, making the grandest
spectacle of this or any other age.
What nightly actor ever stormed
through such a tragedy? What death
less poet ever sang of such scene?
unequaled. unrvaled. the sum of ten
thousand tragedies in one. the San
Francisco fight films. once seen. will
never fade from the memory.

GROWTH OF TELEPHONE.
As Communities Are Brought Into
Communication Its Value
Is Enhanced.

With the extension, furthermore, of
long-distance and toll services. the
value of the, telephone is increasing
SO fast that an accelerated growth is
safely predicted, says F. W. Coburn, in
Atlantic. The limit of the usefulness
of a small local system with no outside
connections is soon reached; the op-
portunity readily to call up anybody
anywhere is the boon ultimately to be
bestowed on mankind by the telephone
engineer. AS the various communities
Of the North American continent ara
brought into communication with one
another by the extension of q sings
comprehensive system, the worth {.
the individual telephone is enhanced
1t is, of course, of greater consequence,
to be able to talk to $4,000, 600 people
than to only 500 people. Bell toll line
conversations, according to the latest
annual report of the American Tele.
phone & Telegraph company. amount
ed in 1904 to 300, 800 daily, an averae,
eight times greater than that of 4.
years ago. The mileage of toll line
wire has increased from 215,687 IL
1896 to 1.121 ,22s in 1905. In some cit
les. as in the cotton centers of the
southwest, the annual aggregate Of
long distance trafhc greatly exceeds the
local traf1c. {
