There is general disposition tt

famines and warnings that the tooth

tinct. The only time some persons
take n lobster seriously is when it !

with ptomaines.
DESPITE the psychological fact that
the lobster suggests the blped named
after it, and fiippant association o.
the latter with chorus ladies ana the
bright light life, the serious fact re-
mains that the lobster appeals as
delicacy to a great many normally
constituted persons, and, moreover, II
is; an important articleS Of commerce
Visitors to the Atlantic coast states
where the lobster industry has Hour
ished, have not failed to notice the IN
crease in price that is the complement
Of a decrease in the catch or OF the
ruthless robbing of the ocean to sup
nlv the demands of the country A
conference Of New England governors
has given serious consideration to the
report of an expert OF the hatloiia
bureau of fisheries on the waning ol
the lobster, and it might be well %
direct serious attention elsewhere &C
the possibility Of it's becoming prac-
tically extinct within a comparatively
short period.
There has been an eleNenth-liou
awakening throughout the country -
the threatened extinction OF SOME vi
our American game birds. and many
states have enacted drastic laws tc
nrotect them. In this day of conserva-
To-, &c resources the lobster situation
should be met seriously, before It i
too late. 70 say that the extinction OF
the lobster would be national caia'l-

Mexican Labor in the West.

A bulletin just issued from the de-
partment of Commerce and Labor at
Washington has some interesting facts
and figures regarding the recent influx
OF Mexican laborers into the western
part of the United States. A decade
ago immigrant Mexicans were seldom
found a hundred miles this side of the
border Now we are told that they
are coming into this country at the rate
of $4,000 or $4,000 year and that they
are found all up and down the Pacific
coast and as far inland as Iowa, Wy
oming and Illinois. In some occupa-
tons they are rapidly displacing the
Japanese, Chinese and Italians on the
Pacific slope and in the Southwest
The majority Of these Mexican i'm
migrants are transient laborers, usual
ly going back to Mexico after six
months or year in this country, al
though in Texas and California many
of them are settling down and estab-
fishing homes They are from the
peon and migratory labor class and
come from region where agriculture
and mining are the chief employments.
They are mainly of Indian blood with
slight infusion of white blood, but
are indian in physique, temperament,
character and mentality. They do the
lowest grade of work at the lowest
wages and SO are not regarded with
any race prejudice, and the fact that
they are not socially and industrially
ambitious like the immigrants from
Europe and Asia counts very much in
their favor with the white workers.
1t is said that Mexico is not at all
pleased at having this tide of emigra-
ton flowing over it's border, since labor
in that country is not adequate for the
demand Of the country's expanding in
dustries The Mexican laborers who
return carry back a new and higher
standard of living and in this way
have marked effect upon the COM
munity to which they return.

The Future Of Esperanto.

/ TUG 0tVt W 6SRVs NuSOs
Many journals in the United States
In the last few weeks have copied, from
some New York paper. an item setting
| forth the secession of New York So
ciety from the Esperanto movement.
| and prophesying the speedy death of
the language. The truth of the matter
| appears to be that, year or two ago.
the president of the New York society,
himself an accomplished linguist, urged
various notifications in the language.
A number of other Esperantists in
different PARTS of the world also pro-
posed certain changes; but not only
were these would-be reformers unable
to agree among themselves as to what
changes were needed. but they soon
found that the vast majority of the
Esperantists in the world were OPP
posed to any modification except such
as would naturally result from the
actual use of the language; and most
of the reformers themselves. as they
studied the question and the language
more profoundly. became convinced
that the proposed changes would not
be improvements, and again became
faithful supporters of DR.. Zamenhof,
the creator Of the language. Not SO
the New York president. He seeded
and many members Of the New York
society followed suit, and it was re-
ported that the organization was CIV
en- up.
The whole thing was an echo of
disturbance which took place in Eu-
rope a year or two ago. which at the
time babe fair to become serious, but
has now apparently subsidized. 1t hard
ly reached the United States press at
the time, because so few Americans
were then interested in Esperanto
The most serious feature of that dis
turbance was the discovery that one
OF the chief apparent supporters of the
language, one who had probably done
more to spread knowledge of 1t than
any other one man, had for some time
been secretly laboring to have another
language. a modified Esperanto, sub
stituted for it. When found out, he
of course seeded from the ranks; and
his influence had been SO widespread
that many feared that he would take
multitude with him. 1t was
prophesied, even by some faithful Es-
perantists. that the Dresden congress
would show great falling-off in at
tendance and in zeal. But, instead,
somebody dropped with a thud; the
congress was by far the largest and
most successful yet held; the society
of which the would-be reformer was
president (the largest Esperanto So
ciety in the world) dropped him from
office. and he is left with scarcely a
follower.
Meanwhile in this country. where the
number of Esperantists has increased
about ten-fold in the last two years,
the disaffection has hardly been felt.
From general survey of the progress
made by Esperanto in the world, the
language appears to have acquired too
strong hold to be shaken by such a
side movement. 1t is no longer an ex-
pertinent, but has apparently taken it's
pIace arno;.tr tho lapul1apac of the
world.
