THE LANGUAGE PUZZLE.

China's Forty Thousand Signs and
Symbols to Perplex tho Linguist.
The language known as Wen-li is the
medium by which the classical books
Of China have been handed down. It
Is par excellence the written language
Of China, but 1t is not generally under
stood by the great mass Of the people
The spoken anguage-namely, Manda-
rin-may Also be written, and there Is
good deal of colloquial literature in
Mandarin. Versions of the Bible in the
local patois have also been produced
in several districts of the southwest,
where the dialects are very numerous
and diverse.
In the Chinese written language
there are over 10000 distinct charac-
ters or symbols, and this vast number
is being constantly increased by the
addition of new characters to repre-
sent new scientific words and modern
ideas.
Although the Chinese are considered
a literary people and have naturally
a desire for education, yet owing to
the extreme difficulty of mastering the
Chinese characters 1t Is estimated that
only one in ten Of the population can
read or rite.-Contemporary Review.
