CINCINNATI. o., Feb. IT. y The
goat OF the Ohio Grand Lodge Of Ma
sons IS grooming ut the prospect OF
having to carry the heaviest load he
has ever known tomorrow, when WI.
liam II. Taft will be indicted into the
ancient fraternity. The President.
elect has been rendered the honor Of
being made a Mason at sight, and the
ceremony OF Initiation has been set
for tomorrow. Many prominent mem
bers Of the order are here to complete
the final plans for the ceremony.
This honor is SO rarely conferred
that there Is hut single instance Of
it on record In The hundred years OF
history Of Masonry in Ohio, whentl In
1882 Asa A, bushnell. of Springfield,
was male a Mason ct sight, 5i,.
Before bis nomination Mr.. Taft had
expressed a desire to become a Mason,
but his enforced absence from home
prevented him from complying with
the usual requirements for the lnitia-
ton and advancement OF candidates.
Invitations to the ceremonies nave
been sent to the grand masters Of all
the other States In the Union. IS

tn subjects, They vii be used at the

conference. VA
President Roosevelt feels that the
connection between the United States
and the two nations which lie to the
north ana south Is so Intimate that
they can consider their mutual inter-
ests with regard to natural resources
from the standpoint OF the general
welfare Of the continent. with small
regard to the political boundary lines
which separate them. Indeed, 1t Is
said that he considered inviting Can,
ada and Mexico to the first conserva.
.ton conference at the White House,
but that he refrained from doing SO
because he was unwilling to run the
remotest risk Of asking these two ma
tions to associate themselves with the
conservation movement before 1t was
certain that It was going to succeed.
Now that success Is assured he feels
that since the two nations have iden-
tical interests tand identical asp'r.al-
tons they can work together along
conservation lines just as the, repre-
sentatiyes Of the States work together
without regard to State boundaries.

BIOGRAPHICAL CALENDAR.

Fifty years ago. in the little to'' n
Of Biolostlck. Poland, Or. Lndovic l.n:-
arns zanlenhot was born. During his
youth he perceived that q large, par'
OF the hatred and bitterness manifest
ed by the four races living there TO-
gether was due TO the misunderstood
Ing caused by difference In IAN
guage. Although he became an oc''-
list by profession, he devoted q large
part Of his time to the study OF ian
guage, and in 1887, after twenty yea"s
Of Amos, constant labor. he published
his scheme OF a new international an'l
universal! language This is now
called Esperanto and II has won adj
herents, in every part Of the civilized
globe. * q
Dr., Zamenhoif now lives at War
saw, where he first began the propa'
ganda Of Esperanto. Russia was taa
scene Of the first activity. Many
writer's cf.real literary ability took Up
the language, tlanslating into t Rus
Sian and Polish classics and demon.
strating that Esperanto, far from be'
ing a mere mechanical aggregation oil
founulae, was q living tongue. With
a style and spirit Of It's own. capable
of rendering the most delicate AMI
subtle meanings in novels and poetry.
Little by little text books and die
tionaries were prepared In the variot7
languages, and WITH amazing steaal.
ness groups and societies kept form.
Ing. T.len came the first world con-
gress at Boulogne.sur.Mer France,
IN 1905. the one event which definitely
established in the eyes OF the world
the validity OF the claims which hal
been made for Esperanto. Represen'
tatlves OF some thirty nations met
with tremendous enthusiasm, to iird
their widest hopes realized. Many OF
them Ind learned the new language
wholly from books. II was a dramatic
moment when DR.. zamenholf arose TO
open the session. ! He begun his
speech In the iIom which he himself
had created and many Of the dele-
gates then heald spoken Esperanto
for the first time. As those luoll
sentences rolled forth, perfectly clear
and intellIgible, the delight Of that
heterogeneous audience was some
