Making a LANGUAGE,

An alleged improvement upon the
"international' language, Esperanto"
Is the result of the labors of a sub
committee appointed by the interna-
tional committee on artificial Ian
guages which met in Paris, under the
presidency of the famous chemist,
Prof. OSWALD, in 1907. This new "in-
ter-language' is called lido" 1t has
its dictionaries. grammars and read
ers, prepared for the use of readers
of eight or nine existing languages. It
has been described as a "quintessence
of European languages" and It's advo-
Gates claim that It is simpler and
easier to learn than Esperanto" and
that many are adopting It. Prof. Otto
Jespersen says it is purified Esper-
anto, freed from the arbitrary word
coinages and word-clipping of that
language. its illogical and insufficient
rules of wordformation and its clumsy
alphabet Companion.

ELECTRICITY IN BIBLE TIMES
Some Have Offered an Explana-
tlon for Miracles by supposino
Its Use.


An electrical engineer of Munich
named Stadenmann makes an ingeni-
Gus argument to prove that the Jews
In the time of Moses had an advanced
knowledge of electricity, using pas
sages from the Bible to enforce his
claim.
His theory of the famed serpent of
bronze is that 1t was lightning con-
ductor; and he also says that the tenn
pie at Jerusalem was protected by
metal points connected with the
ground.
The most ingenious speculation is in
regard to the work of the covenant,
which was made of walls of wood COW
cred on both sides with metal. If this
were connected with metal teeth on
the temple roof, 1t would form a sort
of leyden jar charged by the electricity
of the atmosphere, and would give a
shock to anyone touching 1t.
| Mr.. Stadenmann presumes that
Moses gained his knowledge of cleo.
tricity from the Egyptians. This an.
Client race certainly had a knowledge
of many branches of science that II
took the rest of the world thousands
of years to learn. But the only proof
that they were electrical engineers
is one recently advanced by an archie
ologist--that they must have had cleo
trio lights because their underground
temples show no traces of smoke.

Jewish Longing for Palestine.

As long ago as 1865 Sabati Zevi set

whole century the great bulk Of the
people refused to be disillusioned It
