the Dear Old Buckeye State" was the
slogan of the day In addition to the

dressed by Mr. j. B. Virden who
spoke concerning the Chautauqua to
be held here in July. He gave a syn
opsls of the fine program to be given
and encouraged thoe present

A MANUAL OF CHINESE.

The first united assault by occiden-
tails upon the enormous difficulties in
=Volved in rendering Chinese into the
tongues of the West has just been
completed by the publication of an IN
ternational manual of the Mandarin
language. The compilation and publ
cation of this work occupied a dozen
years and was tostered by the inter-
national congress of orientalists which
met at Rome in 1899
The manual is divided into two parts
the first comprising the 446 monosylia-
bic sounds of the Mandarin tongue, ar
ranged alphabetically. Each OF these
sounds, numbered from / 20 446, is ac-
companied by the Chinese telegraph
which represents it. Following this
are arranged in a column the phonetic
equivalents of that Chinese monosyl-
liable as represented in German, Amer
lean. English, Spanish, Fpeneh, Italian,
Dutch, Portuguese and Russian.
For example, the Chinese telegraph.
resembling very closely the Roman II
and representing sound which in the
Mandarin tongue is "tchi," is shown
by the charts of the new manual to be
'tschi' in German, "tche" in French,
"tsji'' in Dutch, and "chi" in Portu
guese. The compilers of the manual
can find no difference between the
American and English pronunciation
of this particular sound.
The second part Of the manual con-
tains an index to all the occidental
systems of transcription and for each
monosyllable the number and page Of
its table. Thus if one is German and
knows that the Mandarin sound "tchi'
is TECH" in German, by reference to
the index he is able to turn to chart
81 and discover that the same sound
Would be chi" in Portuguese.
OF what use beyond academic advan-
tages is this manual? 1t will help the
journalist for one thing. Supposing
telegraph editor ON Partisan
newspaper receives from an Eng
llslf news source a telegram dat
ed from Hsi-an-fu, he will find
by turning to the manual that this
name should be written ngan-fou'
in his French paper. The French edi-
tor might even allow himself to write
about a totally different place than the
one he had in mind without this guide.
Newspaper editors all over the world
nave cause to remember the tremen-
dous difficulties that confronted them
every day during the war between
Russia and Japan. when the name of
seme obscure village in Marchuria was
one thing If news conferred there came
from Russian sources, another thing if
1t came by way of Japan, and still an
other on the best maps obtainable.
Today the most conscientious carto-
graphers have duplicated names for>all
the important towns in Manchuria and
Mongolia, the Chinese and the Rus
sian corruption of Chinese. Put even
at that confusion must exist, which
the manual will tend to eradicate.-N.

FOREIGN CAPITAL IN MEXICO.
The United States Leads with About a
Billion Dollars.

OF the sum total of foreign invest
ments in Mexico the United States
has contributed almost or quite $1,000, :
100000 all of which practically is en-
ployed in industries which are not
only satisfactorily profitable To ohe
investors but most beneficial to the
country in the working out of it's mar
velous scheme Of industrial develop
ment.
This investment is greatly in exces
of the amount to be credited to any
other country. Next in the order of
amounts contributed are England.
Germany and France. According to
the most recent estimates these and
the United States compare as follows:
Great Britain, including Ca
ndda ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 100 O00,Ut
France Germany. Belgium,
Holland and Spain ..,....... 100000, 0t
1t is estimated that about As per
cent. of the American investments are
in railways and the balance in other
industries. and that GO per cent of
British investment are in railways, Il
per cent. in mining. % per cent. in
agriculture and other industrial enter
prises.
In the fiscal year 1909-10 Mexico S
exports were valued at $3.50. 05G,0o0 and
her imports at 1874, S57 600. In the tis-
cal year l90S-09 her exports We're val
ued at 1921, 900 and her imports at

and is heavily interested in contract
ing, in railways. tropical agriculture,

is more extensively engaged in mercan-
tile pursuits than is either of her COM
