According to the authorities on lan- guages. there are approximately 3,424 spoken languages or dialects in the world. They are distributed thus: America, f.624; Asia. 937; Europe. 5sT; Africa, 276.

Now the energetic grafter
 On short vacation goes, With some low and mocking laughter As he contemplates his foes. He has learned that it's imprudent To discuss hrihe alone When a stenegraphie student
 Lngers at a dictaphone- He has learned that cipher letters May too easily be solved. And that into gyves and letters
 Soon or late may be evolved He has learned that jolly strangers Feeling greenbacks from wad Are the harbingers of dangers
 That must keep q grafter awed- Not for him the teiephonie
 Conversation on the deal. Leaks along the wire are chronic
 When fellow wants to steal Not for him the telegraphie
 Confirmation of the hribe- Telegrams prove epitaphie.
 Explanations do not jibe.  So he's going in seelusion
 For week or maybe more. Tn a spot free from intrusion.
 To acquire some newer lore. Hell return for the resumption
 Of his grating after while. He's a man who has some gumptfon fntermingled with his guile, When he's back he will be able
 To discuss a brtbe at will; Dietaphones beneath the table
 Shall not feel the slightest thrill. Far away from home he fingers. But he will come back again Apt in talking on his fingers
 And they cannot catch him theni
