The New Testament in Esperanto is to be
issued in 1912. Several years of work have
been put into this enterprise, for the trans
lators feel that this will be the most important
version made since the Testament was writ
ten in Greek the international language OF
two thousand years ago. Work is progressing,
also, upon book of Esperanto hymns with
music. number of collections Of hymns
without notes are already in use.
Leading Christian Endeavorers were among
the first in America to take an interest in
Esperanto. For years the Christian Endeavor
World published a regular Esperanto depart
ment. An Esperanto exhibit is regular feat
ure of the conventions of the United Society
Of Christian EndeavOr, comprising the En-
deavorers of the United States and Canada.
An extensive Esperanto exposition was pro-
vided for the Nebraska Silver Jubilee conven-
ton, held at Lincoln last October. This con-
vention attended by more than 1900 dele
lions held in the history of the Christian En-
deavor There were exhibited here number
of letters from prominent people, one of the
most interesting being statement from Helen
Keller the only deaf-blind person with col
lege education, saying that she is interested
in Esperanto and has some books about 1t.
Shortly before the convention, two three
periodicals in Europe published announce

There is an extensive organization of Es-

Convenience in Common Use Today
Evidently Was Unknown Some
Centuries Ago.

In the excavations at Pompeii and
Herculaneum no discovery appears to
have been made of anything approach
ing the nature of the modern chimney.
The earliest mention of the chimney
seems to be in an ancient Venetian
inscription over doorway, where it is
written that in 1S47 certain chimneys
In that location were demolished by
earthquakes. 1t is by conjecture only
that we are able to say that the chin
ney was known in ancient Italy. Sene-
ca, who lived during the first cen
fury of our era, invented species OF
tube which he affixed to the length
OF the wall, and it seems to have run
through floors.
Through this the heat passed from
subterranean ovens called "hypo
causts," of which remains were found
in buried cellars of houses built on
the Bay of Naples.
But in this there is no evidence OF
any chimney in the modern sense or

invention of the chimney fires were

Rats With Peculiar Stripe the Result
of Their Being Uttered in
Penitentiary.

Parental influence has been the
study of scientists for ages, and many
wonderful results have been record
ed, but the most remarkable case
known has come to light in this city.
White rats striped with brown have
been bred at the penitentiary here Dy
Newton Trusty, convict, and the
association of the rats with convicts
wearing striped colors, the body of
the clothes being white and the stripes
brown, is believed to account for
these freak rats.
Trusty was sent to the penitentiary
years ago for murder, and was to have
served a life sentence. Hope of Sc
curing parole or pardon caused him
to study out some method of making
money while in the prison, and he de-
cided to breed white rats and sell
them. He had been conducting the rat
breeding farm within the prison walls
for years before the first white rat
striped with brown made its appear
ance.

The hearth of the ancient Romans
was in the porch, but the fires lighted
there were not designed to make
houses habitable, seemingly, but were
merely an indication of hospitality to
friends.
The houses, when occasion called
for heat, were furnished with firing
pan and bellows carried from room to
room by slaves. This was in more or
less constant operation day and night
in very cold weather. In the early
centuries of the Middle Aages there
seems to have been an attempt made
to perfect the very elementary fash

difficulty. Two millenniums ago Greek was the
language of culture throughout the world,
though it was not the first international Ian
guage. Later. through the influence of the
church, Latin came to be the common tongue
of the educated. In more recent times French
has been the international language Of diplo-
macy, and, in a restricted field, Pidjin Eng
lish has served az an international language of
trade.
Within the past four centuries many prof.
ects have been advanced for a purely artifi-
cal international language but none Of them
proved practicable. A quarter OF a century
ago a doctor in Poland published pamphlet
describing his plan for an international lam
guage, signing it "Dr. Esperanto" Esperanto,
in his new language signifies zone who hopes
and the word came to be used as the name
OF the language. In this limited space one
can do no better than to quote the late DR..
Lloyd, of the University Of Liverpool, who said
that when Esperanto is roughly described
a new and artificial language, there remains
good deal to be said in qualification of both
these terms, for there.is very little in it which
did not exist in some other language before,
though often in less uniform, less exact and
less swiftly manageable form. Classi
fed philologically, Esperanto is Just simplifed

and professional affairs has been told in vari-
GUS magazines. 1t is known that many firms
issue catalogues printed wholly in Esperanto,

issued, telling all about certain cities and

WASHER WAS SMASHED

Sioux Falls, S. d., November IL
When a 'masher' went so far as to
put his arms around women he met
in the streets of Gayville, nearby
village, the men put their heads to-
gether and decided to teach the fell
low lesson. Accordingly, James
Anderson, husky citizen, attired
himself in womans clothing and in
the darkness of night strolled, to the
district where the "masher" held
forth.
Suddenly he was grasped about
the waist. Looking over his shoul-
der he saw q man. Anderson struck
him in the face and kicked his hat
into the street. In the ensuing
struggle the fellow made his escape.
The Julian Eltinge" of Gayville
followed. He says the "masher''
turned into the home Of Al Wiese.
NeighbOrs surrounded the residence
and Wiese was arrested.
He is held for trial at the March
term Of circuit court.
