NEW LANGUAGES.

Since the confusion Of tongues at the
tower Of babel people have been MAX
Ing new languages, and they are still
ct 1t. A more or less eminent profess
sor Of languages in n Of the eastern
universities has recently invented an
other one. He calls It voltang. The
name sounds about as we'll as n
other, and the inventors desire is the
admirable M to devise a language
which will he simple and logical, and
which all the people Of the world will
speak. 1t is a pretty large order, and
probably he cannot I'LL it.
Just how many attempts there have
been to perform this work we do not
know. In our OWL time the most note
worthy have been those which result
ed In the invention of volapuk and
Esperanto. Each Of these made-to-
order languages had many devotees.
Each was expected by its founders to
become of general use. Each was
studied for a time by several thousand
persons. n each had several learned
devoted to Its study ana use.
And each has practically dropped out
Of sight.
All the languages that are or have
been in current use have been born,
not made. Each had its origin in the
desire Of a primitive people to express
their thoughts vocally. and in the for.
nation OF all languages the chatter of
the child, the babbling Of the brook,
the rushing Of the winds. the patter
Of the rain and the rumbling Of the

words were changed in form to adapt
them to the expressions of various
shades Of meaning. Communication
between tribes resulted in the use Of
similar symbols by a large number Of
people. and there came about the es-
Establishment of national or racial Ian
guages, with their local and tribal va
riations. Communication among great
nations has resulted in the adoption
by one nation of words and phrases
current in another, and in the chag-
liz of these forms to fit in with local
customs. Grammars and dictionaries
have been prepared to lay down rules
pertaining to the use of language. but
these rules are not rules made by any
patent process, but are rather the re-
suit of an effort to systematic and
place in order the actual practice Of
Any rule that is not based on that
practice is usually more regarded in
the breach than the observance.
All of this seems to indicate that
those who would prepare for human nifty
a patent language have a different
task before them. 1t is necessary that
there shall he some means of conf
munication among those speaking diff
ferent languages. one must know the
language of the other person, or there
must be another language which both
understand. For many years Latin
was used as such means of communi-
cation. 1t was tho language of schol-
arship diplomacy. and during the
time when it f1ourished the world re-
ally had a language which served the
purpose sought TO he served by some
of the modern Inventions. Yet Latin
fell by the wayside. Spanish and
French have been widely used. French
especially for carrying on commune
cation between governments. Today
English seems to be taking the lead
as a world language. But in spite
of all the effort that has been put
forth for many years on behalf of
soma Of the ready-made languages,
none of them has gained a foothold.
The chances are that it will he a long
time before any UGH language comes
into general use or serves any prac-
tical purpose.

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

If anyone could imagine better
weather conditions thar have beer
yiven to the people of North Dakota
this spring he has an imagination
more active than the average. There
has been nothing extraordinary about
It, nothing wonderful, but just good
average spring weather, and lots of it.
The season is not unusually early.
There was no starting of vegetation
weeks before it's time, with the re-
yultant freezing after it was we'll
ltarted. Growth started slowly, and
repeated frosts held back development.
with the result that all growth was
hardened and frost was withstood
without damage. Cool weather ia
cilitated farm work. Horses could
work without discomfort. and this
feature was Of vast importance. as
to be done. Grain was planted in a
seed bed as nearly perfect as it was
possible to make it, and cool weather
made for good growth. while the
small growth OF blade was a check on
evaporation.
Cool weather was followed by warm,
and one might imagine that a fairy
wand had been waved YER the land,
30 almost instantaneous was the
change. Immediately leaf and bios
carpets of green were enrolled over
all the fields where seed had been
sown in time. There was plenty OF
moisture in the soil. and the roots
were finding it. Then as the warm
sun dried the surface. We began to
look for clouds and to hope that it
might rain, not hat rain was special
ly needed, but it would "freshen
things up" Then the rains came,
warm showers. sometimes for a few
little here. and little there. until prac-
tically the entire state has been COW
cred. And still further. to make ev-
erything perfect, there have been the
cooler days following the rains. with
the sky flecked with passing clouds so
that there has been no baking of the
ground or scalding Of the plants. but
every drop of water has gone down
where it can carry nourishment to the
young plants.
No man can say in Tune what the
crop will be in August. But there has
never been an early June when the
conditions were better than they are
today, or when the people of the
northwest had better reason To feel
satisfied. In terms OF acres the wheat
crop Will be small. And it is not to he
expected that even with ideal condi-
tions the total wheat Weld can equal
that OF some recent years. But that
Is not a misfortune. The wheat that
has been sown under ideal condi-
tons. and there is every rea-
son to expect a good yield from
that, with the right conditions from
now on. !And the land that was UNI
der wheat3as year. and which was
not plowey in the fall, will be put to
what will ultimately prove a better
purpose. This year it will raise corn.
and barley. and other crops which can
be sown late. and which perform
three important functions. that of mel
lowing the soil. that Of giving good re-
turns on the outlay. and that Of pro-
viding feed. a very large part Of which
Will be consumed on the farms where

west have every reason to feel salts

Last year the season at Grand
Forks was all of two weeks ahead of
that AT Duluth, and this year there
is again just about the same differ
ence. When the members Of the
Grand Forks Commercial club visited
Duluth about the last of June the
lilacs had been in blossom, and the
blossom had almost all disa ppeared.
The lilacs at Duluth, of which the
city has many, were just opening out.
and few We're Vet in blossom. The

that the lilacs there are hudded. but
not blossomed. Here the blossom is

Of ice, great masses of which drifted
about, and the wind blowing from the
ice mass or from the water that was
nearly as cold as ice, has kept the air
cool, and vegetation is backward. This
is noted at the head of the
lakes every spring.
