Languages of the World

How ll.s.ny men, If asked how many languages there were in the world, could give anything like an accurate answer! asks Answers The average mans knowl- edge or ability to speak languages rarely exceeds two besides his native tongue, yet we find that the Emperor Francis Jo- seph. when visiting a Red Cross hospital, recently spoke with the patients in their own languages, which shows the aged Emperor to be master of six.
 It may appear strange but it is never theless true, that there are over 4000 lam guages spoken by mankind. while the number of dialects exceeds this. There are more than 60 vocabularies in Brazil, and in Mexico the Nahua is broken up into some TOO dialects. There are hundreds in Borneo, while in Australia there is no classifying the complexities. Let us as- sume that b0 dialects, on an average, be- long to each language and we have the colossal total of &0,000 linguistic abilities.
 A century hence the probability is that there will only be four languages of inn portance in <he world. Central Europe may produce a newer and more straight forward German language, imperial Eng fish may reign alone over the North American continent, while more busi- ness-like Spanish will be used in South American states. While Russia may take on some more rich Slavonic dialect, which will blend the races of eastern Europe and central Asia into harmonious feder- ation So that in future these four lam guages will enter into what may be a never-ending competition.

 He was a new customer from the country and he had. given a fairly large order. The courteous old senior partner was conducting him over the establishment and the various im- provements caused MT. Giles boundless astonishment. A table telephone, witii loud speaking attachment, interest ed him as much as anything. He had never seen anything of the sort be- fore.
 "It is a great convenience to us," ex- plained the senior partner. You see, I can communicate with all our depart ments without moving from my seat here"
 My. that's wonderful" said Giles. Can I try it for myself?'

 The visitor got himself switched on to the packing room.

Brazelton at left forward also showed lack of form but pleased the fans with two sensational shots from the center of the floor. He will improve. Bob Barker and Creswell Black, the two recruit guards, played hard and well. Neither of them are exceptionally fast but they are good. consistent players and especially hard blockers In the short time that Biscoe Seals. the veteran guard. got in the game he injected life into the players and managed to ring up two good shots.

MAN WHO RULED FOR A DAY
When Senator Atchison of Missouri
 Was President of United States

Three times in the history of the United States the possibility has arisen of the nation being without an elected City Star. Those were when inaugural day fell on Sunday. Twice the possibility was obviated by the President elect taking the oath of office in private, in 1921 and 1877.
 In 1s4s Zachary Taylor did not reach Washington in time for a private admin istration of the oath, and so, for one day, David Rice Atchison, senator from Missouri. was legal President of the United States. No act of any sort oc- cured that day to perpetuate his name in that capacity.
 Senator Atchison was president pro tenn of the Senate when the terms of office of President James K. Polk and Vice Presi- dent George M. Dallas expired at mid- night March 4. Under the succession law of 1792 which was in effect then, the president pro tenn of the Senate became chief executive of the nation when, for any reason, the President and vice presi- dent became incapaciated for duty. In 1886 that law was changed, making the Secre- tary of State and other cabinet officers next in line for the presidency after the vice president, instead of the president pro tenn and the speaker of the House of Representatives.
 Senator Atchison. during his lifetime, was most fond of urging hls claim to be called twelfth President of the United States in history. It was' source of great amusement to him. He claimed the distinction of being the only Presi- dent from state west of the Mississippi. the President whose term of office was the shortest. and the only President who never signed his name as such.

The Home Library

The domestic or home, library usually consists of disorganized and incoherent
 mass of classics and best sellers of the
 day before yesterday, which lean up against each other as if they had been out all night, says Life. These are stocked
 in a series of shelves, in front of which
 usually stands a sofa, on guard.
 Sometimes there will be an imposing
 looking black walnut bookcase with
 leaded glass doors-a holdover from
 previous generation. In this case there
 will repose, on the bottom of the sheir,
 some volumes of Harper's Magazine.
 Above these you may see the first edi-
 ton of 'Innocents Abroad" and an an-
 cient copy of Shakespeare, expurgated for
 family use, with steel engravings.
 But even this kind of library is be-
 coming rarer all the time. The sporadic
 modern growth usually consists of
 set of revamped histories in 20 or so volumes foisted upon the unsophisticated owner by some contemplating book agent, each set numbered and de luxe, and not infreuuently in a binding which Is dra- matically announced to be an actual copy of sets in the Vatican. as if the Vatican did not already have enough sins to an- swer forl
 But how rare in these days is an in telligent home library. one that is being properly exercised each day, with the bloom of health upon it's cheeks and real Inspiration in it's eyes. How changed are things nowadays from the time when Wordsworth exclaimed:
 And books we know are substantial world"
 lSow if anything, they have become an unsubstantial world, something to be tucked away in dark corners, crowded out by phonograph records and motor car and moving picture magazines. And yet there are, in round numbers, said to be about 20.000 volumes published III lsnghsn each year. Where do they go! Who reads them?
 Perhaps our college professors are do- ing it. With a growing sense of their | literary responsibilities, may be they feel | obliged to read all these books. Per l haps that is why they are becoming SC | unintelligent.

 The boys from Missouri were same lot and showed an excellent passing game, but they were way off in their shooting. As the B. A. C. baskets are made according to the regulations and not the size of washtubs, the Ostec- paths missed very often. In fact, they made only six ringers throughout the whole game.
 The game was called at s:45 o'clock by Referee z. Nespor. It was decided to play 20-minutes halves
 As Referee Nespor tossed the ball in the air and blew his whistle Luther Strange, the former high school star, gave 1t a slight tap, tucked to the right and received the ball from Tommie Me Gowan and shot with precision for the goal for the first marked three sec onds after the game started, A few seconds later Mr. Strange repeated. And then Tommie McGowan rang one up from a difficult angle and it looked as if 1t was going to be runaway affair but Captain Olds and Center Pe- terson of the Osteopaths each got a marker in rapid succession and the game settled down to a slow wearing down affair The first half ended with the score 19 to 10 with the B.

 In the second half the Osteopaths had two men in the game, Mannhart ana Fosterer, but the Athletic club lineup was unchanged.

 After this scoring Dr. Glow called time and substituted Strange for Braz- elton at left forward and Biscoe Seals at center in place of Strange. Ihis change speeded up the game and the
