Comparison Of Languages.

Living before recorded history, in
what is often referred to as cave man
times, this ancient people from whom
are descended all of the modern Eur
opean races left us little with which
we might learn of their culture and
daily life. All that we have is a meth
cd Of comparative language study by
which we find their own language. and
hence much about their civilization.
Philologists have discovered that the
languages of quarter of billion peo-
pie in Asia and most of the inhabi-
tants of Europe, North and South
America and other regions of the
earth cOlonized by Europeans are fun
damentally alike. That is. Latin, Ger
man. Russian and Greek are at the
bottom of same, having all descended
from the same parent language. Pro-
fessor Bender says: Language is the
best evidence of community, OF life
and culture, and we can at least as
sume that at some time and in some
more or less definite territory there
dwelt a people, or group Of peoples
racially pure or racially mixed, who
lived To large extent a common life,
and who spoke a tongue which was
the common ancestor Of the languages
now spoken by the majority Of the
civilized peoples of the earth.
"With the beginnings Of the science
of comparative phiIology early In the
Nineteenth century came the knowl-
edge that Sanscrit was the oldest of
the Indo-European languages-if not

The search by ethnologists and other

be of interest:

the independence of the Ford indus

an abundant production of aluminium

Washington, Aug. Awhile rain
fall was generally very light in the
