in 100 Years.

BH nit'd Press
ZURICH, Switzerland, June Is
The amazing growth of the English
language, surprising that of any
other during the last 100 years, was
illustrated by statistics compiled BIZ
the newspaper Neue Auercher lei
tung and published here
English was spoken by less than
200o00O0 persons in 1880. the statis-
tics showed while at present no less
than 100000 people speak it ma
lively. While an additional $4,000 un-
derstand it but Go not consider it
their native tongue
The newspaper said that the rate
of increase far outstripped all other
languages, and that there is no part
of the world where the language is
not spoken today.
German was spoken by 1000 per-
sons q century ago and now by b.
tween 100000 and 90000,000 pc
sons. the statistics showed. The rs7
of the Dutch language increas Il
from 100000 to 100000; Swedish
from 100000 to 100000 and Dam
ish from 100000 to 100000.
The growth of the Latin languages
on the other hand has been less
rapid with italian slightly IN the
lead. Spoken by 21.400,0oC century
ago, that language now is spoken
by a. 0OO 0OO while Spanish. which
was second in increase, was used by
35 100000 a century ago and now is
used by 500O0.O0O
French. the language of diplomacy.
has increased only from 32,400,00e
to 100000. but it is understood by
an additional 100000 foreigners.
The newspaper said that Turkish
was the only language showing a de-
crease in usage. In 1880 the
language was spoken by 30O0OO0O
people, but now only 2400Q,000

WHEAT PRICES
LOWER DESPITE
BULLISH NEWS
Corn Strong to FraCtionaIIy
Higher; Oats Unchanged
to Lower.

BIZ Ufed press
CHICAGO. June 28.-The rela-
lively strong foreign markets were
of little benefit in the early wheat
trading today, and futures dropped
slightly in spite Of Liverpool's bull
ish Interpretation of Canadian
weather news. Corn was strong but
oats showed little movement.
At the opening wheat was : cent
higher to q cent lower. corn was up
> to T. cent and oats were un-
changed to x cent lower. ProYl-
sions were firm.
Although somewhat less pessimls-
tic crop comments have been re-
ceived from the southwest, close
students Of conditions claim that
the rainfall so far in the spring
wheat area has been so light that a
few DAYS of hot and dry weather
will result in general drought COM
plants from both sides Of the inter-
national line. The majority of COM
mission houses continued to advo-
cate the buying side of wheat on all
recessions. but the pit element is
inclined to be bearish.
Private estimates on the corn
crop which are due early next week
are expected to show condition
we'll below the ten-year average.
Weather is favorable in most sec
lions but the late start and good de-
mand for spot corn keeps the
futures in fair support on the dips.
Liquidation is on in July oats as
the first delivery DAY nearS. Reports
on the new crop are still mixed, al
though the recent rains in Iowa are
expected to check crop deterioration
in that section of the belt.

Mistaken Notion That
Everything WasLost

DR.. John Watson used to tell a
story Of a Liverpool merchant who,
through no fault of his own, failed IN
business and came down with crash
from prosperity TO poverty. When Doc
tor Watson called TO offer sympathy
and assistance, he found his friend in
the depths of despair. Everything
has goneI" be moaned. 81 have lost
everything" That's bad" said Doc
tor Watson, $50 you've lost your repu
tation." NO; thank God" said the
man rather Indignantly, my name and
reputation are unsulIied." 'Then your
wife has left you" suggested Doctor
Watson my wife" cried his friend,
his eyes blazing with anger, my wife
is an angel-loyal and kind and true.
Il see" said Doctor Watson, then
your children have turned their backs
on you" 81 never seemed TO know
my children" said the man, until this
happened. They have been so brave
and tender and sympathetic" MY
dear old chap" said Doctor Watson,
you told me you had lost everything.
Why, you've lost nothing except

Picture Depicts the
First Forms of Life

Scientists generally agree that the
first forms of life originated in water
and an effort to illustrate this has
been made in an oil painting by Charles
r. knight of New York, which has
been placed In the hall of historical
geology of the Field Museum of Nat
ural History. The painting is pres
ent by q patron of the institution
The artist gave a great deal of time
to scientific Investigation before max
ing the painting. In 1t he has por-
trayed these earliest known forms of
Life as appearing in group of pools.
Within the waters Of these pools algae
of blue-green hue are shown in such
quantities az to tint the liquid with
their colors. They also have built up
a series of stony basins. In other
pools cushion-shaped forms of pink
algae are shown Other portions of
the deposits are seen to be tinged
brown or orange by algae Of the colors.
The adjoining rocks are represented
as being bare and naked, no other life
being In existence at this time The
rocks are mostly of black lava, but
some areas of a reddish color are
shown to indicate the great iron-bear-
ing deposits which were also formed
at this time.

the Jews in eastern Europe, the most

Those Jews who. toward the end OF
the Middle ages. left Germany for the

and LithuaniaD spoke the middle high
German of their places Of origin and
Up 10 the Sixteenth century wrote II
quite correctly, although they en-
pleyed the Hebrew alphabet The alb

neuter gender were lost; all the prep
ositions came TO be constructed with
the dative, etc Al the same time the
German sounds underwent certain
changes, and a large number OF He
brew, Aramaic and Slavic words were
Incorporated in the language The
resultant idiom. the Yiddish, supplant-
ed the Slavic spoken by the primitive
Jewish settlers In the east Of Europe,
and has been carried to all parts Of
the world, including Germany, admit

Early Railroader Had
Many Brilliant Ideas

AT Albany, n. Z, August 9, 1881. the
first scheduled passenger train to be
operated on American soil pulled away
from the makeshift depot with its 10
passengers Al the throttle was David
Matthew. an ingenious Scotsman.
destined to become the father of rail
road improvements Matthew was
proud of the cab that sheltered him,
for ii was the first one used and he
had devised IT Previous to that, en-
gineers and fremen had labored ex-
posed to the elements. On a subse
quent trip q herd of cattle blocked
the way and Matthew at once invented
what he called Cow catcher'-it
was constructed, however. to push the
cattle aside rather than TO catch them
In 1886 he made the first railway
snowplow and included a device TO
melt the snow and pour the water
into tank supplying the boiler.
Among his many other inventions
were two types of handcars 1.-THE first
onesl, the method Of forcing wheels
onto axles by pressure and device
for pouring sand under the locomotive
wheels to prevent slipping.
Matthew died In San Francisco In
1891 at the age of seventy-nine--De-
