"VOLAPUK."

The new universal language, "Volapuk," has already found a rival in a language equally new, and prospectively universal, called "Pasilingua." Its inventor (who is a German) has recognized that no existing language could serve the purpose of universality, and has accordingly devised a new tongue which shall suit the mouths of all men English is acknowledged to be the dominant principle; but how far its modification is necessary may be seen from the following verse of St. Matthew, ii, 3: Et quando ils partitefer schire, to angelo deode apparifer Fosephobi in una trauma, sagano: Arisire, takare ton jungon childon et tom matren et fliehre in Egypta et ere ibfa quoad mi bringar tubi wordas, car Herodes seekarar ton childillon pro 'lon detruar. - Notre Dame Scholastic.
